INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Investor Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by and among:

(i)

GoAmerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Company”);

(ii)

Each of the shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (each a “Sponsor” and, collectively the “Sponsors”); and

(iii)

such other Persons, if any, that from time to time become parties hereto pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof (collectively, together with the Sponsors, the “Shareholders”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and the Sponsors are parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Initial Stock Purchase Agreement”) in which the Company has agreed to sell to the Sponsors 290,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Sponsors are parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Acquisition Stock Purchase Agreement” and, collectively with the Initial Stock Purchase Agreement, the “Clearlake Stock Purchase Agreements”) in which the Company has agreed to sell to the Sponsors, subject to the happening of the conditions specified therein, up to 6,479,691 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire for the Company to provide the registration rights set out in this Agreement. Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1.	DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.

1.1. Requests for Registration. At any time a Sponsor may initiate the registration of Common Stock to be sold in a Public Offering (a “Demand Registration”). Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1, a Sponsor may initiate (on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliate) three (3) registrations of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar or successor long-form registration (“Long-Form Registrations”), and, if the Company is eligible to utilize a registration statement on Form S-3 for resales by selling stockholders, an unlimited (but no more than two such registrations in any twelve month period) number of registrations of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar or successor short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”); provided in each case that the aggregate gross offering price of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in any Long Form Registration

pursuant to this Section must equal the greater of (a) $5,000,000 or (b) all of the Common Stock and Conversion Shares then held by such Sponsor and its Affiliates); and provided, further, that the Company shall have no liability to any Shareholder with respect to any conditions that the Securities and Exchange Commission may impose with respect to any such registration, including any conditions that the Securities and Exchange Commission may impose upon the utilization of Rule 415 in connection with any such registration.

1.2. Demand Notice. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”). Each Demand Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such Demand Notice, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to Section 1.5, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of the Company’s notice.

1.3. Demand Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration, whether or not it has become effective.

1.4. Short-Form Registrations. Subject to the qualifications set forth herein and subject to any limitations that the Securities and Exchange Commission may impose, (i) Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short-form (unless the managing underwriter(s) of such offering requests the Company to use a Long-Form Registration in order to sell all of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold) and (ii) the Sponsors may, in connection with any Demand Registration requested by such holders that is a Short-Form Registration, require the Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file such Short-Form Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) including, if the Company is then eligible, as an automatic shelf registration statement (any such Short-Form Registration, a “Shelf Registration”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Securities and Exchange Commission refuses to declare a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement effective as a valid secondary offering under Rule 415 due to the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement relative to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates or for any other reason, then, without any liability under this Agreement or any further obligation to register such excess Registrable Securities, the Company shall be permitted to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement to an amount that does not exceed an amount that the Securities and Exchange Commission allows for the offering thereunder to qualify as a valid secondary offering under Rule 415. The Company shall not be liable for damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in a registration statement due to Securities and Exchange Commission guidance relating to Rule 415.

1.5. Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior receipt of Majority Sponsor Approval. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities, requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company shall include in such registration, (a) prior to the inclusion of any securities that are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata (based on the number of shares requested to be registered) among the respective holders thereof, provided that if the number of securities that are Registrable Securities that are included in such offering are less than 75% of the number of securities that are Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, such offering shall not count for purposes of calculating the number of Long-Form Registrations initiated by a Majority Sponsor, and (b) only then securities that are not Registrable Securities, if the managing underwriter(s) has advised that such securities may be included.

1.6. Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 90 days after the closing of a Public Offering (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form, but including the closing of an underwritten distribution pursuant to a Shelf Registration), except that if such Public Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of such Public Offering determines that a longer period, not to exceed 180 days, is reasonably necessary in its opinion, then such restricted period shall continue for the period designated by the managing underwriter, provided that such period shall not extend beyond 180 days after the closing of such Public Offering. The Company may postpone for up to 45 days (from the date of the request) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if and so long as the Company determines that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, registration or issuance of securities, financing or other material transaction. The Company may not postpone a Demand Registration more than two (2) times in any twelve-month period.

1.7. Selection of Underwriters. The Sponsor(s) selling a majority of the Registrable Securities to be sold by all Sponsors in a Demand Registration will have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, provided that such selection will be subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

1.8. Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any equity securities of the Company, other than this Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without Majority Sponsor Approval

approving the grant of registration rights for such securities; provided that without such approval, subject to Section 6, (a) the Company may grant rights to other Persons to participate in Demand Registrations and Piggyback Registrations so long as such rights are subordinate to the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities with respect to such Demand Registrations and Piggyback Registrations; and (b) the Company may grant rights to other Persons to request registrations so long as the holders of Registrable Securities are entitled to participate in any such registrations with such Persons pro rata on the basis of the number of Common Stock owned by each such holder.

