organization duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
(where relevant) under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in
which the character of its properties or the nature of its business
requires such qualification, except where such failures of such
Subsidiaries to be so organized or existing, or of the Company or
its Subsidiaries to be in good standing or to have such power and
authority or to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.2           Capitalization.

 

(a)           As
of the date of this Agreement, the authorized shares of capital
stock of the Company consist of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock
and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2017,
(i) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
15,615,558, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to outstanding options and other rights to acquire Common
Stock was 2,730,590 and the total number of shares of Common Stock
maintained for future issuance under the Company’s Benefit
Plans (exclusive of outstanding options and other rights to acquire
Common Stock) was 466,563 and (ii) no shares of Preferred Stock or
options or rights to acquire Preferred Stock were outstanding.
Since December 31, 2017 through the date hereof, (i) the Company
has only issued options or other rights to acquire Common Stock in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and
(ii) the only shares of capital stock issued by the Company were
pursuant to outstanding options and other rights to purchase Common
Stock. All such issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable, have been issued in
compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and were not
issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive, co-sale or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No
dividends have been declared or paid with respect to the shares of
Common Stock. There are no securities
or instruments containing anti-dilution provisions that will be
triggered by the issuance of the Securities.

 

(b)           As
of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in Section
3.2(a), and except for pursuant to the Company’s Benefit
Plans, there are no existing options, warrants, calls, preemptive
(or similar) rights, subscriptions or other rights, agreements or
commitments obligating the Company to issue, transfer or sell, or
cause to be issued, transferred or sold, any capital stock of the
Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
capital stock, and there are no outstanding contractual obligations
of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of
its shares of capital stock.

6

 

 

 

 

3.3           Registration
Rights. Except as set
forth in the Transaction Agreements, the Company has not granted to
any Person the right to require the Company to register shares of
Common Stock on or after the date of this Agreement.

 

3.4           Authorization.
The Company has all requisite corporate power to enter into the
Transaction Agreements and to carry out and perform its obligations
under the terms of the Transaction Agreements. All corporate action
on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and
stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Securities, the
authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein has been taken. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Company, the
issuance of the Securities and the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated herein do not require any approval of the
Company’s stockholders. Assuming this Agreement constitutes
the legal and binding agreement of the Purchasers, this Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to
or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). Upon their respective execution by
the Company and the other parties thereto and assuming that they
constitute legal and binding agreements of the other parties
thereto, the Registration Rights Agreement will constitute a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

 

3.5           Valid
Issuance. The Securities
being purchased by the Purchasers hereunder will, upon issuance
pursuant to the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to the accuracy of the
representations made by the Purchasers in Section 4 hereof, the
Securities will be issued to the Purchasers in compliance with
applicable exemptions from (i) the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) the
registration and qualification requirements of applicable
securities laws of the states of the United States. The Company
satisfies the registrant requirements for the use of a registration
statement on Form S-3 to register the Securities for resale by the
Purchaser under the Securities Act.

7

 

 

 

3.6           No
Conflict. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the
Company, the issuance of the Securities and the consummation of the
other transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) violate any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Company, (ii) conflict with or result in any violation of or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under,
or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation, a change of control right or to a
loss of a benefit under any agreement or instrument, credit
facility, franchise, license, judgment, order, statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulations, applicable to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets,  or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any
court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject
(including federal and state securities laws and regulations) and
the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to
which the Company or its securities are subject, or by which any
property or asset of the Company is bound or
affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.7           Consents.
No consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of or
registration with, any court or governmental agency or body is
required in connection with the transactions contemplated herein,
except such as have been or will be obtained or made under the

required under the securities, or blue sky, laws of any state or
foreign jurisdiction in connection with the offer and sale of the
Securities by the Company in the manner contemplated
herein.

 

3.8           SEC
Reports; Financial Statements.

 

(a)           The
Company has filed all required registration statements,
prospectuses, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since December
31, 2014. The information contained or incorporated by reference in
the SEC Reports was true and correct in all material respects as of
the respective dates of the filing thereof with the SEC (or if
amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this
Agreement, then on the date of such filing); and, as of such
respective dates, the SEC Reports did not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. All of the SEC Reports, as of their respective
dates, complied as to form in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(b)           The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports
(collectively, the “Financial

the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the dates indicated, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified, all in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”) throughout the periods
therein specified (except as otherwise noted therein, and in the
case of quarterly financial statements except for the absence of
footnote disclosure and subject, in the case of interim periods, to

conducted or reasonably expected to be conducted
(“Company Intellectual
Property”).

