12



Registration Rights Agreement
The Issuer, the Reporting Persons, excluding Mr. Robert J. Palay and Dr. Thomas M. Palay, and certain other investors are party to the Fourth Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2012 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which contains certain registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons and other investors. The shares entitled to registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are referred to herein as “Registrable Securities”.
Demand registration rights
Under the Registration Rights Agreement and at any time beginning 180 days after July 24, 2013, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities may, on not more than two occasions, request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their shares. Such request for registration must cover that number of shares with an anticipated aggregate offering price to the public, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of at least $5.0 million. The Issuer will then be obligated to provide the holders of Registrable Securities with notice of such registration request within 30 days of the request and to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Issuer may postpone the filing of a registration statement for up to 180 days once in a 12-month period if in the good faith judgment of its board of directors such registration would be materially detrimental to the Issuer or it would materially interfere with any material transaction involving the Issuer, and the Issuer is not required to effect the filing of a registration statement during the period beginning 60 days prior to the Issuer’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date 180 days following the effective date of, a registration statement pertaining to a public offering of the Issuer’s securities.
Piggyback registration rights
If the Issuer registers any of its securities for public sale, the holders of Registrable Securities will be entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing the holders to include their shares in such registration, other than with respect to a registration related to employee benefit plans or corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, subject to certain marketing and other limitations.
Form S-3 registration rights
Any holder of Registrable Securities may make a request that the Issuer register its shares on Form S-3 if the Issuer is qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3 and if the aggregate price of the public offering is equal to or would exceed $1.0 million. These shareholders may make an unlimited number of requests for registration on Form S-3. However, the Issuer will not be required to effect a registration on Form S-3 during the period starting with the filing of and ending on the date six months following the effective date of a registration statement pertaining to a public offering. The Issuer is also not obligated to effect any such registration if, within 30 days of receipt of the holder’s request, the Issuer delivers a certificate executed by the Chairman of its board of directors indicating that the Issuer is engaged or has fixed plans to engage within 30 days in a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Stock in which Registrable Securities holders may include such securities. The Issuer may postpone the filing of a registration statement for up to 180 days once in a 12-month period if in the good faith judgment of directors it would be materially detrimental to the Issuer or it would materially interfere with any material transaction involving the Issuer.

13



The registration rights described above will expire, with respect to any particular shareholder, on July 24, 2018, and on the first date when the holders and affiliates may sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act during any 90-day period.
Options
Mr. Robert J. Palay and Dr. Thomas M. Palay each own the Options and additional options to purchase an aggregate of 215,386 shares of Common Stock, which have a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $9.77 per share.
Warrants
Tactics II-CDI Series B Investors, LLC, Tactics II-CDI Series B Investors II, LLC and Tactics II-CDI Series B Investors III, LLC hold warrants to purchase 639 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The warrants expire on June 27, 2023.
The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Lock-up Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement, each of which are incorporated by reference as Exhibits B, C and D hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
