outstanding shares of Registrable Securities shall have the right to make a
written request from time to time (a “Demand Registration Request”) to the
Company for Registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by

effective under the Securities Act.

Section 3.1.2    Limitation on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be

Section 3.1.3    Demand Withdrawal. The Investors may withdraw all or any
portion of their Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from

Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer.

Section 3.1.5    Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration. If the filing,
initial effectiveness or continued use of a Demand Registration Statement at any
time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may,
upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Investors, delay the

Statement (a “Demand Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not
be permitted to exercise a Demand Suspension more than once during any twelve
(12)-month period for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days. In the case of a

in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase,
Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The

date as of which an Investor no longer holds Registrable Securities (such period

exercise a Shelf Suspension more than one time during any twelve (12)-month

to the Investors such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or
supplemented as the Investors may reasonably request. The Company shall, if
necessary, supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by
the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration Statement
or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities
Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be
requested by the Investors.

Underwritten Shelf Takedown if (x) the anticipated net proceeds from the

by the Investors was consummated within the preceding ninety (90) days.

Section 3.3    Piggyback Registration.

Registration Statement under the Securities Act or to conduct a Public Offering
with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for
the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration under Sections
3.1 or 3.2, (ii) a Registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form to
such forms or (iii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering
and sale to employees or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant
to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement), then, as
soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to
the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement or, in the case of a
Public Offering under a Shelf Registration Statement, the anticipated pricing or
trade date), the Company shall give written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) of
such proposed filing or Public Offering to the Investors, and such Piggyback
Notice shall offer the Investors the opportunity to register under such
Registration Statement, or to sell in such Public Offering, such number of
Registrable Securities as the Investors may request in writing (a “Piggyback

intention to register or sell any securities and prior to the effective date of
the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, or the
pricing or trade date of a Public Offering under a Shelf Registration Statement,
the Company determines for any reason not to register or sell or to delay the
Registration or sale of such securities, the Company shall give written notice
of such determination to the Investors and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a
determination not to register or sell, shall be relieved of its obligation to
register or sell any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration
or Public Offering (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses
in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any
Investor to request that such Registration or sale be effected as a Demand
Registration under Section 3.1 or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under
Section 3.2, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of a determination to
delay Registration or sale, in the absence of a request for a Demand
Registration or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as the case may be, shall be
permitted to delay registering or selling any Registrable Securities, for the
same period as the delay in registering or selling such other securities. The
Investors shall have the right to withdraw all or part of their request for

Piggyback Registration informs the Company and the Investors in writing that, in
its or their opinion, the aggregate number of securities that the Investors and
any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can
be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse
effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the
market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such
Registration shall be (i) first, one hundred percent (100%) of the securities
that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, and only if all the
securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the aggregate number of
the Investors’ Registrable Securities and any Registrable Securities (as defined

Registration Rights Agreement as of the date hereof) who have sought to include
such Registrable Securities in the proposed offering, on a pro rata basis based
on such aggregate number of such securities, that, in the opinion of such
managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse
effect and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referred
to in clause (ii) have been included in such Registration, any other securities

Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 3.3
shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or shall
relieve the Company of its obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 conducted as

Company held by such director, officer or affiliated fund or (b) entering into
any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic

other Person other than pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.6    Indemnification.

Section 3.6.1    Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Investors, each
shareholder, member, limited or general partner of any Investor, each
shareholder, member, limited or general partner of each such shareholder,
member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates,
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each
Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and against
any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of
investigation and legal expenses as incurred and any indemnity and contribution
payments made to underwriters ) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”)
arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such
Registrable Securities are registered or sold under the Securities Act
(including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by
reference therein) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries including any report and other document
filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) 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 a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or
inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other
document or report; provided, that the Investors shall not be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.6.1 in respect of any untrue
statement or omission contained in any information relating to any Investor
furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion
in a Registration Statement and used by the Company in conformity therewith
(such information “Selling Stockholder Information”). This indemnity shall be in
addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Investors or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer
of such securities by any Investor and regardless of any indemnity agreed to in
the underwriting agreement that is less favorable to the Investors. The Company
shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their
officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as
provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to the
indemnification of the indemnified parties.

Section 3.6.2    Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor shall
(severally and not jointly) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who
controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act) from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a
material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable
Securities were registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any
final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference
therein) or (ii) any omission to state therein a

 

- 16 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in such Investor’s Selling Stockholder Information. In no event shall
the liability of any Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the
offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such
Investor pursuant to Section 3.6.4 and any amounts paid by such Investor as a
result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related
to such sale.

Section 3.6.3    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
(provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent,
if at all, that it forfeits substantive legal rights by reason of such delay or
failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such
claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided,
however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the
right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of
such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the
defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such
claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has
reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal
defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or
in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the
reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a
conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party
with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel
at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party. No
indemnifying party shall 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 an unconditional release
from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior
written consent of such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability
for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may
not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or
parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 3.6.3, in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than
one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time
unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has
reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those
available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential
conflict

 

- 17 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party)
between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of
which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

Section 3.6.4    Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided
for in Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party or
insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a
result of exceptions or limitations on indemnification contained in
Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2), then the indemnifying party shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the
other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in
such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In
connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company,
the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified
party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any 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 indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not
be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.6.4 were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this
Section 3.6.4. 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. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the Losses referred to in Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3.6.4, in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the
Company, no Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the dollar amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in
the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such
Investor pursuant to Section 3.6.2 and any amounts paid by such Investor as a
result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related
to such sale. If indemnification is available under this Section 3.6, the
indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent
provided in Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 hereof without regard to the provisions of
this Section 3.6.4. The remedies provided for in this Section 3.6 are not
exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section 3.7    Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company shall file the
reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company
is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor,
make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to
permit sales that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement pursuant to
Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S

 

- 18 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), and it will take such
further action as any Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable the Investors to sell Registrable
Securities without Registration under the Securities Act in transactions that
would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement and within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the
Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any
Investor, the Company will deliver to the Investors a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics
thereof.

Section 3.8    Existing Registration Statements. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, the Company may
satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a
Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by
notice to each Investor, a Registration Statement that previously has been filed
with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant
Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all
references to any such obligation shall be construed accordingly; provided that
such previously filed Registration Statement may be, and is, amended or, subject
to applicable securities laws, supplemented to add the number of Registrable
Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to identify the Investors as selling
stockholders demanding the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement refers to the filing or
effectiveness of other Registration Statements, by or at a specified time and
the Company has, in lieu of then filing such Registration Statements or having
such Registration Statements become effective, designated a previously filed or
effective Registration Statement as the relevant Registration Statement for such
purposes, in accordance with the preceding sentence, such references shall be
construed to refer to such designated Registration Statement, as amended or
supplemented in the manner contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
