Such request shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.
2.5. Except as provided in the next paragraph, a registration will not be deemed to have been effected as a Demand Registration unless (a) it has been declared effective by the Commission and (b) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, that if, after it has become effective, the offering of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to such registration is or becomes the subject of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or any other governmental or administrative agency, or if any court prevents or otherwise limits the sale of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to the registration (for any reason other than the acts or omissions of the Holders), such registration will be deemed not to have been effected.
The Demanding Holders or any Other Holders may withdraw all or any part of the Registrable Common Stock from a Demand Registration at any time before the effective date of such Demand Registration, and if all such Registrable Common Stock is so withdrawn, the Demanding Holders may withdraw the demand related thereto.

registration statement is filed pursuant to a Demand Registration, and subsequently a sufficient number of shares of Registrable Common Stock are withdrawn from the Demand Registration so that such registration statement does not cover at least the required amounts specified by Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, and an additional number of shares of Registrable Common Stock is not so included, the Company may (or shall, if requested by the Demanding Holders) withdraw the registration statement. Any Demand Registration that is withdrawn pursuant to the preceding two sentences after the initial filing with the Commission shall count as a Demand Registration hereunder, unless the Holders elect to bear the expenses of such Demand Registration as contemplated in the next sentence. If the Demanding Holders elect to bear the expenses associated with any such withdrawn registration statement which would otherwise have counted as a Demand Registration hereunder, such registration statement will not count as a Demand Registration and the Company shall continue to be obligated to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2 as though the initial request for such Demand Registration had never been made. If a majority of the Demanding Holders (based on the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock originally requested to be included) elect to bear such expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the Demanding Holder(s) whose withdrawal of Registrable Common Stock resulted in such registration statement not covering the specified required amounts.
Section 3. Piggy-Back Registration. If at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any securityholders of any class of its equity Securities (other than (i) a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any applicable substitute, replacement or successor form that may be adopted by the Commission), (ii) a registration statement filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of Securities solely to the Company’s existing securityholders or (iii) a registration statement relating to a Demand Registration), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Common Stock as each such Holder may request (which request shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of distribution thereof) (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply to the registration statement filed by the Company in respect of its Initial Public Offering if the Initial Exercise Date of the Warrant is the consummation of such Initial Public Offering.
The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Common Stock requested by the Holders thereof to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration (the “Piggy-Back Holders”) on the same terms and conditions as any similar Securities of the Company or any other securityholder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Common Stock in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Common Stock in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 3 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw. The Company may withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the time it becomes effective; provided, that the Company shall reimburse the Piggy-Back Holders for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred prior to such withdrawal.

No registration effected under this Section 3, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 3, shall relieve the Company of its obligations pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 3 and to complete the sale of shares of Registrable Common Stock in connection therewith shall relieve the Company of any other obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company’s obligations under Sections 6 and 7 hereof).
Section 4. Limitations on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement:
(a) the Company shall not be required to effect more than one (1) registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof; provided, that if (i) a registration requested pursuant to Section 2 hereof is not deemed to have been effected as a Demand Registration, (ii) the registration requested pursuant to Section 2 hereof does not remain effective until the first to occur of (A) one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date thereof or (B) until the consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Common Stock included in such registration statement or (iii) the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Common Stock under Section 2 hereof do not register and sell at least 80% of the Registrable Common Stock they have requested be registered in such registration due to the Company’s failure to keep the registration statement effective and to ensure that the prospectus included therein continues to satisfy the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act as required by this Agreement, then such registration statement shall not count as a Demand Registration permitted pursuant to Section 2 hereof by the Demanding Holder(s) in question and the Company shall continue to be obligated to effect a registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof as though the initial request for such Demand Registration had never been made; and
(b) the Company will not be required to file any registration under Section 2 hereof:
(i) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of any registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act for an underwritten initial public offering of shares of Common Stock initiated by the Company and ninety (90) days after any subsequent registrations or, in each case such later dates as may be required by Section 9 hereof; and
(ii) if, in the good faith judgment of the Board, such filing pursuant to Section 2 would require the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, which disclosure would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the Company and the Company furnishes to the Selling Holders a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company to such effect. The Company shall then have the right to defer such filing for the
5
period during which such filing would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the Company; provided, that the Company may not defer the filing for a period of more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holders; provided, further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any twelve-month period.

