REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

2.1 Piggyback Registration.

 

2.1.1 Subject to the terms hereof if at any time or from time to time the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities (except for registration statements on Forms S-8 or S-4 or otherwise relating to employee benefit plans), either for its own account or the account of a security holder or the holders of the Registrable Securities, the Company will promptly give to the holders of the Registrable Securities written notice thereof no less than 20 days prior to the filing of such registration statement; and include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in the underwriting involved therein, if any, such Registrable Securities as the holders of Registrable Securities may request in a writing delivered to the Company within 10 days after such holder's receipt of Company's written notice.

 

2.1.2 The holders of the Registrable Securities may participate in any number of registrations until all of the Registrable Securities held by such holder have been distributed pursuant to a registration.

 

2.1.3 lf any registration statement registers an offering that is an Underwritten Public Offering, the right of the holders of Registrable Securities to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such holders' participation in such reasonable underwriting arrangements as the Company shall make regarding the offering, and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. The holders of the Registrable Securities and all other shareholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the managing underwriter concludes in its reasonable judgment that the number of shares to be registered for selling shareholders (including the holders of the Registrable Securities) would materially adversely affect such offering, the number of Shares to be registered, together with the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities held by other shareholders proposed to be registered in such offering, shall be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the number of Shares proposed to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities as compared to the number of shares proposed to be sold by all stockholders. If the holders of Registrable Securities disapprove of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, delivered not less than ten days before the effective date. The Registrable Securities excluded by the managing underwriter or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 120 days after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, or such other

shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.

 

2.1.4 The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include securities in such registration.

 

2.2 Expenses of Registration.

 

All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise stated herein, all Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be borne by such holders.

 

2.3 Best Registration Rights.

 

If on or after the date of this Registration Rights Agreement, the Company grants to any person with respect to any security issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries registration rights that provide for terms that are in any manner more favorable to the holder of such registration rights than the terms granted to the holders of Registrable Securities (or if the Company amends or waives any provision of any Agreement providing registration rights of others or takes any other action whatsoever to provide for terms that are more favorable to other holders than the terms provided to the holders of Registrable Securities) then this Registration Rights Agreement shall immediately be deemed amended to provide the holders of Registrable Securities with any (or all) of such more favorable terms as such holders shall elect to include herein.

 

2.4 Registration Procedures.

 

In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will keep the holders of the Registrable Securities advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will:

2.4.4 with respect to an Underwritten Public Offering, furnish to each underwriter such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale of the shares by such underwriter and promptly furnish to each underwriter and the holders of Registrable Securities notice of any stop-order or similar notice issued by the Commission or any state agency charged with the regulation of securities, and notice of Nasdaq or securities exchange listing;

 

2.4.5 furnish, without charge, to each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and, in each case, including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities or other shares of Common Stock owned by such seller;
