(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the following paragraphs of this Section 3(a), one or more Shareholders shall have the right, by delivering or causing to be delivered a written notice to the Company, to require the Company to register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the offer, sale and distribution of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on Form S-3 (which, unless all Shareholders delivering such notice request otherwise, shall be (i) filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and (ii) if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing such registration statement with the SEC, designated by the Company as an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement), if the Company is then eligible for such short-form, or any similar or successor short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”) or, if the Company is not then eligible for such short form registration, on Form S-1 or any similar or successor long-form registration (“Long-Form Registrations”) (any such written notice, a “Demand Notice” and any such registration, a “Demand Registration”), as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of such Demand Notice, but, in any event, the Company shall be required to make the initial filing of the Registration Statement within 30 days following receipt of such Demand Notice in the case of a Short-Form Registration or within 90 days following receipt of such Demand Notice in the case of a Long-Form Registration; provided, however, that, unless a Shareholder requests to have registered all of its Registrable Securities, a Demand Notice for a Marketed Offering may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by such Shareholders is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission). Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement in accordance with such Demand Notice as promptly as reasonably practicable and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 3(a), and any Demand Notice delivered in connection therewith shall not count as a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 3(e), if (x) the Registration Statement relating thereto (and covering not less than all Registrable Securities specified in the applicable Demand Notice for sale in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution specified in such

4

Demand Notice) (i) does not become effective, or (ii) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3 or (y) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period or (z) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement, or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied other than as a result of the Shareholders’ actions.

All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method(s) of disposition thereof.

Except as otherwise agreed by all Shareholders with Registrable Securities subject to a Demand Registration, the Company shall maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration until such securities cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period upon which all Shareholders with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Company that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold.

Within five business days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 3(a), the Company shall deliver a written notice of any such Demand Notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), include in such Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (whether or not any of the Shareholders have exercised its, his or her conversion rights) within 10 business days after the date that such notice has been delivered; provided that such holders must agree to the method of distribution proposed by the Shareholders who delivered the Demand Notice and, in connection with any underwritten registration, such holders (together with the Company and the other holders including securities in such underwritten registration) must enter into an underwriting agreement in the form reasonably approved by the Company and the Shareholders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities.

(b) Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter(s) advise the holders of such securities in writing that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of such offering (including securities proposed to be included by other holders entitled to include such securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, pro-rata among the Shareholders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders;

5

(ii) second, pro-rata among any other holders entitled to include such securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to piggyback registration rights; and

(iii) third, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration, as the case may be, was requested by the Company.

No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter’s marketing limitations shall be included in such offering.

(c) Postponement of Demand Registration. The Company shall be entitled to postpone (but not more than once in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 75 days, the filing (but not the preparation) of a Registration Statement if the Company delivers to the Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by an executive officer certifying that such registration and offering would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (ii) materially interfere with any bona fide material financing, acquisition, disposition or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then under consideration. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The Shareholders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 6(o). If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the Shareholders requesting such registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within 10 days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered to the applicable Shareholders and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon such withdrawal, the withdrawn request shall not constitute a Demand Notice; provided that in the event such Shareholders do not so withdraw the request for registration, the Company shall continue to prepare a Registration Statement during such postponement such that, if it exercises its rights under this Section 3(c), it shall be in a position to and shall, as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable efforts to cause the effectiveness of the applicable deferred or suspended Registration Statement.

(d) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided, that such Demand Notice underlying such abandonment or withdrawal shall not be deemed to be a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 3(e) if such Demand Notice is abandoned or withdrawn in response to a material adverse change regarding the Company or a material adverse change in the financial markets generally.

(e) Number of Demand Notices. In connection with the provisions of this Section 3, the Shareholders collectively shall have (i) three Demand Notices in connection with Marketed Offerings, which they are permitted to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Company hereunder; provided, that in connection therewith the Company shall cause its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including participation in “road shows”), and (ii) three additional

6

Demand Notices (other than in connection with a Marketed Offering), which they are permitted to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Company hereunder; provided, that (A) in connection therewith the Company shall not be obligated to cause its officers to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and such officers will not be obligated to participate in any “road shows,” and (B) the Shareholders may not make more than two Demand Registration requests in any 365-day period.