2.	PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

2.1. Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than (a) pursuant to a Demand Registration, (b) in connection with registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form or (c) in connection with the registration of shares on Form S-3 with respect to a dividend reinvestment plan) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below, will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of the Company’s notice. Each such Company notice shall specify the approximate number of Company equity securities to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.

2.2. Piggyback Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration becomes effective.

2.3. Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering, the Company will include in such registration: (a) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (b) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata (based on the number of shares requested to be registered) among the holders of such Registrable Securities, and (c) third, the other securities requested to be included in the such registration in the manner determined by the Company and such shareholders.

2.4. Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Company securities (other than the holders of Registrable Securities), and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration: (a) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting registration, (b) second, securities requested by the Company to be included in such registration, and (c) third, Registrable Securities and other securities

requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities and the holders of such other securities permitted to have their securities included in such registration on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder.

3.	REGISTRATION GENERALLY.

3.1. Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

(a) prepare and (within 60 days after the end of the period within which requests for inclusion in such registration may be given to the Company) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to counsel selected by the Sponsors owning the Registrable Securities to be included in any Demand Registration copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review by such counsel);

(b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary (i) to keep such registration statement effective for a period (A) of not less than 180 days (subject to extension pursuant to Section 3.3(b)) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer, or (B) in the case of a Shelf Registration, ending on the earliest of (I) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities, (II) the second anniversary of the effective date of such Shelf Registration, (III) such other date determined by the Majority Sponsors and (IV) when all such Registrable Securities are freely saleable under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, and (ii) to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(c) cause (i) any issuer free writing prospectus to comply with the information and legending requirements under paragraph (c) of Rule 433 and to be accompanied or preceded by a statutory prospectus to the extent required under Rule 433, and (ii) any free writing prospectus or issuer information contained in a free writing prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under paragraph (d) under Rule 433 to be so filed in accordance with such requirements;

(e) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such States as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(f) promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the prospective purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

(g) use best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on the NASD automated quotation system and, if listed on the NASD automated quotation system, use commercially reasonable efforts to secure designation of all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement as a “NMS Security” within the meaning of Rule 600(b)(46) of Regulation NMS of the Securities and Exchange Commission or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such Registrable Securities;

(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(i) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Sponsors owning a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (which might include effecting a share split or a combination of shares);

(j) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement, and to cooperate and participate as reasonably requested by any such seller in road show presentations, in the preparation of the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein, and other activities as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

(l) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(m) obtain one or more comfort letters, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in the then-current customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily

covered from time to time by comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request;

(n) provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in the then-current customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered from time to time by legal opinions of such nature (in a form reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration);

(o) cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or agent, if any, or such holders may request;

(p) notify counsel for the sellers of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (i) when the registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any supplement to the prospectus or any amendment prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission, (iii) of any request of the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

(q) use its reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

(r) if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such holder reasonably

requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(s) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and

(t) cause its appropriate officers to attend and participate in presentations to and meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities, or a “roadshow”, as reasonably requested by the underwriters, if any.

The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information relating to the sale or registration of such Securities regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, prior to including such seller’s Registrable Securities in such registration.

(b) In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, whether or not it has become effective, the Company will pay, and reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration for the payment of, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one

counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration, such amount not to exceed $25,000 for each registration, and such expenses shall be considered Registration Expenses hereunder.

3.3. Participation in Underwritten Offerings.

(a) No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s), provided that no holder of Registrable Securities will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such holder has requested the Company to include in any registration) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

(b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1(f) above, such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 3.1(f). In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in Section 3.1(b) during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this paragraph to and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1(f).

3.4. Holdback Agreements.

To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder of Registrable Securities shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Common Stock, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the holder (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the holder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, during (a) with respect to any other underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included, the seven days prior to and the 90-day period (or such longer period not to exceed 180 days if reasonably necessary in the opinion of such underwriter) beginning on the effective date of such registration, and (b) upon notice from the Company of the commencement of an

underwritten distribution in connection with any Shelf Registration, the seven days prior to and the 90-day period (or such longer period not to exceed 180 days if reasonably necessary in the opinion of such underwriter) beginning on the date of commencement of such distribution, in each case except as part of such underwritten registration, and in each case unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree (in each case, such period, the “Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, if (i) during the period that begins on the date that is 15 calendar days plus three Business Days before the last day of the Lock-Up Period and ends on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16 day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions imposed shall continue to apply until the expiration of the date that is 15 calendar days plus three Business Days after the date on which the issuance of the earnings release or the material news or material event occurs. Any waiver by the underwriters of the foregoing restrictions on transfers by the holders shall be granted to all holders on equal terms.