 

(b)           To
its knowledge, the Company (together with its Subsidiaries) solely
and exclusively owns or has obtained valid and enforceable licenses
for, free and clear of all liens or encumbrances, all Intellectual
Property necessary for its business as now conducted and currently
proposed to be conducted, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the
conduct of its current and proposed business does not infringe or
misappropriate, in any material respect, any Intellectual Property
of any third party. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
have received any written communications of any alleged
infringement, misappropriation or breach of any Intellectual

order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere
with the use of such employee’s or independent
contractor’s best efforts to promote the interest of the
Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as
now conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement
nor the conduct of the Company’s business as now conducted or
as proposed to be conducted, will, to the Company’s
knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee or
independent contractor is now obligated. The Company does not
believe it is or will be necessary to use any Intellectual Property
of any of its employees made prior to their employment by the
Company.

would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, domain
names, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other
proprietary rights of any other person or entity and the Company is
not aware of any potential basis for such an allegation or of any
specific reason to believe that such an allegation may be
forthcoming. There are no orders, settlement agreements or
stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which the

licenses, the Company is in compliance with the terms of any such
licenses and the Company is not required (and, even if it
distributed its software, would not be required) under any such
license to (a) make or permit any disclosure or to make available
any source code for its (or any of its licensors’)
proprietary software or (b) distribute or make available any of the
Company’s proprietary software or Intellectual Property (or
to permit any such distribution or availability).

 

(f)           Except
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or,
to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit,
proceeding or claim by others: (A) challenging the Company’s
rights in or to any Company Intellectual Property, and the Company
is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any
such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (B) challenging the

Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form
a reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or

are valid, and all claims in such patents and pending patent
applications are entitled to the priority claims made. To the
Company’s knowledge, no granted patents or pending patent
applications of the Company Intellectual Property violate the Paris
Convention Treaty. To the knowledge of the Company, all patents and
pending patent applications of the Company Intellectual Property
claim priority to all applicable prior filed and/or co-pending
patent applications.

 

(i)           Except
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company has taken
reasonable and customary actions to protect its rights in, and to
prevent the unauthorized use and disclosure of, material trade
secrets and confidential business information (including
confidential ideas, research and development information, know-how,
formulas, compositions, technical data, designs, drawings,
specifications, research records, records of inventions, test

required to have been filed (or extensions have been duly obtained)
and have paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except

4.           Representations

Such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and
has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted.

Such Purchaser has all requisite corporate or similar power to

Conflict. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by such
Purchaser, the issuance of the Securities in accordance with their
terms and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated
hereby will not conflict with or result in any violation of or
default by such Purchaser (with or without notice or lapse of time,
or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, a change of control
right or to a loss of a material benefit under (i) any provision of
the organizational documents of such Purchaser or (ii) any
agreement or instrument, credit facility, franchise, license,
judgment, order, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulations,
applicable to such Purchaser or its respective properties or
assets, except, in the case of clause (ii), as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to
materially delay or hinder the ability of such Purchaser to perform
its obligations under the Transaction Agreements (a
“Purchaser Adverse
Effect”).

16

 

 

 

 

4.4           Consents.
All consents, approvals, orders and authorizations required on the

have been obtained or made, other than such consents, approvals,
orders and authorizations the failure of which to make or obtain,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to have a Purchaser Adverse Effect.

of Litigation. There is no
action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry pending or, to
such Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened by or before any
governmental body against such Purchaser which, individually or in
the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser
Adverse Effect, nor are there any orders, writs, injunctions,
judgments or decrees outstanding of any court or government agency
or instrumentality and binding upon such Purchaser that would
reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Adverse
Effect.

Securities, or any beneficial interest therein in the United States
or to or for the account of a U.S. person; and

the foregoing, the Securities may be offered and sold by the holder

18

 

 

 

 

(e)           Such

(f)           Such
Non-U.S. person: (i) is domiciled and has its principal place
of business outside the United States; (ii) certifies it is
not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Securities for the
account or benefit of any U.S. person; and (iii) at the time

the time of offering to such Non-U.S. person and communication of

Agreement, the Non-U.S. person or persons acting on Non-U.S.
person’s behalf in connection therewith were located outside
the United States.