Section 4. Piggyback Registration; Shelf Take Down.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Except with respect to a Demand Registration, the procedures for which are addressed in Section 3, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock, whether or not for sale for its own account and whether or not an underwritten offering or an underwritten registration (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing no later than five business days prior to the filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all of the holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request (each, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 4(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each a “Piggyback Request”) within 10 business days after notice has been given to the applicable holder. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a Piggyback Registration beyond the earlier to occur of (x) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the holders of the Registrable Securities (other than those making Piggyback Requests) included in such Registration Statement.

(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If any of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 4 are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities that such holders, the Company and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration, intend to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities in such offering, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, all securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account; (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 4, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the

7

percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and (iii) third, all other securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by other holders of securities entitled to include such securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to piggyback registration rights; provided that any Shareholder may, prior to the earlier of the (i) effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (ii) time at which the offering price and/or underwriter’s discount are determined with the managing underwriter(s), withdraw its request to be included in such registration pursuant to this Section 4.

(c) Shelf-Take Downs. At any time that a shelf registration statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 (or otherwise) is effective, if any Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (each, a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf registration statement (each, a “Shelf Offering”), then, the Company shall amend or supplement the shelf registration statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders pursuant to this Section 4(c)). In connection with any Shelf Offering, including any Shelf Offering that is a Marketed Offering:

(i) such proposing holder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities included on such shelf registration statement and permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the shelf registration statement in the Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing holder(s) and the Company within five days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and

(ii) if the Shelf Offering is underwritten, in the event that the managing underwriter(s) of such Shelf Offering advise such holders in writing that it is their good faith opinion that the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be included, then the managing underwriter(s) may limit the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be included in such Shelf Offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(b) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a registration;

provided, however, that each Shelf Offering that is a Marketed Offering initiated by a Shareholder shall be deemed to be a demand subject to the provisions of Section 3(a) (subject to Section 3(d)), and shall decrease by one the number of Demand Notices the Shareholders are entitled to pursuant to Section 3(e)(i).

Section 5. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities.

(a) If any registration pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement shall be in connection with any: (i) Marketed Offering (including with respect to a Shelf Offering pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof), the Company will cause each of its executive officers and directors to sign a customary “lock-up” agreement containing provisions consistent with those contemplated pursuant to Section 5(b); and (ii) underwritten offering (including with respect to a Shelf

8

Offering pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof), the Company will also not effect any public sale or distribution of any common equity (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity) (other than a registration statement (A) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (B) filed solely in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan) for its own account, within 90 days (plus, a then customary “booster shot” extension to the extent required to permit research analysts to publish research reports compliant with Rule 139 under the Securities Act pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711 (or a successor thereto)) after the date of the Prospectus for such offering except as may otherwise be agreed with the holders of the Registrable Securities in such offering.

(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees with all other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company in connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable, if requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such offering, it will not (i) subject to customary exceptions, effect any public sale or distribution of any of the Company’s securities (except as part of such underwritten offering), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another Person any of the economic consequences of owning Common Stock, or (ii) give any Demand Notice during the period commencing on the date of the Prospectus pursuant to which such underwritten public offering may be made and continuing for not more than 90 days after the date of such Prospectus (or Prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration), plus a then customary “booster shot” extension to the extent required to permit research analysts to publish research reports compliant with Rule 139 under the Securities Act pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711 (or a successor thereto). In connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, the Company, or, if Shareholders will be selling more Registrable Securities in the offering than the Company, Shareholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities shall be responsible for negotiating all “lock-up” agreements with the underwriters and, in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Shareholders agree to execute the form so negotiated; provided, that the form so negotiated is reasonably acceptable to the Company or the Shareholders, as applicable, and consistent with the agreement set forth in this Section 5 and that the Company’s executive officers and directors shall also have executed a form of agreement substantially similar to the agreement so negotiated, subject to customary exceptions applicable to natural persons.

