determine whether the Subscriber's subscription to purchase Shares should be accepted by the Company in light of the requirements of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, similar sections of the securities laws of various states, and other relevant factors. The Subscriber understands that (a) the Company will rely on the information contained herein for purposes of such determination, (b) the Shares will not be registered under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from registration afforded under the Act, which may include Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”), and (c) the Shares, at the time of sale described herein, will not be registered and/or qualified under any state securities laws. Subscriber also represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

                A.        Advisors. Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it has been advised to consult with their own attorney regarding legal matters concerning the Company and the Shares and to consult with its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of acquiring the Shares. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has acted as financial advisor to the Company (and not as an underwriter or placement agent for the Shares) and has not acted as an advisor to, and does not represent, Subscriber.

                B.        Private Placement Memorandum and Access to SEC Filings. Subscriber has received and has had a full opportunity to review the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum, including the description of the Shares and Risk Factors contained therein. Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it has had full access to the Company’s public filings made pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which access can be gained at http://www.sec.gov, http://www.gsionline.com, http://www.freeedgar.com and http://www.10kwizard.com. By entering into this Agreement, the undersigned Subscriber acknowledges receipt of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and the proxy statement for the 2009 annual meeting.

                C.        Shares Not Registered. Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other Securities laws but are being offered and sold to Subscribers in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of Federal and State securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Subscribers to acquire the Shares.

                D.        Investment Experience. The Subscriber is a sophisticated, accredited and experienced investor with regard to high-risk investments in restricted securities of the sort referred to herein, and is willing and able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares in an amount equal to the amount the Subscriber has subscribed to purchase. The Subscriber has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares. The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company of the size contemplated.

The Subscriber has submitted to the Company a complete and executed “Accredited Investor Questionnaire” substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Subscriber hereby certifies that he, she or it is an “Accredited Investor”, as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act and all information which the Subscriber has provided to the Company in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire is correct and complete as of the date set forth thereon.

                G.        Investment Purpose. The Shares are being acquired by the Subscriber in good faith for investment and not with a view to distributing such Shares to others or otherwise reselling said Shares or any portion thereof. The Subscriber understands that the substance of the above representations is (i) that the Subscriber does not presently intend to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares; (ii) that the Subscriber does not now have in mind the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Shares on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event; and (iii) that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations.

                H.        Investment Risks. The Subscriber understands that the purchase of the Shares is subject to risks as stated in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum, and the Risk Factors disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings or as otherwise may be applicable to similar investments.

                I.        Due Diligence.

The Subscriber agrees to comply with Rule 144 which permits resales of shares by persons not affiliated with the Company only if the shares have been held for at least six months. Subscriber acknowledges that due to the Share’s status as “restricted securities” it may not be possible to liquidate the undersigned’s investment in the Company during Rule 144‘s six month holding period (the holding period is one year if the Subscriber is deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Company).

                L.        SEC Disclosure. The Subscriber understands that any investor individually, or acting as part of a group who acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5.0% of the Company’s common stock will be required to file a Schedule 13G or a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                M.        Federal Reserve Board Approval. The Subscriber understands that an acquisition of the Company’s common stock in an amount that would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 9.9% of the Company’s common stock outstanding at such time will be subject to the Change in Bank Control Act, Regulation Y and related rules and regulations and would require notices filings and Federal Reserve Board advance approval under applicable banking laws and regulations.

                N.        Legend. The Subscriber understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions relating to the Shares will be placed in the Company’s stock transfer ledger, and that the certificates evidencing such securities will bear legends in substantially the following form:

  “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE ISSUER.”  

Please refer to Section K. above for additional information about transfer restrictions and resale procedures.

                O.        Binding Obligation. This Agreement when fully executed and accepted by the Company will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (a) as its obligations may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws, or by equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and (b) that the remedies of specific performance, injunction and other forms of equitable relief are subject to certain tests of equity jurisdiction, equitable defenses and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought. The Subscriber, if it is a partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust or other entity, was not formed or organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares. The purchase of the Shares by the Subscriber, if it is an entity, is a permissible investment in accordance with the Subscriber’s Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, articles of organization, declaration of trust or other similar charter document, and has been duly approved by all requisite action by the entity’s owners, directors, officers or other authorized managers.

