2.	Demand Registration.

(a)	Demand by Qualified Shareholders.

(i) If, at any time following the IPO, the Company does not otherwise have an effective registration statement on Form S-3 covering a Holder’s Registrable Securities on file with the SEC and the Company shall have received a request, subject to Section 15, from any Qualified Shareholder (the “Requesting Shareholder”) that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of such Requesting Shareholder’s Registrable Securities and stating the intended method of distribution thereof, (x) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form Registration Statement (a “Long-Form Registration”) or (y) on Form S-3 or any similar short-form Registration Statement, which shall include a prospectus supplement to an existing Form S-3 (a “Short-Form Registration”) if the Company qualifies to use such short-form Registration Statement (any such requested Long-Form Registration or Short-Form Registration, a “Demand Registration”), and specifying the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof, then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration, give written notice of such request (a “Demand Notice”) to the other Holders, specifying the number of Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Shareholder has requested registration under this Section 2(a) and stating the intended method of distribution thereof. During the seven (7) Business Days after receipt of a Demand Notice, all Holders (other than the Requesting Shareholder) may provide a written request to the Company, specifying the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holders requested to be registered as part of such Demand Registration; provided that, if, on the date of any request by a Qualified Shareholder, the Company qualifies as a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply, and the provisions of Section 3 shall apply instead.

(ii) The Company shall file such Registration Statement with the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days of such request, in the case of a Long-Form Registration, and thirty (30) calendar days of such request, in the case of a Short-Form Registration, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions as any Participating Shareholder or any underwriter, if any, reasonably requests, as expeditiously as possible, all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(a), (x) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Long-Form Registrations over any twelve (12) month period at the request of any Holder, (y) from and after the time the Company becomes eligible for a Short-Form Registration, the Holders shall be entitled to effect four (4) Short-Form Registrations per calendar year and (z) the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration equals or exceeds five million dollars ($5,000,000) if pursuant to a Long-Form Registration, or two million dollars ($2,000,000) if pursuant to a Short-Form Registration.

(b)

Demand Withdrawal. A Participating Shareholder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration prior to three (3) Business Days before the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement. Upon receipt of a notice from all of the Participating Shareholders to such effect, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, and such registration shall nonetheless be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2(a) unless (i) the withdrawing Participating Shareholders shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for their pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the registration of the withdrawing Participating Shareholders’ withdrawn Registrable Securities (based on the number of Registrable Securities such withdrawing Participating Shareholders sought to register, as compared to the total number of Company Shares included on such Registration Statement) or (ii) the withdrawal is made following the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change, because the registration would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or because the Company otherwise requests withdrawal.

(c)	Registration Expenses. The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration, regardless of whether such registration is effected, subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 2(b)(i), if applicable.

(d)

Effective Registration. A Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred if the Registration Statement relating thereto (i) has become effective under the Securities Act and (ii) has remained effective for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) calendar days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Participating Shareholders included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder or withdrawn) or, if such Registration Statement relates to an Underwritten Offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters, a prospectus is required by Law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer (the applicable period, the “Demand Period”); provided, that a Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred if, (x) during the Demand Period, such Registration Statement is not available for use as a result of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Entity or court, (y) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach of such applicable underwriting agreement by any Participating Shareholder or (z) the Maximum Offering Size (as defined below) is reduced in accordance with Section 2(f) such that less than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities that the Requesting Shareholders sought to be included in such registration are included.

(e)	Underwritten Offerings. If any Participating Shareholder that is a Qualified Shareholder so requests, an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering.

(f)

Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering advise the Board (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the Board determines in its reasonable discretion) that, in its view, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares offered in such offering (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such registration, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size:

(i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Requesting Shareholder(s); provided that any Requesting Shareholder may elect to allocate its priority to permit any other holder of Common Stock to register shares in lieu of the same amount of Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Shareholder;

(ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the other Participating Shareholders (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Participating Shareholders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities owned by the Participating Shareholders; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Participating Shareholder that exceed such Participating Shareholder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Participating Shareholders in like manner); and

(iii) third, and only if all the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) have been included, any securities proposed to be registered by the Company or any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons, with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine.

