REGISTRATION
RIGHTS
2.1 Piggyback Registration.
2.1.1
Subject to the terms hereof if at any time or from time to time the Company
proposes to register any of its equity securities (except for registration
statements on Forms S-8 or S-4 or otherwise relating to employee benefit plans),
either for its own account or the account of a security holder or the holders of
the Registrable Securities, the Company will promptly give to the holders of the
Registrable Securities written notice thereof no less than 20 days prior to the
filing of such registration statement; and include in such registration (and any
related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in the
underwriting involved therein, if any, such Registrable Securities as the
holders of Registrable Securities may request in a writing delivered to the
Company within 10 days after such holder's receipt of Company's written
notice.
2.1.2 The
holders of the Registrable Securities may participate in any number of
registrations until all of the Registrable Securities held by such holder have
been distributed pursuant to a registration.
2.1.3 lf
any registration statement registers an offering that is an Underwritten Public
Offering, the right of the holders of Registrable Securities to registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such holders'
participation in such reasonable underwriting arrangements as the Company shall
make regarding the offering, and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the
underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. The holders of the
Registrable Securities and all other shareholders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the
other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter
selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.2, if the managing underwriter concludes in its
reasonable judgment that the number of shares to be registered for selling
shareholders (including the holders of the Registrable Securities) would
materially adversely affect such offering, the number of Shares to be
registered, together with the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities held by other shareholders proposed to be registered in such
offering, shall be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the number of Shares
proposed to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities as compared to the
number of shares proposed to be sold by all stockholders. If the holders of
Registrable Securities disapprove of the terms of any such underwriting, it may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing
underwriter, delivered not less than ten days before the effective date. The
Registrable Securities excluded by the managing underwriter or withdrawn from
such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be
transferred in a public distribution prior to 120 days after the effective date
of the registration statement relating thereto, or such other
shorter
period of time as the underwriters may require.
2.1.4 The
Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated
by it under this Section prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether
or not the holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include securities
in such registration.
2.2 Expenses of Registration.
All
Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise stated
herein, all Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the
holders of Registrable Securities shall be borne by such holders.
2.3 Best Registration Rights.
If on or
after the date of this Registration Rights Agreement, the Company grants to any
person with respect to any security issued by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries registration rights that provide for terms that are in any manner
more favorable to the holder of such registration rights than the terms granted
to the holders of Registrable Securities (or if the Company amends or waives any
provision of any Agreement providing registration rights of others or takes any
other action whatsoever to provide for terms that are more favorable to other
holders than the terms provided to the holders of Registrable Securities) then
this Registration Rights Agreement shall immediately be deemed amended to
provide the holders of Registrable Securities with any (or all) of such more
favorable terms as such holders shall elect to include herein.
2.4 Registration Procedures.

case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company

the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall prepare

2.6.1 To
the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the holder of

each person controlling such holder of Registrable Securities within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and
each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of
the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened,
to the extent such expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities arise out of
or are based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other similar document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any
such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each holder of
Registrable Securities, each of its officers and directors and partners, and
each person controlling such holder, each such underwriter and each person who
controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the indemnity
contained herein shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim,
loss, damage, liability or expense if settlement is effected without the consent
of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), provided,
further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by each holder of Registrable Securities, such controlling person or
such underwriter specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
insofar as the foregoing indemnity relates to any such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) made in the
preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on
file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes
effective or in the final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to the
applicable rules of the Commission or in any supplement or addendum thereto, the
indemnity agreement herein shall not inure to the benefit of any underwriter if
a copy of the final prospectus filed pursuant to such rules, together with all
supplements and addenda thereto, was not furnished to the person or entity
asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such
furnishing is required by the Securities Act.
2.6.2 To
the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities will, if
securities held by the such holder are included in the securities as to which
such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to
terms hereof, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each
underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration
statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other person selling the
Company’s securities covered by such registration statement, each of such
person's officers and directors and each person controlling such persons within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses,
damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other document, or 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 any violation by each holder of the Registrable
Securities of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to such holder and relating to action or inaction required of the
holders of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance, and will reimburse the Company, such other persons,
such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder
specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity contained
herein shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense if settlement is effected without the consent of such
holder of Registrable Securities (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of such holder of the
Registrable Securities under this subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount
equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by such holder of
Registrable Securities, unless such liability arises out of or is based on
willful conduct by such holder. In addition, insofar as the foregoing indemnity
relates to any such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission
(or alleged omission) made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or
remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the
registration statement becomes effective or in the final prospectus filed
pursuant to applicable rules of the Commission or in any supplement or addendum
thereto, the indemnity agreement herein shall not inure to the benefit of the
Company or any underwriter if a copy of the final prospectus filed pursuant to
such rules, together with all supplements and addenda thereto, was not furnished
to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or
prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities
Act.
2.6.3
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, each party
entitled to indemnification under this Section (the "Indemnified Party") shall
give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying
Party") promptly after such indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim
as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to
assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
provided that counsel for the indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense
of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the indemnified Party (whose
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may
participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further that
the failure of any indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless
the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an indemnifying
Party's ability to defend such action and provided further, that the
indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is
a conflict of interest or as to which the indemnifying Party is asserting
separate or different defenses, which defenses are inconsistent with the
defenses of the indemnified Party. No indemnifying Party, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified
Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does
not include as an unconditional tern thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation. No indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of each indemnifying
Party.
2.6.4 If
the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable to an
indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then each 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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and all shareholders offering securities in the
offering (the "Selling Security Holders") on the other from the offering of the
Company's securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Selling Security Holders
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Selling Security Holders on the other shall be the net proceeds
from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company on the one
hand and the Selling Security Holders on the other. The relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and the Selling Security Holders on the other shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Selling
Security Holders and the parties' relevant intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Selling Security Holders agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were based solely upon the
number of entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method
of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above in this Section. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to
above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim, subject to the provisions hereof
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Selling Security Holder shall
be required to contribute any amount or make any other payments under this
Agreement which in the aggregate exceed the proceeds received by such Selling
Security Holder. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.7 Certain Information.
2.7.1 The
holders of the Registrable Securities agree, with respect to any Registrable
Securities included in any registration, to furnish to the Company such
information regarding such holder, the Registrable Securities and the
distribution proposed by such holder as the Company may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to herein.
2.7.2 The
failure of the holders of the Registrable Securities to furnish the information
requested pursuant to this Section shall not affect the obligation of the
Company to any other selling security holders who furnish such information
unless, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company or the underwriters,
such failure impairs or may impair the legality of the Registration Statement or
the underlying offering.
2.8 Rule 144 Reporting.
With a
view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the
Commission which may at any time permit the sale of Restricted Securities (used
herein as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the public without

defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), to furnish to such
holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its
compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 and with regard to
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at all times during which the Company
is subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the
Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by
the Company as such holder of the Registrable Securities may reasonably request
in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such
holder to sell any such securities without registration.
