2.2 Joining Holders. If at any time the Company proposes to register Registrable Securities for the account of the Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, then (i) the Company shall give, or cause to be given, written notice of such proposed filing to all the Holders of such class or series of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date). Upon the written request of any Holder, received by the Company no later than the 10th Business Day after receipt by such Holder of the notice sent by the Company (each such Holder, a “Joining Holder”), to register, on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such Demand Registration, any of its Registrable Securities of the same class or series as the securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such Demand Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement proposed to be filed by the Company on the same terms and conditions as any securities of the same class or series included therein. All such requests by Joining Holders shall specify the aggregate amount and class or series of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution of the same.

2.3 Effective Registration. A registration shall not count as a Demand Registration under this Agreement (i) unless the related Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act and has remained effective until such time as all of such Registrable Securities covered thereby have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Participating Holders (but in no event for a period of more than 180 days after such Registration Statement becomes effective not including any Suspension Period) and if, after it has become effective, an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement is not terminated by any stop order, injunction, or other order of the Commission or other governmental agency or court, or (ii) if pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, the Requesting Holders and Joining Holders are cut back to fewer than 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered and at the time of the request there was not in effect a Shelf Registration Statement.

2.4 Underwritten Offerings. If the Majority Participating Holders who are included in any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration so elect, such offering shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. With respect to any such Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Company shall select an investment banking firm of national standing to be the managing underwriter for the offering, which firm shall be reasonably acceptable to the Majority Participating Holders.

2.5 Priority on Demand Registrations. With respect to any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration, no securities to be sold for the account of any Person (including the Company) other than the Requesting Holders and Joining Holders shall be included in a Demand Registration unless the managing underwriter advises the Requesting Holders in writing (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the Majority Participating Holders determine) that the inclusion of such securities shall not adversely affect the price or success of the offering (an “Adverse Effect”) and the Majority Holder making such Demand Request reasonably agrees. Furthermore, in the event that the managing underwriter advises the Requesting Holders in writing (or the Majority Participating Holders determine) that the amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Demand Registration by Requesting Holders and Joining Holders is sufficiently large (even after exclusion of all securities of any other Person pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) to cause an Adverse Effect, the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated among all such Requesting Holders and Joining Holders pro rata for each Holder based on the percentage derived by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Securities that each such Holder requested to be included in such Demand Registration by (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all Requesting Holders and Joining Holders requested to be included in such Demand Registration; provided, however, that if, as a result of such proration, any Requesting Holder or Joining Holder shall not be entitled to include in a registration all Registrable Securities of the class or series that such Holder had requested to be included, such Holder may elect to withdraw its request to include such Registrable Securities in such registration or may reduce the number requested to be included; provided, however, that (a) such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement, if any, or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration, if any, and (b) such withdrawal or reduction shall be irrevocable.

2.6 Withdrawal and Cancellation of Registration. Any Participating Holder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time and any Majority Participating Holders shall have the right to cancel a proposed Demand Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article II in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof when the request for cancellation is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known to the Participating Holders at the time of the Demand Request. Upon such cancellation, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration and such Demand Registration shall not be counted as a Demand Registration under this Agreement for any purpose; provided, however that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the expenses of the Participating Holders incurred in connection with such cancelled registration through the date that is seven days after the time such information became known to the Participating Holders, to the extent such expenses are as described in clauses (i) through (x) of the first sentence of Article VIII hereof.

2.7 Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Article II shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (i) as shall be selected by the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of each class or series of Registrable Securities requesting participation in the Demand Registration and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the applicable Holders’ requests for such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, pursuant to a Demand Registration, (x) the Company proposes to effect registration by filing a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short-form registration statement), (y) such registration is in connection with an Underwritten Offering and (z) the managing underwriter or underwriters shall advise the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the use of another form of registration statement (or the inclusion, rather than the incorporation by reference, of information in the Prospectus related to a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other short-form registration statement)) is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering, then such registration shall be effected on such other form (or such information shall be so included in such Prospectus).