(g)

Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration. If, upon the determination of a majority of the members of the Board, the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of a Demand Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Participating Shareholders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement (a “Demand Suspension”); provided, that (i) the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Demand Suspension (x) more than four (4) times during any twelve (12) month period or (y) for more than ninety (90) calendar days per Demand Suspension and (ii) such Demand Suspension shall terminate at such time as the Company would no longer be required to make any Adverse Disclosure; and provided, further, that in the event of a Demand Suspension, if a Participating Shareholder has not sold any Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement, it shall be entitled to withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Demand Registration and, if all Participating Shareholders so withdraw, such Demand Registration shall not be counted for purposes of the limit on Demand Registrations requested by such Participating Shareholders in Section 2(a). In the case of a Demand Suspension, the Participating Shareholders agree to suspend use of the applicable prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectuses in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Participating Shareholders upon the termination of any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and furnish to the Participating Shareholders such numbers of copies of the prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Participating Shareholders may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the applicable Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the applicable Demand Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, or as may reasonably be requested by the Participating Shareholders.

3.	Shelf Registration.

(a)

Filing. If, at any time following the IPO, the Company shall have received a request, subject to Section 15, by a Qualified Shareholder (a “Shelf Request”), for the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3, and at such time the Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of such Shelf Request, file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time including customary methods of distribution and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act (or if the Company qualifies to do so, it shall file an automatic Shelf Registration Statement in response to any such request). If, on the date of any such Shelf Request, the Company does not qualify to file a Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply, and the provisions of Section 2 shall apply instead.

(b)

Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act (including, if necessary, by renewing or refiling a Shelf Registration Statement prior to expiration of the existing Shelf Registration Statement or by filing with the SEC a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or any document incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities or blue sky Laws, or any rules and regulations thereunder) in order to permit the prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or another Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) and (ii) the date as of which each of the Holders is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”).

(c)

Shelf Notice. The Company shall (i) promptly upon receipt of any request to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(a) (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), deliver a written notice of any such request to all other Holders and (ii) include on such Shelf Registration Statement the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holders requested to be registered within ten (10) Business Days of the written notice referred to in clause (i).

(d)

Suspension of Registration. If, upon the determination of a majority of the members of the Board, the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, that (i) the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (x) more than four (4) times during any twelve (12) month period, or (y) for more than ninety (90) calendar days per Shelf Suspension and (ii) such Shelf Suspension shall terminate at such time as the Company would no longer be required to make any Adverse Disclosure. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the prospectus and any issuer free writing prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the shelf registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Holders.

(e)

Underwritten Takedown. For any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement for which the value of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered is at least two million dollars ($2,000,000) and a Registration Statement is effective or has been requested under Section 2(a), any Qualified Shareholder (the “Underwritten Requesting Shareholder”) may elect for an offering to be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, and the Company shall prepare a prospectus or prospectus supplement for such purpose. The Underwritten Requesting Shareholder shall give written notice to the Company of such intention (i) for a Shelf Registration Statement, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such Underwritten Offering is anticipated to launch, specifying the number of Registrable Securities for which the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder is requesting registration under this Section 3(e) or (ii) for a Demand Registration, at the time of the demand under Section 2(a) and, in each case, the other material terms of such Underwritten Offering (such request, an “Underwritten Takedown Request,” and any Underwritten Offering conducted pursuant thereto, an “Underwritten Takedown”), and the Company shall (i) for a Shelf Registration Statement, one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such Underwritten Takedown Request or (ii) for a Demand Registration, at the time of the demand under Section 2(a), give written notice of such Underwritten Takedown Request (such notice, an “Underwritten Takedown Notice”) to the other Participating Shareholders and such Underwritten Takedown Notice shall offer the other Participating Shareholders the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Takedown the number of Registrable Securities as each such other Participating Shareholder may request in writing. Subject to (i) Section 3(f) and Section 3(g) for a Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) Section 2(b) and Section 2(f) for a Demand Registration, the Company and the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) shall cause the underwriter(s) to include as part of the Underwritten Takedown all Registrable Securities that are requested to be included therein by any of the other Participating Shareholders in writing within (i) two (2) Business Days of delivery of such notice for a Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice for a Demand Registration; provided, that all such other Participating Shareholders requesting to participate in the Underwritten Takedown must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s); provided, further, that, if at any time after making an Underwritten Takedown Request and prior to the launch of the Underwritten Takedown, the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) shall determine for any reason not to proceed with or to delay such Underwritten Takedown, the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) shall give written notice to the Company of such determination and the Company shall give written notice of the same to each other Participating Shareholder and, thereupon, (x) in the case of a determination not to proceed, the Company and such Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) shall be relieved of their respective obligations to cause the underwriter(s) to include any Registrable Securities of the other Participating Shareholders as part of such Underwritten Takedown (but the Company shall not be relieved from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the other registration rights contained herein, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Takedown, the Company and such Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) shall be relieved of their respective obligations to cause the underwriter(s) to include any Registrable Securities of the other Participating Shareholders as part of such Underwritten Takedown for the same period as the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) determine(s) to delay such Underwritten Takedown.

