Rights.
|
(a)
|
Piggyback
Rights.
|
(i)
If the Company proposes to:
register any Capital Securities with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) under the Act (a “Registration”), the Company will give written notice
to all Holders, at least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated filing date
of its intention to effect such Registration, which notice will specify the
proposed offering price, the kind and number of securities proposed to be issued
in connection with such registration, the distribution arrangements and such
other information that at the time would be appropriate to include in such
notice, and will, subject to Section 2.1(a)(vi) below, include in such
registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has
received from the Holders written requests for inclusion therein (the
“Piggyback
Registration”) within
twenty (20) days after delivery of the Company's notice.
(ii)
Except as may otherwise be provided in
this Exhibit II, Registrable Securities with respect to which a request for
inclusion in a Registration made in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i) has been
received will be included by the Company and offered to the public in a
Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 on terms and conditions at
least as favorable as those applicable to the Registration of Capital Securities
to be sold by the Company and by any other person selling under such
Registration.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to effect
a Registration and before the effectiveness of any Registration Statement filed
in connection with such Registration, the Company determines for any reason
either not to effect such Registration or to delay such Registration, the
Company may, at its election, by delivery of a written notice to each Holder:
(A) in the case of a determination not to effect such Registration, relieve
itself of its obligation to include the Registrable Securities in connection
with such Registration; or (B) in the case of a determination to delay such
Registration, delay the inclusion of such Registrable Securities for the same
period as the delay in the Registration of such other shares of Capital
Securities.
(iv)
If a Holder of Registrable
Securities requests inclusion in a Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a),
such Holder may at any time at least five (5) Business Days before the effective
date of the Registration Statement relating to such Registration, revoke such
request by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Company (which
notice shall be effective only upon receipt by the Company).

(b)
|
Demand
Registration.
|
(i)
If the Company shall receive at any time a written request from the
Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering the registration of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall,
subject to the limitations of Section 2.2, use its best efforts to file as soon
as practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days of the
receipt of such request, a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable
Securities which the Holders request in writing to be registered within fifteen
(15) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company (a “Demand
Registration”). A demand
for registration under this Section 2.1(b) will not count as such until it has
become effective and unless the Holder is able to register and sell all of the
Registrable Securities included by such Holder in such registration
statement.
(ii)
If the Holder intends
to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an
underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made
pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) and the Company shall include such information
in the written notice referred to in Section 2.1(b)(i). The underwriter will be
selected by the Holder and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In
such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holder requesting a registration
pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) a certificate signed by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it
would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders or members
for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to
defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the
right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after
receipt of the request of the Initiating Holder; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this
right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
Section 2.2
Registration
Procedures.
(a)
With respect to any Registration under the Act, the Company will, subject to
Section 2.1, as expeditiously as practicable:

effective;
(ii)
use reasonable

file an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement and supplement to

fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact

or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not
misleading.

issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an

documents incorporated by reference), which documents will be subject to the
review of such selling Holder and managing underwriters, if any, for a period of
at least five (5) Business Days before filing, and the Company will not file any
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any
such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents
incorporated by reference) to which a selling Holder covered by such
Registration Statement or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably
object within five (5) Business Days after the receipt
thereof;
(vi)
make available at

underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Registrable Securities under the