ARTICLE III

PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

3.1 Holder Piggyback Registration. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to an offering of its securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any successor form or on Form S-8 or any successor form relating solely to securities issued pursuant to any benefit plan) on a form that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders not less than 21 days before the anticipated filing date, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration (including the number and class or series of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement, any proposed means of distribution of such securities, any proposed managing underwriter of such securities and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed maximum offering price of such securities as such price is proposed to appear on the facing page of such Registration Statement), and offering such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those being registered by the Company as each such Holder may request in writing (each a “Piggyback Registration”). Upon the written request of any Holder, received by the Company no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Holder of the notice sent by the Company, to register, on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such registration, any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those being registered (which request shall state the intended method of disposition thereof if the securities otherwise being sold are being sold by more than one method of disposition), the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the Registration Statement proposed to be filed by the Company on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such registration; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any other Holder, delay or abandon the proposed offering in which any Holder had requested to participate pursuant to this Section 3.1 or cease the filing (or obtaining or maintaining the effectiveness) of or withdraw the related Registration Statement or other governmental approvals, registrations or qualifications. In such event, the Company shall so notify each Holder that had notified the Company in accordance with this Section 3.1 of its intention to participate in such offering and the Company shall incur no liability for its failure to complete any such offering.

3.2 Priority on Piggyback Registrations.

(a) If the managing underwriter or underwriters for the related Piggyback Registration Underwritten Offering (or in the case of a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten, the Company, in good faith) advises the Holders in writing that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would cause an Adverse Effect, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only that number of Registrable Securities which, in the judgment of the managing underwriter (or the Company in good faith, as applicable), would not have an Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for the benefit of the requesting Holders to less than:

(i) in the case of Loral Common Stock, Loral Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock, Loral Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, Loral Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Loral Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Loral Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Loral Series B-2 Preferred Stock (A) any time that the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement is not effective or the Holders may not otherwise utilize the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement for the offering and sale of their Registrable Loral Common Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Registrable Loral Series B-2 Preferred Stock, all of the shares of Registrable Loral Common Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Registrable Loral Series B-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, requested by the Holders to be included in such Registration Statement (but up to the maximum amount of the securities to be sold in the related Underwritten Offering), and (B) any time that the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement is effective and the Holders may utilize the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement for the offering and sale of their Registrable Loral Common Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Registrable Loral Series B-2 Preferred Stock, fifty percent (50%) of the total number of securities that are included in each such Registration Statement thereafter;

(ii) in the case of Skynet Preferred Stock (A) any time that the Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Registration Statement is not effective or the Holders may not otherwise utilize the Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Registration Statement for the offering and sale of their Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock, all of the shares of Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock requested by the Holders to be included in such Registration Statement (but up to the maximum amount of the securities to be sold in the related Underwritten Offering), and (B) any time that the Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Registration Statement is effective and the Holders may utilize the Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Registration Statement for the offering and sale of their Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock, fifty percent (50%) of the total number of securities that are included in each such Registration Statement thereafter, and

(iii) in the case of Skynet Notes (A) any time that the Skynet Notes Shelf Registration Statement is not effective or the Holders may not otherwise utilize the Skynet Notes Shelf Registration Statement for the offering and sale of their Registrable Skynet Notes, all of the principal amount of Registrable Skynet Notes requested by the Holders to be included in such Registration Statement (but up to the maximum amount of the securities to be sold in the related Underwritten Offering), and (B) any time that the Skynet Notes Shelf Registration Statement is effective and the Holders may utilize the Skynet Notes Shelf Registration Statement for the offering and sale of their Registrable Skynet Notes, fifty percent (50%) of the total number of securities that are included in each such Registration Statement thereafter.

(iv) Any partial reduction in the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be affected by allocating the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, among all the Holders requesting to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, pro rata based for each Holder on the percentage derived by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Securities that each such Holder requested to be included in such Registration Statement by (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all Holders requested to be included in such Registration Statement; provided, however, that if, as a result of such proration, any Holder requesting to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall not be entitled to include in a registration all Registrable Securities of the class or series that such Holder had requested to be included, such Holder may elect to withdraw its request to include such Registrable Securities in such registration or may reduce the number requested to be included in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.