(f) Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Underwritten Takedown. If the managing underwriter of an Underwritten Takedown advises the Company or the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) that, in its view, the number of Company Shares that the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) and such other Participating Shareholders intend to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company and the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s) shall cause the underwriter(s) to include in such Underwritten Takedown, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size:

(i)

first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder(s); provided that any Underwritten Requesting Shareholder may elect to allocate its priority to permit any other holder of Common Stock to register shares in lieu of the same amount of Registrable Securities held by such Underwritten Requesting Shareholder;

(ii)

second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the other Participating Shareholders (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Participating Shareholders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities owned by the Participating Shareholders; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Participating Shareholder that exceed such Participating Shareholder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Participating Shareholders in like manner); and

(iii)

third, and only if all the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) have been included, any securities proposed to be registered by the Company or any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons, with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine.

To the extent requested by any lead managing underwriter in connection with each Underwritten Offering, the Company and each Participating Shareholder shall agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Company Shares or other security of the Company (except as part of such Underwritten Offering) during the period beginning on the date that is no earlier than estimated by the Company, in good faith and provided in writing to such Holder, to be the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day prior to the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement (or the anticipated launch date in the case of a “take-down” off of an already effective Shelf Registration Statement) until the earlier of (i) such time as the Company and any lead managing underwriter shall agree and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement (or the pricing date in the case of a “take-down” off of an already effective Shelf Registration Statement); provided, that the Company shall cause all directors and executive officers of the Company to enter into agreements similar to those contained in this Section 4(a) (without regard to this proviso), subject to exceptions for gifts, sales pursuant to pre-existing 10b5-1 plans and other customary exclusions agreed to by any lead managing underwriter; provided further, that any lead managing underwriter may extend such period as necessary to comply with applicable FINRA rules.

5.	Other Registration Rights.

The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any agreement (other than as provided herein) granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any Company Shares.

6.	Registration Procedures.

In connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, subject to the provisions of such Sections:

(a)

Prior to filing a Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish to each Participating Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Company shall furnish to such Participating Shareholder and underwriter, if any, without charge such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 or Rule 430A under the Securities Act and such other documents as such Participating Shareholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Shareholder. Each Participating Shareholder shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such Registration Statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to such Participating Shareholder upon four (4) Business Days written notice and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to comply with such request; provided, that the Company shall not have any obligation to so modify any information if the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(b)

In connection with any filing of any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall cause such document (i) to comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and (ii) with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(c)	The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities and the underwriter(s) when a Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective.

(d)

The Company shall furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for the Holders of such Registrable Securities with copies of any written comments from the SEC or any state securities authority or any written request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information generally.

(e)

After the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Participating Shareholders set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such prospectus and (iii) promptly notify each Participating Shareholder holding Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC or any state securities commission and use commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

(f)

The Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Participating Shareholder holding such Registrable Securities reasonably (in light of such Participating Shareholder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Participating Shareholder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Shareholder, provided, that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6(f), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(g)

The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to list such Registrable Securities on the principal securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed and provide a transfer agent, registrar and CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(h)

The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each Participating Shareholder and the underwriter or managing underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (or its book-entry equivalent) representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends (including by delivering to the transfer agent a Company instruction letter and a written opinion from counsel to the Company stating unlegended stock certificates (or its book-entry equivalent) may be issued in respect of any Registrable Securities, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act); and enable such Registrable Securities to be registered in such names as each Participating Shareholder or the underwriter or managing underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities.

(i)

The Company shall immediately notify each Participating Shareholder holding such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly prepare and make available to each such Participating Shareholder and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment subject to any suspension rights contained herein.

