2. Agreement Among the Company and the Stockholders.

2.1 Right of First Refusal.

(a) Grant. Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, each Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Series A Holders a Right of First Refusal to purchase all or any portion of Transfer Stock that such Key Holder may propose to transfer in a Proposed Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Prospective Transferee.

(b) Notice. Each Key Holder proposing to make a Proposed Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to each Series A Holder and the Company no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Transfer. Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee. To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 2, a Series A Holder must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by a Key Holder with the Company that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, the Company and the Key Holder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that the other provisions of any such agreements shall remain in full force and effect. If, however, this Agreement shall terminate, the right of first refusal provisions contained in such other agreements shall be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(c) Undersubscription of Transfer Stock. If options to purchase have been exercised by Series A Holders with respect to some but not all of the Transfer Stock by the end of the fifteen (15)-day period specified in Section 2.1(b) (the “Notice Period”), then the selling Key Holder shall, immediately after the expiration of the Notice Period, send written notice (the “Undersubscription Notice”) to the Company and those Series A Holders who fully

exercised their Right of First Refusal within the Notice Period (the “Exercising Holders”). Each Exercising Holder shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(c), have an additional option to purchase all or any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Holder must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Key Holder within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Notice Period. In the event that, at any time, there are two (2) or more Series A Holders that choose to exercise the Right of First Refusal for a total number of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase under this Section 2.2 shall be allocated to such Series A Holders pro rata based on the number of shares of Transfer Stock such Series A Holders have elected to purchase pursuant to the Right of First Refusal (without giving effect to any shares of Transfer Stock that any such Series A Holder has elected to purchase pursuant to the Undersubscription Notice). The selling Key Holder shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Holders of the number of remaining shares that the Exercising Holders elect to purchase pursuant to the Undersubscription Notice.

(d) Consideration; Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and as set forth in the Notice. Any Series A Holder may for any reason elect not to pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form of non-cash consideration, and instead such Series A Holder may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Notice. The closing of the purchase of Transfer Stock by the Series A Holders shall take place, and all payments from the Series A Holders shall be delivered to the selling Key Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Transfer and (ii) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.

2.2 Right of Co-Sale.

(a) Exercise of Right. If any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Transfer is not purchased pursuant to Section 2.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each Series A Holder may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Transfer as set forth in Section 2.2(b) below and otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice (provided that if a Series A Holder wishes to sell Preferred Stock, the price set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock). Each Series A Holder who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale must give the selling Key Holder written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the deadline for delivery of the Investor Notice described above, and upon giving such notice such Series A Holder shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.

(b) Shares Includable. Each Series A Holder who timely exercises such Series A Holder’s Right of Co-Sale by delivering the written notice provided for above in Section 2.2(a) may include in the Proposed Transfer all or any part of such Series A Holder’s Capital Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Transfer Stock subject to the Proposed Transfer (excluding shares purchased by the Series A

Holders pursuant to the Right of First Refusal) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Series A Holder immediately before consummation of the Proposed Transfer (including any shares that such Series A Holder has agreed to purchase pursuant to the Right of First Refusal) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Series A Holders immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer. To the extent one or more of the Series A Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Transfer Stock that the selling Key Holder may sell in the Proposed Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

(c) Delivery of Certificates. Each Series A Holder shall effect its participation in the Proposed Transfer by delivering to the selling Key Holder, no later than fifteen (15) days after such Series A Holder’s exercise of the Right of Co-Sale, one or more stock certificates, properly endorsed for transfer to the Prospective Transferee, representing:

(i) the number of shares of Common Stock that such Series A Holder elects to include in the Proposed Transfer; or

(ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock that is at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that such Series A Holder elects to include in the Proposed Transfer; provided, however, that if the Prospective Transferee objects to the delivery of convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Series A Holder shall first convert the Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the Prospective Transferee.

