(b) After the Resale Shelf Expiration Date and for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to be eligible and/or to maintain its eligibility to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3.

(c) After the Resale Shelf Expiration Date and for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, if there is not an effective Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities that are currently outstanding, the Company shall (i) if the Company is eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, promptly file a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable or, (ii) if the Company is not eligible at such time to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, promptly file a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(e) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Registration Statement that has become effective as contemplated by this Section 3 continuously effective, and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other similar order or requirement of the Commission until the date on which all Registrable Securities registered thereunder are no longer Registrable Securities.

4. Demand Registration.

(a) At any time and from time to time on or following the date that is 120 days after the date hereof, any Holder or group of Holders may request in writing (“Demand Registration Request”) that the Company effect the registration of all or part of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities with the Commission under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act (each, a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and no later than thirty (30) days after it receives such Demand Registration Request, file a Registration Statement covering such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities requested to be registered, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4(a):

(1) unless (i) the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered on such Registration Statement equals at least ten percent (10%) of all Registrable Securities held by all Holders at such time or (ii) the Registrable Securities requested to be sold by the Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement have an anticipated aggregate gross offering price (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $25 million, disregarding any Registrable Securities subject to clause (2) below;

(2) with respect to any Registrable Securities requested to be registered that are already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement and such Registration Statement may be utilized for the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities requested to be registered; and

(3) if a Registration Statement filed by the Company shall have previously been initially declared effective by the Commission within the one hundred eighty (180) days preceding the date such Demand Registration Request is made.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than five such Demand Registrations; provided, however that a Demand Registration shall not be considered made for purposes hereof unless the requested Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission for more than 75% of the full amount of Registrable Securities for which registration has been requested (subject to any reduction under Section 5(c) hereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall not consitute a Demand Registration for any purpose hereunder.

(b) A Demand Registration Request shall specify (i) the then-current name and address of such Holder or Holders, (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered, (iii) the total number of Registrable Securities then beneficially owned by such Holder or Holders, and (iv) the intended means of distribution. If at the time the Demand Registration Request is made the Company appears, based on public information available to such Holder or Holders, eligible to use Form S-3 for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities, the Holder or Holders making such request may request that the registration be in the form of a Shelf Registration Statement (for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be under the obligation to file a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 if, upon the advice of its counsel, it is not eligible to make such a filing).

(c) The Company may satisfy its obligations under Section 4(a) hereof by amending (to the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Commission) any Registration Statement previously filed by the Company under the Securities Act and not yet declared effective by the Commission, so that such amended Registration Statement permits the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of disposition specified as aforesaid) of all of the Registrable Securities for which a Demand Registration Request has been properly made under this Section 4. If the Company so amends a previously filed Registration Statement, it shall be deemed to have effected a registration for purposes of Section 4(a) hereof; provided, however, that the Effective Date of the amended registration statement, as amended pursuant to this Section 4(c), shall be the “the first day of effectiveness” of such Registration Statement for purposes of determining the period during which the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective in accordance with Section 4(e) hereof.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after receiving a Demand Registration Request, the Company shall give written notice of such request to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, include in such registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after the Company’s giving of such notice, provided that the Company shall not be required to include in such registration any Registrable Securities that are already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement that may be utilized for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in the manner so requested.

(e) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Registration Statement that has become effective as contemplated by this Section 4 continuously effective, and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other similar order or requirement of the Commission:

(1) in the case of a Registration Statement other than a Shelf Registration Statement, until all Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, but in no event later than two hundred seventy (270) days from the Effective Date of such Registration Statement; and

(2) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, until the earlier of: (x) three (3) years following the Effective Date of such Shelf Registration Statement; and (y) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be Registrable Securities;

provided, however, that in the event of any stop order, injunction or other similar order or requirement of the Commission relating to any Shelf Registration Statement, if any Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement remain unsold, the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during which such stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement is in effect; provided further, however, that if any Shelf Registration Statement was initially declared effective on Form S-3 and the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3, the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during which the Company did not have an effective Registration Statement covering unsold Registrable Securities initially registered on such Shelf Registration Statement.

