(d) The Company shall not be required by this Section 4 to include the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement which is to be filed if, in the opinion of counsel for both the Holders and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to counsel for the Holders and the Company) the proposed offering or other transfer as to which such registration is requested is exempt from applicable federal and state securities laws and would result in all purchasers or transferees obtaining securities which are not "restricted securities," as defined in Rule 144..

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Common Stock to by be issued by the Company, the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of the Common Stock included in any such registration statement because, in such underwriter’s 's judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions: (a) if the registration statement is for a public offering of common stock on a "firm commitment" basis with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $15,000,000 30,000,000 and a minimum price of $5.00 per share (a “Qualified Public Offering”"QUALIFIED PUBLIC OFFERING"), the Company may exclude, to the extent so advised by the underwriters, the Registrable Securities from the underwriting; provided, however, that if the underwriters do not entirely exclude the Registrable Securities from such Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement, with respect to the requesting Holder, only an amount of Registrable Securities equal to the product of (i) the number of Registrable Securities that remain available for registration after the underwriter’s 's cutback and (ii) such Holder’s 's percentage of ownership of all the Registrable Securities then outstanding (on an as-converted basis) (the “Registrable Percentage”"REGISTRABLE PERCENTAGE"); and (b) if the registration statement is not for a Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement, with respect to the requesting Holder, only an amount of Registrable Securities equal to the product of (i) the number of Registrable Securities that remain available for registration after the underwriter’s 's cutback and (ii) such Holder’s 's Registrable Percentage; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration may not be so reduced to less than 3010% of the total value of all securities included in such registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting referred to in this paragraph, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. No incidental right under this paragraph shall be construed to limit any registration required under the other provisions of this Agreement.. EXECUTION COPY
