Article II
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 2.01 Shelf Registration.
(a) Shelf Registration. Within eighteen months after the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC (such date of filing with the SEC, the “Filing Date”) to permit the public resale of all Registrable Securities on the terms and conditions specified in this Section 2.01 (a “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities, covering the Registrable Securities, and shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit any Selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect) at any time beginning on the Effective Date for such Registration Statement; provided, however, such Registration Statement shall not be filed on a shelf registration statement that automatically becomes effective upon filing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) to be declared effective within (x) 15 calendar days from the Filing Date, if the SEC does not review the filed Registration Statement or (y) 60 calendar days from the Filing Date, if the SEC reviews the the filed Registration Statement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). A Registration Statement shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Selling Holders, including by way of an Underwritten Offering, if such an election has been made pursuant to Section 2.04 of this Agreement, and by way of Alternative Transactions. During
5

the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary (including post-effective amendments) to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another registration statement is available for the resale of the Registrable Securities until the date on which all Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. In the event that the minimum listing standards of the NYSE are satisfied, the Company shall prepare and file a supplemental listing application with the NYSE (or such other national securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities are then listed and traded) to list the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registrable Securities approved for listing on the NYSE (or such other national securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities are then listed and traded) by the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, subject only to official notice of issuance. Within two Business Days of the Effective Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Selling Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.
When effective, a Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). If the Managing Underwriter of any proposed Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities (other than an Underwritten Offering of Included Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.02) advises the Company that the inclusion of all of the Selling Holders’ Registrable Securities that the Selling Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities offered or the market for the Registrable Securities, then the Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter advises the Company and the Holder in its good faith opinion can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Selling Holders, allocated among such Selling Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities held by each such Selling Holder or in such other manner as such Selling Holders may agree, and (ii) second, to any other holder of securities of the Company having rights of registration that are neither expressly senior nor subordinated to the Holders in respect of the Registrable Securities.
(b) Failure to Go Effective. If a Registration Statement required to be filed by Section 2.01(a) is not declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, then each Holder shall be entitled to a payment in cash (with respect to each Registrable Security held by the Holder), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, which shall accrue daily, for the first 60 calendar days immediately following the Effectiveness Deadline, increasing by an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-calendar-day period, which shall accrue daily, for each subsequent 30-calendar-day period (i.e., 0.5% for 61-90 calendar days, 0.75% for 91-120 calendar days and 1.00% thereafter), up to a maximum of 1.00% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-calendar-day period, until such time as such Registration Statement is declared effective or when the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Liquidated Damages”). The Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable within 10 Business Days after the end of each such 30-calendar-day period. Any Liquidated Damages shall be paid to each Holder in immediately available funds. The accrual of Liquidated Damages to a Holder shall cease (an “LD Termination Date,” and, each such period beginning on an Effectiveness Deadline and ending on an LD Termination Date being, an “LD Period”) at the earlier
6

of (1) the Registration Statement being declared effective and (2) when the Holder’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities. Any amount of Liquidated Damages shall be prorated for any period of less than 30 calendar days accruing during an LD Period. If the Company is unable to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline as a result of an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction, then the Company may request a waiver of the Liquidated Damages, and each Holder may individually grant or withhold its consent to such request in its discretion. Nothing in this Section 2.01(b) shall relieve the Company from its obligations under Section 2.01(a).
Section 2.02 Piggyback Rights.
(a) Participation. So long as a Holder has Registrable Securities, if the Company proposes to file (i) a shelf registration statement other than a Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a), (ii) a prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement relating to the sale of equity securities of the Company for its own account or that of another Person, or both, other than a Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a) and Holders may be included without the filing of a post-effective amendment thereto, or (iii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement, in each case, for the sale of shares of Common Stock in an Underwritten Offering for its own account or that of another Person, or both, then promptly following the selection of the Managing Underwriter for such Underwritten Offering, the Company shall give notice of such Underwritten Offering to each Holder (together with its Affiliates) holding at least the Piggyback Threshold Amount of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (calculated based on the Common Stock Price) and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as each such Holder may request in writing; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall not be required to provide such opportunity to any such Holder that does not offer a minimum of the Piggyback Threshold Amount of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Stock Price), or such lesser amount if it constitutes the remaining holdings of such Holder, and (B) if the Managing Underwriter advises the Company that in its good faith opinion the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Common Stock in the Underwritten Offering, then (x) if no Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the good faith opinion of the Managing Underwriter, the Company shall not be required to offer such opportunity to the Holders, or (y) if any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of Section 2.02(b). Any notice required to be provided in this Section 2.02(a) to Holders shall be provided on a Business Day and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed by the Holder. Each such Holder shall then have five Business Days (or three Business Days in connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after notice has been delivered to request in writing the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, each such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the closing of such Underwritten Offering, the Company shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten Offering, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (1) in the case of a determination not to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (2) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities as part of such Underwritten Offering for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s
7