(f) The Holder or Holders making a Demand Registration Request may, at any time prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement relating to such registration, revoke their request for the Company to effect the registration of all or part of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities by providing a written notice to the Company. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the entire Demand Registration Request is revoked, then, at the option of the Holder or Holders who revoke such request, either (i) such Holder or Holders shall reimburse the Company for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the preparation, filing and processing of the Registration Statement, which out-of-pocket expenses, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include overhead expenses and which requested registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registration Requests hereunder or (ii) the requested registration that has been revoked shall be deemed to have been effected for purposes of Section 4(a) (for the avoidance of doubt, “or” as used in this clause is exclusive).

(g) If a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 4 is a Shelf Registration Statement, then upon the demand of one or more Holders, the Company shall facilitate a “takedown” of Registrable Securities in the form of an Underwritten Offering, in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 5, provided that (x) (i) the number of securities included in such underwritten “takedown” shall equal at least fifteen percent (15%) of all Registrable Securities by all Holders at such time or (ii) the Registrable Securities requested to be sold by the Holders in such “takedown” shall have an anticipated aggregate offering price (before deducting underwriting discounts and commission) of at least $25 million; or (y) the number of securities included in such “takedown” represent all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders participating in such takedown at the time of such takedown.

5. Procedures for Underwritten Offerings. The following procedures shall govern Underwritten Offerings pursuant to Section 2(g) or Section 4(g), whether in the case of an Underwritten Takedown or otherwise.

(a) (i) The Majority Holders, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), shall select one or more investment banking firm(s) of national standing to be the managing underwriter or underwriters for any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration Request or an Underwritten Takedown, and (ii) the Company shall select one or more investment banking firm(s) of national standing to be the managing underwriter or underwriters for any other Underwritten Offering, with the consent of the Majority Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through an Underwritten Offering, as a condition for inclusion of their Registrable Securities therein, shall agree to enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters; provided, however, that the underwriting agreement is in customary form and reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Majority Holders and provided further, however, that no Holder of Registrable Securities included in any Underwritten Offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding (x) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (y) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer and (z) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the managing underwriter or underwriters for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration or an Underwritten Takedown advises the Holders that the total amount of Registrable Securities or other Reorganized DN Common Shares permitted to be registered is such as to materially adversely affect the success of such Underwritten Offering, the number of Registrable Securities or other Reorganized DN Common Shares to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows: first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the securities of the Company to be included by any Person other than a Holder or the Company; second, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities of the Company to be included by the Company; and third, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included by any Holder, on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after receiving a request for an Underwritten Offering constituting a “takedown” from a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall give written notice of such request to all other Holders (which notice shall state that the material terms of such proposed Underwritten Offering, to the extent known, as well as the identity of the Holder requesting such takedown, are available upon request), and subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) hereof, include in such Underwritten Offering all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s giving of such notice; provided, however, that such Registrable Securities are covered by an existing and effective Shelf Registration Statement that may be utilized for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered.

(e) The Company shall not be required to undertake an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2(g) or Section 4(g) if the Company has undertaken an Underwritten Offering, whether for its own account or pursuant to this Agreement, within the one hundred eighty (180) days preceding the date of the request to the Company for such Underwritten Offering.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than four such Underwritten Offerings; provided that an Underwritten Offering shall not be considered made for purposes of this Section 5(f) unless it has resulted in the disposition by the Holders of at least 75% of the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included subject to any reduction under Section 5(c) hereof.

6. Grace Periods.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein—

(1) the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing or effectiveness of, or, at any time after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, suspend the use of, a Registration Statement (including the Prospectus included therein) if (x) in the good faith judgment of the Board, such registration, offering or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect in an adverse manner or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require the disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public and the premature disclosure of which would materially affect the Company in an adverse manner or (y) the Company would be required to include in such Registration Statement (or Prospectus) financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control; provided however, that in the event such Registration Statement relates to a Demand Registration Request or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2(g) or Section 4(g), then the Holders initiating such Demand Registration Request or such Underwritten Offering shall be entitled to withdraw the Demand Registration Request or request for the Underwritten Offering and, if such request is withdrawn, it shall not count against the limits imposed pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 5(f) and the Company shall pay all reasonable and documented registration expenses in connection with such registration; and

(2) at any time after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and there is no duty to disclose under applicable law, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company if the disclosure of such information at the time would, in the good faith judgment of the Board, adversely affect the Company (the period of a postponement or suspension as described in clause (1) and/or a delay described in this clause (2), a “Grace Period”).

