SECTION 2

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing and Initial Effectiveness. No later than (i) the expiration of all lock-up agreements entered into by the Company and certain of its officers and directors in connection with the Initial Public Offering or (ii) one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, whichever date is later, the Company shall file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and, thereafter, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within ninety (90) days of such filing.

(b) Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Vector until the date as of which all Registrable Securities of Vector have been resold (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Company shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Vector not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.

-3-

(c) Shelf Notice. In the event that Vector notifies the Company in writing that it wishes to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of Vector’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such notice as expeditiously as reasonably practicable. In addition, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall deliver a written notice to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder shall be entitled to include in such sale up to the number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder by written notice to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of such notice from the Company.

(d) Limitations on Shelf Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) If the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holders at any one time pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement will not exceed five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding Common Stock of the Company; or

(ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

2.2 Requested Registration.

(a) Request for Registration.

(i) If, commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, there is no currently effective Shelf Registration Statement on file with the Commission, Vector may make a written request to the Company for registration of Registrable Securities held by it (a “Requested Registration”). Each such request for a Requested Registration shall specify the kind and aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended methods of disposition thereof.

(ii) The Company shall promptly give written notice of the Requested Registration to all other Holders and as soon as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days of a request for a Requested Registration) shall file a registration statement relating to such Requested Registration (a “Requested Registration Statement”), and use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration and to keep such Requested Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution as expeditiously as reasonably practicable of all or such portion of Vector’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.

-4-

(b) Limitations on Requested Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2:

(i) If the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holders at any one time pursuant to the Requested Registration Statement will not exceed five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding Common Stock of the Company;

(iii) After the Company has initiated two (2) Requested Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2 (counting for these purposes only (x) registrations which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (y) Withdrawn Registrations); or

(iv) Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a Company-initiated registration (or ending on the subsequent date on which all market stand-off agreements applicable to such offering have terminated, such stand-off period not to exceed ninety (90) days from such date of effectiveness); provided that the Company shall not be entitled to preempt a Requested Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(iv) more than once in any 12-month period.

(c) Withdrawal. Vector may withdraw a Requested Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Requested Registration Statement. Upon receipt of notice to such effect, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Requested Registration Statement and such registration nonetheless shall be deemed a Requested Registration for purposes of Section 2.2(a) unless (i) Vector shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for all of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the registration of such withdrawn Registrable Securities or (ii) the withdrawal is made following notice from the Company that the registration would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure.

2.3 Additional Provisions Applicable to Sales Pursuant to Shelf Registration Statement and Requested Registration Statements.

(a) Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Shelf Registration Statement or a Requested Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such action to all Holders requesting the sale of Registrable Securities thereunder, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, such Registration Statement (a “Suspension”); provided that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Suspension (i) more than two times during any 12-month period, or (ii) for a period exceeding ninety (90) days in any 12-month period. In the case of a Suspension, each such Holder agrees to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, promptly upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall promptly notify each such Holder upon the termination of any Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to each such Holder such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as such Holder may reasonably request.

(b) Other Shares. The Shelf Registration Statement or a Requested Registration Statement may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.

(i) If Vector intends to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Requested Registration Statement by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.2(a) and the Company shall include such information in the written notice given to the other Holders. Vector shall, on behalf of all such Holders (and also the Company if the Company shall request inclusion of its securities in any such registration), offer to include their securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2.3(c). The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by Vector, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(ii) The price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 shall be determined by Vector and each of the other Holders may withdraw their request to participate in such registration after being advised of such price, discount and other terms and shall not be required to enter into any agreements or documentation that would require otherwise.

(iii) If a person who has requested inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement or a Requested Registration Statement as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from Vector or the managing underwriter, but any Registrable Securities so excluded shall not be withdrawn from registration. If shares are so excluded and if the number of shares to be included in such registration are reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 2.3(d), then the Company shall then offer to all Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so excluded, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth in Section 2.3(d).

(d) Priority of Securities Sold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriters advise Vector in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among all Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder and (ii) second, to the Company, which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other holders or employees of the Company.

2.4 Company Registration.

(a) Company Registration. If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Holders; and

-6-

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 2.4(b) below, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

(b) Underwriting.

(i) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i)2.4(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.

(ii) If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter, but any Registrable Securities so excluded shall not be withdrawn from registration. If shares are so excluded and if the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the Company shall then offer to all persons who have retained the right to include securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so excluded, with such shares to be allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion, in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(c).

(c) Priority of Securities Sold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated, as follows: (i) first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account and (ii) second, to the Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders.

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.4 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(e) No Effect on Shelf or Requested Registrations. No registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Sections 2.1 or 2.2.

-7-

2.5 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration effected pursuant to Section 2 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any Requested Registration proceeding begun, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by Vector, unless Vector agrees to forfeit its right to one (1) Requested Registration pursuant to Section 2.2.

2.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 2, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof.

(i) Promptly notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing, and following such notification promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall 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 or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing;

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors, stockholders, members and general or limited partners, each person controlling such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each Holder’s legal counsel and accountants, each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against any and all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities, joint or several, or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance any registration statement, any Prospectus included in the registration statement, any issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act), any issuer information (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or any other document incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company, (ii) any 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 or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such indemnified person for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon

-11-

written information furnished to the Company by such indemnified person and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided, however, that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the Company from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Company. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, stockholders, members and general or limited partners, and each person controlling each other such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such indemnified persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Holder from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of Such Holder; and provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.7, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not

-12-

include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Loss as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person or entity will be required under this Section 2.7(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such person or entity, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such person or entity. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in this agreement shall control.

2.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2.

2.9 Delay of Registration. Other than as set forth in this Section 2, no Holder shall have any right to take any action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company is not currently a party to, and from and after the date of this Agreement the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Vector, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are on parity with or senior to, or inconsistent with, the registration rights granted to Vector hereunder.

2.11 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) Make and keep adequate current public information with respect to the Company available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the Initial Public Offering; and

-13-

(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements.

2.12 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of each Holder to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2 shall terminate on such date, on or after the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, on which (i) all shares of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Holder (together with its affiliates) constitute less than five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding Common Stock of the Company and (ii) such Registrable Securities may immediately be resold by such Holder under Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period without any volume limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder.

2.13 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of Vector (but not any Key Holder) to cause the Company to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be transferred or assigned without the consent of the Company to any transferee that (i) together with its affiliates, will beneficially own, after giving effect to such transfer or assignment, more than one percent (1%) of the then-outstanding Common Stock of the Company and (ii) has delivered to the Company in advance a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such Registrable Securities shall remain subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Registrable Securities prior to such transfer or assignment. A transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 2.13 may not again transfer such rights to any person, other than as provided in this Section 2.13.
