(a) Filing.

(i) On or prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof (the “Company Filing Deadline”), the Company shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, subject to Section 2.1(a)(ii), such other appropriate form) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) pursuant to which all of the Shares sold at the Closing constituting Registrable Securities shall be registered for resale by such Holders (a “Shelf Registration”).

(ii) If Form S-3 is not available for the Shelf Registration Statement for the resale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

(b) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement(s) filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to be declared effective by the SEC or otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the date that is the earlier of (i) in the event that such Shelf Registration Statement (x) is not subject to a review by the SEC, sixty (60) calendar days after the earlier of (A) the Company Filing Deadline and (B) the date such Shelf Registration Statement was filed with the SEC and (y) is subject to a review by the SEC, ninety (90) calendar days after the earlier of (A) the Company Filing Deadline and (B) the date such Shelf Registration Statement was filed with the SEC and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the date the Company receives written notification from the SEC that such Shelf Registration(s) will not be reviewed (the “Initial Effectiveness Deadline”). The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement(s), including by filing any necessary post-effective amendments and Prospectus supplements and by filing one or more replacement or renewal Shelf Registration Statements upon the expiration of such Shelf Registration Statement(s), continuously until such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the date such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Additional Registrable Securities; Additional Selling Stockholders. At any time and from time to time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if a Holder of Registrable Securities requests (i) the registration under the Securities Act of additional Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) that such Holder be added as a selling stockholder in such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement to cover such additional Registrable Securities and/or Holder.

(d) Right to Effect Shelf Takedowns. Each Holder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Takedown”).

(e) Underwritten Offering. Any Holder or Holders intending to effect a Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration shall be entitled to request, by written notice to the Company (an “Underwritten Offering Notice”), that such Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration be an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”). The Underwritten Offering Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by such Holder(s) pursuant to the Underwritten Offering. The Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings during the term of this Agreement and shall not be required to facilitate an Underwritten Offering unless (i) in the case of the first Underwritten Offering, such offering is for the lesser of (a) expected aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5 million or (b) all of the remaining Registrable Securities of all Holders participating in such offer and (ii) in the case of the second Underwritten Offering, the Holder(s) participating in such Underwritten Offering request the inclusion in such Underwritten Offering of all of its or their remaining Registrable Securities (such amount, as applicable, the “Minimum Amount”).

(f) Selection of Underwriters. The Holder(s) requesting an Underwritten Offering shall have the right to select the investment banking firm(s) and manager(s) to administer such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, subject to the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g) Rule 415 Cutbacks. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the staff of the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Shelf Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the staff of the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give each Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, on the earliest practical date on which the Company is permitted by SEC Guidance to file such additional Shelf Registration Statement related to the Registrable Securities (the “Additional Filing Deadline”), one or more Registration Statement(s) on Form S-3 (or such other form available as provided in Section 2.1(a)(ii)) to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the initial Shelf Registration Statement and cause such Shelf Registration Statement(s) to be declared effective on or prior to the earlier of (i) in the event that such additional Shelf Registration Statement (x) is not subject to a review by the SEC, sixty (60) calendar days after the earlier of (A) the applicable Additional Filing Deadline and (B) the date such additional Shelf Registration Statement was filed with the SEC and (y) is subject to a review by the SEC, ninety (90) calendar days after the earlier of (A) the applicable Additional Filing Deadline and (B) the date such additional Shelf Registration Statement was filed with the SEC and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the date the Company receives written notification from the SEC that such additional Shelf Registration(s) will not be reviewed (the “Additional Effectiveness Deadline”). By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the date any such additional Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such additional Shelf Registration Statement.

(h) S-1 Demand Registrations. If the Company is not eligible to use a Form S-3 for the Shelf Registration, then, upon request from Holders of fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Registration Statement”) with respect to at least the Minimum Amount then the Company shall (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give written notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is delivered to the Company by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is delivered to such Holder (a “Form S-1 Filing Deadline”) and use its best efforts to cause such Form S-1 Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC or otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the date that is the earlier of (i) in the event that such Form S-1 Registration Statement (x) is not subject to a review by the SEC, sixty (60) calendar days after the earlier of (A) the applicable Form S-1 Filing Deadline and (B) the date such Form S-1 Registration Statement was filed with the SEC and (y) is subject to a review by the SEC, ninety (90) calendar days after the earlier of (A) the applicable Form S-1 Filings Deadline and (B) the date such Form S-1 Registration Statement was filed with the SEC and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the date the Company receives written notification from the SEC that such Form S-1 Registration(s) will not be reviewed (a “Form S-1 Effectiveness Deadline”), and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(e) (a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(h) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration. All provisions set forth in this Agreement with respect to Shelf Registration Statements shall apply, mutatis, mutandis, to the Form S-1 Registration Statements required to be filed hereunder (except to the extent expressly set forth in this Section 2.1(h)).