request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal at or prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not be required to deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in Underwritten Offerings by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a).
(b) Priority. If the Managing Underwriter of any proposed Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock included in an Underwritten Offering involving Included Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.02 advises the Company and the Holder that in its good faith opinion the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of shares of the Common Stock offered or the market for the shares of Common Stock, then the shares of Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter advises the Company and the Holder that in its good faith opinion can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Company or other party or parties requesting or initiating such registration or to any other holder of securities of the Company having rights of registration pursuant to an existing registration rights agreement and (ii) second, by the Selling Holders who have requested participation in such Underwritten Offering and by the other holders of shares of Common Stock (other than holders of Registrable Securities) with registration rights entitling them to participate in such Underwritten Offering, allocated among such Selling Holders and other holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities or shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by each applicable Selling Holder or other holder in such Underwritten Offering (based, for each such participant, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such participant in such Underwritten Offering by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by all participants in such Underwritten Offering) or in such manner as they may agree. The allocation of shares of Common Stock to be included in any Underwritten Offering other than an Underwritten Offering involving Included Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be governed by Section 2.01(a).
(c) Termination of Piggyback Registration Rights. Each Holder’s rights under this Section 2.02 shall terminate upon such Holder ceasing to hold at least the Piggyback Threshold Amount of Registrable Securities (calculated based on the Common Stock Price).
Section 2.03 Delay Rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may, upon written notice to (i) all Holders, delay the filing of a Registration Statement required under Section 2.01(a), or (ii) any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus that is a part of such Registration Statement or other registration statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement but may settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if the Company (x) is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the Company determines in good faith that the
8

Company’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement or other registration statement or (y) has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would materially adversely affect the Company; provided, however, in no event shall (A) filing of such Registration Statement be delayed under clauses (x) or (y) of this Section 2.03 on more than two occasions or for more than an aggregate of 45 calendar days in any one instance, or for more than 90 calendar days in any 365 calendar-day period or (B) such Selling Holders be suspended under clauses (x) or (y) of this Section 2.03 from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or other registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 30 calendar days in any 180 calendar-day period or 60 calendar days in any 365 calendar-day period, in each case, exclusive of days covered by any lock-up agreement executed by a Selling Holder in connection with any Underwritten Offering. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice, but in any event within one Business Day of such disclosure or termination, to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.
If (i) the Selling Holders shall be prohibited or prevented from selling their Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement as a result of a delay or suspension pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph in excess of the periods permitted therein or (ii) a Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement is filed and is declared effective but, during the Effectiveness Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within 90 calendar days by a post-effective amendment thereto, a supplement to the prospectus or a report filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or l5(d) of the Exchange Act, then, until the suspension is lifted or the Registration Statement required under Section 2.01(a), a post-effective amendment, supplement or report is filed with the SEC, but not including any day on which a suspension is lifted or such Registration Statement, amendment, supplement or report is filed with the SEC, if applicable, each Selling Holder shall be entitled to a payment (with respect to each Registrable Security) from the Company, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-calendar-day period, which shall accrue daily, for the first 60 calendar days immediately following the earlier of (x) the date on which the suspension or delay period exceeded the permitted period and (y) the 31st calendar day after such Shelf Registration Statement ceased to be effective or failed to be usable for its intended purposes, with such payment amount increasing by an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, which shall accrue daily, for each subsequent 30-calendar-day period (i.e., 0.5% for 61-90 calendar days, 0.75% for 91-120 calendar days and 1.00% thereafter), up to a maximum of 1.00% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period (the “Delay Liquidated Damages”). For purposes of this paragraph, a suspension or delay shall be deemed lifted with respect to a Selling Holder on the date that (A) notice that the suspension has been terminated is delivered to such Selling Holder, (B) the Registration Statement required under Section 2.01(a) is filed with the SEC, or (C) a post-effective amendment or supplement to the prospectus or report is filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Any Delay Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue pursuant to this paragraph upon the earlier of (1) a suspension or delay being deemed lifted and (2) when such Selling Holder no longer holds Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, and shall be payable within 10 Business Days after the end of each such 30-day period. Any amount of Delay Liquidated Damages shall be prorated for any period of less than 30 calendar days in which the payment of Delay Liquidated Damages ceases. Any Delay Liquidated Damages shall be paid to each Selling Holder in immediately available funds.

