ARTICLE III
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
SECTION 3.01. Company Registration.
(a) Right to Piggyback on Registration of Stock. Subject to Section 3.01(c), if at any time or from time to time following the Qualified Public Offering the Company proposes to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with a public offering of such Common Stock on any form other than Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor forms or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use for such forms (a “Piggyback Registration”), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, the Company shall give each Stockholder written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposal (i) at least 10 days prior to the filing of the registration statement with the Commission in connection with such Piggyback Registration and (ii) within 10 Business Days after the Company’s receipt of any notice of an exercise of demand registration rights in accordance with Section 3.02. Upon the written request of any Stockholder (the “Piggyback Holder”) given within 10 Business Days after receipt of any Piggyback Notice, the Company shall cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities held by such Stockholder that the Stockholder has requested to be registered; provided, that if, at any time after the delivery of a Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of all such shares of Common Stock, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Piggyback Holder and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register any of such shares of Common Stock, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggyback Registration (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the registration expenses in connection therewith); and (y) in the case of a determination to delay the Piggyback Registration, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Piggyback Registration. No registration effected under this Section 3.01 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any Demand Registration under Section 3.02. The Company shall not include any Registrable Securities owned by any holder of the Company’s Capital Stock in the Qualified Public Offering unless the Stockholders are provided the right to include Registrable Securities in such Qualified Public Offering in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 3.01.
(b) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration involves an underwritten primary offering of the Company’s securities, the Board shall have the right to select any underwriter or underwriters to manage such Piggyback Registration.
| 4 |
(c) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. In the event that the Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Stockholders as part of the Piggyback Notice and the registration rights provided in Section 3.01(a) shall be subject to the condition that if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a Piggyback Registration advise the Company that in its or their opinion the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Piggyback Registration exceeds the number that can be sold without materially and adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing, distribution method or probability of success of the offering, the Company and the Stockholders, as the case may be, will include in such Registration only the number of Registrable Securities which, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, can be sold in such offering without such material adverse effect. Except in the case of a Demand Registration, which shall be governed by Section 3.02(f), the shares of Common Stock so included in such Piggyback Registration shall be apportioned as follows: (i) first, to any shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell and, (ii) second, pro rata among shares of the Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration, in each case according to the total number of shares of the Registrable Securities requested for inclusion by the Piggyback Holders, or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to among the Piggyback Holders.
SECTION 3.02. Demand Registration Rights.
(a) Right to Demand. Subject to Section 3.02(b) below, at any time that the Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act, one or more Stockholders (collectively, the “Demand Holder”) holding not less than 50% of the Registrable Securities held by all Stockholders, may make a written request, which request will specify the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be registered on Form S-3 (or such successor form) and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof (the “Request Notice”) to the Company for registration with the Commission under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities then owned by the Demand Holder (a “Demand Registration”).
The Company shall not be obligated to maintain a registration statement pursuant to a Demand Registration effective for more than (x) three years or (y) such shorter period when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto (the “Effectiveness Period”). Upon any such request for a Demand Registration, the Company will deliver any Piggyback Notices required by Section 3.01 and thereupon the Company will, subject to Section 3.01(c) and 3.02(f), use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the prompt registration under the Securities Act of:
(i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Demand Holder as contained in the Request Notice; and
(ii) all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by the Piggyback Holders;
all to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition of each seller of such Registrable Securities.
| 5 |
(b) Number of Demand Registrations. The Company will not be required to effect more than an aggregate of one Demand Registration.
(c) Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration if such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason (other than as a result of any act by the Demand Holder) and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the Demand Holder’s satisfaction.
SECTION 3.03. Registration Procedures. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article III that the Stockholders requesting inclusion in any Registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them, the Registrable Securities held by them, the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, and such agreements regarding indemnification, disposition of such Registrable Securities and other matters referred to in and consistent with this Article III, as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company (such intended method of distribution may include a distribution to, and resale by, the partners of the holders of any Registrable Securities). With respect to any Registration which includes Registrable Securities held by a Stockholder, the Company will, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02:
(a) As promptly as possible (in the case of a Demand Registration, no more than 30 days after the Company’s receipt of a Request Notice), prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on the appropriate form prescribed by the Commission for such intended method of disposition and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to counsel representing the Stockholders selling Registrable Securities under such Registration copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and reasonable comments of such counsel; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to maintain such Registration effective for a period longer than the Effectiveness Period;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to such registration statement and any documents required to be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of not less than the Effectiveness Period (but not prior to the expiration of the time period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable); cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act and comply with the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus;
| 6 |
(c) Promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the underwriter(s) or the Demand Holder reasonably request to be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplements or post-effective amendments as soon as practical after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such supplement or amendment;
(d) Furnish to such Stockholder, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, as such Stockholder may reasonably request, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as the Stockholder or underwriter or underwriters, if any, may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities being sold by the Stockholder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Stockholder covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto);
(e) Notify such Stockholder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the investors of such securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(f) Provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of the Registration and provide the applicable transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities with printed certificates representing the Registrable Securities that are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depositary Trust Company not later than the effective date of the registration statement;
(g) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of securities pursuant to such registration statement, on any national securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or proposed to be listed by the Company, if any, or, failing that, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such securities with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority;
(h) At any time that a shelf registration statement covering Registrable Securities is effective, upon receipt of a notice from a Stockholder stating that it intends to transfer all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf registration statement, amend or supplement the shelf registration statement as may be necessary to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to such shelf registration statement;
| 7 |
(i) After the filing of a registration statement, (i) notify each Stockholder holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission and of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction, (ii) take all reasonable actions to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the qualification of any Registrable Securities at the earliest possible moment, and (iii) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, and independent accountants to supply all such information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(j) In connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration, give each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, the underwriter(s) and their respective counsel, accountants and other representatives and agents the opportunity to participate in the preparation of each registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto and comparable statements under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction and give each of the foregoing Persons access to the books and records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries and such opportunities to discuss the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries with the respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and supply all other information and respond to all other inquiries requested by such holders, underwriter(s), counsel, accountants and other representatives and agents as shall be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of such holders or underwriter(s), to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Company shall not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or supplement thereto to which such holder or such underwriter(s) shall object;