(b) The Company shall (i) promptly notify the Holders in writing of the existence of the event or material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information to any Holder, without the express consent of such Holder) or the need to file a post-effective amendment, as applicable, and the date on which such Grace Period will begin, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate a Grace Period as promptly as reasonably practicable and (iii) promptly notify the Holders in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends.

(c) The duration of any one Grace Period shall not exceed forty five (45) days, and the aggregate of all Grace Periods in total during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period shall not exceed ninety (90) days. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period, the Grace Period shall be deemed to begin on and include the date the Holders receive the notice referred to in clause (i) of Section 6(b) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Holders receive the notice referred to in clause (iii) of Section 6(b) and the date referred to in such notice. In the event the Company declares a Grace Period, the period during which the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of an Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration Request shall be extended by the number of days during which such Grace Period is in effect.

7. Piggyback Registration.

(a) Whenever the Company proposes to conduct a Public Offering of any class of the Company’s Capital Stock solely for cash (whether or not wholly a primary or secondary offering but except for a Demand Registration or Excluded Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing or underwritten offering to each Holder at least five (5) Business Days before the (i) filing of the Registration Statement associated with such Public Offering (if no such Registration Statement is then effective) and (ii) expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Public Offering (if a Shelf Registration Statement associated with such Public Offering is then effective) (provided that in the case of a “bought deal,” “registered direct offering” or “overnight transaction” (a “Bought Deal”), such Piggyback Notice shall be given not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts. Such notice shall include the number and class of securities proposed to be registered or offered, the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement or commencement of marketing efforts, as applicable, any proposed means of distribution of such securities and any proposed managing underwriter of such securities and shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register or offer such amount of Registrable Securities as each Holder may reasonably request on the same terms and conditions as the registration or offering of the other securities being registered or offered thereunder (a “Piggyback Offering”). Subject to Section 7(b), the Company shall include in each Piggyback Offering all Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within three (3) Business Days after the date the Piggyback Notice is given (provided that in the case of a Bought Deal, such written requests for inclusion must be received within one (1) Business Day after the date the Piggyback Notice is given); provided, however, that in the case of the filing of a Registration Statement, such Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered pursuant to an existing and effective Shelf Registration Statement under this Agreement, but in such case, the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in such underwritten Piggyback Offering if the Shelf Registration Statement may be utilized for the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be offered (without regard to the limitations on participation in Underwritten Offerings set forth in Section 2(g)).

(b) The Company shall cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of the proposed offering to permit the Holders that have requested Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Offering to include all such Registrable Securities on substantially the same terms and conditions as any similar securities, if any, of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering advises the Company and the selling Holders in writing that, in its view, the total amount of securities that the Company, such Holders and any other holders entitled to participate in such offering (such other holders, the “Other Holders”) propose to include in such offering is such as to materially adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of such underwritten offering, then:

(1) if such Piggyback Offering is an underwritten primary offering by the Company for its own account, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Offering: (i) first, all securities to be offered by the Company; (ii) second, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by the Holders; and (iii) third, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by all Other Holders; and

(2) if such Piggyback Offering is an underwritten secondary offering for the account of Other Holders exercising “demand” rights (including pursuant to a Demand Registration Request), the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, all securities of the Other Holders exercising “demand” rights (including pursuant to a Demand Registration Request) requested to be included therein; (ii) second, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by the Holders entitled to participate therein, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder; (iii) third, up to the full amount of securities proposed to be included in the registration by the Company; and (iv) fourth, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by the Other Holders entitled to participate therein, allocated pro rata among such Other Holders on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such Other Holder;

such that, in each case, the total amount of securities to be included in such Piggyback Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without materially adversely affecting the success of such Piggyback Offering.

(c) If at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the time sales of securities are confirmed pursuant to the Piggyback Offering, the Company determines for any reason not to register or delay the registration of the Piggyback Offering, the Company may, at its election, give notice of its determination to all Holders, and in the case of such a determination, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the abandoned or delayed Piggyback Offering, without prejudice.