(b) In the case of Loral Common Stock only, subject to Loral’s compliance with its obligations under this Article III, if prior to the filing or effectiveness of the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement, Loral initiates a proposal to register an Underwritten Offering of securities for its own account pursuant to this Article III and the Holders shall be afforded the right (whether or not exercised by the Holders) to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Article III, then the proposed registration for the account of Loral pursuant to this Article III shall be given priority in all respects.

3.3 Withdrawals. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of all or any of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Article III by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however, that (i) such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable.

3.4 Underwritten Offerings.

(a) In connection with the exercise of any registration rights granted to Holders pursuant to this Article III, if the registration is to be effected by means of an Underwritten Offering, the Company may condition participation in such registration by any such Holder upon inclusion of the Registrable Securities being so registered in such underwriting and such Holder’s entering into an underwriting agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(d) hereof.

(b) With respect to any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article III in the form of an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall select an investment banking firm of national standing to be the managing underwriter for the offering.

Loral shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Auditor Consent as promptly as practicable after the earlier of receipt of the written request pursuant to clause (i) or the determination of the Board of Directors pursuant to clause (ii).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Loral’s compliance with its obligations under Article III hereof, Loral shall not be obligated to take any action to effect the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto during the following periods commencing:

(i) with Loral’s issuance of a notice to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof of a proposed registration of an Underwritten Offering of equity securities of Loral for its own account (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any successor form or on Form S-8 or any successor form relating solely to securities issued pursuant to any benefit plan), continuing while Loral uses reasonable efforts to pursue such registered Underwritten Offering, and ending upon the earliest to occur of: (A) forty five (45) days immediately following Loral’s issuance of the notice of such proposed registered Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, unless, within such 45-day period, Loral shall have (x) filed the Registration Statement for such proposed Underwritten Offering, or (y) issued a press release disclosing such proposed Underwritten Offering pursuant to Rule 135 (or its successor) promulgated under the Securities Act thereby enabling the Holders to sell their Registrable Loral Common Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-1 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Class B-2 Non-Voting Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Registrable Loral Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Registrable Loral Series B-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement; (B) the abandonment, cessation or withdrawal of such proposed registered Underwritten Offering; or (C) 90 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement pertaining to such Underwritten Offering; and

If Loral issues a notice of a proposed Underwritten Offering of equity securities of Loral for its own account pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and subsequently abandons, ceases or withdraws such offering, Loral shall not issue a notice of a subsequent proposed registration of an Underwritten Offering of equity securities of Loral for its own account pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof until the Loral Universal Shelf Registration Statement is first declared effective.

(b) Skynet. Subject to the provisions contained in this Section 4.1(b) and in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, any Major Holder may, from time to time, request in writing (each a “Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Request,” or a “Skynet Notes Shelf Request,” as applicable) that Skynet file with the Commission a Registration Statement (the “Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Registration Statement,” or the “Skynet Notes Shelf Registration Statement,” as applicable) relating to the offer and sale of all of the shares of Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock or all of the Registrable Skynet Notes, as applicable, by the Holders to the public, from time to time, on a delayed or continuous basis; provided, however, that Skynet shall in no event be required to effect more than one (1) Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Registration Statement and more than one (1) Skynet Notes Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to the provisions contained in this Section 4.1(b) and in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, upon receipt of a Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Request or a Skynet Notes Shelf Request, as applicable, Skynet shall cause such applicable Shelf Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission by the Required Filing Date.

Such Shelf Registration Statement shall specify the intended method of distribution of the subject Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock or Registrable Skynet Notes, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Skynet shall file the applicable Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or, if Skynet or the offering of the Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock or the Registrable Skynet Notes, as applicable, does not satisfy the requirements for use of such form, such other form as may be appropriate; provided, however, that if such Shelf Registration Statement is not filed on Form X-0, Xxxxxx shall, promptly upon meeting the requirements for use of such form, file an appropriate amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to convert it to Form S-3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Skynet’s compliance with its obligations under Article III hereof, Skynet shall not be obligated to take any action to effect the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto during the following periods commencing:

