(ii)           In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(c), the Holders shall have the right, upon delivery of a written request to the Company, to require the Company to file a Resale Registration Statement under Rule 415 within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such request (subject to (x) any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or (y) comments by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by the Holders in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Holders, and the Company shall, following such request, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared and kept effective in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for Registration Statements hereunder and under the same timing and procedural guidelines set forth in Section 2(b) for a Demand Registration Statement.

(e)            Registration Rights of Other Persons .  Except as disclosed in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holders that no Person other than the Holders has any registration rights in respect of the securities of the Company.  The Company hereby agrees that it shall not grant any registration rights to any Person (other than the Holders) without the prior written consent of the Holders.

(c)           In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares, the Company shall not be required under this Section 3 or otherwise to include the Registrable Securities of any Holder therein unless such Holder accepts and agrees to the terms of the underwriting, which shall be reasonable  and customary, as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company.