 

(h)           Such
Non-U.S. person is not a “distributor” (as defined in

4.9           Investment
Representations, Warranties and Covenants by United States
Persons. Each Purchaser, other than Purchasers who are a
Non-U.S. person (as that term is defined in Section 4.8(c)), hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that, it (i) is an
“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule
501(a) under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities
Act; or (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be able to protect its own interests in
connection with an investment in the Shares. Each Purchaser further
represents and warrants that (x) it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risk of such investment, and (y) that it has not been
organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities

 

4.10           Intent.  
Each Purchaser is purchasing the Securities solely for investment
purposes, for the Purchaser’s own account, and not with a
view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. Each
Purchaser has no present arrangement to sell the Securities to or
through any person or entity. Each Purchaser understands that the
Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Securities are
resold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities
Act or an exemption from registration is available.

19

 

 

 

4.11           Investment
Experience. Each Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s
professional advisors, have such knowledge and experience in
finance, securities, taxation, investments and other business
matters as to evaluate investments of the kind described in this
Agreement. By reason of the business and financial experience of
such Purchaser or his or her professional advisors (who are not
affiliated with or compensated in any way by the Company or any of
its affiliates or selling agents), such Purchaser can protect his
or her own interests in connection with the transactions described
in this Agreement. Each Purchaser is able to afford the loss of
his, her or its entire investment in the Securities.

 

4.12           Securities
Not Registered;
Legends

 

. Such
Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the
Company in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, and that the Securities must continue to be
held by such Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is
registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such
registration and in each case in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States. Such Purchaser
understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule
144 (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the
Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various conditions
including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the
holding period and on requirements relating to the Company which
are outside of the Purchaser’s control and which the Company
is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy, and that, if
applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited
amounts.

 

Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, understands that the
Securities may bear one or more legends in substantially the
following form and substance:

 

Investment

“THESE
SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED TO INVESTORS WITHOUT REGISTRATION WITH

ACT”). TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS PROHIBITED, EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT
BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES
ACT.”

In
addition, stock certificates representing the Securities may
contain a legend regarding affiliate status of the
Purchasers.

 

4.13           Reliance
by the Company. Such Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company will rely upon the truth and accuracy

warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of such
Purchaser set forth herein.

 

4.14           Ownership

5.           Covenants

 

5.1           Further
Assurances. Each party agrees
to cooperate with each other and their respective officers,
employees, attorneys, accountants and other agents, and, generally,
do such other reasonable acts and things in good faith as may be
necessary to effectuate the intents and purposes of this Agreement,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof and compliance with
applicable law, including taking reasonable action to facilitate
the filing of any document or the taking of reasonable action to
assist the other parties hereto in complying with the terms
hereof.

 

5.2           Board
Designee

 

21

 

 

(a)           Sailing
shall have the right to nominate pursuant to the terms and subject
to the conditions of this Section 5.2 one nominee to the Board of
Directors (the “Board
Designee”). Such nominee shall (i) be qualified and
suitable to serve as a member of the Board of Directors under all
applicable corporate governance policies or guidelines of the
Company and the Board of Directors and applicable legal, regulatory
and stock market requirements, (ii) meet the independence
requirements with respect to the Company of Section 5605(a)(2) of
the Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange on
which the Common Stock may be listed in the future, and (iii) be
acceptable to the Board of Directors (including the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors) in its
good faith discretion. The Board of Directors and the appropriate
committees of the Board of Directors shall conduct the
consideration of the qualifications, suitability and independence
of a Board Designee, and make any determinations with respect
thereto, in a manner consistent with considerations and
determinations in respect of other members of the Board of
Directors. Sailing will take all necessary action to cause any
nominee for Board Designee to make himself or herself reasonably
available for interviews, to consent to such reference and
background checks or other investigations and to provide such
information (including information necessary to determine the
nominee’s independence status under various requirements and
institutional investor guidelines as well as information necessary
to determine any disclosure obligations of the Company) as the
Board of Directors or its Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee may reasonably request; provided, that in each such case, all
interviews, investigations and information is generally required to
be delivered to the Company by the outside directors of the
Company. As of the date hereof, Sailing has designated Bosun S. Hau
as a nominee for Board Designee and therefore, no action by the
Company and no adjustment to the Board of Directors will be
required as of the Closing. Provided that the Board Designee then
meets the requirements set forth in the second sentence of this
Section 5.2(a) and the Purchasers, together with their Affiliated
Entities, collectively, then Own at least 171,432 shares of Common
Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends stock splits,
recapitalization, combinations, consolidations or the like), the
Company shall nominate the Board Designee for re-election as a
director at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders
as part of the slate proposed by the Company that is included in
the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document)
of the Company relating to the election of the Board of Directors
and will use its best efforts to cause the election of the Board
Designee to the Board of Directors (including providing the same
level of support as is provided for other nominees of the Company
to the Board of Directors).

