Piggyback Registration.  


(a)

2




(b)

In the event that any Piggyback Registration shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and/or other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of shares which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company  without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company  will include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company  proposes to sell; (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and/or other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata from among the Holders  according to the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; and (iii) third to other shareholders requesting registration pro rata.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting under this Section 2(b) shall not be reduced to less than thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate securities requested to be included by the Holders in such registration without prior consent of at least a majority of the Holders who have requested their shares to be included in such registration and underwriting.


(c)

The right of the holders of Registrable Securities to have their securities registered in a Piggyback Registration shall terminate at the earlier of (i) three (3) years following the consummation of the offering detailed in the Subscription Agreement, or (ii) as to any Investor, such earlier time at which any Registrable Securities held by such Investor (together with any affiliate of the Investor with whom such Investor must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act.


3.

Registration on Form S-3.  


(a)

In addition to the rights under Section 2 hereof, if at any time (i) a Holder or Holders of at least 20% of the total Registrable Securities then outstanding request(s) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor thereto for a public offering of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such requesting holder or holders, where the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of this public offering would exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such Registrable Securities, then the Company  shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any successor thereto, the number of Registrable Securities specified in such notice; provided, however, that the Company  shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 3:


(i)

at any time prior to six months following the effective date of a registration statement for the offering of its securities effected under Section 2;


(ii)

in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process unless it is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as required by the Securities Act;


(iii)

if the Company , within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request of such Holders, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction, an offering solely to employees or any other registration which is not appropriate for the registration of Registrable Securities);


(iv)

if the Company  furnishes to such Holders a certificate signed by the Company’s  Chief Executive Officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s  Board of Directors, as the case may be, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company  and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed on or before the date filing would be required and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, in which case the Company  shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the furnishing of such a certificate of deferral; provided, however, that this right may be exercised only once in any twelve (12) month period; or


(v)

after the Company  has effected two (2) such registration statements pursuant to this Section 3.


(b)

The right of the holders of Registrable Securities to have their securities registered on Form S-3 under this Section 3 shall terminate at the earlier of (i) three (3) years following the consummation of the offering detailed in the Subscription Agreement, or (ii) as to any Investor, such earlier time at which any Registrable Securities held by such Investor (together with any affiliate of the Investor with whom such Investor must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

(b)

Each Investor hereby irrevocably appoints the Company (and all officers designated by the Company) (“Attorney”) to act as his or its true and lawful agents and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, (i) to negotiate with the Company  and the managing underwriter(s) for the IPO the terms and conditions of the holdback agreements of the Investors and any other restrictions on the right of such Investor to sell his or its shares of Registrable Securities which shall be imposed by the managing underwriter(s) for such offering (including, without limitation, the length of the Holdback Period, and the other rights of such Investor to sell his or its Registrable Securities), (ii) to negotiate with the Company and any third party the terms and conditions of any agreements affecting the rights of such Investor under this Agreement in connection with any other Liquidity Event and (iii) to execute and deliver any and all documents, agreements and instruments and to take any and all actions, in the name of and on behalf of such Investor, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing on such terms and conditions as the Attorney approves in good faith his –commercially reasonable judgment.  No person to whom this Power of Attorney is presented, as authority for Attorney to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek confirmation from the holder of Registrable Securities as to the authority of Attorney to take any action or actions described above, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this Power of Attorney, which is intended to grant to Attorney unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein,.  The Power of Attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest, and may not be revoked or canceled by an Investor without Attorney’s written consent.  The Investor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said Attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

(b)

In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant hereto, each seller of such Registrable Securities thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company and each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company  or such officer, director, or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant hereto, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, manager, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller furnished in writing to the Company  by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and provided, further, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the Registrable Securities sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity provided in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of such indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.


(c)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action or claim, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 7 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 7 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.


(d)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Registrable Securities exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 7 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7, then, and in each such case, the Company  and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, and the Company  is responsible for the remaining portion; provided, that, in any such case, (A) no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement and (B) 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.
