SECTION 3
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     3.1 Form S-3 Registration.

          (a) Filing of the Registration Statement. Within ninety (90) days of the initial date of this Agreement set forth above (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall file pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offerings of securities on a continuous or delayed basis (i) a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act (on Form S-3, if available) with respect to the registration for resale of the Conversion Shares (the “Shelf Registration”) and (ii) all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of the Conversion Shares. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Shelf Registration effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

          (b) Registration Effective Period. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to remain effective until such time as (i) none of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding or (ii) each Shareholder is permitted to sell its Potential Common Holdings to the market without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder. The period of time referred to in the immediately preceding sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Effective Period.”

          (c) Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Shareholders may distribute Conversion Shares in an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”) pursuant to a Shelf Registration under this Section 3.1 only with the written consent of the Company, which consent may be delayed, conditioned or withheld in the sole discretion of the Company.

          (d) Suspension of Shelf Registration. Upon delivery to the Shareholders of a certificate of the Company signed by its Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for offerings to be made pursuant to the Shelf Registration, the Shareholders shall immediately cease all offerings pursuant to the Shelf Registration for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of such certificate; provided, however, the Company shall not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period.

     3.2 Piggyback Registration.

          (a) Participation. If at any time the Shelf Registration is not effective during the Registration Period or the Registration Effective Period and the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any shares of Common Stock, whether for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms, or (ii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement) (a “Company Public Sale”), then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all Shareholders, and such notice shall offer the Shareholders the opportunity to Register under such Registration Statement such number of Conversion Shares as each such Shareholder may request in writing, not to exceed the aggregate number of Conversion Shares that such Shareholder holds or would hold upon conversion of its Preferred Stock (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 3.2(b), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Conversion Shares which are requested to be included therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such Shareholder of any such written notice of the proposed Company Public Sale; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to Register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to Register or to delay Registration of such securities, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Shareholder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to Register, shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Conversion Shares in connection with such Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith) and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registering, shall be permitted to delay Registering any Conversion Shares, for the same period as the delay in Registering such other securities. If the Company Public Sale pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be an Underwritten Offering, then each Shareholder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) (a “Participating Shareholder”) must participate in the underwriting agreement with respect thereto. If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, then each Participating Shareholder must, and the Company shall make such reasonable arrangements so that each Participating Shareholder may, participate in such offering on such basis. Each Shareholder shall be

permitted to withdraw all or part of such Shareholder’s portion of the Conversion Shares from a Piggyback Registration at any time.

          (b) Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of Conversion Shares included in a Piggyback Registration informs the Company and the Shareholders in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities which the Participating Shareholders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company seeks to include in such offering, and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Conversion Shares and all other securities proposed to be included in the offering that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having a materially adverse effect on the Underwritten Offering, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the Participating Shareholders and holders of such other securities based on the relative number of Conversion Shares and such other securities requested to be included therein then held by each such Participating Shareholder or other holder (subject to Section 3.6 below).

     3.3 Black-out Periods.

          (a) Black-out Periods for Holders. In the event of a Company Public Sale of the Company’s equity securities in an Underwritten Offering, the Shareholders agree, if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, not to directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) (except, in each case, as part of the applicable Registration, if permitted) that are the same as or similar to those being Registered in connection with such Company Public Sale, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven (7) days before and ending ninety (90) days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Company or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, to the extent timely notified in writing by the Company or the managing underwriter or underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Shareholder or any other person who is bound by obligations similar to those set forth in this Section 3.3 is released in whole or in part from the obligation not to effect any public sale or distribution, then the Shareholders shall be similarly released from such obligations at the same time on a pro rata basis.