 

(b)           The
Board Designee shall be subject to the policies and requirements of
the Company and its Board of Directors, including the corporate
governance guidelines of the Board of Directors and the
Company’s Code of Ethics, in a manner consistent with the
application of such policies and requirements to other members of
the Board of Directors and in a manner that does not discriminate
against Sailing or its Affiliates. The Company shall compensate the
Board Designee, reimburse their expenses, indemnify them and
provide the Board Designee with director and officer insurance to
the same extent it compensates, reimburses, indemnifies and
provides insurance for the outside members of the Board of
Directors pursuant to its organizational documents, applicable law
or otherwise

 

(c)           The
rights of Sailing pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be specific to
Sailing and shall be non-transferable.

22

 

 

 

 

(d)           If,
for any reason, the Board Designee is not a member of the Board of
Directors, so long as the Purchasers, together with their
Affiliated Entities, collectively, Own at least 171,432 shares of
Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends stock splits,
recapitalization, combinations, consolidations or the like),
Sailing shall have the right to appoint an observer to receive
notice of, and the right to participate as an observer in, meetings
of the Board of Directors and to receive the same information that
is provided to members of the Board of Directors in connection with
such meetings, except that the observer may be excluded from access
to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board of
Directors determines in good faith, upon advice of counsel, that
such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the
attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential
proprietary information, or for other similar reasons.  Upon
reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the Board or such
other time, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine in its
sole discretion, such representative may address the Board of
Directors with respect to Sailing’s concerns regarding
significant business issues facing the Company.   The
observer agrees that any information provided to or learned by it
in connection with its rights under this provision shall be treated
as confidential information by the observer and shall not be
disclosed except to others with a need to know and who are also
subject to confidentiality provisions or upon the written approval
of the Company or as may be required by law or regulatory or legal
process.

 

(e)           All
obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall
terminate upon the first to occur of: (i) such time as the
Purchasers, together with their Affiliated Entities, collectively,
do not Own at least 171,432 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for
any stock dividends stock splits, recapitalization, combinations,
consolidations or the like), (ii) the Company sells all or
substantially all of its assets, (iii) any Person or
“group” (as such term is used in Section 13 of the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, obtains Beneficial Ownership
of 50% or more of the total outstanding voting power of the Voting
Stock, (iv) the Company participates in any merger, consolidation
or similar transaction unless immediately following the
consummation of such transaction the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction continue
to hold (in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of
the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the
transaction) more than 50% of all of the outstanding common stock
or other securities entitled to vote for the election of directors
of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction, (v)
Sailing irrevocably waives and terminates all of its rights under
this Section 5.2, (vi) the Board Designee is removed from the Board
of Directors for cause by the stockholders of the Company or (vii)
the Company delivers written notice that a Purchaser has breached
the terms of this Agreement in any material respect and such
Purchaser does not cure any such breach within 10 days of such
notice, provided that no
cure period shall apply if such breach is of a nature which cannot
be cured. The date of termination pursuant to this clause (e) of
the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2 is
sometimes referred to herein as the “Designee Termination
Date”).

 

5.3           Information
Rights

 

 (a)           Regardless
of whether the Company is required to do pursuant to the Exchange
Act, the Company shall furnish to Sailing any annual reports,
quarterly reports and other periodic reports required pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within fifteen (15) days of
when such reports would be required pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (provided, that any such reports shall
be deemed to have been provided when such reports are publicly
available via the SEC’s EDGAR system or any successor to the
EDGAR system.

23

 

 

 

(b)           The
rights of Sailing pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be specific to
Sailing and shall be non-transferable.

 

(c)           All
obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall
terminate upon the first to occur of: (i) such time as the
Purchasers, together with their Affiliated Entities, collectively,
do not Own at least 171,432 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for
any stock dividends stock splits, recapitalization, combinations,
consolidations or the like), (ii) the Company sells all or
substantially all of its assets, (iii) any Person or
“group” (as such term is used in Section 13 of the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, obtains Beneficial Ownership
of 50% or more of the total outstanding voting power of the Voting
Stock, (iv) the Company participates in any merger, consolidation
or similar transaction unless immediately following the
consummation of such transaction the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction continue
to hold (in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of
the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the
transaction) more than 50% of all of the outstanding common stock
or other securities entitled to vote for the election of directors
of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction, or (v)
Sailing irrevocably waives and terminates all of its rights under
this Section 5.3.