The Company shall not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Common Stock, including but not limited to any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Stock or any such substantially similar securities, during (a) with respect to any other underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included, the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of such registration, and (b) upon notice from any holder(s) of Registrable Securities subject to a Shelf Registration that such holder(s) intend to effect an underwritten distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration (upon receipt of which, the Company will promptly notify all other holders of Registrable Securities of the date of the commencement of such distribution), the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of such distribution, in each case except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8, and in each case unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.

3.5. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

4.	REGISTRATION INDEMNIFICATION.

4.1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and, as applicable, its officers, directors, trustees, employees, shareholders, holders of beneficial interests, members, and general and limited partners (collectively, such holder’s “Indemnitees”) and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, equivalent foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, together with any documents incorporated therein by reference or, (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each of its Indemnitees for any legal or any other expenses, including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

4.2. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement, prospectus or free writing prospectus, and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Indemnitees against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, equivalent foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application, together with any documents incorporated therein by reference or (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or

free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein, and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such Indemnitee for any legal or any other expenses including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of such holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be individual (and not joint and several) to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, less any other amounts paid by such holder in respect of such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission.

4.3. Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give such notice), and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

4.4. Entry of Judgment; Settlement. The indemnifying party shall not, except with the approval of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without any payment or consideration provided by such indemnified party.

4.5. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is, other than expressly pursuant to its terms, unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registered offering of securities as to which indemnity is sought or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such

losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The obligation to provide contribution will be individual (and not joint and several) to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, less any other amounts paid by such holder, including pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, in respect of such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission.

The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no seller of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement filed pursuant hereto, less any other amounts paid by such holder in respect of such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.6. Other Rights. The indemnification and contribution by any such party provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities.

5.	TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

5.1. General Transfer Restrictions. Each Shareholder understands and agrees that the Shares held by such Shareholder on the date hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state law. No Shareholders shall Transfer Shares (or solicit any offers in respect of any Transfer of such Shares), except in compliance with the Securities Act, any applicable state law or in accordance with agreements applicable to such Transfer.

5.2. Restrictions on Transfer. No Shareholder shall Transfer any of such Shareholder’s Shares to any other Person except as follows:

5.2.1. Private Transfers. Any Sponsor may Transfer any or all of such Sponsor’s Shares to such Sponsor’s Permitted Transferees and such transferee shall be deemed to be a Sponsor hereunder and shall deliver a signature page hereto agreeing to be bound hereby, simultaneously with the Transfer of such Shares. Any transferring Sponsor under this Section shall provide prompt written notice to the Company of any such Transfer, indicating its reliance on this provision and the identity and contact information of the Permitted Transferee.

5.2.2. Public Transfers.

(a) Any Shareholder may Transfer any or all of such Shareholders’ Shares, to the extent they constitute Common Stock, in a Public Offering undertaken in accordance with this Agreement without the consent of the Company or the other Shareholders.

(b) A Shareholder may Transfer any or all of such Shareholder’s Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

6.	PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

6.1. Offering.

(a) If the Company issues or sells or authorizes the issuance or sale of any New Securities (as defined in Section 6.3 below) after the date hereof, the Company shall offer to each Sponsor by written notice (a “Subscription Notice”) a percentage of such New Securities pro rata based on the relative number of Shares held by such Sponsor as compared to the number of Shares and then-exercisable stock options and warrants outstanding held by all holders of the Company’s Shares, stock options and warrants. Each such Sponsor shall be entitled to purchase such New Securities at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms as such New Securities are to be sold or issued; provided that if a Person participating in such purchase of New Securities is required in connection therewith also to purchase other securities of the Company, the Sponsors exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall also be required to purchase such other securities on substantially the same economic terms and conditions as those on which the offeree of the New Securities is required to purchase such other securities. Each Sponsor participating in such purchase shall also be obligated to execute agreements in the form presented to such Sponsor by the Company, so long as such agreements are substantially similar to those to be executed by the purchasers of New Securities (without taking into consideration any rights which do not entitle such a purchaser to a higher economic return on the New Securities than the economic return to which other Sponsors

