The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly replace any Shelf Registration Statement at or before expiration, if applicable, with a successor effective Shelf Registration Statement until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding.

(b) Right to Request Shelf Take-Down. At any time and from time to time during the Shelf Period, the Anchor Shareholder and the Other Shareholder may, by written notice to the Company, request an offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Shareholder (a “Shelf Take-Down”). The Anchor Shareholder or the Other Shareholder may, after any Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) specifying that a Shelf Take-Down is intended to be conducted through an underwritten offering (including by means of a Block Trade) (such underwritten offering, an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), which notice shall specify the number and type of Registrable Securities intended to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof; provided that the Anchor Shareholder and the Other Shareholder may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, request an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down the reasonably anticipated aggregate gross proceeds of which shall be less than the Minimum Amount, unless the number of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering represents all of such Shareholder’s remaining Registrable Securities. The Company and the Anchor Shareholder or the Other Shareholder participating in an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down will enter into an underwriting agreement (including a customary lock-up, not to exceed ninety (90) days, if requested by the managing underwriter(s) in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such offering). The Company may include in any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (other than a Block Trade) pursuant to this Section 2(b) any additional securities of the same class without the prior written consent of the Anchor Shareholder or the Other Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if the Anchor Shareholder or the Other Shareholder wishes to engage in (i) a Shelf Take-Down in the form of a Block Trade, (1) such Shareholder shall notify the Company of the Block Trade not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the day such Block Trade is to commence, (2) Persons other than the Anchor Shareholder and the Other Shareholder shall not be entitled to make a demand for, receive notice of, or elect to participate in, such Block Trade and (3) such Shareholder shall not be required to notify any other Person (except the Anchor Shareholder or Other Shareholder, as applicable) of such Block Trade or permit any other Person to participate in such Block Trade, or (ii) a Shelf Take-Down that is not an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (1) such Shelf Take-Down may be made for less than the Minimum Amount, (2) Persons other than the Anchor Shareholder or the Other Shareholder shall not be entitled to make a demand for, receive notice of, or elect to participate in, such Shelf Take-Down and (3) such Shareholder shall not be required to notify any other Person of such Shelf Take-Down or permit any other Person to participate in such Shelf Take-Down, and (B) any Shareholder not included in a Block Trade shall not be subject to any underwriter lock-up or be required to enter into or sign any lock-up in connection with such Block Trade. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company will not be in breach of this Agreement if an underwriter will not agree to the lock-up terms required by this Section 2(b).

(c) [reserved].

(d) Limitations on Shelf Take-Downs. During the Shelf Period, the Anchor Shareholder and Other Shareholder shall each be entitled to request a maximum of four (4) Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs (including Block Trades) pursuant to Section 2(b); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including a Block Trade) within ninety (90) days after the pricing date of a previous Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, in each case, that is a marketed underwritten deal (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding a Block Trade). Any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including a Block Trade) must be for at least the Minimum Amount, unless the number of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering

7

represents all of the remaining Registrable Securities of the initiating Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Shareholders shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Shelf Take-Downs that are not Underwritten Shelf-Take Downs and such Shelf Take-Downs may be made for less than the Minimum Amount (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of such non-underwritten Shelf-Take Downs, the Company shall not be required to perform the obligations applicable to underwritten offerings as set forth in Section 3).

(e) Piggyback Registration. If the Company proposes or is required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock or similar equity securities of the Company, or the Company proposes a shelf take-down (other than (i) a Block Trade, (ii) an at-the-market offering or (iii) a Shelf Take-Down by a Shareholder that is not an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more securityholders of the Company, on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of the Registrable Securities, other than any Special Registration, the Company shall give written notice as promptly as practicable, but not later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated date of filing of such Registration Statement, or in the case of a shelf take-down, no later than five (5) days prior to the anticipated shelf take-down, to the Shareholders of its intention to effect such registration or shelf take-down and, in the case of each Shareholder, shall include in such registration or shelf take-down all of such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities (subject to Section 2(h)) with respect to which the Company has received a written request from such Shareholder for inclusion therein within three (3) days after the Company’s notice is given to such Shareholder (a “Piggyback Registration” and any such requesting Shareholder that has not withdrawn its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration, a “Piggyback Shareholder” with respect to such Piggyback Registration). In the event that a Shareholder makes such written request, such Shareholder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s), if any, at any time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration or the date of the launch of the shelf take-down. The Company may postpone (provided that Piggyback Shareholders are given the option to withdraw their Registrable Securities from such postponed Piggyback Registration), terminate or withdraw any Piggyback Registration under this Section 2(e), whether or not any Shareholder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. No Piggyback Registration shall count as an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to which the Shareholders are entitled.