 

5.4           Listing.
The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the listing of
its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

 

5.5           Specific
Performance. The Purchasers
and the Company agree that irreparable damage would occur and that
the Company and the Purchaser, as applicable, would not have any
adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of
Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. Accordingly, the Purchasers and the Company agree that
the Company and the Purchasers, as applicable, shall without the
necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages or posting a
bond be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of such Sections and to enforce specifically the terms,
provisions and covenants contained therein, this being in addition
to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in
equity.

by an instrument signed in writing by such parties waive the
performance, compliance or satisfaction by the Purchasers or the
Company, respectively, with any term or provision hereof or any
condition hereto to be performed, complied with or satisfied by the

or prior to each Filing Date, the Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a
Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable
Securities not already covered by an existing and effective
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement (i) shall be

by the Electing Holders or required pursuant to written comments
received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration
Statement) the Plan of Distribution. The Company will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement
to be declared effective or otherwise to become effective under the
Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than
the Effectiveness Date, and will use their commercially reasonable
efforts to keep the Registration Statement (or a replacement
Registration Statement) continuously effective under the Securities
Act until the registration rights under this Agreement terminate in
accordance with Section 2(d) (the “Effectiveness
Period”). In addition, the Company will, promptly and
from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to file such
additional Registration Statements to cover resales of any
Registrable Securities which are not registered for resale pursuant
to a pre-existing Registration Statement no later than the Filing
Date with respect thereto, and will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared
effective or otherwise to become effective under the Securities Act
as soon as practicable after the applicable Filing Date but, in any
event, no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and will
use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration
Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all
times during the Effectiveness Period; provided that, the Company will
not be obligated to update the Registration Statement and no sales
may made under the applicable Registration Statement during any
Black-Out Period of which the Holders have received
notice.

 

10.2           If:
(i) any Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its
Filing Date, (ii) a Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the Commission or does not otherwise become effective
on or prior to its required Effectiveness Date or (iii) after its
Effective Date, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason
to be effective as to all Registrable Securities to which it is
required to cover at any time prior to the expiration of the
Effectiveness Period (in each case, except as specifically
permitted herein with respect to any applicable Black-Out Period;
provided that, the
aggregate number of days of any such Black-Out Period shall not
exceed 30 days in any 180-day period or 60 days in any 365-day
period) (any such failure or breach being referred to as a
“Registration
Default”). Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Registration Default, the Company will make pro
rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate amount invested
by such Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each 30-day
period or pro rata for any portion thereof during which such
Registration Default is continuing. Such payments shall constitute
the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but
shall not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive
relief. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash no
later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each 30-day
period.

 

10.3           The
Company shall not, from the date hereof until the Effective Date of

Commission a registration statement relating to an offering of any
of its securities for its own account or the account of others
under the Securities Act.

 

10.4           The
registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall
automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) such time as
there are no outstanding Registrable Securities and (ii) the
five-year anniversary of the Closing.

11.2           The
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) 
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, and supplements to each Registration
Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be

all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities
for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the
Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to
register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable
Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii)
respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received
from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or
any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible
provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement
that pertains to the Holders as selling securityholders but not any
comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders of
material and non-public information concerning the
Company.

 

11.3           The
Company will comply in all material respects with the provisions of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

 

11.4           The
Company will notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible
(i) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all
of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings
for that purpose; and (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities
for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of
any Proceeding for such purpose.

 

11.5           The
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, at the earliest practicable moment, or if
any such order or suspension is made effective during any Black-Out
Period, at the earliest practicable moment after the Black-Out
Period is over.

 

 

7

 

 

 

11.6           During
the Effectiveness Period, the Company will furnish to each Holder,
without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration
Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent
requested by such Person (including those incorporated by
reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
Commission; provided, that the Company will
not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this
clause that is available on the EDGAR system.

 

11.7           The
Company will promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as
many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (other than any
amendment or supplement made through the incorporation by reference
of ordinary course Exchange Act filings) as such Persons may
reasonably request during the Effectiveness Period. The Company
consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in
accordance with this Agreement.

 

11.8           The
Company will, prior to any public offering of Registrable
Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or
qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with
the registration or qualification (or exemption from such
registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for
offer and sale under the applicable state securities or blue sky
laws of those jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder
reasonably requests in writing to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
Effectiveness Period and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statements; provided, that the Company will
not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business or as a
dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject the Company
to general service of process or any material tax in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

 

11.9           The
Company will cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the
Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free of all
restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to
be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such
Holders may request in writing. In connection therewith, if
required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will
promptly after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement to be delivered to its transfer agent when
and as required by such transfer agent from time to time, together
with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required
by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent
to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by
the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement.