(i) with Skynet’s issuance of a notice to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof of a proposed registration of an Underwritten Offering of equity securities or debt securities, as applicable, of Skynet for its own account (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any successor form or on Form S-8 or any successor form relating solely to securities issued pursuant to any benefit plan), continuing while Skynet uses reasonable efforts to pursue such registered Underwritten Offering, and ending upon the earliest to occur of: (A) forty five (45) days immediately following Skynet’s issuance of the notice of such proposed registered Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, unless, within such 45-day period, Skynet shall have (x) filed the Registration Statement for such proposed Underwritten Offering, or (y) issued a press release disclosing such proposed Underwritten Offering pursuant to Rule 135 (or its successor) promulgated under the Securities Act thereby enabling the Holders to sell their Registrable Skynet Preferred Stock or Registrable Skynet Notes, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement; (B) the abandonment, cessation or withdrawal of such proposed registered Underwritten Offering; or (C) 90 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement pertaining to such Underwritten Offering; and

If, following the receipt of a Skynet Preferred Stock Shelf Request or Skynet Notes Shelf Request, as applicable, Skynet issues a notice of a proposed Underwritten Offering of equity securities or debt securities, as applicable, of Skynet for its own account pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and subsequently abandons, ceases or withdraws such offering, Skynet shall not issue a notice of a subsequent proposed registration of an Underwritten Offering of equity securities or debt securities, as applicable, of Skynet for its own account pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof until the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is first declared effective. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall not be counted as Skynet Preferred Stock Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1(h) hereof or as Skynet Notes Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1(i) hereof, as applicable.

4.2 Required Period and Shelf Registration Procedures. The Company shall (i) cause each Shelf Registration Statement to include a resale Prospectus intended to permit each Holder to sell, at such Holder’s election, all or part of the applicable class or series of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without restriction, (ii) use its reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such supplements, amendments and post-effective amendments to such Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective (subject to Section 3.2(b) hereof and to any Suspension Period(s) referred to below) for so long as the securities registered thereunder constitute Registrable Securities (the “Required Period”), and (iii) use its reasonable efforts to cause the resale Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to Section 3.2(b) hereof and to any Suspension Period(s) referred to below) and permit such Prospectus to be usable by the Holders during the Required Period.

ARTICLE V

STANDSTILL AND SUSPENSION PERIODS

5.1 Company Standstill Period. In the event of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company agrees not to, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter and the Majority Participating Holders, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities that are the same as, or similar to, such Registrable Securities, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any securities of the Company that are the same as, or similar to, such Registrable Securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any successor form, or otherwise in connection with the acquisition of a business or assets of a business, a merger, or an exchange offer for the securities of the issuer or another entity, or pursuant to a Company dividend reinvestment plan, or for issuances of securities pursuant to the conversion, exchange or exercise of then-outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities, options, rights or warrants, or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form or otherwise relating solely to securities offered pursuant to any benefit plan), during the period commencing 14 days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities (to the extent timely notified in writing by the Majority Participating Holders or the managing underwriter of such distribution) and ending on the 90th day after such effective date (the “Company Standstill Period”).

5.2 Suspension Period. The Company may, by notice in writing to each Holder, postpone the filing or effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration requested pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise suspend the Demand Registration rights of the Holders and/or require the Holders to suspend use of any resale Prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement for any period of time reasonably determined by the Company if there shall occur a Material Disclosure Event (such period, a “Suspension Period”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Loral nor Skynet shall be entitled to more than an aggregate of four (4) Suspension Periods each, with respect to all Registrable Securities issued by either of them, as applicable, which Suspension Periods shall have durations of not more than thirty (30) days each (but may at the Company’s reasonable determination run consecutively for a given Material Disclosure Event), during any consecutive 12 month period, and which Suspension Periods shall not exceed more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any consecutive 12-month period; provided, however, that if the Company deems in good faith that it is necessary to file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement in order to comply with Section 4 hereof, then such period of time from the date of filing such post-effective amendment until the date on which the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act shall not be treated as a Suspension Period and the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as promptly as possible. Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Material Disclosure Event (a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or any public sale or distribution, including pursuant to Rule 144, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Suspension Period and (ii) such Holder’s receipt of a notice from the Company to the effect that such suspension has terminated. Any Suspension Notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President or any Vice President of the Company confirming the existence of the Material Disclosure Event. If so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such Suspension Notice. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not deliver a Suspension Notice with respect to a Suspension Period unless Company employees, officers and directors are also prohibited by the Company for the duration of such Suspension Period from effecting any public sales of securities of the Company beneficially owned by them. In the event of a Suspension Notice, the Company shall, promptly after such time as the related Material Disclosure Event no longer exists, provide notice to all Holders that the Suspension Period has ended, and take any and all actions necessary or desirable to give effect to any Holders’ rights under this Agreement that may have been affected by such notice, including the Holders’ Demand Registration rights and rights with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement.