Section 2.04 Underwritten Offerings.
In the event that any Holder or Holders that are Affiliates of each other (the “Electing Holders”) elect to include, other than pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Agreement, at least the lesser of (i) $10.0 million of Registrable Securities in the aggregate (calculated based on the expected gross proceeds of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities) and (ii) 100% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by such Electing Holders under a Registration Statement pursuant to an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall, upon request by the Electing Holders (such request, an “Underwritten Offering Notice”), retain underwriters to permit the Electing Holders to effect such sale through an Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that each Holder, together with its Affiliates, shall have the option and right to require the Company to effect not more than two Underwritten Offerings in the aggregate, subject to a maximum of one Underwritten Offering during any 90-day period. Upon delivery of such Underwritten Offering Notice to the Company, the Company shall as soon as practicable (but in no event later than one Business Day following the date of delivery of the Underwritten Offering Notice to the Company) deliver notice of such Underwritten Offering Notice to all other Holders, who shall then have two Business Days from the date that such notice is given to them to notify the Company in writing of the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder that they want to be included in such Underwritten Offering. Any Holders notified about an Underwritten Offering by the Company after the Company has received the corresponding Underwritten Offering Notice may participate in such Underwritten Offering, but shall not count toward the $10.0 million of Registrable Securities required under clause (i) of this Section 2.04 to request an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Offering Notice. In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in such Underwritten Offering shall be entitled to select the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters, but only with the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In connection with an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Agreement in which a Selling Holder participates, each Selling Holder and the Company shall be obligated to enter into an underwriting agreement that contains such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements for firm commitment offerings of securities. No Selling Holder may participate in such Underwritten Offering unless such Selling Holder agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Each Selling Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters also be made to and for such Selling Holder’s benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also be conditions precedent to its obligations. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder, its authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities whose offer and resale will be registered, on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by Law. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an underwriting, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Company, the Electing Holders and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that any such withdrawal must be made no later than the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. If all Selling Holders withdraw from an Underwritten Offering prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering, the events will not be considered an Underwritten Offering and will not decrease the number of available Underwritten Offerings the Holders have the right and option to request under this Section 2.04. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Company’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2.08; provided, however, that if (A) certain Selling Holders withdraw from an Underwritten Offering after
10

the public announcement at launch (the “Launch”) of such Underwritten Offering (such Selling Holders, the “Post-Launch Withdrawing Selling Holders”), and (B) all Selling Holders withdraw from such Underwritten Offering prior to pricing, other than in either clause (A) or (B) as a result of the occurrence of any event that would reasonably be expected to permit the Company to exercise its rights to suspend the use of a Registration Statement or other registration statement pursuant to Section 2.03, then the Post-Launch Withdrawing Selling Holders shall pay for all reasonable Registration Expenses incurred by the Company during the period from the Launch of such Underwritten Offering until the time all Selling Holders withdraw from such Underwritten Offering.
Section 2.05 Sale Procedures.
In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;
(b) if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering (or Alternative Transaction) from a Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriter (or Alternative Transaction Counterparty) at any time shall notify the Company in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter (or Alternative Transaction Counterparty), inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering (or Alternative Transaction) of such Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement;
(c) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the SEC), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing a Registration Statement or such other registration statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement;
(d) if applicable, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering (or Alternative Transaction), the Managing Underwriter (or Alternative Transaction Counterparty), shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
11

(e) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of them under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the SEC with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;
(f) immediately notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by such Selling Holder under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Company agrees to as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto;
(g) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the SEC or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;
(h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering (or an Alternative Transaction, to the extent customary for such Alternative Transaction), furnish, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be furnished, to the underwriters (or the Alternative Transaction Counterparties, as the case may be) upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company dated the date of the closing under the agreement governing such sale and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the pricing date of the relevant transaction and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the agreement governing such sale, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “comfort” letter shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement included therein) as would be customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters (or Alternative Transaction Counterparties, as the case may be) in transactions of the type contemplated by such Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction (as the case may be) and such other matters as such underwriters and Selling Holders may reasonably request;;
12

