In case the Company shall receive from Purchasers a written request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of the Securities the aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $3,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Securities to be registered for the offering on such form and to cause such Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as the Purchasers may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one registration pursuant to this Section 3.7.1 in any twelve month period. If such offer is to be an underwritten offer, the underwriters must be acceptable to both the Purchasers and the Company. The Company shall inform the other parties to the extent required under the Rights Agreement, of the proposed registration and offer them the opportunity to participate. In the event the registration is proposed to be part of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the substantive provisions of Section 5.1(b) of the Rights Agreement shall be applicable to each such registration initiated under this Section 3.7.1. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 3.7.1: (i) Following the filing of, and for 180 days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to capital stock of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) Within twelve months after the Company has effected such a registration pursuant to this Section 3.7.1.3(a), and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or (iii) If the Company shall furnish to the Purchasers a certificate signed by the President of the Company (i) giving notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission, or (ii) stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company's obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred one or more times for a period not to exceed 180 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such -6- 11 Purchasers, provided that the Company may not exercise this deferral right and any other similar deferral right under the Rights Agreement more than once per twelve month period. 3.7.2 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Purchaser advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration and as to the completion thereof. The Company will: (a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement and such amendments and supplements as may be necessary and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least 90 days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been completed, whichever first occurs; provided, however, that such 90 day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to that which the Purchaser refrains from selling any securities at the request of any underwriter of the Company; and (b) Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities. 3.7.3 INDEMNIFICATION (a) The Company will indemnify each Purchaser, each of its officers and directors and partners, and each person controlling such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse each such Purchaser, each of its officers and directors, and each person controlling such Purchaser, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Purchaser or controlling person, and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity Agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any -7- 12 such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Purchaser , if a copy of the Final Prospectus was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act, and if the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to the loss, liability, claim or damage. (b) Each Purchaser will, if Securities held by such Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, other holders of the Company's securities covered by such registration statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Purchaser, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Purchaser of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Purchaser, and will reimburse the Company, such other Purchasers, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, but in the case of the Company or the other Holders or their officers, directors or controlling persons, only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Purchaser under this subsection 3.7.3(b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the initial public offering price of the shares sold by such Purchaser, unless such liability arises out of or is based on willful misconduct or fraud by such Purchaser. (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.7.3 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party -8- 13 shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. (d) 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. 3.7.4 INFORMATION BY HOLDER. The Purchaser or Purchasers of Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Purchaser or Purchasers, the Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Purchaser or Purchasers as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement. 3.7.5 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; (b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and (c) So long as a Purchaser owns any restricted Securities, to furnish to the Purchaser forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as the Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration. 3.7.6 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights granted pursuant to Section 3.7.1 of this Agreement shall terminate as to any Purchaser upon the earlier of (i) the date -9- 14 twelve years after the effective date of this Agreement and (ii) the date such Purchaser and its affiliates are able to immediately sell all shares of Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Purchaser and its affiliates under Rule 144 during any 90-day period. 3.7.7 DEFINITION.