(d) Purchase Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction and the parties further covenant and agree to enter into such an agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(e) Deliveries. Each stock certificate a Series A Holder delivers to the selling Key Holder pursuant to Section 2.2(c) above will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement, and the selling Key Holder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each Series A Holder the portion of the sale proceeds to which such Series A Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. If any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Series A Holder exercising its Right of Co-Sale hereunder, no Key Holder may sell any Transfer Stock to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Series A Holder on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice.

(f) Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Transfer is not consummated within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Series A Holders, the Key Holder proposing the Proposed Transfer may not sell any Transfer Stock unless it complies in full again with each provision of this Section 2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any Series A Holder hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Stock subject to this Section 2.2.

(g) Different Securities. With respect to a Series A Holder’s Right of Co-Sale, if a Series A Holder holds shares of a different series, class or type of Capital Stock than the Transfer Stock or if the selling Key Holder holds shares of Capital Stock subject to forfeiture or repurchase, such Series A Holder, the selling Key Holder and the Prospective Transferee shall negotiate appropriate valuation adjustments with respect to such shares so that the proposed consideration for the Transfer Stock is equitably allocated so that such Series A Holder and the selling Key Holder each receives fair value for its shares. If the parties are not able to agree on an appropriate valuation, then the Board shall in good faith determine the fair value. A Series A Holder shall be required to exercise any warrants or options prior to their inclusion in any Proposed Transfer.

2.3 Effect of Failure to Comply.

(a) Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in 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).

(b) Violation of First Refusal Right. If any Key Holder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Stock to any Series A Holder under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Series A Holder may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Key Holder the purchase price for such Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of such Series A Holder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of a Series A Holder) on the Company’s books the certificate or certificates representing the Transfer Stock to be sold.

(c) Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Key Holder purports to sell any Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Series A Holder who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Section 2.2 may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Key Holder to purchase from such Series A Holder the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Series A Holder would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee under Section 2.2 had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of

Section 2.2. The sale will be made on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Key Holder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Series A Holder learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Section 2.2. Such Key Holder shall also reimburse each Series A Holder for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Series A Holder’s rights under Section 2.2.

3. Exempt Transfers.

3.1 Exempted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall not apply: (a) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Key Holder to its stockholders, members, partners, other equity holders, or to any venture capital fund or private equity fund now or hereafter existing which is controlled by or under common control with one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such Key Holder, (b) to a repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Transfer Stock pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board, (c) to a pledge of Transfer Stock that creates a mere security interest in the pledged Transfer Stock, provided that the pledgee thereof agrees in writing in advance to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were the Key Holder making such pledge, (d) in the case of a Key Holder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Transfer Stock by such Key Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of such Key Holder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other person approved by the Board, or any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, such Key Holder or any such family members, (e) pursuant to the terms of the Xxxxx Agreement, or (f) any transfers pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7; provided that in the case of clause(s) (a), (c), (d) or (e), the Key Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the Series A Holders of such pledge, gift or transfer and such shares of Transfer Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Stockholder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of a Stockholder with respect to Proposed Transfers of such Transfer Stock pursuant to Section 2; and provided, further, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (d) above, that such transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for such transfer.

3.2 Exempted Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer Stock (a) to the public in a Qualified IPO or (b) pursuant to a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation).

3.3 Prohibited Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in connection with (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company; or (ii) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation, no Key Holder shall transfer any Transfer Stock to (a) any entity which, in the determination of the Board, directly or indirectly competes with the Company or (b) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Board 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.

4. Bring-Along Right.

4.1 Definitions. A “Sale of the Company” shall mean either: (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company (a “Stock Sale”); or (ii) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation.

