(d) Underwritten Offerings.

(i) Until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall notify the Stockholders in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of any registration statement or Prospectus under the 1933 Act (excluding a registration or Prospectus relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction on Form S-4, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales) for purposes of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Stock by the Company (an “Underwritten Offering”) and will include in such Underwritten Offering all or part of the Registrable Securities held by the Stockholders to the extent and on the terms and conditions set forth herein. If the Stockholder elects to include in any such Underwritten Offering all or a portion of the Registrable Securities, the Stockholders shall, within one (1) Business Day after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing.

(ii) The right of the Stockholders to include Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be conditioned upon the Stockholders’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Stockholders’ Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. In order to distribute its Registrable Securities through such Underwritten Offering, the Stockholders shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company, and shall deliver all such documents and materials reasonably requested by the underwriters and the Company on a timely basis. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten in an Underwritten Offering, the number of shares that may be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated as

follows: (A) the Company shall be entitled to priority in registration with respect to shares generating the first $50 million of gross proceeds; and (B) the remaining shares to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated equally between the Company on the one hand and the Stockholders on the other. The Company shall have the right to terminate any Underwritten Offering initiated by it under this Section 2(d) prior to execution of an underwriting agreement whether or not the Stockholders have elected to include securities in such registration.

(iii) In connection with any Underwritten Offering in which the Stockholders participate or are invited to participate in accordance with this Section 2(d), the Stockholders hereby agree that they will agree in writing to any restrictions on sale of the Registrable Securities owned by the Stockholders that are requested by the managing underwriter for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not be imposed unless restrictions as least as burdensome are imposed on each executive officer and director of the Company.

3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold, or (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities (other than with respect to Registrable Securities owned by Affiliates of the Company) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without being subject to any volume limitation (the “Effectiveness Period”);

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, Prospectus supplements or post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to timely comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby and, upon fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice, shall file any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement and Prospectus with respect to the plan of distribution or the Stockholders’ ownership interests in its Registrable Securities that is reasonably necessary to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement;

(c) provide copies to and permit the Stockholders’ counsel, and its underwriters, if any, to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects based upon such counsel’s belief that such Registration Statement is not in compliance with applicable laws, rules or regulations or contains a material misstatement or omission or any underwriters or Stockholders reasonably object;

(d) furnish to the Stockholders, its legal counsel, and any underwriters, promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than three (3) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be), (A) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any

amendment thereto, and (B) such number of copies of each preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment) as the Stockholders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Stockholders that are covered by each Registration Statement;

(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use all commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or exempt therefrom, or cooperate with the Stockholders, their counsel, and any underwriters in connection with the registration or qualification, or exemption therefrom, of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Stockholders and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(g) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(h) immediately notify the Stockholders in writing, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act (including during any period when the Company is in compliance with Rule 172), upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event or the passage of time as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of the Stockholders, promptly prepare and furnish to the Stockholders a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus or the Registration Statement as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to timely make and keep public information available, as that term is understood and defined in, and required under, Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, at all times;

Secondary Underwritten Offering that the Company plans to promptly commence an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2(d), and afford Stockholders the right to include in such Underwritten Offering the greater of (x) one-half of the number of shares the Stockholders intended to include in the Secondary Underwritten Offering, or (y) such number of shares as they would otherwise be entitled to include in accordance with Section 2(d), then the Company’s obligations under this paragraph (j) shall be deferred until the completion or abandonment of such Underwritten Offering, but in no event longer than 30 days.

(a) The Stockholders shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself and the Registrable Securities held by them as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, the Company shall notify the Stockholders of the information the Company requires in order to have the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. The Stockholders shall provide such information to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to each anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement.

Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by the Stockholders of an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of such amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such liability would have been corrected.

(b) Indemnification by the Stockholders. The Stockholders agree to indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information regarding a Holder Indemnitee furnished in writing by a Holder Indemnitee to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or in the case of an occurrence of an Allowed Delay or an event of the type specified in Section 3(h), the use by such Holder Indemnitee of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Stockholders in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by the Stockholders of an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such liability would have been corrected.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it intends to seek indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties except to the extent that based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest exists between the indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any successor statute or law thereto, unless the context requires otherwise. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” does not limit the preceding words or terms.

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights hereunder or thereunder, may be assigned by any party, nor may any party delegate any obligations hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of the other party hereto or thereto, provided that the Stockholders may, without the consent of the Company and without affecting such Stockholders rights and obligations hereunder, assign Stockholders’ same rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of their respective Affiliates or subsidiaries to the extent they are transferees of Registrable Securities. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors, heirs and assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all provisions and conditions hereof being intended to be, and being, for the sole and exclusive benefit of such parties, and their respective permitted successors, heirs and assigns and for the benefit of no other Person or entity.

(d) Amendment and Waiver. The parties hereto may amend or modify, or may waive any right or obligation under, this Agreement in any respect, provided that any

such amendment, modification or waiver shall be in writing and executed by each of the Company and the Stockholders. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute or operate as a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any other provision hereof, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

(e) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is made pursuant to, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, irrespective of the principal place of business, residence or domicile of the parties hereto, and without giving effect to otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of law. Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted, heard and determined exclusively in any federal court or in any state court located in Wilmington, Delaware, and each party hereto hereby waives any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of any such court. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective against any party hereto if given as provided in Section 6(a) hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(f) Section Headings and Defined Terms. The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning and interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise indicated, all agreements defined herein refer to the same as from time to time amended or supplemented or the terms thereof waived or modified in accordance herewith and therewith.

(g) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement and the other documents required to consummate the transactions contemplated herein may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original (including facsimile and PDF signatures), and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The parties hereto may deliver this Agreement and the other documents required to consummate the transactions contemplated herein by telecopier machine/facsimile or via e-mail and each party shall be permitted to rely upon the signatures so transmitted to the same extent and effect as if they were original signatures.

(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the

agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (written or oral), with respect to such subject matter.

(j) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
