In the event that the Corporation and/or any other securityholder of the Corporation proposes to offer and sell its securities as part of any Demand Qualification initiated by the Requesting Holders under this Agreement and the Demand Notice requests that the Demand Qualification be for an underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Corporation in good faith and in writing that the aggregate amount of securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the Demand Qualifiable Securities in such offering, then the Corporation will include in such Demand Qualification, to the extent of the amount that the managing underwriter or underwriters believe may be sold without causing such material adverse effect, first, the Qualifiable Securities of the Requesting Holders requested to be included in the offering under this subsection 2.1(a), and second, securities offered by the Corporation for its own account and/or by any other securityholder of the Corporation (in such proportions as between the Corporation and such other securityholders as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion).