4.2 Actions to be Taken. In the event that the Board and the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (the “Selling Stockholders”), voting as a separate class and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, approve a Sale of the Company in writing and specify that this Section 4 shall apply to such transaction (each an “Approved Transaction”), then subject to Section 6 and Section 7, each Key Holder and each Series A Holder hereby agrees:

(a) if such Approved Transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all Shares that such Stockholder owns or over which such Stockholder otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Approved Transaction and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Approved Transaction;

(b) if such Approved Transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of Capital Stock beneficially held by such Stockholder as is being sold by the Selling Stockholders to the Person to whom the Selling Stockholders propose to sell their Shares, and, except as permitted in Section 4.3 below, on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Stockholders;

(c) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Approved Transaction as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the Selling Stockholders in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 4, including without limitation executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances) and any similar or related documents; provided, however, no Stockholder shall be required to execute or deliver any agreements, instruments and documents that are substantially different from the agreements, instruments and documents executed and delivered by the Selling Stockholders or the other Stockholders;

(d) not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares owned by such party or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquirer in connection with the Sale of the Company; and

(e) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Approved Transaction.

4.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder will not be required to comply with Subsection 4.2 above in connection with any proposed Approved Transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”) unless:

(a) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Stockholder in the Proposed Transaction and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its Stockholders in connection with such Proposed Transaction, is several and not joint with any other Person (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Stockholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Stockholders), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Transaction; and

(b) upon the consummation of the Proposed Transaction and subject to Section 6 and Section 7, (i) each holder of each class or series of the Company’s stock will receive the same form of consideration for their shares of such class or series as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same class or series of stock, (ii) each holder of a series of preferred stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of such series of preferred stock as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same series, (iii) each holder of Common Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of Common Stock, and (iv) unless the Required Holders elect to receive a lesser amount by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such Proposed Transaction, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of the Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a Deemed Liquidation Event (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Transaction is a Deemed Liquidation Event) in accordance with the Takagi Agreement and Section 6 and Section 7 hereof and the Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Transaction; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Transfer Stock pursuant to this Subsection 4.3(b) includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Stockholder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an

offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Transfer Stock, as applicable, which would have otherwise been sold by such Stockholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Stockholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Transfer Stock, as applicable.

4.4 Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company. No Stockholder shall be a party to any Stock Sale unless all holders of Preferred Stock are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Takagi Agreement, Section 6 and the Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Stock Sale (as if such transaction were a Deemed Liquidation Event), unless the Required Holders elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction or series of related transactions, provided that such agreement by the Required Holders may not contravene with Section 6 hereof.

5. Voting Provisions Regarding Board of Directors and Increases of Authorized Shares.

5.1 Size of the Board.

7. Prochon Holdings BV Note. The parties hereto agree to the following in connection with the Prochon Holdings BV Note.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Prochon Holdings BV Note, in no other event shall Prochon Holdings BV have any right to any payments on the Prochon Holdings BV Note.

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO, AND IN CERTAIN CASES PROHIBITED BY, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE STOCKHOLDER, THE CORPORATION AND CERTAIN OTHER HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION. BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SECURITIES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, OWNERSHIP AND VOTING SET FORTH THEREIN. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.

Each Key Holder 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 this Section 8 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of this Agreement at the request of the holder.

9. Lock-Up.

9.1 Agreement to Lock-Up. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of shares of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement of Form S-1 or Form S-3, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed l80 days) after the effective date of the Company’s IPO (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Stockholder or are thereafter acquired) or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, transfers pursuant to Section 6 hereof, or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Stockholder or the immediate family of the Stockholder provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to the Stockholders only if all officers and directors and stockholders individually (together with their Affiliates) owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Preferred Stock) are subject to the same restrictions. Any release from the lock-up restrictions as described in this Subsection 9.1 will be done pro rata among the Stockholders holding Registrable Securities, so that each such Stockholder of Registrable Securities may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of an equal percentage of his, her or its shares originally subject to the lock-up restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third party beneficiaries of this Subsection 9.1 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Stockholder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Subsection 9.1 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

9.2 Stop Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Capital Stock of each Stockholder (and transferees and assignees thereof) until the end of such restricted period.

10.2 Stock Split. All references to numbers of shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split, combination or other recapitalization affecting the Capital Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement.

10.3 Ownership.

10.5 Notices.

10.7 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder may not be waived with respect to any Stockholder without the written consent of such Stockholder unless such amendment, modification, termination or waiver applies to all Stockholders in the same fashion. The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, modification or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, modification, termination or waiver. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
