In no event shall any Registrable Shares be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities have been first excluded. For purposes of Section 2(b)(i), a registration shall not be counted as “effective” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2(b)(iii), fewer than 50% of the total number of Registrable Shares that the Series E Holders, Series F Holders and Series G Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

(iv) If the holders of the Registrable Shares requesting to be included in a registration pursuant to Section 2(a) so elect, the offering of such Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering.

Section 3. Piggyback Registration. If the Corporation at any time proposes for any reason to register Primary Shares or Other Shares under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor forms thereto)), it shall give written notice to the Investors of its intention to so register such Primary Shares or Other Shares at least 30 days before the initial filing of the registration statement related thereto and, upon the request of the Investors, delivered to the Corporation within 20 days after delivery of any such notice by the Corporation, to include in such registration Registrable Shares (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such registration), the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter advises the Corporation that the inclusion of all Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Primary Shares or Other Shares proposed to be registered by the Corporation, then the number of Primary Shares, Registrable Shares and Other Shares proposed to be included in such registration shall be included in the order set forth in Section 2(b)(iii); provided further, that for an offering other than an IPO, the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock, the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock and the shares of Series E Preferred Stock may not be limited to less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total offering.

Section 4. Registrations on Form S-3. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2 to the contrary, at such time as the Corporation shall have qualified for the use of Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor form thereto, the Series E Holders, the Series F Holders and the Series G Holders shall have the right to request registrations of their Registrable Shares, in each case, on Form S-3 (which may, at such holders’ request, be shelf registrations pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act) or its successor form, which request or requests shall (i) specify the number of such Registrable Shares intended to be sold or disposed of and the holders thereof, (ii) state whether the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares is an underwritten offering or a shelf registration and (iii) relate to Registrable Shares having an aggregate offering price of at least $1,000,000. A requested registration on Form S-3 (or its successor form) in compliance with this Section 4 shall not count as a registration statement initiated pursuant to Section 2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 4 if the Corporation has effected two registrations pursuant to this Section 4 within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request.

Section 5. Holdback Agreement. In connection with the IPO, each Investor agrees that he, she or it, shall not sell publicly, make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose publicly of, any Restricted Shares (other than sales or dispositions to members of his, her or its Group and other than with respect to those shares of Common Stock included in such registration) without the prior written consent of the Corporation, for a period (the “Lockup Period”) designated by the Corporation in writing to the Investors, which period shall begin not more than 2 days prior to the Registration Date and shall not last more than 180 days after the Registration Date; provided, however, that (i) the Lockup Period shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, (ii) all executive officers, directors and holders of one percent (1%) or more of the capital stock of the Corporation on a Fully-Diluted Basis must agree to a Lockup Period of at least the same duration and on substantially similar terms and (iii) all parties subject to a Lockup Period shall only be released early from their obligations thereunder on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period, the Corporation issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Corporation occurs; or (ii) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, the Corporation announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day period, the restrictions imposed by this Section 5 shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

(c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until all of such Registrable Shares have been disposed of and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Shares;

- 11 -


controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any statement or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or otherwise filed with the Commission, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation or such underwriter by such holder of Registrable Shares specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement or document; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such holder of Registrable Shares (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided, further, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each holder of Registrable Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such registration.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, 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 the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided hereunder, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party (but shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim.

(d) If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such

 

- 12 -


indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 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 agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person and no contribution by any holder of Registrable Shares, when combined with any amounts paid by such holder pursuant to Section 8(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such holder.

Section 9. Information by Holder. The Investors shall furnish to the Corporation such written information regarding the Investors and the distribution proposed by any Investors as the Corporation may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement.

From the Registration Date or such earlier date as a registration statement filed by the Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act relating to any class of the Corporation’s securities shall have become effective, the Corporation shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to it and shall comply with all other public information reporting requirements of the Commission which are conditions to the availability of Rule 144. The Corporation shall cooperate with the Investors in supplying such information as may be necessary for the Investors to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144.

Section 11. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Shares then held by all Investors, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Corporation that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include any of such securities in any registration filed under Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Shares of the Investors that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.

Section 12. Termination. The rights contained herein shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) five (5) years after the IPO, or (ii) as to any holder of Registrable Shares, such earlier time after the IPO at which such holder (A) can sell all shares held by it in compliance with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) or (ii) holds 1% or less of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Shares held by such holder (together with any Affiliate of the holder with whom such holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any 3 month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144.

Section 13. Benefits of Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Corporation, the Investors and subject to Section 14, the respective successors and assigns of the Corporation and the Investors.

Each Investor may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser or transferee of Registrable Shares; provided, however, that such purchaser or transferee shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, be required to execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be treated as an Investor whereupon such purchaser or transferee shall have the benefits of, and shall be subject to the restrictions contained in, this Agreement as if such purchaser or transferee was originally included in the definition of an Investor herein and had originally been a party hereto. The Corporation may not assign any rights hereunder without the consent of the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Shares.