(f) Selection of Underwriters; Right to Participate. The Anchor Shareholder or the Other Shareholder (if the Anchor Shareholder is not participating in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or participating in an amount less than the Minimum Amount) or, in the case of a Block Trade, the Shareholder that initiated such Block Trade, shall have the right to select the managing underwriter(s) to administer an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down; provided that (i) such managing underwriter(s) are reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) in the event that the Other Shareholder initiated such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and the Anchor Shareholder is participating in an amount greater than the Minimum Amount, the managing underwriter(s) will be jointly selected by the Anchor Shareholder and the Other Shareholder, in each case, acting reasonably. If a Piggyback Registration under Section 2(e) hereof is proposed to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Shareholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof. In such event, the managing underwriter(s) to administer the offering shall be chosen solely by the Company. A Shareholder may participate in a registration or offering

8

hereunder only if such Shareholder agrees to sell such Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement with the underwriter(s) and completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up agreements and other documents reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter(s) under the terms of such underwriting arrangements customary for selling Shareholders to enter into in secondary underwritten public offerings; provided that the Shareholders shall only be required to make representations and warranties to the Company or the underwriters that are customary for such offerings under the circumstances (in no event, however, will the Shareholders be required to represent to the accuracy of the Company’s disclosure, other than information specifically related to such Shareholder’s ownership position (including the lack of liens on such shares), the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Shareholder and the name and address of such Shareholder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the Shareholders as are customarily made by issuers to selling Shareholders in secondary underwritten public offerings.

(g) Priority of Securities Offered Pursuant to Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. If the managing underwriter(s) of an offering pursuant to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall advise the Company and the Shareholders in writing that, in its good faith opinion, the total number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down exceeds the number or dollar amount that can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be so sold without having such adverse effect, allocated (i) first, to Registrable Securities requested by the Shareholders to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, pro rata among all such Shareholders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities held by such Shareholders, (ii) second, if the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be so sold without having such adverse effect is not reached under the foregoing subclause (i), to any securities requested to be included therein by the Company and (iii) third, if the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be so sold without having such adverse effect is not reached under the foregoing subclauses (i) and (ii), to any securities requested to be included therein by any other Persons, allocated among such Persons on a pro rata basis or in such other manner as they may agree.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Shareholder, its Affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, penalties, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and any expenses and reasonable and documented costs of investigation) (“Losses”), as incurred, to which the Shareholders or any such indemnitees may become subject under the Securities 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered and sold under the Securities Act, any Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, any such Prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about a Shareholder that is furnished to the Company by such Shareholder or its authorized representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Shareholder for any purpose of this Agreement (including Section 4(b)) consists of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Shareholder, the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Shareholder and the name and address of such Shareholder or (ii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with any registration or offering hereunder. 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 to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by Law (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4(a)), the Company, its Affiliates, officers, directors, and each Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from such Registration Statement, any Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Shareholder furnished to the Company by such Shareholder or its authorized representative expressly for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Shareholder consists of the information described as such in Section 4(a); provided that a Shareholder shall not be liable for any amounts in excess of the net

17

proceeds received by such Shareholder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement to which the claims relate; provided, further, that the obligations of the Shareholders shall be several and not joint and several. 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 the Company.

(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, such indemnified party shall permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to 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 to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the person entitled to indemnification hereunder or (iii) in the indemnified party’s reasonable judgment (based upon advice of its counsel) there may be material legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party or a conflict of interest may exist between it or other indemnified parties and the indemnifying party with respect to any such claim. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise, except with the consent of the indemnified party, unless (x) such settlement or compromise (i) contains a full and unconditional release of all indemnified parties of all liability in respect of or arising out of all such claims or proceedings that are the subject matter of such proceeding and all claims and proceedings in respect of which the indemnified party could have been subject to claims or proceedings based upon the actions or inactions underlying such claims or proceedings, (ii) imposes no liability or obligation on the indemnified party, (iii) does not contain any statement of wrongdoing, culpability, malfeasance or fault by or on behalf of the indemnified party and (iv) provides only for a cash payment that is paid in full by the indemnifying party or (y) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

18

(d) Contribution. If the foregoing indemnity is held by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to the Company or any Shareholder, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 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 of 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 relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no Shareholder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the net proceeds received by such Shareholder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement to which the claims relate (after taking into account the amount of damages which such Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto related to such sale of Registrable Securities).

(e) No Exclusivity. The remedies provided for in this Section 4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may be available to any indemnified party at Law or in equity or pursuant to any other agreement.

Section 5 Covenants Relating to Rule 144. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder (provided, that if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Shareholder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and (y) take such further action as any Shareholder may reasonably request in writing, in each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Shareholder to, if permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Investment Agreement and the Registrable Securities, transfer such Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the written request of any Shareholder, the Company will deliver to such Shareholder a written statement that it has complied with such requirements, subject to its compliance with such requirements. The Company shall, upon any request by a Shareholder in connection with a sale, transfer or other disposition by any Shareholder of any Registrable Securities permitted by Rule 144, (i) use its reasonable best efforts

19

to promptly (and in no event longer than five (5) Business Days after such request) cause the removal of any restrictive legend or similar restriction on the Registrable Securities, and, in the case of book-entry shares, make or cause to be made appropriate notifications on the books of the Company’s transfer agent for such number of shares and registered in such names as the Shareholders may reasonably request and (ii) provide a customary opinion of counsel and instruction letter required by the Company’s transfer agent in connection with such sale, transfer or disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided that the taking of such action by the Company is conditioned on the Company receiving all information and documentation reasonably necessary to support such actions and make a determination that such transfer applies with Law.

Section 6. Termination; Survival. The rights of each Shareholder hereunder shall terminate upon the date that all of the Registrable Securities held by such Shareholder cease to be Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the parties under Sections 4, 5 and 7 and this Section 6 shall survive the termination hereof.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.
