Promptly after its receipt of any Registration Request, the Company will give written notice of such request to all other Shareholders, and will use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered in the Registration Request or by any other Shareholders by written notice to the Company given within fifteen Business Days after the date the Company has given such Shareholders notice of the Registration Request. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1. Any registration requested by Investor pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “ Demand Registration ”.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations . Investor will be entitled to initiate no more than four Demand Registrations (including Short-Form Registrations permitted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)). No request for registration will count for the purposes of the limitations in this Section 2.1(b) if ( i ) Investor determines in good faith to withdraw the proposed registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement relating to such request due to marketing conditions or regulatory reasons relating to the Company, ( ii ) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within 180 days of the date such Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission (other than solely by reason of Investor having refused to proceed) and Investor withdraws its Registration Request prior to such Registration Statement being declared effective, ( iii ) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to Investor’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty days of the date of such order, ( iv ) more

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) regardless of whether or not such request counts toward the limitation set forth above.

(c) Short-Form Registrations . The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (“ Short-Form Registrations ”), and, if requested by Investor and available to the Company, such Short-Form Registration will be a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415. In no event shall the Company be obligated to effect any shelf registration other than pursuant to a Short-Form Registration. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Short-Form Registration.

(d) Restrictions on Demand Registrations . If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a registration statement, including a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415, with respect to a Demand Registration would ( i ) require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board (A) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading, (B) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (C) would in the good faith judgment of the Board reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business if made at such time, or ( ii ) would in the good faith and judgment of the Board reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Company may upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the participants in such registration (each of whom hereby agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed to such participants) delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement, provided , that the Company shall not be permitted to do so ( x ) more than three times during any twelve-month period or ( y ) for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, one hundred twenty-five days during any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, such Shareholders agree to suspend, promptly upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of any prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. If the Company so postpones the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, Investor will be

7

entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request will not count for the purposes of the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(b). The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such aborted registration or prospectus.

In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering will be chosen by Investor subject to the prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Company.

(ii) If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 will be conditioned upon such Shareholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Shareholder will (together with the Company and the other Shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. If any Shareholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and Investor.

(f) Priority on Demand Registrations . The Company will not include in any underwritten registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 any securities that are not Registrable Securities, without the prior written consent of Investor. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that in its reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: ( i ) first, Registrable Securities of Investor Group and ( ii ) second, Registrable Securities of any other Shareholders who have delivered written requests for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Shareholder and ( iii ) any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Shareholder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration, and except for the obligation to pay Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2.2(c) the Company will have no liability to any Shareholder in connection with such termination or withdrawal.

(b) Underwritten Registration . If the registration referred to in Section 2.2(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Shareholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a).