7.4. Promptly after receipt by any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.3 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability except to the extent of any material prejudice resulting therefrom. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified Indemnifying Party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges, in a writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Party, such Indemnifying Party’s liability for all Damages of such Indemnified Party, to the extent specified in and in accordance with this Section 7. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be for the account of such Indemnified Party, unless (a) the
13
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or action or separate but substantially similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction 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 Indemnified Parties or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes only the payment of Damages and an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. Whether or not the defense of any claim or action is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.5. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties (except, in the case where Selling Holders are the Indemnified Parties, for reasons set forth in Section 7.1(b) hereof) in respect of any Damages referred to herein, 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 Damages (a) as between the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Registrable Common Stock, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, and (b) as between the Company on the one hand and each Selling Holder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each Selling Holder in connection with such statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Holders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Holders or by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Selling Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
14
The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.5, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Common Stock underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Common Stock of such Selling Holder were offered to the public (less underwriting discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Selling Holder’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.5 is several in proportion to the respective number of shares of Registrable Common Stock held by each of the Selling Holders and not joint.
The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations contained in this Section 7 are in addition to any liability any Indemnifying Party may otherwise have to an Indemnified Party or otherwise.
Section 8. Marketing Restrictions.
(a) Demand Registration. The Company may include in a Demand Registration shares of Common Stock for the account of the Company or for the account of other holders thereof exercising contractual piggy-back or demand rights, on the same terms and conditions as the Registrable Common Stock to be included therein for the account of the Demanding Holders and any Other Holders; provided, that (i) if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any underwritten offering described in Section 2 hereof have informed the Company in writing that it is their opinion that the total number of shares which the Demanding Holders and Other Holders, the Company and any such other holders intend to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering, then (x) the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be offered for the account of such other holders shall be reduced (to zero, if necessary), in the case of this clause (x) pro rata in proportion to the respective
15
number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered and (y) thereafter, if necessary, the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be offered for the account of the Company (if any) shall be reduced (to zero, if necessary), to the extent necessary to reduce the total number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such offering to the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock, if any, recommended by such managing Underwriters (and if the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be offered for the account of each such Person has been reduced to zero, and the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered by the Demanding Holders and Other Holders exceeds the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock recommended by such managing Underwriters, then the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be offered for the account of the Demanding Holders and Other Holders shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the respective number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered by the Demanding Holders and Other Holders) and (ii) if the offering is not underwritten, no other party, including the Company, shall be permitted to offer securities under any such Demand Registration unless a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock held by the Demanding Holder and Other Holders consent to the inclusion of such shares therein.
(b) Piggy-Back Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any underwritten offering described in Section 3 hereof have informed, in writing, the Piggy-Back Holders that it is their opinion that the total number of shares of Registrable Common Stock that the Company and Holders of Registrable Common Stock and any other Persons desiring to participate in such registration intend to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering, then the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be offered for the account of the Piggy-Back Holders and all such other Persons (other than the Company) participating in such registration shall be reduced (to zero, if necessary) or limited pro rata in proportion to the respective number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered, to the extent necessary to reduce the total number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such offering to the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock, if any, recommended by such managing Underwriters; provided, that if such offering is effected for the account of any other securityholder of the Company pursuant to the Demand Registration rights of such securityholder, then the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be offered for the account of the Company, the Piggy-Back Holders and any other holders that have requested to include shares of Registrable Common Stock in such registration (but not such securityholders who have exercised their Demand Registration rights) shall be reduced (to zero, if necessary), in the case of this clause pro rata in proportion to the respective number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered, to the extent necessary to reduce the total number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such offering to the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock, if any, recommended by such managing Underwriters.

9.1. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Common Stock. Each Holder agrees that, in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company (except as part of such registration), in the case of an underwritten initial public offering that constitutes a QIPO, if, and to the extent, requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, it will not offer for sale, sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Securities (other than the Securities included in the registration and other than Securities transferred to Permitted Transferees) without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the effective date of such registration statement as the Underwriters may specify; provided, that the Company’s executive officers and directors and holders of 1% or more of the Common Stock (on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis) and all other Persons with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) are similarly bound; and provided, further, that in the event that the obligations of any such executive officers, directors or holders of 1% or more of the Common Stock under this Section 9 are waived, then the obligations of any other such executive officer, director or holder of 1% or more of the Common Stock shall automatically be deemed waived simultaneously therewith.
9.2. Restrictions on Sales by the Company and Others. The Company agrees and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to agree (a) not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Securities similar to those being registered in accordance with Sections 2 or 3 hereof, or any Securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Securities, during the one hundred eighty (180)-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement (except as part of such registration statement), in the case of an underwritten offering, if, and to the extent, reasonably requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, (b) to use their respective best efforts to ensure that any agreement entered into after the date hereof pursuant to which the Company issues or agrees to issue any privately placed Common Stock (or Securities convertible into Common Stock) (other than to officers or employees) shall contain a provision under which any holder of such Common Stock (or Securities convertible into Common Stock) who will own or have the right to acquire more than 1% of the Company’s Common Stock agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of any such Common Stock (or Securities convertible into Common Stock) during the periods described in clause (a) above, in each case including a sate pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except as part of any such registration. if permitted); provided, that the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not prevent (x) the conversion or exchange of any Securities pursuant to their terms into or for other Securities or (y) the issuance of any Securities to employees of the Company or pursuant to any employee plan.
Section 10. Compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A Under the Securities Act. The Company covenants that it will exercise all reasonable efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable Common Stock without registration under the
17
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission, and exercise all reasonable efforts to make available to the public and such Holders such information as will enable the Holders to make sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
Section 11. Assignability of Registration Rights; Additional Parties. The rights set forth in this Agreement shall accrue to each Holder of Registrable Common Stock if such subsequent Holder or party shall have executed a written consent agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a party to this Agreement.
Section 12. Designation of Underwriter. If the Demanding Holders so elect, the offering of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to a Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. The Demanding Holders shall select one or more nationally recognized firms of investment bankers to act as the book-running managing Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with such offering and shall select any additional investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with the offering. Such selections by the Demanding Holders shall be subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 13. Miscellaneous.
