2.2 Underwritten Offering. If the Investor intends to distribute the Registrable Shares covered by any Demand Registration Notice by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of such Demand Registration Notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if an underwriter advises the Company that, in the opinion of the underwriter, the distribution of all of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered would materially and adversely affect the distribution of all of the securities to be underwritten, then (a) the Company shall deliver to the Investor a copy of the underwriter’s opinion, which shall be in writing and state the reasons for its opinion, and (b) the number of Registrable Shares that may be included in such registration shall be allocated: (i) first, to the Investor; and (ii) second, to the other persons proposing to register securities in such registration, if any; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are entirely excluded from the underwriting. Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
2.3 Selection of Underwriter. The Investor shall have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters to administer any underwritten demand registration offering or underwritten takedown under a Demand Registration Statement; provided that the underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of its Common Stock, whether to be sold by the Company or by one or more selling securityholders, other than (a) any Demand Registration Statement (in which case the ability of an Investor to participate in such Demand Registration Statement shall be governed by Section 2.1) or (b) a registration statement (i) on Form S-8 or any successor form to Form S-8 or in connection with any employee or director welfare, benefit or compensation plan, (ii) in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities exclusively to existing securityholders of the Company or its subsidiaries or (iii) relating to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act, the Company shall give written notice of the proposed registration to the Investor at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement. The Investor shall have the right to request that all or any portion of its Registrable Shares be included in such Registration Statement by giving written notice to the Company within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the foregoing notice by the Company. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 5.2, the Company will include all such Registrable Shares requested to be included by the Investor in such Piggyback Registration Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, any Registration Statement of the Company in which Registrable Shares are included pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be referred to as a “Piggyback Registration Statement.”
3.2 Withdrawal of Exercise of Rights. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of any Piggyback Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company or any other holder of securities that initiated such registration (each, an “Initiating Investor”) determines for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration, the Company may at its election (or the election of the Initiating Investor(s), as applicable) give written notice of the

|
|
|
|
determination to the Investor and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith).
3.3 Underwritten Offering. If a registration pursuant to this Section 3 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities which the Company and the holders of the Registrable Shares and any other persons intend to include in the registration exceeds the largest number of securities that can be sold in the offering without having an adverse effect on the offering (including the price at which the securities can be sold), then the Company shall include in the registration the maximum number of securities as follows: (a) first, all of the securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, if any; provided that the registration of the securities was initiated by the Company with respect to securities intended to be registered for sale for its own account; (b) second, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in the registration by the Investor which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect described above; and (c) third, the securities requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.
3.4 Selection of Underwriter. Except to the extent Section 2.3 applies, Registrable Shares proposed to be registered and sold under this Section 3 pursuant to an underwritten offering for the account of the Investor holding Registrable Shares shall be sold to prospective underwriters selected by the Company; provided that such underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Investor.

5.2 Obligations of the Investor. In connection with any Registration Statement utilized by the Company to satisfy the provisions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, and the Investor agrees that such cooperation shall include (a) responding within fifteen (15) calendar days to any written request by the Company to provide or verify information regarding the Investor or the Registrable Shares (including the proposed manner of sale) that may be required to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and (b) providing in a timely manner information regarding the proposed distribution by the Investor of the Registrable Shares and any other information as may be requested by the Company from time to time in connection with the preparation of and for inclusion in such Registration Statement and related Prospectus.
5.3 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Investor may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Investor (a) agrees to sell the Registrable Shares on the basis provided in the applicable underwriting arrangements (that shall include a customary form of underwriting agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, which will provide that the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Investor), and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, and other documents in customary form as reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that, in the case of each of clause (a) and (b), if the provisions of the underwriting arrangements, or the terms or provisions of the questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements or other
|

|
|
|
|
documents, are less favorable in any respect to an Investor than to any other person or entity that is party to the underwriting arrangements as a selling stockholder, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the parties to the underwriting arrangements to amend the arrangements so that the Investor receives the benefit of any provisions thereof that are more favorable to such other person or entity. If the Investor does not approve of the terms of the underwriting arrangements, the Investor may elect to withdraw from the offering by providing written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s).
5.4 Offers and Sales. All offers and sales by an Investor under any Registration Statement shall be completed within the period during which such Registration Statement is required to remain effective pursuant to the applicable provision above and not the subject of any stop order, injunction or other order of the SEC. Upon expiration of that period, no Investor will offer or sell the Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement. If directed in writing by the Company, the Investor will return or, in the Investor’s sole discretion, destroy all undistributed copies of the applicable Prospectus in its possession upon the expiration of the period.
6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any of their partners, members, managers, officers, directors, trustees, employees or representatives, as follows:
|
-10- |
|
|
|
|
provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 6 does not apply to the Investor with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in the applicable Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (such information, the “Investor Information”), or (ii) the Investor’s failure to deliver an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to the Investor by the Company, if required by law to have been delivered, if such loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.
6.2 Indemnification by Investor. The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors and officers (including each director and officer of the Company who signed the applicable Registration Statement), and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as follows:
|
-11- |
|
|
|
|
provided, however, that the Investor shall only be liable under the indemnity provided pursuant to Section 6.2 with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent directly related to (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with the Investor Information, or (ii) the Investor’s failure to deliver an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to the Investor by the Company, if required by law to have been delivered by the Investor, if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, the Investor and any of its Permitted Transferees shall not be required to indemnify the Company, its directors, officers or control persons for any amount in excess of the amount of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Investor or its Permitted Transferee, as the case may be, from sales of the Registrable Shares of the Investor (or Permitted Transferee) under the Registration Statement that is the subject of the indemnification claim.
6.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. An indemnified party hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt notice to the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any action or proceeding commenced against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party (a) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have under the indemnity provisions of Section 6.1 or 6.2 unless and only to the extent the Indemnifying Party did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the Indemnified Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses, and (b) shall not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Section 6.1 or 6.2 above. If the Indemnifying Party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such action or
|
-12- |
|
|
|
|
proceeding without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement, compromise or consent (a) secures the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates; (c) does not impose any restriction upon the operations of the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates; and (d) relates solely to monetary damages indemnifiable hereunder; and provided further that, if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall be entitled to conduct the Indemnifying Party’s defense and counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the Indemnifying Party (x) is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action, (y) does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, or (z) indicates that it will assume such defense but thereafter fails to diligently pursue such defense, in any such case, the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party. In such event, however, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If an Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume, and assumes and diligently pursues, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.