                P.        No General Solicitation. The Shares were not offered to the Subscriber by way of general solicitation or general advertising and at no time was the Subscriber presented with or solicited by means of any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio or televisions advertisement.

                Q.        Future Issuances. The Company may in the future issue additional preferred stock, senior debt, subordinated debt, and/or common stock.

The outstanding Series A Preferred Shares have an aggregate liquidation amount of $31,290,000. The fact that the Shares are junior to the Series A Preferred Shares means that the Company may not pay to the holders of the Shares any dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation or winding up of the Company unless the Company has first paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares the amounts to which the holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled.

                D.        Binding Obligation. Assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms except (a) as its obligations may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws, or by equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and (b) that the remedies of specific performance, injunction and other forms of equitable relief are subject to certain tests of equity jurisdiction, equitable defenses and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.

                E.        No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, including the issuance and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, are not in contravention of or in conflict with any contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties may be bound or affected.

        10.        SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements made herein shall survive issuance of the Shares.

        11.        WAIVERS. No waiver or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing.

        4.        Dividends.

        (a)        Rate. Holders shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, but only out of assets legally available therefor, non-cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, unless that next succeeding day falls in the next calendar year, in which case payment of such dividend will occur on the immediately preceding Business Day (in either case, without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) (each such day on which dividends are payable a “Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock or any Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period.” Dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share at a rate per annum equal to nine percent (9.0%). The record date for payment of any declared dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will be the 15th day of the last month in each calendar quarter (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date will be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day. The amount of dividends payable will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Dividends shall be payable in cash.


        (b)        Non-Cumulative Dividends. If the Company’s Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof does not declare a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock for any Dividend Period prior to the related Dividend Payment Date, that dividend will not accrue, and the Company will have no obligation to pay, and Holders shall have no right to receive, a dividend for that Dividend Period on the related Dividend Payment Date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred stock or common stock are declared for any subsequent Dividend Period with respect to Series B Preferred Stock, Junior Stock or any other class or series of authorized preferred stock of the Company. References herein to the “accrual” of dividends refer only to the determination of the amount of such dividend and do not imply that any right to a dividend arises prior to the date on which a dividend is declared.


        (c)        Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless as to a Dividend Payment Date, full dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those dividends has been set aside for the Dividend Period then ending, the Company will not, and will cause its subsidiaries not to, during the next succeeding Dividend Period that commences on such Dividend Payment Date, declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions relating to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment relating to, any Junior Stock or Parity Stock, or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto, other than:

                (i)        purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of Junior Stock or Parity Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;


                (ii)        purchases of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy stock existing prior to the commencement of the then-current dividend period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan; or


                (iii)        as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of Junior Stock or Parity Stock for any other class or series of Junior Stock or Parity Stock, respectively.


  The foregoing restriction, however, will not apply to any Junior Stock or Parity Stock dividends paid by the Company where the dividend stock is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid.

  Except as provided below, for so long as any share of Series B Preferred Stock or Parity Stock remains outstanding, if dividends are not declared and paid in full upon the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock will be declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the then-current Dividend Period per share of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock bear to each other.

  Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends payable in cash, stock or otherwise, as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available for such payment, and Holders will not be entitled to participate in those dividends.

        (d)        Conversion Following A Record Date. If a Conversion Date for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock is prior to the close of business on a Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend for the then-current Dividend Period, the Holder of such shares will not be entitled to any such dividend. If the Conversion Date for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock is after the close of business on a Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend for the then-current Dividend Period, but prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive such dividend, notwithstanding the conversion of such shares prior to the Dividend Payment Date. However, such shares, upon surrender for conversion, must be accompanied by funds equal to the dividend on such shares; provided that no such payment need be made (i) if the Company has issued a notice of a Sale Transaction during the then-current Dividend Period, or (ii) if the Company has issued a notice of conversion at its option of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Holders shall not be entitled to any further payments in the event of any such Liquidation Event other than what is expressly provided for in this Section 5.


        (b)        Partial Payment. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference plus any dividends which have been declared but not yet paid to all Holders and holders of Parity Stock, the amounts paid to the Holders and holders of Parity Stock shall be pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled.