5.3 Holder Standstill Period. Each Holder of Registrable Securities (whether or not such Registrable Securities are covered by a Shelf Registration Statement or by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 or 3.1 hereof) agrees to enter into a customary lock-up agreement with the managing underwriter for any Underwritten Offering of the Company’s securities for its own account with respect to the same class or series of securities being registered pursuant to such Registration Statement, containing terms reasonably acceptable to such managing underwriter, covering the period commencing 15 days prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement relating to such securities of the Company and ending on the 90th day after such effective date (or such shorter period as shall have been agreed to by the Company’s executive officers and directors in their respective lock-up agreements); provided, however, that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 5.3 shall apply only if: (i) such Holder shall be afforded the right (whether or not exercised by the Holder) to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof; (ii) each of the Company’s executive officers and directors enter into lock-up agreements with such managing underwriter, which agreements shall not contain terms more favorable to such executive officers or directors than those contained in the lock-up agreement entered into by such Holder; and (iii) the aggregate restriction periods in such Holder’s lock-up agreements entered into pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not exceed an aggregate of 180 days during any 365-day period.

(k) make available for inspection by each Participating Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Participating Holder or any such underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration, provided, however, that (i) in connection with any such inspection, any such Inspectors shall cooperate to the extent reasonably practicable to minimize any disruption to the operation by the Company of its business and shall comply with all Company site safety rules, (ii) Records and information obtained hereunder shall be used by such Inspectors only to exercise their due diligence responsibility and (iii) Records or information furnished or made available hereunder shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by such Participating Holder, underwriter or Inspectors unless (A) the disclosing party advises the other party that the disclosure of such Records or information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or is otherwise required by law, (B) the release of such Records or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction (provided, however, that such Person shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Company with prior written notice of such requirement to afford the Company with an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy in response) or (C) such Records or information otherwise become generally available to the public other than through disclosure by such Participating Holder, underwriter or Inspector in breach hereof or by any Person in breach of any other confidentiality arrangement;

(l) in connection with any registration of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, use all reasonable efforts to furnish to each Participating Holder and to the managing underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Participating Holder and the managing underwriter, if any, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72 (or any successor thereto), each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as each such Participating Holder and the managing underwriter, if any, reasonably requests;

(p) cooperate with the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter, underwriters or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends;

(q) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and

(r) not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities and provide the applicable transfer agent with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities which certificates shall be in a form eligible for deposit with DTC (provided that such Registrable Securities are so eligible for deposit with DTC and, if not so eligible, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be so eligible for deposit with DTC).

6.2 Holder Obligations. Each Holder agrees:

(a) that it shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the plan and method of distribution of Registrable Securities intended by such Holder (i) as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing and (ii) as shall be required by law or by the Commission in connection therewith;

(b) that information obtained by it or by its Inspectors shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or its Affiliates unless and until such information is made generally available to the public;

(c) to use its reasonable efforts, prior to making any disclosure allowed by Section 6.1(k)(iii)(A) or (B) hereof, to inform the Company that such disclosure is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by law; and

