(i) The Company shall prepare, and, no later than December 4, 2015, the Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a registration statement covering the resale and distribution of all of the Registrable Securities, on a delayed or continuous basis (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). If the Company is a WKSI at the time the Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Shelf Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3) or another appropriate form permitting registration of the Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 days after its filing), and, once, effective, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement until the date on which there are no Registrable Securities outstanding. The “Plan of Distribution” section of such Shelf Registration Statement, as it relates to the Holders, shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Shelf Registration Statement may include a primary registration initiated by the

3

Company and may be a secondary registration requested by other holders of the Company’s securities; provided, that the Company shall identify the Holders and include all Registrable Securities held by such Holders in the Shelf Registration Statement (unless the Holders of the Registrable Securities otherwise instruct the Company in writing). The Company shall be required to comply with its obligations set forth herein relating the Shelf Registration Statement, including the deadlines contemplated hereby, whether or not a registration is initiated by the Company or requested by other holders of the Company’s securities.

(ii) From and after the date that the Shelf Registration Statement is initially effective, as promptly as is practicable after receipt of a request from a Holder, and in any event within (x) ten (10) days after the date such request is received by the Company or (y) if a request is so received during a Suspension Period, five (5) days after the expiration of such Suspension Period, the Company shall take all necessary action to cause the requesting Holder to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus in connection with sales of such Registrable Securities to the purchasers thereof in accordance with applicable law, which action may include: (A) if required by applicable law, filing with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement; (B) preparing and, if required by applicable law, filing a supplement or supplements to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference; (C) filing any other required document; or (D) with respect to a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement that is not automatically effective, using its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared or to otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; provided that: (A) if the Shelf Registration Statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and the Company has already filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement during the calendar quarter in which such filing would otherwise be required to be made, the Company may delay such filing until the tenth (10th) day of the following calendar quarter; and (B) if such request is delivered during a Suspension Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such request and shall take the actions set forth above upon expiration of the Suspension Period in accordance with Subsection 2.1(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to initiate an underwritten takedown offering from the Shelf Registration Statement upon a request of a Holder.

(b) Suspension Periods. Upon written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities, (x) the Company shall be entitled to suspend, for a period of time, the use of any Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with counsel, that the Registration Statement or any Prospectus may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading and (y) the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference if the Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with counsel, that such amendment or supplement would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, in each case that is material to the Company (in case of each clause (x) and (y), a “Suspension Period”); provided that (A) the duration of all Suspension Periods may not exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate in any 12-month period and (B) the Company shall use its

4

commercially reasonable efforts to amend or supplement the Registration Statement and/or Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event shall any single suspension period exceed forty five (45) days.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

(a) If, prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Subsection 2.1, the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such Piggyback Registration. If the Piggyback Registration is for an underwritten offering, upon the request of each Holder given within ten (10) days after such notice is received from the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be included all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. If the Piggyback Registration is for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, upon the request of each Holder given within ten (10) days after such notice is received from the Company, the Company shall, if the Company has not filed the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.1, cause to be included all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt, the managing underwriter or underwriters shall be selected by the Company.

(b) If the Company proposes to effect a takedown offering under the Shelf Registration Statement or a Piggyback Registration (a “Takedown”), the Company shall give each Holder written notice of such Takedown not less than five (5) business days prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Takedown. Upon the request of each Holder given within two (2) business days after such notice is received from the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be included all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such Takedown. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Takedown initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the pricing date of such Takedown, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Takedown. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn Takedown shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt, the managing underwriter or underwriters shall be selected by the Company.

2.3 Underwriting Requirements.

(a) In connection with any offering involving an underwritten offering of shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its

5

underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall include in the offering the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such offering and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without jeopardizing the success of the offering, pro rata among the holders of such securities and the Holders of the Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each such holder.

2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective in accordance with Subsection 2.1(a) for so long as there are Registrable Securities outstanding;

(j) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or by any Holder of Registrable Securities being sold in an underwritten offering, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders indicate relates to them or that they reasonably request be included therein and make appropriate members of management available to meeting with potential investors in the offering;

(k) cause the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities, as may be reasonably necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(m) in the event of the issuance or threatened issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing

9

Holders is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available to the Holders on the date of this Agreement, the Holders shall not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration.

It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its

10

directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants, and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of their officers, directors, and partners, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, free writing prospectus, prospectus (preliminary or final), offering circular, or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will promptly reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.8(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.8 unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by

11

such Indemnified Party as a result of such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8 were based solely upon the number of entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. In no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Section 2.8 exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering.

(e) The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, and liabilities referred to above in this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(c). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(g) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement.

2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:

(a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of any other reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and

12

documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Each Holder and the Company hereby agree that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2.2 by the Company for its own behalf of shares of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-3, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed ninety (90) days (the “Holdback Period”)), effect any sale or distribution of Registrable Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities. If (x) the Company issues an earnings release or other material news or a material event relating to the Company and its subsidiaries occurs during the last 17 days of the Holdback Period or (y) prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of the Holdback Period, then to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of an underwritten offering required hereunder to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or any successor regulation, the Holdback Period shall be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or event, as the case may be; provided, however, that such extension of the Holdback Period shall not apply if at the expiration of the Holdback Period (i) the Common Stock meets the definition of “actively traded securities” (as defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) and (ii) the Company meets the applicable requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 139 under the Securities Act in the manner contemplated by NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) of the FINRA Manual (such period, if any, the “Holdback Extension”). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to its securities that are subject to the forgoing restriction until the end of such period, including any period of Holdback Extension. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 2.11 shall (i) not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, (ii) shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to substantially the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding capital stock and (iii) shall be applicable to a Holder only if the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 2 and has included at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holder in such underwritten offering. The underwriters in connection with such underwritten offering are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Subsection 2.10 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such underwritten offering that are consistent with this Subsection 2.10 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

2.11 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights and obligations of any Holder under this Agreement shall terminate when all shares of such Holder’s that were Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities, provided that the indemnification provisions of Subsection 2.8 shall survive such termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time when there are no Registrable Securities outstanding, provided that the indemnification provisions of Subsection 2.8 shall survive such termination.

13

3.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder. The rights of the Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, may be assigned by the Holder (i) at any time, to an Affiliate of the Holder or (ii) subject to transfer restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to any third party in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities; but only if such transferee executes a Joinder in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of applicable law and any applicable agreement. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to and benefit from all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities, such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

3.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal law of the State of New York.

3.3 Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding against any party hereto relating in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought and enforced in any United States federal court or New York State Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, and each party, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in respect of any such action or proceeding. Each party, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to such person or entity at the address for such person or entity set forth in Section 3.7 hereof or such other address such person or entity shall notify the other in writing. The foregoing shall not limit the right of any person or entity to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding, or to obtain execution of any judgment, in any other jurisdiction.

Each party, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York. Each party, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives any claim that a court located in the State of New York is not a convenient forum for any such action or proceeding.

Each party, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable United States federal and state law, all immunity from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which he might otherwise be entitled in any action or proceeding relating in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York, of the United States or of any other country or jurisdiction, and hereby waives any right he might otherwise have to raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 

We are registering the shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the shares of common stock from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders and any of their transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121 (and any successor); and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA 2121.

In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and if such short sale shall take place after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission, the selling stockholders may deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the selling stockholders have been advised that they may not use shares registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to cover short sales of our common stock made prior to the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, has been declared effective by the Commission.]¹

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Each selling stockholder has informed us that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. Upon our being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker-dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:

In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups, which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Each selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that each selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with a registration rights agreement, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to contribution.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