(j)

The Company shall have the right to select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any underwritten Public Offering resulting from the exercise of a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown upon consultation with the Underwritten Requesting Shareholder. In connection with any Public Offering, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all other actions as are reasonably required and customary in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any such Public Offering, including the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with FINRA.

(k)

Upon execution of confidentiality agreements or other similar arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall make available during regular business hours for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement being filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 6 and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by a Participating Shareholder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such Registration Statement (including by participation in a reasonable number of diligence calls). Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement or (ii) the release of such Records is required pursuant to applicable Law or regulation or judicial process. Each Participating Shareholder agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it or its Affiliates as the basis for any market transactions in any Company Shares unless and until such information is made generally available to the public. Each Participating Shareholder further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

(l)

In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each underwriter a signed counterpart, addressed to such underwriter(s), of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent certified public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter therefor reasonably requests.

(m)

In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall have appropriate officers of the Company (i) prepare and make presentations at any “road shows” and before analysts, (ii) otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities, including, by executing customary underwriting agreements and (iii) otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the Holders in the marketing of the Registrable Securities.

(n)

The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions to ensure that any free-writing prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration, Underwritten Takedown or other offering off of a Shelf Registration Statement hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(o)

The Company shall otherwise use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement or such other document that shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

(p)

The Company may require each such Participating Shareholder promptly to furnish in writing to the Company the Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire and such other information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required or the Company may deem reasonably advisable in connection with such registration and shall not have any obligation to include a Participating Shareholder on any Registration Statement if the Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire or such other information is not promptly provided; provided, that, prior to excluding such Participating Shareholder on the basis of its failure to provide the Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire or such other information, the Company must furnish in writing a notice to such Participating Shareholder requesting the Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire and such other information at least three (3) calendar days prior to filing the applicable Registration Statement or prospectus supplement for an Underwritten Offering.

7.	Indemnification by the Company.

(a)

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Participating Shareholder holding Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, each member, trustee, limited or general partner thereof, each member, trustee, limited or general partner of each such member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, shareholders, employees, advisors and agents, each Person, if any, who controls such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each of their Representatives from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Damages”) caused by or relating to (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (x) any Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), any preliminary prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) or (y) any application or other document or communication executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the securities Laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities Laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, except in all cases insofar as such Damages are caused by or related to any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Participating Shareholder expressly for use therein or by such Participating Shareholder’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus, the issuer free writing prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Participating Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of the same.

(b)

The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Participating Shareholders provided in this Section 7 or otherwise on commercially reasonable terms negotiated on an arm’s length basis with such underwriters.

8.	Indemnification by Participating Shareholders.

Each Participating Shareholder holding Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity from the Company contained in Section 7(a)(i) and Section 7(a)(ii) to such Participating Shareholder, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by such Participating Shareholder or on such Participating Shareholder’s behalf expressly for use in any Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any preliminary prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus. Each such Participating Shareholder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 8. As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance herewith, the Company may require that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities. No Participating Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 8 for any Damages in excess of the gross proceeds realized by such Participating Shareholder in the sale of Registrable Securities of such Participating Shareholder to which such Damages relate.

9.	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

If any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7 or Section 8, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

10.

Survival.

Subject to a Holder delivering a properly completed (as solely determined by the Company), executed and acknowledged Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire to the Company, Section 7, Section 8, Section 9 and Section 11 hereto will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and will survive the transfer of securities.

11.	Contribution.

(a)

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any Damages, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages (i) as between the Company and the Participating Shareholders holding Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement on the one hand and the underwriters on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and such Participating Shareholders on the one hand and the underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and such Participating Shareholders on the one hand and of such underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, and (ii) as between the Company on the one hand and each Participating Shareholder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each Participating Shareholder in connection with such statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and Participating Shareholders on the one hand and such underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and Participating Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and Participating Shareholders on the one hand and of such underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and Participating Shareholders or by such underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Participating Shareholder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b)

The Company and the Participating Shareholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Participating Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount for Damages in excess of the gross proceeds realized by Participating Shareholder in the sale of Registrable Securities of Participating Shareholder to which such Damages relate. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Participating Shareholder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 is several in the proportion that the net proceeds of the offering received by Participating Shareholder bears to the total net proceeds of the offering received by all such Participating Shareholders and not joint.