For as long as any Major Holder of any class or series of Registrable Securities holds at least 50% of such class or series of Registrable Securities issued to such Major Holder on the effective date of the Plan, the Company shall not grant any Person any registration rights other than registration rights that are no more favorable than those being granted hereunder and that shall not be in conflict with, inconsistent with, or otherwise adverse to or lessen the rights of the Holders hereunder in any respect, including, without limitation, priority of registration or ability to transfer or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless to the full extent permitted by law (i) each Holder, such Holder’s Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, stockholders, employees, advisors, agents and other representatives of the foregoing, and each of their respective successors and assigns, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing, within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (ii) any selling agent selected by the Holders or their affiliates with respect to such Registrable Securities (each such Person being sometimes referred to as an “Indemnified Person”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigations and legal expenses), joint or several (each a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”), to which such Indemnified Person may become subject, to the extent that such Losses (or related actions or proceedings) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement in which such Registrable Securities were included for registration under the Securities Act, including any preliminary or summary Prospectus or any final Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus) or any document incorporated by reference therein or (B) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, (in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and the Company agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any indemnification or reimbursement hereunder (i) to the extent that any such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder, or on the Holder’s behalf, specifically for inclusion, respectively, in such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement, or (ii) in the case of a sale directly by a Holder of Registrable Securities (including a sale of such Registrable Securities through any underwriter retained by such Holder engaging in a distribution solely on behalf of such Holder), to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary Prospectus and corrected in a final, amended or supplemented Prospectus provided to such Holder prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such Loss, and such Holder failed to deliver a copy of the final, amended or supplemented Prospectus at or prior to such confirmation of sale in any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act, or (iii) in the case of a sale directly by a Holder of Registrable Securities (including a sale of such Registrable Securities through any underwriter retained by such Holder engaging in a distribution solely on behalf of such Holder), to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in a final Prospectus but was corrected in an amended or supplemented final Prospectus provided to such Holder prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such Loss, and such Holder failed to deliver a copy of the amended or supplemented final Prospectus at or prior to such confirmation of sale in any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act. The indemnity provided in this Section 7.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer or disposal of the Registrable Securities by the Holder or any such other Persons. The Company will also indemnify, if applicable and if requested, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in any distribution pursuant hereto, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Persons. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

7.2 Indemnification by the Holders. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 7.1 hereof) the Company, each director and officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (each such Person being sometimes referred to as a “Company Indemnified Person”), against Losses to which the Company or any such Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent that such Losses (or related actions or proceedings) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement in which Registrable Securities were included for registration under the Securities Act, or any preliminary Prospectus or any final Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus), or (B) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, (in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case, only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, or on such Holder’s behalf, specifically for inclusion, respectively, in such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement; and each Holder agrees to reimburse such Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that a Holder’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriter’s discount and expenses) received by such Holder from the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration.

7.3 Notice of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof (an “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (an “Action”) involving a claim referred to in such Sections, such Indemnitee shall, if indemnification is sought against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such Action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give said notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure. In case an Action is brought against any Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, each indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it elects to do so by written notice delivered to the Indemnitee promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by such Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such Action, reasonably promptly after notice of the commencement thereof or (iii) such Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party which, if the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee were to be represented by the same counsel, could result in a conflict of interest for such counsel or materially prejudice the prosecution of the defenses available to such Indemnitee. If any of the events specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence shall have occurred or otherwise shall be applicable, then the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be borne by the indemnifying party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding, or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all Indemnitees hereunder, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Anything in this Section 7.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for the settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), but if settled with the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, or if there shall be a final judgment adverse to the Indemnitee, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise, with respect to any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which the Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual party to such action or claim), which (i) does not include as a term thereof the unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such action or claim or (ii) includes an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee.

7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Losses in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the Indemnitee, on the other hand, which relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnitee or indemnifying party, and such parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or mitigate the damage in respect of or prevent the untrue statement or omission giving rise to such indemnification obligation; provided, however, that a Holder’s aggregate liability under this Section 7.4 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriter’s discount but before deducting expenses) received by such Holder from the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which did not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. 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 is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.5 Indemnification Payments; Other Remedies.

(a) Periodic payments of amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Article VII shall be made during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when reasonably itemized bills therefor are delivered to the indemnifying party in respect of any particular Loss as incurred.

(b) The remedies provided in this Article VII are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to an Indemnitee at law or in equity.

ARTICLE VIII

REGISTRATION EXPENSES.