     3.4 Registration Procedures.

          (a) In connection with the Company’s Registration obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.2, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

               (i) prepare the required Registration Statement including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (x) furnish to

               (v) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent or obtain the withdrawal of any stop order or other order suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus;

               (viii) deliver to each Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Shareholder or underwriter may reasonably request (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of such prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Shareholders and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Conversion Shares covered by such prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto) and such other documents as such Shareholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Conversion Shares by such Shareholder or underwriter;

               (ix) on or prior to the date on which the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Shareholders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of such Conversion Shares for offer and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as any Shareholder or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for such period as required by Section 3.1(b), provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

               (x) cooperate with the Shareholders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Conversion Shares to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Conversion Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least two business days prior to any sale of Conversion Shares to the underwriters;

Statement or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof or (y) in a preliminary prospectus, if a prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) that would have cured the defect was furnished to such indemnified party from whom the Person asserting the claim giving rise to such Loss purchased the Conversion Shares at least five (5) days prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Conversion Shares to such Person, and a copy of such prospectus (as amended and supplemented) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such indemnified party to such Person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Conversion Shares to such Person. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Shareholder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Shareholder.

          (b) Indemnification by the Shareholders. Each Shareholder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which any Conversion Shares were Registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or (ii) any 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 or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Shareholder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement. In no event shall the liability of any Shareholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Shareholder under the sale of the Conversion Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

          (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist

between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person 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 claim on behalf of such Person). No indemnifying party in the defense of any claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

          (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the 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 the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any 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 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 or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.8(d) 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. 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 3.8(d), the amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) 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 investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.8(d), in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, a Shareholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar

amount of the net proceeds received by such Shareholder under the sale of the Conversion Shares giving rise to such contribution obligation. If indemnification is available under this Section 3.8, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 3.8(c). The remedies provided for in this Section 3.8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

     3.9 Rules 144 and 144A. (a) The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Shareholder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144 or 144A under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any Shareholder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Shareholder to sell Conversion Shares and Preferred Shares without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Shareholder, the Company will deliver to such Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

     3.10 Termination. Except for the provisions of Sections 3.8 and 3.9, the registration rights provided for in this Section 3 shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date as of which none of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding or (ii) the date as of which each Shareholder is permitted to sell its Potential Common Holdings to the market without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder. The provisions of Sections 3.8 and 3.9 shall survive any such termination.

SECTION 4
GOVERNANCE

     4.1 Board Representation.

          (a) The Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Board to have at least one director who shall be designated by the holders of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation governing the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”).

     4.2 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse any director designated by the Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such director’s attendance at and participation in meetings of the Board, including without limitation, travel, lodging and meal expenses.

SECTION 5
MISCELLANEOUS

     5.1 Waiver by Shareholders. The rights and obligations contained in this Agreement are in addition to the relevant provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company in force from time to time and shall be construed to comply with such provisions. To the extent that this Agreement is determined to contravene the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company, this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by each Shareholder, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable laws, of any right such Shareholder may have pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company that is inconsistent with this Agreement.

     5.2 Assignment; Benefit. Prior to consummating any transfer of any Preferred Stock from any Shareholder to any Person (other than in connection with a registered sale pursuant to Section 3 hereof), the transferring Shareholder shall cause each prospective transferee thereof to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. Any assignment of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 5.2 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement other than the indemnitees under Section 3.8.

     5.3 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as to any Shareholder at such time as such Shareholder ceases to own any Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 3.8, 4.1, 4.2, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11 shall survive the termination of this agreement.

     5.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable such provision shall be construed by limiting it so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent provided by law and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     5.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or oral, of any kind and every nature with respect hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived in whole or in part at any time without an agreement in writing executed by the Company and a Majority of Shareholders. No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

     5.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     5.7 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, consents, approvals, reports, designations, requests, waivers, elections and other communications authorized or required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given, made or delivered (and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made or delivered upon receipt) by personal hand-delivery, by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, by mailing the same in a sealed envelope, registered first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, addressed to the Shareholders at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for Shareholders as shall be specified by like notice):

     5.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to a contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

     5.9 Jurisdiction. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.

York in New York County or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Proceeding for itself and in respect to its properties, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, provided, however, that such consent to jurisdiction is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 5.9 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to the jurisdiction of said courts or in the State of New York other than for such purpose.

     5.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT SUCH PARTY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE DEALINGS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 5.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     5.11 Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them by Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
