SECTION II
PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 If the Corporation proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering for its own account of any class of its equity securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or any other registration statement relating solely to employee benefit plans or an offering of securities solely to the Corporation’s existing shareholders), then the Corporation shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder as soon as practicable (but no later than 20 business days) before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to register such number of shares of Restricted Stock as such Holder may request. Each Holder desiring to have Restricted Stock included in such registration statement shall so advise the Corporation in writing within 10 business days after the date on which the Corporation’s notice is so given, setting forth the number of shares of Restricted Stock for which registration is requested.

If the Corporation’s offering is to be an underwritten offering, the Corporation shall, subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters to permit the Holders of the Restricted Stock requested to be included in the registration for such offering to include such Restricted Stock in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Corporation included therein. The right of registration pursuant to this Section II connection with an underwritten offering by the Corporation shall, unless the Corporation otherwise assents, be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation as a seller in such underwritten offering and its execution of an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering determines in its or their sole discretion that the success of the offering would be adversely affected by inclusion of the Restricted Stock requested to be included, then in such managing underwriter’s discretion, the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be registered and offered for the accounts of Holders shall be either (i) eliminated entirely from such registration and offering or (ii) reduced pro rata on the basis of the number of securities requested by such Holders to be registered and offered to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters (provided that if securities are being registered and offered for the account of other persons or entities in addition to the Corporation, such reduction shall not be proportionally greater than any similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities). Any Restricted Stock excluded from an underwriting shall, if applicable, be withdrawn from registration and shall not, without the consent of the Corporation, be transferred in a public distribution prior to the earlier of sixty (60) days (or such other shorter period of time as the managing underwriter may require) after the effective date of the registration statement or sixty (60) days after the date the Holders of such Restricted Stock are notified of such exclusion.

SECTION III
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

3.1 Whenever Holders of Restricted Stock have requested pursuant to Section 2.1 that any Restricted Stock be registered, the Corporation shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Restricted Stock in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as promptly as practicable, and in connection with any such request, the Corporation shall:

(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a registration statement on any form for which the Corporation then qualifies and which counsel for the Corporation shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale or distribution of such Restricted Stock in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided that, (i) before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Corporation will furnish to one counsel selected by the Holders of a majority of the shares of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such counsel and (ii) after the filing of the registration statement, the Corporation shall promptly notify each Selling Holder of Restricted Stock of any stop order issued or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, threatened by the Securities and Exchange Commission and take all reasonable actions to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;

(b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than ninety (90) days or such shorter period as shall terminate when the distribution of all Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement shall have terminated and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(c) as soon as reasonably practicable, furnish to each Selling Holder, prior to filing a registration statement, copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed and thereafter furnish to such Selling Holder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Restricted Stock owned by such Selling Holder;

(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Restricted Stock under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and Canada as any Selling Holder reasonably (in light of such Selling Holder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Restricted Stock owned by such Selling Holder; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or (ii) take any action that would subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(e) promptly notify each Selling Holder of such Restricted Stock, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of any event known to the Corporation requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers or recipients of such Restricted Stock, such 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 and promptly make available to each Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment;

(f) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, the form and substance of such underwriting agreement being subject to the reasonable satisfaction Corporation and a majority in interest of the Selling Holders;

(g) make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any sale or distribution pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Corporation (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Corporation’s officers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested for such purpose by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided that the Corporation shall have no obligation to permit such access to the Records or its officers or employees in a manner that would unreasonably disrupt the normal conduct of its business operations. (Each such Selling Holder and Inspector that actually reviews Records supplied by the Corporation that Include information that the Corporation identifies, in good faith, as being confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) shall be required at the Corporation’s option, prior to any such review, to execute an agreement with the Corporation providing that such Inspector shall not publicly disclose any Confidential Information unless such disclosure is required by applicable law or legal process and shall not use such information for any purpose other than the limited purpose contemplated by this subsection (g). Each such Selling Holder and Inspector shall be required further to agree that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of Confidential Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Corporation and allow the Corporation, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information);

(h) in the event such sale is pursuant to an underwritten offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a comfort letter or letters from the Corporation’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as the managing underwriter reasonably requests; and

(i) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Upon receipt of any notice from the Corporation of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in subsection (e) hereof, such Selling Holder shall forthwith discontinue all offerings, sales and other dispositions of Restricted Stock pursuant to the registration statement covering such Restricted Stock until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) hereof. In the event the Corporation shall give any such notice, the Corporation shall extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including the period referred to in subsection (b) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to subsection (b) hereof to and including the first date on which each Selling Holder of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) hereof.

In connection with any underwritten offering of Restricted Stock registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation shall cause to be included in any underwriting agreement with the underwriters of such offering provisions indemnifying and providing for contribution to such underwriters and their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as the provisions of this Section 7.1 indemnifying and providing for contribution to the Selling Holders.

If any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any indemnified party hereunder in respect of which indemnity may be sought from an indemnifying party hereunder, such indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and shall assume the payment of all expenses. Such indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expenses of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and such indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by such indemnified party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding erected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.

7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to the Corporation or the Selling Holders in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to herein, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each such party in connection with such statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of each such party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Corporation and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentences.

The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding sentences shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigation or defending any such action or claims. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.4, no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute an amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Restricted Stock of such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section  11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Selling Holder is the Shareholder, then the Shareholder shall have no obligations of contribution of any nature whatsoever.