(i) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, covering a period of twelve months beginning within three months after the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder;
(j) make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter (or Alternative Transaction Counterparties) and Selling Holders access to such information and the Company personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; provided, that the Company need not disclose any non-public information to any such representative unless and until such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company;
(k) if the minimum listing standards of the NYSE are satisfied, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which the Common Stock are then listed or quoted;
(l) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the Effective Date of such registration statement;
(m) enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities (including, making appropriate officers of the Company available to participate in any “road show” presentations before analysts, and other customary marketing activities (including one-on-one meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities)), provided, however, that in the event the Company, using reasonable best efforts, is unable to make such appropriate officers of the Company available to participate in connection with any “road show” presentations and other customary marketing activities (whether in person or otherwise), the Company shall make such appropriate officers available to participate via conference call or other means of communication in connection with no more than one “road show” presentation per Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction;
(n) if requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(o) if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall promptly deliver any authorizations, certificates, opinions or directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement; and
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05, the Company shall not name a Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in any Registration Statement without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the SEC requires the Company to name any Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and such Holder does not
13

consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on such Registration Statement, such Holder shall no longer be entitled to receive Liquidated Damages under this Agreement with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities and the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder, unless such Holder has not had an opportunity to conduct customary underwriter’s due diligence with respect to the Company at the time such Holder’s consent is sought.
Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.05(f), shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.05(f) or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder shall, or shall request the Managing Underwriter, if any, to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
Section 2.06 Cooperation by Holders.
The Company shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a) who has failed to timely furnish after receipt of a written request from the Company such information that the Company determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act, including, without limitation, the completion and submission by such Holder of any Selling Holder questionnaire required by the Company, and any such Holder shall not be entitled to Liquidated Damages or Delay Liquidated Damages in connection with the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 2.07 Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities.
Each Holder of Registrable Securities that participates in an Underwritten Offering will enter into a customary letter agreement with underwriters providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Stock Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar-day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the SEC with respect to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering (or such shorter period specified by the Managing Underwriter for such Underwritten Offering), provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the Company or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Company on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder. In addition, this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Holder that is not entitled to participate in such Underwritten Offering, whether because such Holder delivered an Opt-Out Notice prior to receiving notice of the Underwritten Offering or because such Holder (together with its Affiliates) holds less than the Piggyback Threshold Amount of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (calculated based on the Registrable Securities Amount) or because the Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be disposed of without restriction pursuant to any section of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect).
14

Section 2.08 Expenses.
(a) Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith by the Company, including, in the case of an Underwritten Offering (or Alternative Transaction), the reasonable Registration Expenses of an Underwritten Offering (or Alternative Transaction), regardless of whether any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering (or Alternative Transaction). Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. Each Selling Holder’s pro rata allocation of Selling Expenses shall be the percentage derived by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Securities sold by such Selling Holder in connection with such sale by (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities sold by all Selling Holders in connection with such sale. In addition, except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.09 hereof, the Company shall not be responsible for legal fees incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder.
(b) Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to the Company’s performance under or compliance with this Agreement to effect the registration of Registrable Securities on a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or an Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction covered under this Agreement, and the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and NYSE fees, all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, any transfer taxes, and the fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, including the expenses of any special audits or “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Selling Holders participating in such Registration Statement, Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction to effect the disposition of such Registrable Securities, selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially being registered under such Registration Statement or other registration statement as contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the reasonable consent of the Company. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting discounts and selling commissions or similar fees or arrangements allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, and fees and disbursements of counsel to the Selling Holders, except for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Selling Holders required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.08 and 2.09.
Section 2.09 Indemnification.
(a) By the Company. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees or agents (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in (which includes documents incorporated by reference in) such Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus
15

relating thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and shall reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or such other registration statement, or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.
(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus relating thereto; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.09. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.09 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent
16

of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the indemnified party.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, 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 Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall such Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other 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 has been made by, or 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 parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. 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.
(e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.
Section 2.10 Rule 144 Reporting.
With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect), at all times from and after the date hereof;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish, promptly upon request, (x) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
17

Company (it being understood that the availability of such report on the SEC’s EDGAR system shall satisfy this requirement) and (z) such other information as may be necessary to permit the Purchaser to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
Section 2.11 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights.
The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Purchaser by the Company under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by the Purchaser to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities, subject to the transfer restrictions provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Certificate, provided, however, that (a) the Company is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned and (b) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement.