(d) Any Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in a Piggyback Offering may withdraw its request for inclusion by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to withdraw from that registration, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Offering, or in the case of a Piggyback Offering constituting a “takedown” off of a shelf registration statement, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the filing by the Company under Rule 424 of a supplemental Prospectus (which shall be the preliminary supplemental Prospectus, if one is used in the “takedown”) with respect to such offering; provided, however, that (i) the Holder’s request be made in writing and (ii) the withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making the withdrawal, a Holder shall no longer have any right to include its Registrable Securities in that Piggyback Offering.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company at any time requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed registration or offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing.

8. Registration Procedures. If and when the Company is required to effect any registration under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission the requisite Registration Statement to effect such registration and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective, subject to the limitations contained herein;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until (i) such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement, subject to the limitations contained herein, (ii) such Registration Statement is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (iii) such other time as may be specified in this Agreement;

(c) (i) before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (except for any amendment or supplement as a result of the filing of a periodic report, current report or any other document required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act), at the Company’s expense, furnish to the Holders whose securities are covered by the Registration Statement copies of all such documents, other than documents that are incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, proposed to be filed and such other documents reasonably requested by such Holders (which may be furnished by email), and afford Counsel to the Holders a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents; and (ii) in connection with the preparation and filing of each such Registration Statement prepared in connection with an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Agreement, (A) upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, give each of the foregoing such reasonable access to all financial and other records, corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Counsel to the Holders and the underwriters, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation for purposes of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and (B) upon reasonable advance notice to the Company and during normal business hours, provide such reasonable opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, directors, employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Counsel to the Holders and such underwriters, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation for purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; provided that as a condition to being provided any confidential information, any such Holder gaining access to information regarding the Company pursuant to this Section 8(c) shall agree to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company.

(d) notify each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed (except for any supplement as a result of the filing of a periodic report, current report or any other document required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act);

(e) with respect to any offering of Registrable Securities, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters for such Underwritten Offering, if any, without charge, such number of copies of the applicable Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, and any other Prospectus (including any Prospectus filed under Rule 424, Rule 430A or Rule 430B and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as such term is defined under Rule 433)), all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as such seller or such managing underwriters may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, and upon request, a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to or received from, the Commission or any other governmental authority relating to such offer;

(g) subject to Section 8(f), cause all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other federal or state governmental agencies or authorities as necessary upon the opinion of counsel to the Company or Counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to enable such Holder or Holders thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with their intended method of distribution thereof;

(h) with respect to any Underwritten Offering, obtain and, if obtained, furnish to each Holder that is named as an underwriter in such Underwritten Offering and each other underwriter thereof, a signed

(1) opinion of outside counsel for the Company (including a customary 10b-5 statement), dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and addressed to the underwriters, reasonably satisfactory (based on the customary form and substance of opinions of issuers’ counsel customarily given in such an offering) in form and substance to such underwriters, if any, and

(i) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and for which the Company chooses to suspend the use of the Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, at the written request of any such Holder, promptly prepare and furnish (at the Company’s expense) to it a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (subject to Section 6(d));

(j) notify the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement promptly of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information;

In addition, at least seven (7) Trading Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company shall notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder, in the form of the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date.

10.	Lockups.

(a) In connection with any Underwritten Takedown or underwritten registration pursuant to a Demand Registration Request or other underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company, except with the written consent of the underwriters managing such offering, no Holder shall effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities during the seven (7) days prior to, and the ninety (90)-day period (or such lesser period as the underwriters may agree) beginning on the date of, the final Prospectus filed in connection with such offering (as such period may be waived by the underwriters, the “Lockup Period”), except as part of such offering, provided, that such Lockup Period restrictions are applicable on substantially similar terms to the Company and all of its executive officers and directors as reasonably requested by the underwriters, and reasonably acceptable to the Majority Holders; provided that the Lockup Period shall include customary carve-outs, including that nothing herein shall prevent any Holder from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to any of its partners, members or stockholders thereof or a transfer of Registrable Securities to an Affiliate or Related Fund that is otherwise in compliance with the applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees or transferees, as applicable, agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 10(a) and so long as no public disclosure of such distribution is made. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lockup agreement in favor of the underwriters to such effect and, in any event, that the underwriters in any relevant offering shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10(a). The provisions of this Section 10(a) shall no longer apply to a Holder once such Holder ceases to hold Registrable Securities.

