3. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
3.1 Demand Registration.
(a) Form S-1 Demand. If, at any time following the date of this Agreement and after
the Company re-registers its shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) under the
Exchange Act, the Company receives a request from either Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, III (“Xxxxxx”) or Xxxxx
Investment Partners Master Fund, L.P. (“Xxxxx”) that the Company file a
3
Registration Statement on Form S-1, then the Company shall (i) within ten days after the date
such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the
Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the date
such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under
the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be
registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration
by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within 20
days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of
Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.3.
(b) Form S-3 Demand. If, at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3
Registration Statement, the Company receives a request from any Holder or Holders that the Company
file a Form S-3 Registration Statement for a public offering of all or a part of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company shall (i) within ten days after the
date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders;
and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within 45 days after the date such request is
given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 Registration Statement under the Securities Act
covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other
Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within 20 days of the date
the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 3.1(c)
and Section 3.3.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting
a registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief
executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it
would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise
would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a
significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the
Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide
business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with
requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to
defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or
effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than one hundred
twenty (120) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the
Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further,
that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other
stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period other than an Excluded Registration.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any
subsequent registration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (i) once the Company has effected two
(2) registrations pursuant to Section 3.1(a) at Xxxxxx’x request, (ii) once the Company has
effected one (1) registration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) at Xxxxx’x request, or (iii) if
the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 3.1(b).
The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to
Section 3.1(b) within the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of such request.
A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of
4
this Section 3.1(d) until such time as the applicable Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such
registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one
demand registration statement pursuant to Section 3.6, in which case such withdrawn
registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this
Section 3.1(d).
3.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this
purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its
Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities
solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly
give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within 20 days
after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder
has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate
or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3.2 before the effective
date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities
in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration
shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 3.6.
3.3 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If, pursuant to Section 3.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise
the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 3.1, and the Company shall
include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) in any registration pursuant to
Section 3.1 will be selected by the Initiating Holders 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. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 3.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, if the managing underwriter
advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number
of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such
Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as
practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other
proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the
number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not
be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To
facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the
underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s
capital stock pursuant to Section 3.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of
the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms
5
of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in
such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the
success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable
Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of
securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable
discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be
required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable
Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not
jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the
Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the
Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling
Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by
each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling
Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the
Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest
100 shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Registrable Securities
included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold
by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering. For purposes of the provision in
this Section 3.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership,
limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired
members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members
of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit
of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata
reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this
sentence.
3.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 3 to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to 120 days
or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been
completed; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of time
equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in
the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered
on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such 120-day
period shall be extended for up to 30 days, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement
effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration
Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be
necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities
covered by such Registration Statement;
6
(c) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders
may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as
shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be
required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such
states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and
except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such
offering;
(f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and
each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not
later than the effective date of such registration;
(h) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney or
accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and
cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent,
in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such
registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
(i) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the
time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus
forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed; and
(j) after such Registration Statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any
request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or prospectus.
3.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 3 with respect to the Registrable
Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.
7
3.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in
connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, including
all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel
for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 3.1 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to
be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the
number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one
registration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(b), as the case may be; provided
further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse
change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at
the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning
of such information, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall
not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or Section
3.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this
Section 3 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of
Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.
3.7 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration
statement under this Section 3:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling
Holder, and the agents, employees, partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each
such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the
Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and
the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned
Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or
defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.7(a) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the
Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or
omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on
behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person
expressly for use in connection with such registration.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has
signed the Registration Statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as
defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such Registration Statement,
and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each
case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such
selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder
will pay
8
to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which
Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 3.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall any indemnity under
this Section 3.7(b) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of
any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by
such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 3.7 of notice of
the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be
entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.7, give the indemnifying
party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate
jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified
party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the indemnifying party elects not to participate
in such action, then the indemnifying party shall promptly notify the indemnified party in writing
of that fact and the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in such action by
retaining one separate counsel, mutually satisfactory to the parties, with the fees and expenses to
be paid by the indemnifying party. The failure of the indemnified party to give notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any action covered by this
Section 3.7 shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
hereunder, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability
to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of
any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
3.7.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing indemnity
agreements of the Company and the selling Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as
they relate to any Damages arising from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in, or omission or alleged omission of a material fact from, a preliminary
prospectus (or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading) that has been corrected in
the form of prospectus included in the registration statement at the time it becomes effective, or
any amendment or supplement thereto filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities
Act (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Person
if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the indemnified party and such indemnified party
failed to deliver, at or before the confirmation of the sale of the shares registered in such
offering, a copy of the Final Prospectus to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim, or
damage in any case in which such delivery was required by the Securities Act.
(e) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act
in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification
9
hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.7 but it is
judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this
Section 3.7 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 3.7, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute
to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements,
omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as
well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or
by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such
case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering
price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such
registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event
shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 3.7(e), when combined with the amounts
paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 3.7(b), exceed the proceeds from the
offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the
case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the
underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.
(g) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with
the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
3.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration
under this Section 3, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.8 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective
holder (i) to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such
agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration
only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (ii) to demand registration of any
securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply
to any additional Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with
Section 3.9
10
3.9 Transfer. The rights of the Holders hereunder, including the right to have the

Section 3 expire upon expiration of the Registration Period.
4. Miscellaneous.
4.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without
regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the
law of the State of California.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Holder owns Registrable Securities, the
Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the
applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof, if
any, pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any such Holder of Registrable Securities,
the Company shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to
whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as any Holder owns Registrable
Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will use
reasonable best efforts to prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in
accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Holders to sell the Securities
under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder
of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Holder to sell such Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile
signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of

convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
4.5 Notices. All notices, requests, and other communications given or made pursuant
to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given, delivered and received
(i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail
or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then

4.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company
and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that any
provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent
of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated
and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the
written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all
Investors in the same fashion (it being agreed that a waiver of the provisions of Section 3
with respect to a particular transaction shall be deemed to apply to all Investors in the same
fashion if such waiver does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact that certain Investors may
nonetheless, by agreement with the Company, purchase securities in such transaction). For the sake
of clarity, the demand registration provisions referenced in Section 3.1 with respect to
Xxxxx shall not be amended, terminated or waived without the written consent of Xxxxx. The Company
shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party
hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment,
termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.6 shall be binding on all
parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto. No waivers of or
exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition,
or provision.
4.7 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement,
and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it
will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
4.8 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by
Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any
rights under this Agreement.
12
4.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto)
constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter
hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.
4.10 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or
remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party
under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or
nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach
or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded
to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
