Such Holders shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c)             A registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall not be deemed to have been effected unless a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective; provided, that a Registration Statement that does not become effective after the Company has filed a Registration Statement with respect thereto solely by reason of the refusal to proceed of the Initiating Stockholders shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company at the request of the Initiating Stockholders.

(d)            The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.3 continuously effective for a period of five (5) years after the Registration Statement first becomes effective. In the event the Company shall give any notice pursuant to Section 1.3(i) or Section 1.5(d) , the time period mentioned in this Section 1.3(d) (or in Section 1.2 above) during which the required Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 1.3(i) or Section 1.5(d) to and including the date when each Holder covered by the Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 1.5(h) or shall have otherwise been notified by the Company that the Suspension has been lifted.

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders, a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be filed and it is therefore advisable to defer the filing of such Registration Statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the written request of the Initiating Stockholders.

(f)             The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 during the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the later of a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Registration Statement subject to Section 1.4 hereof.

(g)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 (i) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.3 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective or (ii) during the period in which the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 for such Registration Statement.

(h)            The right of the Holders to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.3 is only exercisable if the Registrable Securities were not included in the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 1.2(a) or such Registration Statement otherwise

becomes unusable (other than due solely to some act or omission by the Holders electing to have Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Registration Statement) and the Company is not able to restore the usability of the Registration Statement as contemplated by this Agreement.

(i)             If the filing of the Registration Statement or the continued effectiveness of the Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay filing the Registration Statement or suspend use of the Registration Statement (in either case, a “Suspension”); provided, however, the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Suspension (i) more than twice during any twelve (12) month period, (ii) for a period exceeding thirty (30) days on any one occasion, or (iii) for an aggregate period exceeding sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period. In the case of a Suspension, the notice required above shall request the Holders to suspend any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase the Registrable Securities, and to suspend use of the prospectus related to the registration in connection with any such sale or purchase or offer to sell or purchase. The Company shall promptly notify the holders upon the termination of any Suspension, and amend or supplement the prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission therein and furnish to the holder such numbers of copies of the prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request.

(b)            Each Holder desiring to include in any such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. The Company shall, subject to Section 1.7, afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such Registration Statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder.

(c)            If the Registration Statement is to be filed in connection with an Underwritten Offering, all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement under this Section 1.4 to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof.

(d)            Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1.4

For purposes of this Section 1.4 , “hedging transaction” means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or