(b) In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of any of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, without prior written consent from the managing underwriter or underwriters, during the Lockup Period, except as part of such offering, provided, that such Lockup Period restrictions are applicable on substantially similar terms to the Majority Holders. The Company agrees to execute a customary lockup agreement in favor of the underwriters in any relevant offering to such effect and, in any event, that the underwriters in any relevant offering shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a public sale or distribution of securities of the type described above and during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is made pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor thereto, as part of any registration of securities of offering and sale to employees, directors or consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement or in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or direct stock purchase plan (or similar plan).

11.	Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, investment manager, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, investment manager, managers, stockholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees in connection with any third-party claims) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), to which any of them may become subject, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 8(i), related to the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 15(c) below, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice, the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 11(c)), shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Paragraph (a) of this Section 11 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its respective directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or

arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 8(i), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 15(c), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 11(c)), shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Holder may otherwise have.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party in its ability to defend such action.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that in the reasonable judgment of such counsel a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 11(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, with reasonable promptness after receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 11(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, 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 Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such 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.

12.	Section 4(a)(7), Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions; Rule 144 Assistance.

(a) With a view to making available to the Holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act, Rule 144 and Rule 144A and other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder of Registrable Securities to sell securities of the Company without registration, until such time as when no Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company covenants that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) if it is subject to the reporting requirement of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, or, (ii)

if it is not subject to the reporting requirement of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available information necessary to comply with Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act and Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if available, with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act and Rule 144 and Rule 144A (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (y) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

(b) The Company covenants that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell securities of the Company held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including causing the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends (including any electronic transfer restrictions) from such securities in connection with a sale under Rule 144 and providing or causing any customary opinions of counsel to be delivered to the transfer agent in connection with such removal as promptly as reasonably practical. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of the transfer agent associated with such issuance.

13. Transfer of Registration Rights. Any Holder may freely assign its rights hereunder on a pro rata basis in connection with any sale, transfer, assignment, or other conveyance (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”) of Registrable Securities to any transferee or assignee, including any Affiliate or Related Fund of any Holder; provided, that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (a) such Transfer is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees (i) in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement (including through the execution of a joinder hereto) and (ii) to provide the amount of any other Capital Stock of the Company beneficially owned by such transferee or assignee; and (c) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such Transfer, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned; provided further, that (i) any rights assigned hereunder shall apply only in respect of the Registrable Securities that are Transferred and not in respect of any other securities that the transferee or assignee may hold and (ii) any Registrable Securities that are Transferred may cease to constitute Registrable Securities following such Transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

14. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further instruments and documents and take all such further action as any other party hereto may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it shall comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in each Registration Statement.

(c) Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Grace Period or any event of the kind described in Section 8(i), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

(d) Number of Registrable Securities Outstanding. In order to determine the number of Registrable Securities outstanding at any time, and subject to Section 2(i) in all respects, upon the reasonable written request of the Company to Holders, each Holder shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such request, inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder owns and that the Company may conclusively rely upon any certificate provided under this Agreement for the purpose of determining the number of such Registrable Securities.

(e) No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Holders may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each of the Holders and the Company agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any of the Holder’s former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, financing sources, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (each, a “Related Party” and collectively, the “Related Parties”), in each case other than the current or former Holders or any of their respective assignees under this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable Proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of the Holders under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 15(e) shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of the Company or any current or former Holder, as such, for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such agreements, documents or instruments.

(f) Preservation of Rights. The Company shall not file a registration Statement for any equity securities (other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) prior to the time that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include securities in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, or in any Piggyback Offering on a basis that is on parity with or superior to, the Piggyback Offering rights granted to the Holders pursuant to Section 7.