12.	Participation in Public Offering.

(a)

No Person may participate in any Public Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (provided, that no Holder of Registrable Securities will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company include in any Registration Statement) and (ii) completes, executes and delivers or causes to be delivered all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents and instruments reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions set forth herein in respect of registration rights.

(b)

Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 6(i) above, such Person shall immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 6(i), and, if so directed by the Company, such Person shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than any permanent file copies then in such Person’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company has given any such notice, the applicable time period during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended (provided, that the Company shall not cause any Registration Statement to remain effective beyond the latest date allowed by applicable Law) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(i) to and including the date when each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6(i).

13.	Compliance with Rule 144 and Rule 144A.

(a)

The Company shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request (including making available adequate current public information with respect to the Company meeting the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c)), to the extent required to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(b)

At the request of any Holder who proposes to sell any Registrable Securities in compliance with Rule 144, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with such Holder in connection with such sale and (ii) furnish, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act, to the Company’s transfer agent an instruction letter and an opinion of counsel stating that unlegended stock certificates (or its book-entry equivalent) may be issued in respect of such Registrable Securities.

(c)	Unless the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will provide to the Holder of Registrable Securities and to any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities under Rule 144A, the information described in Rule 144A(d)(4).

14.	Selling Expenses.

All Selling Expenses relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act or sold in any Underwritten Takedown pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne and paid by the Holders of such Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or sold in any Underwritten Takedown for each such Holder.

15.	Prohibition on Requests; Holders’ Obligations.

(a)

No Holder shall, without the Company’s consent, be entitled to deliver a request for a Demand Registration, a Shelf Request or an Underwritten Takedown if less than sixty (60) calendar days have elapsed since (i) the effective date of a prior Registration Statement (which shall include the filing of a final prospectus supplement to an already effective Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Request or (ii) the date of withdrawal by the Participating Shareholders of a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown; provided, in each case, that such Holder has been provided with an opportunity to participate in the prior offering and either (x) has refused or not promptly accepted such opportunity or (y) has not been cut back to less than 50% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holder.

(b)

No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Holder has timely furnished the Company with all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request pursuant to Section 6(p). Any sale of any Registrable Securities by any Holder shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Holder that the information of such Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder, including in such Holder’s Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire (all such information, “Holder Information”), to the Company does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in such Holder Information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Furthermore, if the Company is required to file a subsequent Registration Statement upon expiration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement naming a Holder, the Company shall be under no obligation to include such Holder as a selling securityholder if such Holder does not timely deliver an updated properly completed (as solely determined by the Company), executed and acknowledged Notice, Agreement and Questionnaire and other information upon request by the Company therefore pursuant to Section 6(p).

16.	Miscellaneous.

(a)	Remedies; Specific Performance.

(i) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred by this Agreement, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(ii) The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 16(j), the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 16(g), without proof of actual damages (and each Party waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

(b)

Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (as calculated in Section 16(d)); provided that this Agreement may be amended and restated or amended without consent of the Holders solely to allow for the addition of new Holders and the granting to such new Holders rights hereunder and any additional rights after the date hereof that does not adversely affect or is not inconsistent with the existing rights and priorities of the Holders (other than by virtue of adding a Person with additional similar rights and Company Shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be given by each Holder of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 16(b), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder.

(c)

Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any Party to the others shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of delivery, if delivered personally; (ii) on the date sent, if sent by email; (iii) on the first (1^st) Business Day following the date of dispatch, if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier; or (iv) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of mailing, if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Appendix A

DEFINITION OF “BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP”

1.	A “Beneficial Owner” of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares:

(a) Voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or

(b) Investment power which includes the power to dispose, or direct the disposition of, such security.

Please note that either voting power or investment power, or both, is sufficient for you to be considered the beneficial owner of shares.

Any person who, directly or indirectly, creates or uses a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement or device with the purpose or effect of divesting such person of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership as part of a plan or scheme to evade the reporting requirements of the federal securities acts shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such security.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), a person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days, including but not limited to any right to acquire: (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right; (b) through the conversion of a security; (c) pursuant to the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement; or (d) pursuant to the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement; provided, however, any person who acquires a security or power specified in (a), (b) or (c) above, with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, immediately upon such acquisition shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities which may be acquired through the exercise or conversion of such security or power.