        (c)        Residual Distributions. If the respective aggregate liquidating distributions to which all Holders and holders of Parity Stock are entitled have been paid, the holders of Junior Stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Company according to their respective rights and preferences.


        6.        Sale Transaction; Notice of Dividends


        (a)        Liquidation Event. A Sale Transaction shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation Event for purposes of these Designations.

        7.        Right of the Holders to Convert.

        (a)        General. Each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of such Holder’s Series B Preferred Stock at any time into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate per share of Series B Preferred Stock (subject to the conversion procedures of Section 8 and the other provisions hereof), plus cash in lieu of fractional shares.


        (b)        Beneficial Ownership Limitation (Federal Reserve). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Designations, no Holder will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion pursuant to these Designations to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause such converting holder to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the converting Holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. The limitations contained in this Section 7(b) shall apply to any successor Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.


        (c)        Beneficial Ownership Limitation (NASDAQ). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Designations, no Holder will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion pursuant to these Designations to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause such converting holder to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 19.9% of the voting power of the Company, following such conversion, unless the Company obtains the requisite shareholder approval under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(B) (the “Issuance Limitation”), in which case, the Issuance Limitation under this Section 7(c) shall no longer apply to such Holder. The Company shall have no obligation to obtain (or attempt to obtain) such requisite shareholder approval.

        (b)        Rights Prior to Conversion. No allowance or adjustment, except pursuant to Section 10, shall be made in respect of dividends payable to holders of the Common Stock of record as of any date prior to the close of business on any applicable Conversion Date.

For purposes of this Section 16(a), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder (without giving effect to Section 7(b)).

EXHIBIT C
MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION
REGISTRATION RIGHTS, TERMS AND OBLIGATIONS

A. Demand Registration

        1.        Definition of Investors. For purposes of this Exhibit C to the Subscription Agreement, “Investor” shall mean each person or entity who has purchased Series B Noncumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock from the Company.

        2.        Requests for Registration. At any time following the first year anniversary of the closing of the transaction, any Investor (or permitted transferees) may request in writing that the Company effect the registration of all or any part of the Registrable Shares (as defined below) held by that Investor (a “Registration Request”). Promptly after its receipt of any Registration Request but no later than 10 days after receipt of such Registration Request, the Company will give written notice of such request to all other Investors (and any known transferees). Within 10 days after receipt of such notice by any Investor, such Investor may request in writing that its Registrable Shares be included in such registration and the Company shall include in the Registration Request the Registrable Shares of any such Investor to be so included. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Shares that have been requested to be registered in the Registration Request; provided, that the Company will not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section unless the value of Registrable Shares included in the Registration Request is at least $5 million. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section. Any registration requested by the Investors pursuant to this Section is referred to in this Agreement as a “Demand Registration.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Registrable Shares” means all Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Shares and any equity securities issued or issuable directly or indirectly with respect to the Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Shares by way of conversion or exchange thereof or share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other reorganization. As to any particular securities constituting Registrable Shares, such securities will cease to be Registrable Shares when (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale by the holder thereof shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement, (ii) they have been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145 or other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (iii) they have been acquired by the Company or (iv) they are able to be sold by the Investor or transferee holding such securities without restriction as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act as specified in a legal opinion to such effect rendered by counsel to the Company at its sole expense and acceptable to the affected holders and the Company’s Common Stock transfer agent. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, “Registration Statement” means the prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC to effect a registration under the Securities Act.

        3.        Limitation on Demand Registrations. Investors, collectively, will be entitled to initiate no more than one (1) registration under the Securities Act in each calendar year of all or part of the Registrable Shares owned by them, and the Company will not be obligated to effect more than one Demand Registration in any calendar year. Upon filing a Registration Statement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective with the SEC at all

times until each Investor who would require such registration to effect a sale of the Registrable Shares no longer holds the Registrable Shares. No request for registration will count for the purposes of the limitations in this Section if (i) the Investor determines in good faith to withdraw the proposed registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement relating to such request due to marketing conditions or regulatory reasons relating to the Company (provided that this clause shall cease to apply if the Investor has previously withdrawn a proposed registration), (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within 210 days of the date such Registration Statement is first filed with the SEC (other than by reason of the Investor having refused to proceed or provide any required information for inclusion therein) and the Investor withdraws the Registration Request prior to such Registration Statement being declared effective, or (iii) prior to the sale of at least 85% of the Registrable Shares included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the Investor’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty days of the date of such order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to Section (A)(2) regardless of whether or not such request counts toward the limitation set forth above.