11.10                      The
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare such
supplements or amendments, including a post-effective amendment, if
required by applicable law, to each applicable Registration
Statement and file any other required document so that such
Registration Statement will be Available at all times during the
Effectiveness Period; provided, that no such
supplement, amendment or filing will be required during a Black-Out
Period. No later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day
on which the Company receives a written notice (a
“Use
Notice”) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such
Trading Day (or if such request is received after 2:00 p.m. (New
York time), no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
following Trading Day) from a Holder that such Holder intends to
use the Registration Statement to resell Registrable Securities,
the Company will (A) provide written confirmation to such Holder
that the applicable Registration Statement is Available or (B)
provide written notice (a “Suspension
Notice”) that the use of such Registration Statement
is suspended due to a Black-Out Period. No Suspension Notice will
contain the reason for the Black-Out Period. The Company will
promptly provide the Holders written notice when the Black-Out
Period. If a Black-Out Period commences during any 30 Trading Day
period following delivery of a Use Notice and a notice from the
Company under clause (A) above, the Company will provide as
promptly as practicable the Holders with written notice thereof and
that the Registration Statement is no longer
Available.

 

11.11                      Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Agreement, no Holder of Registrable
Securities may include any of its Registrable Securities in the
Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless the Holder
furnishes to the Company a completed questionnaire substantially in
the form of Exhibit A (the “Questionnaire”)
for use in connection with the Registration Statement at least ten
(10) Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration
Statement; provided, however, an Investor shall not
be required to furnish a Questionnaire in connection with the
initial Registration Statement if such Investor owns Common Stock
initially purchased by such Investor at the Closing as of the
initial Filing Date. Each Holder who intends to include any of its
Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement shall promptly
furnish the Company in writing such other information as the
Company may reasonably request in writing.

 

11.12                      The
Holders may distribute the Registrable Securities by means of up to
two underwritten offerings; provided that (a) the
Electing Holders provide written notice to the Company of their
intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an
underwritten offering, (b) the managing underwriter or
underwriters thereof shall be designated by the Electing Holders;
provided,
however, that such
designated managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company, (c) each Holder participating in
such underwritten offering agrees to sell such Holder’s
Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the persons entitled selecting the
managing underwriter or underwriters hereunder and (d) each
Holder participating in such underwritten offering completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Company
hereby agrees with each Holder that, in connection with any
underwritten offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will
negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements, including using all commercially
reasonable efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor
“comfort” letters.

 

 

9

 

 

 

11.13                      In
the event the Holders seek to complete an underwritten offering
pursuant to Section 3(l), for a reasonable period prior to the
filing of any Registration Statement, and throughout the
Effectiveness Period, the Company will make available upon
reasonable notice at the Company’s principal place of
business or such other reasonable place for inspection by the
managing underwriter or underwriters selected in accordance with
Section 3(l), such financial and other information and books and
records of the Company, and cause the officers, employees, counsel
and independent certified public accountants of the Company to
respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in
the case of counsel, not violate an attorney-client privilege in
such counsel’s reasonable belief), to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing
inspection and information gathering on behalf of the Holders (and
any managing underwriter or underwriters) shall be conducted by
legal counsel to the Holders (and legal counsel to such managing
underwriter or underwriters); provided further, that each such party
shall be required to maintain in confidence and not to disclose to
any other Person any information or records reasonably designated
by the Company as being confidential, until such time as
(A) such information becomes a matter of public record
(whether by virtue of its inclusion in the Registration Statement
or in any other manner other than through the release of such
information by any Person afforded access to such information
pursuant hereto), or (B) such Person shall be required so to
disclose such information pursuant to a subpoena or order of any
court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over
the matter (subject to the requirements of such order, and only
after such Person shall have given the Company prompt prior written
notice of such requirement).

 

12.           Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the
Company’s performance of or compliance with their obligations
under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts and
selling commissions, but including all legal fees and expenses of
one legal counsel to the Holders) shall be borne by the Company
whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the
foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with
the Trading Market, and (B) in compliance with applicable state
securities or blue sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for
Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing
of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv)
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities
Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance,
and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be
responsible for all of their internal expenses incurred in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and
expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees
and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the
Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall pay all
underwriting and placement discounts and commissions, agency and
placement fees, brokers’ commissions and transfer taxes, if
any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities. In addition to the foregoing, the Company
shall pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the single
counsel to the Holders in connection with the Registration
Statement (not to exceed $35,000 in the aggregate); provided, however, if the Holders
reasonably determine that local counsel is required in connection
with the Registration Statement, then the Company shall be
obligated to pay such reasonable legal fees and expense as well
(not to exceed $20,000 in the aggregate).

