The Company hereby grants to each Investor the right of first refusal to purchase pro
rata, all (or any part) of New Securities (as defined in this Section) that the Company may,
from time to time, propose to sell and issue. Such Investor's pro rata share, for purposes of

such Investor and (2) aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Shares
purchased by or issued to such Investor hereunder, and other options or warrants held by
such Investor are convertible, to the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
(including all outstanding options and warrants held by Investors) of the Company.
(b)
"New Securities" shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the
Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options, or warrants to purchase said
Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may
become, convertible into said Common stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that

to the Company's Series A or B Preferred Stock; (2) securities offered to the public pursuant
to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933; (3) securities issued

(c)
In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities,
it shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New
Securities, the price, and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the
same. Each Investor shall have [spelled number of days] (______) days from the date of
mailing of any such notice to agree to purchase his, her or its pro rata share of such New
Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the notice by giving written

notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
Each Investor shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any Investor fails to exercise
his or her right hereunder to purchase his or her pro rata portion of New Securities, the
Company shall so notify the other Investors and the other Investors may purchase the
nonpurchasing Investor's portion on a pro rata basis, within [spelled number of days]
(______) days from the date of such notice.
(d)
In the event that Investors fail to exercise in full the right of first refusal within said
[spelled number of days] (______) day period (plus [spelled number of days] (______) day
period, if applicable) the Company shall have [spelled number of days] (______) days
thereafter to sell the New Securities respecting which the Investors' rights were not
exercised, at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the investors thereof than
specified in the Company's notice. In the event that the Company has not sold the New
Securities within such [spelled number of days] (______) day period, the Company shall not
thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first offering such securities to the
Investors in the manner provided above.
(e)
The right of first refusal granted under this agreement shall expire upon the first
closing of the first firmly underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Company
that is pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC
under the Securities Act of 1933, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock to the public
at a per share price (prior to underwriter commissions and expenses) of at least $______ and
at an aggregate offering price (after deducting underwriting commissions and expenses) of
not less than $______.
(f)
This right of first refusal is assignable only in connection with a sale or other transfer
of Shares or Common Stock issued on conversion thereof.

rights under this Section may not be amended or waived without the consent of such