participating in such transaction will be entitled with respect to New Securities). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not have any obligation to issue equity securities or to offer to issue any equity securities under this Section 6 to any Sponsor who is not an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Subscription Notice delivered by the Company to a Sponsor in respect of any proposed issuance or sale of New Securities shall describe in reasonable detail the type, class and number of New Securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms therefor and the percentage thereof offered to such holder pursuant to this Section 6. In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder in respect of any issuance or sale of New Securities described in a Subscription Notice, a Sponsor must deliver to the Company during the fifteen (15) day period commencing upon such holder’s receipt of such Subscription Notice (the “Subscription Period”), a written commitment describing its election hereunder (an “Election Notice”). If a Sponsor fails for any reason to deliver an Election Notice to the Company during the Subscription Period with respect to a proposed issuance or sale of New Securities, such Sponsor shall be deemed to have waived its rights pursuant to this Section 6 in respect of such issuance or sale of New Securities.

6.2. Expiration of Subscription Period. Within the 180-day period immediately following the Subscription Period, the Company shall be entitled to sell, or enter into any agreement to sell, any New Securities which any Sponsor has not elected to purchase, on terms and conditions no more favorable to the offeree of such New Securities than those offered to the Sponsors pursuant to Section 6.1. Any New Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 180-day period must be reoffered to each Sponsor pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.

6.3. New Securities. For purposes hereof, “New Securities” means any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, or any options, convertible securities or other rights to acquire shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, other than (a) the issuance and sale of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Clearlake Stock Purchase Agreements, (b) Common Stock (or options to acquire Common Stock) issued or issuable to any employee, director or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any equity incentive plan or other arrangement approved by the Company’s Board, (c) Common Stock or other securities issued directly or indirectly upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities previously subjected to this Section 6 or outstanding on the date hereof, (d) Common Stock or other securities issued in connection with or in furtherance of the acquisition of or investment in another company or business (whether through a purchase of securities, a merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise), (e) Common Stock or other securities issued in connection with or in furtherance of the incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money or for equipment lease financings by the Company or its subsidiaries, (f) Common Stock or other securities issued or issuable in a Public Offering, (g) Common Stock or other securities issued in connection with any stock split, dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction, (h) Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of warrants or other securities or rights to persons or entities with which the Company has or is entering into a technology or other strategic relationship not for the purpose of raising money or providing financing, (i) Common Stock issued or issuable upon

conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or as dividends or distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock and (j) Common Stock or other securities issued directly or indirectly upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities issued pursuant to any of the clauses of this Section 6.3.

8.	MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

8.2. Remedies. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies at law or in equity existing in its favor, any party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.3. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and Persons holding a majority of Sponsor Registrable Securities, provided, that the admission of new parties pursuant to the terms of Section 8.4 shall not constitute an amendment of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amendment, modification, extension, termination or waiver (an “Amendment”) would treat any Shareholder or group of Shareholders in a manner different from, and materially adverse relative to, the Sponsors voting in favor of such Amendment, then such Amendment will require the consent of the Shareholder or Shareholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities of such group adversely treated. Each such Amendment shall be binding upon each party hereto and each Shareholder subject hereto. In addition, each party hereto and each Shareholder subject hereto may waive any right hereunder, as to itself, by an instrument in writing signed by such party or Shareholder. The failure of any party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. To the extent the Amendment of any Section of this Agreement would require a specific consent pursuant to this Section 8.3, any Amendment to definitions to the extent used in such Section shall also require the specified consent.

8.4. Successors and Assigns; Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities after any Transfer (except if such securities were effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement covering them, sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or sold in a block sale to a financial institution in the ordinary course of its trading business). Any transferee receiving shares of Registrable Securities in a Transfer effected in compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall become a Shareholder, party to this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of, and be entitled to enforce, this

Agreement to the same extent, and in the same capacity, as the Person that Transfers such Registrable Securities to such transferee; provided that only a Permitted Transferee of a Sponsor will be deemed to be a Sponsor for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any transferee receiving Registrable Securities in a Transfer that is not a Sponsor or a Permitted Transferee of a Sponsor or its Affiliates will become a party to this Agreement without the benefit of the right to initiate Demand Registrations or other rights afforded to the Sponsors hereunder. Prior to the Transfer of any Registrable Securities to any transferee, and as a condition thereto, each Shareholder effecting such Transfer shall (a) cause such transferee to deliver to the Company and each of the Shareholders its written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent described in the preceding sentence and (b) if such Transfer is to a Permitted Transferee, remain directly liable for the performance by such Permitted Transferee of all obligations of such transferee under this Agreement.

8.5. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

8.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

8.7. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

8.8. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given, delivered and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 8.8 prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day preceding the next Business Day, or (iii) one (1) Business Day after when sent, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service (charges prepaid).