 

 

10

 

 

 

13.           Indemnification.

 

13.1           Indemnification
by the Company. The Company will, notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, jointly and severally, indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder and each underwriter, broker-dealer or
selling agent, if any, which facilitates the disposition of
Registrable Securities, the officers, directors, agents, partners,
members, stockholders and employees of each of them, each Person
who controls any such Holder, underwriter, broker-dealer or selling
agent (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents
and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable
attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively,
“Losses”), as
incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus (including,
without limitation, any “issuer free writing
prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) 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 form of
prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free
writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that
(i) such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged
omissions that are based solely upon information regarding such
Holder, underwriter, broker-dealer or selling agent furnished in
writing to the Company by such Person expressly for use therein
pursuant to Section 3(k) or (ii) such Losses arise out of or are
based upon transfers of Registrable Securities during a Black-Out
Period. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the
institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the
Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

 

13.2           Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents 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 or employees of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out
of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any
form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any
“issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule
433), or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely
out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus
(including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing
prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding
such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder in
the Questionnaire or otherwise expressly for use therein. In no
event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder 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 indemnification obligation.

 

 

11

 

 

 

13.3           Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. 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
be permitted to assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) 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 it shall be
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which
determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such
failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced
the Indemnifying Party.

 

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 or Parties 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 (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); or
(3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been
advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist
if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party (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 such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified
Parties.  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.  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.

 

All
fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including 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) shall be paid to the
Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written
notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it
is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled
to indemnification hereunder; provided that the Indemnifying
Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially
determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder).

 

 

12

 

 

 

13.4           Contribution.
If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or
otherwise), then each 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 Losses, 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 Section 5(c), any reasonable
attorneys’ or other reasonable 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.

 

The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5(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.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to
contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale
of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the
amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. 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
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are
in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have
to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation
of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase
Agreement.

 

14.           Facilitation
of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. To the extent it shall be
required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely
file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act
or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of
Rule 144), and shall take such further action as any Holder
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the
exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder
in connection with that Holder’s sale pursuant to
Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.

 

 

13

 

 

 

15.           Miscellaneous.

 

15.1           Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of
their 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, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Agreement.  The Company and each Holder agree 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 further agree that, in the event
of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach,
it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

 

15.2           Discontinued
Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, that it will not commence a
disposition of Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement until such Holder has received (A) written confirmation
from the Company of the availability of the Registration Statement
as described in Section 3(j)(A), (B) written confirmation from the
Company that the Black-Out Period has ceased as described in
Section 3(j) or (C) copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or
amended Registration Statement as described in Section 3(j), and,
in each case, has also received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration
Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to
enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

 

15.3           Amendments
and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and
the Electing Holders. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any
subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party
to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise
of any such right.

 

15.4           Notices.
Except where explicitly stated otherwise, any and all notices or
other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be
provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if
such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or
electronic mail as specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the
date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered

later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (iii) the Business Day

overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party
to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for

ANNEX A

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The
selling securityholders, including their pledgees, donees,
transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in
interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of
common stock (collectively, “Securities”)
covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus
may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a
specific plan of distribution.

 

     The
selling securityholders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and
fees in connection with the registration and sale of the shares
covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all
underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer
taxes, if any, attributable to sales of the shares. We will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common
stock covered hereby.

 

     The
selling securityholders may sell the Securities covered by this
prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all
or any of the Securities that they are allowed to sell under this
prospectus. The selling securityholders will act independently of
us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of
each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time
of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by
the selling securityholders in one or more types of transactions,
which may include:

 

● 

purchases by
underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in
the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from
the selling securityholders and/or the purchasers of the Securities
for whom they may act as agent;

 

● 

one or more block
transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer
so engaged will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker
acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

 

● 

ordinary brokerage
transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits
purchases;

 

● 

purchases by a
broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;

 

● 

the pledge of
Securities for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers
or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of
Securities;

 

● 

short sales or
transactions to cover short sales relating to the
Securities;

 

 

 

 

 

● 

one or more
exchanges or over the counter market transactions;

 

● 

through
distribution by a selling securityholder or its successor in
interest to its members, general or limited partners or
shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited
partners or shareholders);

 

● 

privately
negotiated transactions;

 

● 

the writing of
options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or
otherwise;

 

● 

distributions to
creditors and equity holders of the selling securityholders;
and

 

● 

any combination of
the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under
applicable law.