(k) Cause its employees to participate in “road shows” and other presentations as reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such Registration;
(l) Deliver promptly to counsel representing the Stockholders selling Registrable Securities under such Registration and each underwriter, if any, participating in the offering of the Registrable Securities, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors, and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to such Registration; and
| 8 |
(m) On or prior to the date on which the registration statement is declared or otherwise becomes effective, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify, and cooperate with such underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, the securities covered by the registration statement for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, requests in writing, to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the Effectiveness Period and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement; provided, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, and (ii) enter into and perform its obligations under such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Request Notice, in the case of a Demand Registration, or the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including effecting a stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, or reorganization);
(n) Otherwise use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
The Stockholders, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (e) of this Section 3.03, will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until the Stockholders’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) of this Section 3.03 or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, each Stockholder will, or will request the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to, deliver, to the Company (at the Company’s sole expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Stockholder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
No holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company, other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s ownership of and title to the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and its intended method of distribution and any liability of any such holder under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to liability arising from breach of its representations and warranties therein and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net amount received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
| 9 |

(a) Subject to Section 3.04(b), in the case of any Registration, all expenses incurred by the Company in performing or complying with its obligations pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 of this Agreement, including all Commission and stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority registration and filing fees and expenses, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), rating agency fees, printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

SECTION 3.05. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder, the underwriters selling such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities and their respective officers, directors, Affiliates and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any of them, including any general partner or manager of any thereof, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees and disbursements) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in which such Stockholder participates in an offering of Registrable Securities or in any document incorporated by reference therein or any 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 prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating such loss, claim, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information with respect to such Stockholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Stockholder expressly for use therein. The indemnification provided under this Section 3.05(a) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities.
| 10 |
(b) Indemnification by the Stockholders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Stockholder is participating, each such Stockholder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits with respect to such Stockholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus covering the Registrable Securities of such Stockholder and to the extent permitted by law agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the Company, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with the information or affidavit with respect to such Stockholder so furnished in writing by such Stockholder expressly for use in the registration statement or prospectus; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Stockholders and the liability of each such Stockholder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received by such Stockholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.05(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Stockholder. The Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (i) the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by such holder and its Affiliates, (ii) the name and address of such holder and (iii) any additional information about such holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) required by law or regulation to be disclosed in any such document.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice; provided, that any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to any other party or to such indemnified party other than pursuant to this Section 3.05. No indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of such indemnified party, which 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 of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.05 is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.05 or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the preceding clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the preceding clause (i) but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of any such Stockholder be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds received by such Stockholder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.05 had been available.
SECTION 3.06. Holdback Agreements.
(a) Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act in an underwritten offering for its own account (other than on Form S-4 or S-8 or any similar successor form or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use of such forms) or is required to use its reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, upon the request of the managing underwriter of such offering, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, without the consent of the managing underwriter for such offering, not to effect any sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or to request registration under Section 3.02 of any Registrable Securities for the time period reasonably requested by the managing underwriter for the underwritten offering; provided, that in no event shall such period exceed 180 days (the “Lock-up Period”) after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such Registration, except (i) as part of such Registration or (ii) in the case of a private sale or distribution, unless the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to this Section 3.06. If requested by such managing underwriter, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute a holdback agreement, in customary form, consistent with the terms of this Section 3.06(a); provided, that the form of the lock-up shall be substantially identical as to each similarly situated Stockholder; provided, further, that if the Company releases any holder of Registrable Securities from such holdback agreement, it shall similarly release all other holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder shall be subject to a Lock-up Period in excess of 180 days in any calendar year due to the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.02.
| 12 |
(b) The Company agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of any of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such equity securities within the Lock-up Period (except as part of such underwritten Registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8, S-4 or any successor forms thereto), except that such restriction shall not prohibit any such sale or distribution after the effective date of the registration statement (i) pursuant to any stock option, warrant, stock purchase plan or agreement or other benefit plans approved by the Board to officers, directors or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act; or (iii) as consideration to any third party seller in connection with the bona fide acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of the assets or securities of any Person in any transaction approved by the Board. In addition, upon the request of the managing underwriter, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or issued at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than any such securities acquired in a public offering), to agree not to effect any such public sale or distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such registration if permitted, and to cause each such holder to enter into a similar agreement to such effect with such managing underwriter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be subject to a Lock-up Period in excess of 180 days in any calendar year due to the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.02.
SECTION 3.07. Participation in Registrations. No Stockholder may participate in any Registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Stockholder (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (provided, that such underwriting arrangements shall not limit any of such Stockholder’s rights under this Agreement), and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
SECTION 3.08. Rule 144. The Company shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and it will take such further action as any holder may reasonably request to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act as permitted by (i) Rules 144 under the Securities Act, or (ii) any similar rules or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company, at the holder's own expense, will deliver to such holder: (x) a written statement as to whether it has complied with the requirements that would make the exemption provided by such Rule or Rules available to such holder (and such holder shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of such written statement); (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and (z) such other reports and documents as such holder may reasonably request in order to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell Registrable Securities without registration.
