Right to Require Registration. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 2, at any time after the date 6 months following a Qualified IPO, any Holder of 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock (a "Demand Holder") shall have the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for a public offering of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder when such right is exercised (the shares subject to the demand, the "Registration Demand Securities"), provided that any request for a Demand Registration (as defined below) shall not be otherwise deemed to be effective unless such request is with respect to Registrable Securities constituting at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the class of Registrable Securities. The demand registration rights granted to the Demand Holders in this Paragraph 2 are subject to the following limitations: (i) each Demand Holder may make a demand under this Paragraph 2 only two (2) times (a "Demand Registration"); (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to cause any registration statement filed under this Paragraph 2 to be declared effective less than six months after the effective date of the most recent registration statement filed by the Company on its own behalf; (iii) the managing underwriter of any such offering shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company and approved by the Demand Holder making the Demand Registration (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); (iv) notwithstanding the giving of notice by a Demand Holder of the exercise of its right to require registration under this Paragraph 2, the Company may elect to convert such registration into a registration of shares for sale by the Company pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof by providing notice to the Securityholders in accordance with Paragraph 1, and in such event the provisions of Paragraph 1 shall apply to such registration rather than the provisions of this Paragraph 2 and such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration; (v) during any two-year period, the Company may make a one-time election to postpone the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration for up to six months if the Board determines, in its good faith judgment, that (x) such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on, interfere with or delay any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction, (y) the filing of a registration statement or a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto would require disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) the Company is unable to comply with the registration requirements of the Commission; provided, that, in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such request for Demand Registration will not count as a request for Demand Registration hereunder and the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such withdrawn registration request; and (vi) any demand under this Paragraph 2 shall be for a firm commitment underwritten offering, with respect to which the Company shall be required to maintain an effective registration statement for a maximum of 90 days.
