The Holders acknowledge and agree that the receipt of any such notice may constitute material non-public information regarding the Company and shall keep the existence and contents of any such notice confidential.

(c)Demand Registration Rights. If, at any time while there still remain Registrable Securities, the Company is no longer eligible to use or, notwithstanding its obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(a)(ii), otherwise ceases to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement, and a majority of the Holders deliver to the Company a written request to register the resale of a specified amount of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (a “Demand Notice”), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, within thirty (30) Trading Days after receipt of the Demand Notice, a Registration Statement, on an appropriate form which the Company is then eligible to use, to register the resale of such Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement will (if specified in the Demand Notice) contemplate the ability of the Holders to effect an Underwritten Offering in accordance with Section 2(b) (each such registration, a “Demand Registration”); provided, however, that the Holders shall not be entitled to request more than two (2) requests (whether for an Underwritten Offering or for a Demand Registration) in any twelve (12) month period.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as the lead Underwriter(s) may reasonably request in their efforts to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(e)Piggyback Registration. Subject to Section 3(a)(xii), if, at any time while there still remain Registrable Securities, the Company is no longer eligible to use or, notwithstanding its obligations under Section 2(a), a Shelf Registration Statement registering the Shares for resale is not effective, and the Company proposes to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock for the Company’s own account (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission) or with respect to a Company at-the-market offering program or Company dividend reinvestment or similar plans or for the sole purpose of offering securities to another entity or its security holders in connection with the acquisition of assets or securities of such entity or any similar transaction or a registration in which the only securities of the Company being registered are securities issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall so notify the Holders Upon a written request, given by a majority of the Holders to the Company within five (5) days after delivery of any such notice by the Company, to include Registrable Securities in such registration (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such new registration statement), the Company shall include

6

 


 

all such requested Registrable Securities in such new registration statement on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Company’s or such holder’s Common Stock (a “Piggyback Registration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after giving written notice of such proposed filing and prior to the effective date of such new registration statement, the Company or such holders shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed filing of the new registration statement, then the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and, thereupon, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such new registration statement.

(f)Reduction of Size of Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the lead Underwriter(s) of an Underwritten Offering that is a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2(e) advise the Company in writing that, in their reasonable opinion, the number of shares of Common Stock (including any Registrable Securities) that the Company, the Holders and any other Persons intend to dispose of pursuant to such Underwritten Offering is such that the success of any such Underwritten Offering would be materially and adversely affected, including with respect to the price at which the securities can be sold, timing and distribution, then such Underwritten Offering shall include only such securities as such lead Underwriter(s) has advised can be sold without such material and adverse effect, in accordance with the following priority in the case of such Underwritten Offering initiated by the Company for its own account which gives rise to a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2(e): (A) first, shares of Common Stock proposed to be offered by the Company for its own account, (B) second, pro rata among the Registrable Securities requested to be disposed of pursuant to the Underwritten Offering for the account of the Holders pursuant to Section 2(e), and (C) third pro rata among any other holders of shares of Common Stock requested to be disposed of, so that the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in any such offering for the account of all such Persons will not exceed the number recommended by such lead Underwriter(s), if any.

(g)Block Trades.

(i)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, but subject to the other terms of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is on file with the Commission, if the Holders wish to engage in an Underwritten Offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”), with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $7.5 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Holders, then such Holders only need to notify the Company of the Block Trade at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade; provided that the Holders wishing to engage in the Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade.

(ii)Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade, any Holder initiating such Block Trade shall have the right to submit a written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the registration

6.Indemnification.

(a)Indemnification by the Company. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement, the Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers, investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling Person (collectively, the “Holders Indemnitees”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any U.S. state securities or “blue sky” law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions or violations are based solely upon information regarding a Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 7(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the indemnification contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)Indemnification by Holders. The Holders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents, representatives or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or (ii) arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to

13

 


 

the extent, that such (1) untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by any Holder to the Company for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (2) such information relates to any Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. The indemnification contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 7(e) or the termination of this Agreement.

(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

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

(ii)An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interests between them (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

14

 


 

(iii)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including documented 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 6(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (which notice shall include the documentation corresponding to such fees and expenses), provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)Contribution.

(i)If the indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation

(ii)The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of any Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

(iii)The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

7.Rule 144. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to reasonably promptly furnish such Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take

15

 


 

such further action as any such Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Term. This Agreement shall terminate at the time which all Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with one or more Registration Statements.

(b)Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(c)Discontinued Disposition.  By its receipt of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v)(iii) through (vi) (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(i)), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed.

(d)Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and any provision hereof may be waived, in whole or in part, at any time pursuant to an agreement in writing executed by the Company and Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities at such time provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. Any failure by any party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof.

(e)Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(f)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities at such time.  Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons to the extent, and as permitted under, the Purchase Agreement.

16

 


 

(g)Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

(h)Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  The provisions of Sections 10.5 and 10.6 of the Purchase Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement.

(i)Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(j)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 commercially reasonable 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. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(k)Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