Section 6. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 3 or Section 4, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of the securities and shall use its reasonable best efforts, as promptly as practicable to the extent applicable, to:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof or by the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof and in accordance with this Agreement, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein; provided,

9

however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) with respect to a Demand Registration to which the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement; and cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act;

(c) notify each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) if the Company has knowledge of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not

10

contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (which notice shall notify the selling holders only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material non-public information);

(d) prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably practicable;

(e) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and such holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 6(e) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

(f) furnish or make available to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and Prospectus supplements, if applicable, and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such holder, counsel or underwriter); provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic format;

(g) deliver to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities; provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic format (other than, in the case of a Marketed Offering, upon the request of the managing underwriters thereof for printed copies of any such Prospectus or Prospectuses); and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;

(h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify or cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such

11

registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such holders of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject but for this Agreement;

(i) cooperate with, and direct the Company’s transfer agent to cooperate with, the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely settlement of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including the preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) or book-entry (not bearing stop transfer instructions) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each holder of such Registrable Securities that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered by such holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement and, in connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the registration statement cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without restriction upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement;

(j) upon the occurrence of, and its knowledge of, any event contemplated by Section 6(c)(vi) above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchaser of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such that the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and the Prospectus will not contain 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

For the avoidance of doubt, failure of any holder of Registrable Securities to furnish the Company with such information as requested by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence shall relieve the Company of any obligation hereunder to include the applicable Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement with respect to which such information was requested.

Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees if such holder has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(c) (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(j), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; provided, however, that the time periods under Section 3 with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained shall automatically be extended by the amount of time the holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities.

It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

15

(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its Subsidiaries, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document, or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and to reimburse the Company, its Subsidiaries, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or any other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or action, subject to the immediately following proviso, settling any such Loss or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities or its authorized representatives expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (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, further, that the liability of such holder of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such selling holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or Proceeding, to, unless in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or 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 unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or

16

Proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable 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 8) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 8).

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable 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, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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 to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) 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 any such action, statement or omission.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 8(b) 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.

17

(e) 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.

Section 9. Rule 144. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, to the extent required from time to time to enable all holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144; and (ii) so long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding, furnish holders thereof upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company (except to the extent the same is available on EDGAR).

Section 10. Underwritten Registrations. In connection with any underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and managers shall be selected by the Shareholders holding the majority of Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration, including any Shelf Offering, initiated by such Shareholders, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of the Shareholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. 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 holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other holders of Registrable Securities may be given by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such holders pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(b) Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given if personally delivered, telecopied and confirmed, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight delivery service with proof of receipt maintained, at the following address (or any other address that any such party may designate by written notice to the other parties): If to the Company, to the address of its principal executive offices. If to any Shareholder, at such Shareholder’s address as set forth on the records of the Company. Any such notice shall, if delivered personally, be deemed received upon delivery; shall, if delivered by telecopy, be deemed received on the first business day following confirmation; shall, if delivered by overnight delivery service, be deemed received the first business day after being sent; and shall, if delivered by mail, be deemed received upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof or five business days after the date of deposit in the United States mail.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any Shareholder assigns some or all of its rights hereunder to deliver a Demand Notice or a Take-Down Notice to any permitted assignee, such Shareholder shall, if such rights to deliver Demand Notices or Take-Down Notices are subject to limitations pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 3(e) and the provisos to Section 4(c), no longer be entitled to exercise such rights, but only to the extent not assigned, and the exercise of such Demand Notice or Take-Down Notice by such assignee shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3(e) and the provisos to Section 4(c). Except as provided in Section 8 with respect to an Indemnified Party, nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, in or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed and delivered the same original document, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(e) Headings; Construction. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise: (i) pronouns in the masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa; (ii) the term “including” shall be construed to be expansive rather than limiting in nature and to mean “including, without limitation,”; (iii) references to sections and paragraphs refer to sections and paragraphs of this Agreement; and (iv) the words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including Exhibit A hereto, and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited.

19

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(g) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not supersede the transfer restrictions in that certain Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Purchaser.

(i) Securities Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the holders of such required percentage.

(j) Specific Performance; Further Assurances. The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach. The parties hereto agree that in the event the registrations and sales of Registrable Securities are effected pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States, such parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to give effect as closely as possible to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, taking into account customary practices of such foreign jurisdiction, including executing such documents and taking such further actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to carry out the foregoing.