(g) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, and the Company shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement and until this Agreement is terminated, into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or grants registration rights that have parity with or are more favorable than the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(h) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, however, that any party may give a waiver as to itself; provided further, however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, or waiver that disproportionately and adversely affects, alters, or changes the interests of any Holder shall be effective against such Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder; provided further, however, that neither (x) the definitions of “Holders” and “Registrable Securities” in Section 1 nor (y) this Section 15 may be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless in writing and signed by the Supermajority Holders; and provided further, that the waiver of any provision with respect to any Registration Statement or offering may be given by Holders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities entitled to participate in such offering or, if such offering shall have been commenced, having elected to participate in such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders holding a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(i) Notices. All notices and other communications in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent via electronic facsimile or email (with confirmation), mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or delivered by an express courier (with confirmation) at the following address (or at such other address as may be specified by like notice):

by its terms. No assignment or delegation of this Agreement by the Company, or any of the Company’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder, shall be effective against any Holder without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Holders; provided, further, however, that no such assignment or delegation that disproportionately and adversely affects, alters, or changes the interests of any Holder shall be effective against such Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder (other than an assignment in connection with the reincorporation of the Company or its businesses in another jurisdiction).

(k) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts and by way of electronic signature and delivery, each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same agreement.

(l) Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) to the extent such rules or provisions would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents and agrees that any action to enforce this Agreement or any dispute, whether such dispute arises in law or equity, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State Court sitting in New York City. The parties hereto consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert in any such dispute, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (i) such party and such party’s property is immune from any legal process issued by such courts or (ii) any litigation or other proceeding commenced in such courts is brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties hereby agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding to an address provided in writing by the recipient of such mailing, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and hereby waive any objections to service in the manner herein provided.

(m) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(n) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(o) Descriptive Headings; Interpretation; No Strict Construction. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. The words “include”, “includes” or “including” in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation”. The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, 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. All references to laws, rules, regulations and forms in this Agreement shall be deemed to be references to such laws, rules, regulations and forms, as amended from time to time or, to the extent replaced, the comparable successor thereto in effect at the time. All references to agencies, self-regulatory organizations or governmental entities in this Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the comparable successors thereto from time to time.

(p) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Securities offered by this prospectus may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders, or by their pledgees, donees, partners, members, transferees or other successors, in any one or more of the following ways:

•

directly to one or more purchasers in privately negotiated transactions;

•

through underwriters;

•

through ordinary brokerage transactions, or other transactions involving brokers, dealers or agents;

•

in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act;

•

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of the sale;

•

in the over-the-counter market;

•

through block trades (including crosses) in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the Securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

through the writing of options (including the issuance by the selling stockholders of derivative securities), whether the options or such other derivative securities are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

•

through short sales;

•

in hedging transactions;

•

through the distribution by a selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;

•

through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

•

by any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

Securities may also be exchanged pursuant to this prospectus for satisfaction of the selling stockholders’ obligations or other liabilities to their creditors. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers.

The prices at which the Securities offered by this prospectus are sold may include:

•

a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

•

prevailing market prices at the time of sale;

•

prices related to prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

•

varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

•

negotiated prices.

At the time a particular offering of the Securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the names of the selling stockholders, the aggregate amount of Securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders, (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed to be paid to broker-dealers, (4) any other offering expenses, (5) any securities exchanges on which the Securities may be listed, (6) the method of distribution of the Securities, (7) the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with the underwriters, brokers or dealers, and (8) any other material information.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities, and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Securities from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee. The list of selling stockholders may similarly be amended to include any donee, transferee or other successor of the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be “underwriters.” As a result, any profits on the sale of the Securities by selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholders were deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders may be subject to certain statutory liabilities as underwriters under the Securities Act.

The Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters or dealers to purchase the Securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all of the offered Securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or re-allowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

If Securities are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, each selling stockholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions applicable to the sale of such selling stockholder’s Securities.

Each selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of Securities to be made directly or through agents.

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

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Securities may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

We know of no existing arrangements between any selling stockholder, any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the Securities offered by this prospectus. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the Securities by the selling stockholders. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the Securities pursuant to this prospectus.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to provide customary indemnification to the selling stockholders. In addition, we have agreed to pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the registration of the Securities, including the payment of federal securities law and state “blue sky” registration fees excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the sale of Securities by the selling stockholders.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

This offering will terminate on the date that all of the Securities offered by this prospectus have been sold by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders may also sell Securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, rather than this prospectus, in each case if such exemption is available.
