1. Shelf Registration Right on Form S-3.
1.1 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
“register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement.
“Form S-3” means a registration statement filed under Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as such is in effect at the Effective Time, or any successor form of registration statement under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which permits inclusion or incorporation of a substantial amount of information by reference to other documents filed by Acquirer with the SEC.
“Rule 415” means Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
1.2 Form S-3 Shelf Registration.
1
until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Stockholders shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities and (ii) the first anniversary of the Effective Time (such period of time being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Period”). If the Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effective Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder or as permitted by Section 1.3 hereof), Acquirer shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof.
2
sale, transfer or other disposition of Stockholder’s Restricted Securities in violation of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 1.2(d) “hedging or other transactions” shall include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Restricted Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Restricted Securities. Also for purposes of this Section 1.2(d), “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more distant than first cousin (or first cousin of spouse).
1.3 Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.2 above, no Stockholder shall be entitled to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement filed under Section 1.2 of this Agreement, under the following circumstances:
(a) if Form S-3 is not then available for such offering by the Stockholders;
(b) if Acquirer is acquired and the Common Stock ceases to be publicly traded;
(c) in any particular jurisdiction in which Acquirer would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless Acquirer is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction; or
(d) if the SEC refuses to declare such registration (or any amendment) effective due to the participation of any particular Stockholder in such registration (unless such Stockholder withdraws all such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities from such registration statement); or if the manner in which any Registrable Securities are disposed of pursuant to the Registration Statement is not included within the plan of distribution set forth in the Prospectus.
1.4 Private Transfers. Each Stockholder agrees that except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 1, any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Registrable Securities may only be effected if (a) in the opinion of counsel to Acquirer, reasonably held, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Stockholder may be sold in a three-month period without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise; (b) Acquirer or its legal counsel shall have received a “no-action” letter or similar written confirmation from the SEC that all the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Stockholder may be sold in a three-month period without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise; (c) only one broker/dealer is used to effect any such sales at any one time; and (d) such sale, transfer or other disposition does not result, to the knowledge of each Stockholder (after reasonable inquiry), in any single person or group owning 5% or more of Acquirer’s then outstanding Common Stock.
1.5 Termination of Acquirer’s Obligations. Acquirer shall have no obligations pursuant to Section 1.2 or other request or requests for registration (or inclusion in a registration) made by any Stockholder nor shall Acquirer have any obligation to maintain or
3
continue to keep effective any registration or registration statement pursuant thereto: (a) after the expiration or termination of the Effective Period; (b) with respect to a particular Stockholder if, Acquirer or its counsel has received a “no-action” letter described in Section 1.4(b) or the opinion of counsel submitted to Acquirer pursuant to Section 1.4(a) is acceptable; or (c) if all Registrable Securities have been registered and sold pursuant to a registration(s) effected pursuant to this Agreement and/or have been transferred in transactions in which registration rights hereunder have not been assigned in accordance with this Agreement.
1.6 Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, including without limitation all printers’ and accounting fees, SEC filing fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Acquirer, shall be borne by Acquirer. Each Stockholder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 1 shall bear such Stockholder’s proportionate share (based on the number of Registrable Securities sold by such Stockholder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it goes effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering, the fees and disbursements of any counsel for the participating Stockholders and any transfer taxes relating to the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Registrable Securities.
1.7 Registration Obligations of Acquirer. Subject to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 above, when required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the terms of this Agreement, Acquirer shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) furnish to each Stockholder and each underwriter such number of conformed copies of the Prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and amendments or supplements thereto, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as each Stockholder (or underwriter) may reasonably request;
(b) notify each Stockholder promptly and, if requested by such Stockholder, confirm such notification in writing promptly (i) when a registration statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of any request made by the SEC or any state securities authority for post-effective amendments and supplements to a registration statement that has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by Acquirer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (v) of any determination by Acquirer that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate;
(c) use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Securities by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Stockholders shall reasonably request in writing, to keep each such registration and qualification effective during the Effective Period; provided, however, that Acquirer will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (c), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, except as may be required by the Securities Act;
4
(d) promptly notify each Stockholder covered by such Registration Statement when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the request of any Stockholder, prepare and furnish to each Stockholder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of the prospectus as may be necessary to correct the untrue statement or omission;
(e) use reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market and each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Acquirer are then listed;
(f) upon the request of any Stockholder, promptly provide the name, address and other contact information regarding Acquirer’s transfer agent for the Registrable Securities and the CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities;
(g) if the lead managing underwriter of a registration pursuant to this Section I advises Acquirer that, in its judgment, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten public offering should be limited due to market conditions, then Acquirer will promptly so advise each participating Stockholder; and Acquirer and each participating Stockholder will include in such offering the number of shares which, in the opinion of the lead managing underwriter can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Amount”). The Maximum Offering Amount shall be allocated first, to the Stockholders to the full extent of shares of Shares such Stockholder desires to sell, and second, if any shares of Common Stock remain under the Maximum Offering Amount, to each other participating holder in proportion to each request for inclusion made by each such participating holder. If the underwriting agreement executed in connection with such offering provides for an overallotment option to be granted to the underwriters, and if such option is exercised by the underwriters, the allocation priority established by the previous sentence shall govern the allocation with respect to the sale of any shares of Common Stock and Registrable Securities pursuant to such exercise by the underwriters.
(h) Enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Stockholder participating in such underwriting hereby agrees to also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(i) Participate in customary road show meetings reasonably requested (and reasonable in scope in light of the size of the offering) upon reasonable prior notice by the lead managing underwriter of such offering.

1.8 Stockholder Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Acquirer to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the selling Stockholders will furnish to Acquirer such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition and plan of distribution of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
1.9 Delay of Registration. No Stockholder will have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration that is the subject of this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, 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 Acquirer of the Securities Act, the 1934 Act, any U.S. federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any U.S. federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and Acquirer will reimburse such Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Acquirer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall Acquirer be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Stockholder expressly for use in connection with such registration.

Any
8
attempt to assign any rights of a Stockholder under this Agreement without Acquirer’s express prior written consent in a situation in which such consent is required by this Section shall be null and void and without effect.

(ii) the definition of “Registrable Securities” in the Original Agreement shall be amended to include the Shares for purposes of all sections other than Section 7 (Demand or Form S-3 Registration) of the Original Agreement (subject to the restrictions described in paragraph (a)(ii) above).
