2.1 Demand Shelf Registration.
The Company shall take all action necessary to facilitate its eligibility under U.S. Securities Laws to use a Shelf Registration Statement. Six (6) months following the date of this Agreement and subject to the terms herein, holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Majority Holders”) may by written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”) request the Company to effect the Registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Majority Holders and their respective Affiliates. Upon receipt of such a request, (i) the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than twenty (20) days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have twenty (20) days from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration, and (ii) the Company shall as soon as practicable, cause the Registrable Securities specified in such Demand Notice and the Registrable Securities held by the other holders of Registrable Securities who gave such notice to the Company, to be Registered and/or qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Majority Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration and/or qualification to be complete as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days, after receipt of the Demand Notice. The Company shall be obligated to effect no more than two (2) Registrations requested by the Majority Holders under this Section 2.1; provided that a Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected under this Section 2.1 unless (i) all Registrable Securities set forth in such Demand Notice are Registered in such Registration and (ii) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other requirement of the Commission prompted by act or omission of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein). The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein.
4
2.2 Limitation; Right of Deferral. If, after receiving a Demand Notice, the Company furnishes to the Majority Holders a certificate signed by a director of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, it would be materially interfere with a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction of the Company or is reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the receipt of a Demand Notice (which may be extended by up to 30 days by written notice of the Company); provided, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period; and provided further that the Company shall not Register any other Securities for resale by other stockholders during such sixty (60) day period (other than Exempt Registrations). In the event that the Company exercises such right, the Majority Holders shall be entitled to withdraw the Demand Notice by written notice to the Company and such withdrawn Demand Notice shall not constitute a request by the Majority Holders to effect a Registration under Section 2.1.
2.3 Shelf Registration. Unless such Shelf Registration Statement shall become automatically effective, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the Commission for all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement (or a successor Shelf Registration Statement filed with respect to the Registrable Securities) continuously effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration Statement if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires) in order to permit the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto to be lawfully delivered and the Shelf Registration Statement useable for resale of such Registrable Securities until such Registration Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation under Rule 144.
2.4 Rule 415. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the SEC specifically prohibits the Shelf Registration Statement from including all Registrable Securities (“SEC Guidance”) (provided that the Company shall advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or the maximum number of the Registrable Securities permitted by SEC Guidance to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement, such maximum number, the “Rule 415 Amount”), then the Company will not be in breach of this Agreement by following such SEC Guidance, and the Company will file such additional Shelf Registration Statements at the earliest practicable date on which the Company is permitted by SEC Guidance to file such additional Shelf Registration Statements related to the Registrable Securities, each registering the Rule 415 Amount, seriatim, until all of the Registrable Securities have been registered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of Registrable Securities required to be included in the initial Shelf Registration Statement as described in this Section 2 shall equal the lesser of (a) the amount of Registrable Securities that Holders request to have so registered pursuant to this Section 2 and (b) the maximum amount of Registrable Securities which may be included in a Shelf Registration Statement without exceeding the Rule 415 Amount.
5
3. PROCEDURES.
3.1 Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holders, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause that Shelf Registration Statement to become effective, and, keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective and current for such period of time as is necessary to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities thereunder; provided, however, that before filing such Shelf Registration Statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of U.S. Securities Law with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement;
(c) furnish to the Holders and underwriters the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by U.S. Securities Laws, and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;
(d) use its reasonable best efforts to Register and qualify the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement under U.S. Securities Laws, as reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions; and provided, further, that in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by the selling shareholders, those expenses shall be payable by such selling shareholders on a pro rata basis;
(e) promptly notify each Holder: (i) when the Shelf Registration Statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed, and, with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus used in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or any additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person for that purpose; and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or overt threat of any proceeding for such purpose;
(f) notify each Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under U.S. Securities Laws, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and file any other required document, and prepare and furnish to the Holders and underwriters a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary, so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
6
(g) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest practicable time;
(h) if any such Shelf Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, and if such Holder is advised by counsel that it is or may be deemed to be a control person in relation to, or an Affiliate of, the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding by such Holder is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not, based on the advice of counsel to the Company, such Holder and if applicable, the underwriters, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder;
(i) if requested by the Majority Holders, include in a prospectus supplement or amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement such information as may be reasonably requested or required in order to market the securities being sold and permit the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the Company’s receipt of such request;
(j) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration;
(k) make available for inspection by the Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such Shelf Registration Statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
(l) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the transfer agent to remove restrictive legends on certificates representing the securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement, as appropriate and settle any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or underwriters;
7
(m) cooperate with the Holders and the underwriters to facilitate the timely delivery of Registrable Securities to be sold and to enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names as such Holders may reasonably request at least two (2) Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities; and
(n) cause the Shelf Registrable Securities to be listed on the Applicable Exchange.
3.2 Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to a Registration, including (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses with respect to (A) all Commission, stock exchange or trading system and FINRA registration, listing, filing and qualification and any other fees associated with such filings, (B) rating agencies and (C) compliance with securities or “blue sky” Laws, including any fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (ii) fees and expenses of the financial printer, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and (v) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants, including the expenses of any special audits and/or “comfort letters” required by or incident to such performance and compliance) provided that any underwriters’ discounts and selling commissions, in each case related to Registrable Securities registered in accordance with this Agreement, shall be borne by the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration on a pro rata basis based on such Holders’ relative percentage of Registrable Securities included in such registration. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its 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 the Applicable Exchange or any other securities exchange as required hereunder.
4. INDEMNIFICATION.
4.1 Company Indemnity.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, from and against all losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (whether joint or several) to which they may become subject under applicable Laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in such Shelf Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission (or alleged omission) to state in the Shelf Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of U.S. Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under U.S. Securities Laws. The Company will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.1 for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
8
(b) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such Shelf Registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling Person.
(c) The foregoing indemnity of the Company is subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any defect in a preliminary prospectus but such defect has been eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the applicable Shelf Registration becomes effective (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the Holder or underwriter and was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claims or damages at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.
4.2 Holder Indemnity.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Holder that has included Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees from and against all losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (whether joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under U.S. Securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Shelf Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.2 for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Shelf Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and signed by such Holder and intended to be specifically for use therein.
9
(b) The indemnity contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in no event shall the aggregate indemnity under this Section 4.2 (including any reimbursement of any expenses) exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) from the offering received by such Holder. A Holder will not be required to enter into any agreement or undertaking in connection with any Registration providing for any indemnification or contribution on the part of such Holder greater than the Holder’s obligations under this Section 4.2.
4.3 Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party. An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.
4.4 Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, an indemnifying party that is a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such indemnifying party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 4.2 by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by any party hereto could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the parties hereto would not have any adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any party hereto may be entitled, at law or in equity (including monetary damages), such party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.
6.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
6.11 Expenses. Except to the extent provided otherwise herein, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.
6.12 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the prior written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders. No waiver by any party or parties shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
6.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person (other than an indemnified party solely with respect to Section 6) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

6.14 Construction. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and that no presumption for or against any party arising out of drafting all or any part of this Agreement will be applied in any controversy, claim or dispute relating to, in connection with or involving this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby waive the benefit of any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require, in cases of uncertainty, that the language of a contract should be interpreted most strongly against the party who drafted such language.
6.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