In connection with any offerings pursuant to a Registration Statement hereunder, the Company shall pay (i) all registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with “blue sky” laws qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) printing and duplicating expenses, (iv) internal expenses of the Company (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses of independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent certified public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters or with any required special audits), (vi) the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company, (vii) fees and expenses in connection with any review of underwriting arrangements by the NASD, including fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with an Underwritten Offering, (viii) reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for the Participating Holders (as a group), (ix) fees and expenses in connection with listing, if applicable, the Registrable Securities on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, and (x) all duplicating, distribution and delivery expenses. In connection any offerings pursuant to a Registration Statement, each Participating Holder shall pay (i) any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities by such Participating Holder in connection with an Underwritten Offering; (ii) any out-of-pocket expenses of such Participating Holder including any fees and expenses of counsel to such Participating Holder (other than as set forth in clause (viii) of the immediately preceding sentence); and (iii) any applicable transfer taxes.

ARTICLE IX

RULE 144

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, (i) Loral covenants that, from and after the time that and for so long as it is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act thereafter, and (ii) Skynet covenants that, from and after the time that and for so long as it is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall use its reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, and that it shall comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c), as such Rule may be amended from time to time (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission), regarding the availability of current public information to the extent required to enable any Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the resale provisions of Rule 144 (or any similar rule or regulation). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall promptly deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, upon such Holder’s compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 144 and its delivery of such documents and certificates as the Company’s transfer agent may reasonably request in connection therewith, shall take such reasonable action as may be required (including using its reasonable efforts to cause legal counsel to issue an appropriate opinion) to cause its transfer agent to effectuate any transfer of Registrable Securities properly requested by such Holder, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144.

EXHIBIT A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling securityholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of their successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling securityholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale-related transfer after the date of this prospectus (all of whom may be selling securityholders), may sell the securities from time to time on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the securities are listed, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling securityholders may sell the securities by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

(a)

block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged shall attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

(b)

purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

(c)

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities are listed;

(d)

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;

(e)

privately negotiated transactions;

(f)

short sales;

(g)

through the writing of options on the securities, whether or not the options are listed on an options exchange;

(h)

through the distribution of the securities by any selling securityholder to its partners, members or stockholders;

(i)

one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; and

(j)

any combination of any of these methods of sale.

The selling securityholders may also transfer the securities by gift. The issuer does not know of any arrangements by the selling securityholders for the sale of any of the securities.

The selling securityholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the securities. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a selling securityholder. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling securityholder to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per security. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell securities acting as agent for a selling securityholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire securities as principals may thereafter resell the securities from time to time in transactions on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the securities are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. The selling securityholders may also sell the securities in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, rather than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the securities are covered by this prospectus.

From time to time, one or more of the selling securityholders may pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities owned by them. The pledgees, secured parties or persons to whom the securities have been hypothecated shall, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be selling securityholders. As and when a selling securityholder takes such actions, the number of securities offered under this prospectus on behalf of such selling securityholder shall decrease. The plan of distribution for that selling securityholder’s securities shall otherwise remain unchanged. In addition, a selling securityholder may, from time to time, sell the securities short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the securities offered under this prospectus may be used to cover short sales.

To the extent required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the aggregate amount of selling securityholders’ securities being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer shall be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the securities may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a selling securityholder and/or purchasers of selling securityholders’ securities for whom they may act (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

The selling securityholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

A selling securityholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with that selling securityholder, including, without limitation, in connection with distributions of the securities by those broker-dealers. A selling securityholder may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the securities offered hereby to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer those securities. A selling securityholder may also loan or pledge the securities offered hereby to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the securities offered hereby so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged securities offered hereby.

A selling securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the selling securityholder or borrowed from the selling securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from the selling securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions shall be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, shall be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

The selling securityholders and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling securityholders and any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the selling securityholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

The issuer has agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the selling securityholders and any brokers, dealers and agents (who may be deemed to be underwriters), if any, of the securities covered by the registration statement, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The securities offered hereby were originally issued to the selling securityholders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuer agreed to register the securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective for a specified period of time. The issuer has agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, including the fees and expenses of counsel to the selling securityholders, but not including underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees of the selling securityholders.

The issuer shall not receive any proceeds from sales of any securities by the selling securityholders.

The issuer cannot assure you that the selling securityholders shall sell all or any portion of the securities offered hereby.
