     2. Registration Rights.

          2.1 Piggyback Registration.

               (a) Whenever the Company proposes to register (whether for its own benefit or on behalf of
other stockholders of the Company) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in
connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash pursuant to a Registration
Statement, the Company will, prior to such filing, give written notice to all Stockholders of its
intention to do so; provided, that no such notice need be given if no Registrable Shares are to be
included therein as a result of a written notice from the managing underwriter pursuant to Section
2.1(c). Upon the written request of a Stockholder or Stockholders given within ten (10) days after
the Company provides such notice and, subject to the terms of Section 2.1(b), the Company shall
cause to be included in such registration all Registrable Shares that the Company has been
requested by such Stockholder or Stockholders to be registered under the Securities Act;
provided that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration
effected pursuant to this Section 2.1 without obligation to any Stockholder.

               (b) The right of any Stockholder to include its Registrable Shares in such registration
pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be conditioned upon (i) such Stockholder’s participation in such
underwriting on the terms set forth herein and (ii) all Stockholders including Registrable Shares
in such registration shall enter into an underwriting agreement upon customary terms with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting by the Company. If any Stockholder who
has requested inclusion of its Registrable Shares in such registration, as provided above,
disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect, by written notice to the
Company, to withdraw its shares from such Registration Statement and underwriting.

               (c) If a registration subject to Section 2.1 relates to an underwritten public offering of
equity securities and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company that in

3

 

their good faith opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a
price range acceptable to (A) the Company, in the event of a Company-initiated registration or (B)
the stockholders initially requesting such registration, in the event of a stockholder-initiated
registration, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to
be included therein by the Company if the Company has initiated the registration, (ii) second, the
shares requested to be included in such registration by the stockholders initially requesting such
registration and (iii) third, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration
by other Stockholders, allocated pro rata among such Selling Stockholders on the basis of the
number of shares of Registrable Shares such Selling Stockholder requested be included in such
registration.

          2.2 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares, the Company
shall, subject to Section 2.1:

               (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such
Registrable Shares and use its best efforts to (i) cause that Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable and (ii) keep such registration statement effective until the
distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed;

               (b) prepare and promptly file with the Commission any amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith and such free writing
prospectuses under Rule 433 under the Securities Act (each, a “Free Writing Prospectus”) included
in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act;

               (c) furnish to each Selling Stockholder such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus,
including any preliminary prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act;

               (d) notify each Selling Stockholder at any time during which a Prospectus relating to the
offering of the Registrable Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (and until
the closing of the offering of any shares thereby) of the occurrence of any event as a result of
which any Prospectus contains an untrue statement of material fact, or omits any material fact
necessary to make the statements that were made not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, and at the request of any Selling Stockholder, use commercially reasonable
efforts to prepare and file a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter
supplemented and/or amended, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of material fact,
or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements that were made not misleading in light
of the circumstances under which they were made

               (e) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the
Registration Statement under the securities or Blue sky laws of such states as the Company
reasonably determines; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in
connection with this paragraph (e) to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general

4

 

consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or to amend its organizational documents in
a manner that the Board of Directors determines is inadvisable;

               (f) cause all such Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

               (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Shares not later than the
effective date of such Registration Statement;

               (h) make available for inspection by the Selling Stockholders, any managing underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney or
accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the Selling Stockholders,
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and
cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in
connection with such Registration Statement;

               (i) notify each Selling Stockholder, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the
time when such Registration Statement has become effective or a supplement to any Prospectus
forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed;

               (j) promptly notify each Selling Stockholder of any (i) request by the Commission for any
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) notification to
the Company by the Commission of its initiation of any proceeding with respect to the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or
(iii) receipt by the Company from the Commission or any state securities authority 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; and

               (k) in the event of an underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering.

          2.3 Allocation of Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses for all
registrations under this Agreement, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and
qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto.

          2.4 Indemnification and Contribution.

               (a) In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
permitted by law each Selling Stockholder, each underwriter of such Registrable Shares, and each
other person, if any, who controls such Selling Stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Selling Stockholder, underwriter or

5

 

controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state
securities or blue sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such
Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or
Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, any Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement to any of the foregoing, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the Registration Statement or the
offering contemplated thereby; and the Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder, underwriter
and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Selling Stockholder, underwriter or controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made
in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, or
any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to
the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder, underwriter or controlling
person specifically for inclusion therein.

               (b) In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and
hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company, each of its directors and
officers and each underwriter (if any) and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any
such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, such directors and
officers, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange
Act, state securities or Blue sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which
such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus,
Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, if and to the extent (and only to the extent) that the statement or omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Selling Stockholder furnished
in writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in such
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, Prospectus, amendment, supplement or Free Writing
Prospectus; provided, however, that the obligations of a Selling Stockholder
hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Selling Stockholder of
Registrable Shares sold in connection with such registration.

6

 

               (c) Each Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom; provided, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense
of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and, provided, further, that the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.4 except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by such failure. The Indemnified Party may participate in
such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall pay such expense if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that representation of
such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided further that in no event
shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the expenses of more than one law firm per
jurisdiction as counsel for the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party also shall be
responsible for the expenses of such defense if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume
such defense. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except
with the consent of each Indemnified Party, 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, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or
litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

               (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances for which the
indemnification provided for in this Section 2.4 is due in accordance with its terms, but for any
reason is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages
and liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may be subject in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and
each Selling Stockholder, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact related to information supplied by the Company or a Selling Stockholder and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.4(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 above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4(d), (i) in no
case shall any one Selling Stockholder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the net
proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the offering of Registrable Shares and (ii) the
Company shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of any Selling
Stockholder liability referred to in (i) above;

7

 

provided, however, that 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. Any party entitled to
contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or
proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against
another party or parties under this Section 2.4(d), notify such party or parties from whom
contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom
contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may
have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 2.4(d). No party shall be liable for contribution
with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

               (e) The rights and obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section
2.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

          2.5 Information by Holder. Each holder of Registrable Shares included in any
registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such holder and the
distribution proposed by such holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall
be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this
Agreement.

          2.6 Confidentiality of Notices. Any Stockholder receiving any written notice from the
Company regarding the Company’s plans to file a Registration Statement shall treat such notice
confidentially and shall not disclose such information to any person other than as necessary to
exercise its rights under this Agreement.

          2.7 Rule 144 Requirements. The Company agrees to:

               (a) make and keep current public information about the Company available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

               (b) use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

               (c) furnish to any holder of Registrable Shares upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and
(iii) such other reports and documents of the Company as such holder may reasonably request to
avail itself of any similar rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any such
securities without registration.

          2.8 Form S-3. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
its eligibility to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Commission until such time as
the Company’s obligations to register the Registrable Shares under Section 2.1 have been terminated
pursuant to Section 2.9.

8

 

          2.9 Termination. All of the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Shares
under Section 2.1 shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) four (4) years following the date of
this Agreement, (b) the date on which no Stockholder holds any Registrable Shares, or (c) a Company
Sale.

     3. General.

          3.1 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

          3.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions
thereof), as to all other matters.

prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

          3.5 Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall not be assignable or
