Registration Procedures In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder participating therein advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) keep such registration effective for a reasonable period as necessary to permit the Holder or Holders to complete the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto;
(b) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and to keep such registration statement effective for that period of time specified in Section 7(a) above;
(c) furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(d) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practical moment;
(e) register or qualify such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder or underwriter reasonably requires, and keep such registration or qualification effective during the period set forth in Section 7(a) above;
(f) cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registrations to be listed on each securities exchange, including Nasdaq, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no such listing exists, use reasonable best efforts to list all Registrable Securities on one of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq; and
(g) cause its accountants to issue to the underwriter, if any, or the Holders, if there is no underwriter, comfort letters and updates thereof, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in such letters with respect to underwritten offerings;
(h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably, request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares);
(i) 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;
(j) notify each Holder, at any time a prospectus covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and
(k) take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by any Holder.