2.2 Provisions Relating to Registration.

(xvii) cooperate with the Holders of the Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and representing such number of shares of Common Stock and registered in such names as the Holders of the Registrable Securities may reasonably request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement if such Holder delivers a legal opinion and representation letter in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or its counsel stating that such sale is permitted to the extent such legal opinion or representation letter is required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System;

(xviii) not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities covered thereby and provide the applicable transfer agent with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; provided, that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System;

(xix) shall (A) permit one legal counsel to the Holders to review and comment upon statements regarding the Holders, their holdings, their intended methods of disposition and the description of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth in (i) a Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which such legal counsel reasonably objects, (C) not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of such legal counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld delayed or conditioned, (D) furnish to such legal counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by a Holder, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto and (E) shall reasonably cooperate with such legal counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement; and

(xx) otherwise use reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or reasonably advisable to effect the registration, marketing and sale of such Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement unless the Holder owning the Registrable Securities to be registered on the Registration Statement, following reasonable advance written request by the Company, furnishes to the Company, no later than seven (7) Business Days after the date on which the Company has given notice of the Company’s proposed filing of the Registration Statement, an executed stockholder questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of a Holder in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Holder has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Holder’s receipt of a notice by the Company suspending dispositions pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement and for which a Holder has not yet settled.

(d) Neither the Company nor any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof shall identify any Holder as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC or any trading market and any Holder being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Annex A to Exhibit A in the Registration Statement.

2.3 Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form approved by the Persons entitled under this Agreement to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

2.4 Registration Expenses

(a) The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses.

(b) The obligation of the Company to bear and pay the Registration Expenses shall apply irrespective of whether a registration, once properly demanded or requested, becomes effective or is withdrawn or suspended, including one (1) request by one or more Holder(s) to withdraw any Registration Statement; provided, that, after such first request by one or more Holder(s), the Registration Expenses for any Registration Statement withdrawn at the request of one or more Holder(s) shall be borne by such Holder(s).

2.5 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any Person who is or might be deemed to be a “controlling person” of the Holder or any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each such Person, a “Controlling Person”) and their respective direct and indirect general and limited partners, advisory board members, directors, officers, trustees, managers, members, employees, agents, Affiliates and shareholders, and each other Person, if any, who acts on behalf or controls any such Holder or Controlling Person (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof to which each Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any state blue sky securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof, in each case at the time such became effective under the Securities Act, or in the preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or other information that is deemed, under Rule 159 promulgated under the Securities Act to have been conveyed to purchasers of securities at the time of sale of such securities (“Disclosure Package”), in the Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Disclosure Package or any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse, as incurred, the Holder Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made or incorporated by reference in any such Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, any Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to a Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Party specifically for inclusion therein; and provided further, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Disclosure Package, where (A) such statement or omission had been eliminated or remedied in any subsequently filed amended prospectus or prospectus supplement (the Disclosure Package, together with such updated documents, the “Updated Disclosure Package”), the filing of which such Holder had been timely notified in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (B) such Updated Disclosure Package was available at the time such Holder sold Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, (C) such Updated Disclosure Package was not furnished by such Holder to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim, damage, liability, expense or action, or an underwriter involved in the distribution of such Registrable Securities, at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act, (D) the Updated Disclosure Package would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim, damage, liability, expense or action, and (E) the Updated Disclosure Package was provided to the Holder and the Holder failed to use such Updated Disclosure Package and such failure led to the loss, liability, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any Holder and the Company shall reimburse such Holder, and each such director, officer, employees, Affiliates and agents for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling and such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, employees, Affiliates and agents and shall survive the transfer by a Holder of such Registrable Securities.

(b) In connection with any registration in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, employees, agents and any Person who is or might be deemed to be a Controlling Person (a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses or any actions in respect thereof, to which a Company Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state blue sky securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof, in each case at the time such became effective under the Securities Act, or in any Disclosure Package, Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Disclosure Package or any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement, but in each of clauses (i) and (ii), only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein, and, subject to the limitation immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, Company Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action in respect thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder, or any such director, officer, employees, Affiliates and agents and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, employees, Affiliates and agents and shall survive the transfer by a Holder of such Registrable Securities, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and each such director, officer, employees, Affiliates and agents for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling and such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding.

(c) Promptly after receipt by a Holder Indemnified Party or a Company Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 2.5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Sections 2.5(a) or 2.5(b) unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof at the indemnifying party’s expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the indemnifying party); provided, that any Indemnified Party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim or action, with counsel of its own choice, but the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any fees, costs and expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such claim or action within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim or action, (iii) having assumed the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party fails to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or to pursue the defense of such claim or action in a reasonably vigorous manner, (iv) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (v) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it and/or other any other Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for any Indemnified Party in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising in the same jurisdiction out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim referred to in this Section 2.5 effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under Sections 2.5(a) or 2.5(b), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in Sections 2.5(a) or 2.5(b) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or a Holder or Holder Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim that is the subject of this Section 2.5(d). The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions were determined by pro rata allocation (even if a Holder was treated as one Person for such purpose) or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, in no event will a Holder be required to pay via indemnification or contribution an amount in excess of its net proceeds of sales of Shares under the Registration Statement. 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.

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

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

Annex A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

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

in the over-the-counter market;

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

short sales;

sales pursuant to Rule 144;

broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

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

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

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

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

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
