2. The undersigned hereby waive any right to a modified pro rata allocation of securities under Section 1.5(e) of the Agreement if the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by Holders to be included in the Follow-On Offering exceeds the amount of securities sold, other than by the Company, that the underwriters determine in good faith is compatible with the success of the offering, such that the right to participate in the Follow-On Offering shall be allocated pro rata in accordance with the total Registrable Securities held by all of the Holders.

3. The undersigned hereby acknowledge that Morrison & Foerster LLP shall be counsel for the selling Holders in the Follow-On Offering and agree that the Company shall not be liable under Section 1.7(a) of the Agreement for any legal fees or expenses of the Holders incurred in connection with the Follow-On Offering except such fees or expenses, not to exceed $35,000, incurred by Morrison & Foerster LLP.

4. Terms of Agreement; Conflicting Terms. Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the Agreement and this Waiver, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Wavier shall govern and control. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the “Agreement” in the Agreement shall refer to the Agreement, as modified by this Waiver.

5. Governing Law. This Amendment is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of the parties. All disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with this Waiver shall be subject to resolved exclusively by the federal courts located in the County of Santa Clara, California, and each party hereto agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and agrees that venue shall lie exclusively with such courts


4. Counterparts. This Waiver may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

5. Entire Agreement. In accordance with Section 3.7 of the Agreement, this Waiver shall be binding upon each holder of any Registrable Securities, each future holder of all such Registrable Securities, the Company and the Founder (as defined in the Agreement).
