4











  






 


(b) A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.01 will not be deemed to have been effected unless: (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC or has otherwise become effective under the 1933 Act and remains effective for not less than 180 days, or, if such Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters is required by law for the delivery of a Prospectus in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer; or (ii) it has been filed with the SEC but abandoned or withdrawn at the request of the Demand Holder prior to effectiveness, other than an abandonment or withdrawal requested because of: (A) the stock price of the Common Stock falling 15% or more since the delivery of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2.01, (B) a material adverse change in the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ financial condition, business, assets, results of operations and condition (financial or otherwise), taken as a whole, or (D) the discovery of materially adverse, non-public information concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.


 


(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 2.01(b):


 


(i) the Company shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement in respect of a Demand on more than one occasion;


 


(ii) a Holder may elect to withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.01 at any time, and if all such Holders do so, the Company shall cease its efforts to secure registration; and


 


(iii) all Demand registrations pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be on Form S−1, or on Form S-3 if the Company is then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3.


 


Section 2.02 .  Selection Of Underwriters.  If a registration pursuant to Section 2.01 involves an underwritten offering, the investment bankers, underwriters and managers for such registration shall be selected by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register; provided that such selection of investment bankers, underwriters and managers shall be subject to the reasonable approval by the Company.


 


Section 2.03 .  Piggyback Registration. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.03, if the Company proposes to register Equity Securities under the 1933 Act (other than (x) a registration under Section 2.01, (y) a registration on Form S−4 or S−8 or any successor form to such forms), involving the offering of such Equity Securities at any time, whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities of the same class of such Equity Securities for sale to the public under the 1933 Act, it will, at each such time, give prompt written, telephonic or e-mail notice (a “Piggyback Offering Notice”) to the Holders of: its intention to do so, the form on which the Company expects to effect such registration (e.g. Form S-1, Form S-3), the anticipated filing date with the SEC of such registration statement, the anticipated date that the registration statement will be declared or otherwise become effective, whether the offering is to be underwritten, in the case of Form S-3, the anticipated date and 


 




  





5











  




 


time that the offering will be made, and (unless all of the Holders’ Registrable Securities are then registered pursuant to Section 2.01) such notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the close of business on June 29, 2011, the Company proposes to register Equity Securities under the 1933 Act primarily for its own account, the Holders shall not have any right to participate in such registration pursuant to this Section 2.03.  The registration rights provided for in this Section 2.03 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, registrations made pursuant to Section 2.01.




 


(b) Subject to Section 2.03(c), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities which are requested to be included therein within 10 days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice.  If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.  If the offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration is to be an underwritten offering, then each Holder making a request for its Registrable Securities to be included therein must, and the Company shall make such arrangements with the underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such underwritten offering on the same terms as the Company and other Persons selling securities in such underwritten offering.  If the offering pursuant to such registration is to be on any other basis, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03 must participate in such offering on such basis.  Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to effectiveness of the Registration Statement.


 


(c) Subject to the terms hereof providing for the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed underwritten offering of a class of securities included in a Piggyback Registration (or in the case of a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten, the Company) informs the Holders of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration in writing that, in its or their opinion, the total amount or kind of securities which such Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class or classes of the securities offered or the market for the class or classes of securities offered, then the securities of each class to be included in such registration shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company proposes to sell;


 


(ii) second, and only if all the securities referenced in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities of such class that, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters (or in the case of a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten, the Company), can be sold without having such adverse effect shall be included therein, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the Holders which have requested participation in the Piggyback Registration (based, for each such Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable Securities of such class which such Holder has requested to include in such Piggyback Registration by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities of such class which all such Holders and all other Persons who then have right to participate in such Piggyback Registration under the 2008 Registration Rights Agreement have requested to include); and


 


(iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above have been included, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such registration shall be included therein.


 


Section 2.04 . Registration Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is required to effect a registration of any Registrable Securities as provided in this Agreement, the Company will:

(c) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.07 (an “Indemnified Party”) hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.07, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.07, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in any material respect by such failure to give notice.  In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such action or proceeding (in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor (but in no event will bear the expenses for more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction who shall, with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties, be approved by the majority of the participating Holders in the registration in respect of which such indemnification is sought), the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and shall have no liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  No indemnifying party will settle any action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement or judgment (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding and (ii) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnified Party and does not otherwise adversely affect such Indemnified Party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.  An Indemnified Party may not settle any action or proceeding or the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.


 


(d) (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.07 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Claim or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim or expenses, 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 to state a material fact, has been 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.  The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 2.07(d) as a result of the Claim and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any action or proceeding; and (ii) the parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in clause (i) above.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the parties under this Section 2.07 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.


 


Section 2.08.Selection of Counsel.  In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 or Section 2.03, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration; provided that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to the Company in connection with such registration, a majority of the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such remaining Holders.


 


Section 2.09. No Inconsistent Agreements; No Free Writing Prospectus.  Except for the factual matters disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to any legally binding written or oral contract, agreement, note, bond, indenture, mortgage, guarantee, option, lease (or sublease), license, sales or purchase order, warranty, commitment, or other instrument, obligation, arrangement or understanding of any kind which conflicts with or limits or prohibits the exercise of the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Article 2.  Each Holder agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and any such underwriter, it will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the SEC.