 

     A
selling securityholder may also resell all or a portion of its
Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144
under the Securities Act provided it meets the criteria and
conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.

 

     The
selling securityholders may enter into sale, forward sale and
derivative transactions with third parties, or may sell securities
not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately
negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement
indicates, in connection with those sale, forward sale or
derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities
covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus
supplement, including in short sale transactions and by issuing
securities that are not covered by this prospectus but are
exchangeable for or represent beneficial interests in the common
stock. The third parties also may use shares received under those
sale, forward sale or derivative arrangements or shares pledged by
the selling securityholder or borrowed from the selling
securityholders or others to settle such third-party sales or to
close out any related open borrowings of common stock. The third
parties may deliver this prospectus in connection with any such
transactions. Any third party in such sale transactions will be an
underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus
supplement (or a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part).

 

     In
addition, the selling securityholders may engage in hedging
transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions
of Securities or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers
may engage in short sales of securities in the course of hedging
the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling
securityholders may also sell securities short and redeliver
securities to close out such short positions. The selling
securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers which require the delivery of securities to the
broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise
transfer such securities pursuant to this prospectus. The selling
securityholders also may loan or pledge shares, and the borrower or
pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the Securities so loaned or
pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or pledgee also
may transfer those Securities to investors in our securities or the
selling securityholders’ securities or in connection with the
offering of other securities not covered by this
prospectus.

 

 

 

 

 

     To
the extent necessary, we may amend or supplement this prospectus
from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. We
will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, upon being
notified by the selling securityholders that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale
of shares through a block trade, offering or a purchase by a broker
or dealer. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the
specific terms of the offering of securities,
including:

 

● 

the number of
Securities offered;

 

● 

the price of such
Securities;

 

● 

the proceeds to the
selling securityholders from the sale of such
Securities;

 

● 

the names of the
underwriters or agents, if any;

 

● 

any underwriting
discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or
agents; and

 

● 

any discounts or
concessions allowed or paid to dealers.

 

     The
selling securityholders may, or may authorize underwriters, dealers
and agents to, solicit offers from specified institutions to
purchase Securities from the selling securityholders at the public
offering price listed in the applicable prospectus supplement.
These sales may be made under “delayed delivery
contracts” or other purchase contracts that provide for
payment and delivery on a specified future date. Any contracts like
this will be described in and be subject to the conditions listed
in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

     Broker-dealers
or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions,
discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders.
Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the
purchasers of Securities for whom they act as agents or to whom
they sell as principals, or both. Compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will
be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions
involving securities. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by
the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to
participate in the resales.

 

     In
connection with sales of Securities covered hereby, the selling
securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any
other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the
selling securityholders may be deemed to be an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). Accordingly, any profits realized by the
selling securityholders and any compensation earned by such
underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions. Because the selling
securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters”
under the Securities Act, the selling securityholders must deliver
this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in the manner
required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery
requirement may be satisfied through the facilities of the NASDAQ
Global Market in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities
Act.

 

 

 

 

 

     We
and the selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify each other
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. In addition, we or the selling securityholders may
agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents
against or contribute to any payments the underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to,
civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are
permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or
perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling
securityholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of
business.

 

     The
selling securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of
Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing
of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by the selling
securityholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any
person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in
market-making activities with respect to the Securities. These
restrictions may affect the marketability of such
Securities.

 

     In
order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the
Securities may be sold in those jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain
states the Securities may not be sold unless they have been
registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an
exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is
available. In addition, any Securities of a selling securityholder
covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market
transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
prospectus.

 

     In
connection with an offering of Securities under this prospectus,
the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open
market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing
transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short
sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a
greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in
an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or
purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline
in the market price of the securities while an offering is in
progress.

 

     The
underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the
underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have
repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that
underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering
transactions.

 

     These
activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the Securities offered under this
prospectus. As a result, the price of the

 

Securities may be
higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open
market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued
by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected
on the NASDAQ Global Market or another securities exchange or
automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or
otherwise.