        4.        Short-Form Registrations. The Company may effect any registration using Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registration”) unless it is not then eligible to utilize such form.

        5.        Restrictions on Demand Registrations. If the filing or initial effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to a Demand Registration would require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement, (iii) would in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company or its business if made at such time, or (iv) would reasonably be expected to interfere with the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Company may upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the participants in such registration (each of whom hereby agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed to such participants) delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement; provided , that the Company shall not be permitted to do so (i) for more than 90 days for a given occurrence of such a circumstance, (ii) more than three times during any twelve-month period or (iv) for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, 180 days during any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Investor or such transferees agree to suspend, promptly upon its receipt of the notice referred to above, its use of any prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Shares. If the Company so postpones the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Investor will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Registration Request will not count for the purposes of the limitation set forth in Section (A)(3). The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such aborted registration or prospectus.

        6.        Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to Section (A)(2) shall not be deemed to have been effected unless it is declared effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462 of the Securities Act and remains effective for the period specified in Section (A)(3).

B. Piggy-Back Registrations

        1.        Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities, other than a registration pursuant to Section (A)(2) or a Special Registration (as defined below), and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Shares, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Investors and all known transferees of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than 10 days prior to the anticipated filing date) and, subject to Section (B)(3), will include in such registration all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 business days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any such person that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Shares from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Investor or any transferees have elected to include Registrable Shares in such registration. “Special Registration” means the registration of (i) equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof solely registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or successor form) or (ii) shares of equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof to be offered to directors, members of management, employees, consultants, customers, lenders or vendors of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans.     

        2.        Piggyback Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.

        3.        Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, Registrable Shares of the Investor and any transferees who have requested registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to Sections (A) or (B), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

C.     Registration Procedure. Subject to Section (A)(5) , whenever the Investor or any transferees of Registrable Shares have requested that any Registrable Shares be registered pursuant to Section (A) or (B) of this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration

        1.        Filing of Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the appropriate registration statement to effect such Registration and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period set forth in Section (A)(3).

Promptly 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 and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement, until the earlier of such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or the expiration of 180 days after such registration statement becomes effective (such period of 180 days to be extended one day for each day or portion thereof during such period that such registration statement is subject to any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or any order suspending the qualification of any Registrable Shares included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction).

        3.        Furnish Copies. Promptly furnish to each Investor, in the case of a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration in which it participates, advance copies of such Registration Statement and each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission not more than five business days following the filing thereof with the Commission, and make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of such document and in good faith consider such changes in such document prior to the filing thereof as each Investor or its counsel may reasonably request.

        4.        Notification. Immediately notify when or if any Registration Statement, amendment, supplement or prospectus has been filed and furnish to Investors that participate in such Registration, without charge to such Investors, such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 of the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request.

        5.        State Approval. Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other United States state governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable any Investor that participates in such Registration to sell the Registrable Shares covered by such Registration as intended by such registration statement.

        6.        Withdrawal of Stop Order. Use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction.

        7.        Notification of Need to Update. Immediately notify Investors that participate in such Registration, at any time during which a prospectus relating to such registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, if the Company becomes aware of any event as a result of which such prospectus, as then in effect, would include an untrue statement of material fact or would omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of such Investors promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish to such Investors, promptly following a declaration of effectiveness by the Commission, 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 Registrable Shares, such prospectus would 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 in the light of the circumstances under which they were made.

        8.        Transfer Agent. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

The holders of the securities so registered shall pay all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Shares hereunder and any other Registration Expenses required by law to be paid by a selling holder pro rata on the basis of the amount of proceeds from the sale of their shares so registered.

G. Indemnification.

        1.        Indemnification by the Company. In connection with any Registration, to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless each Investor that participates in such Registration, each such Investor’s legal counsel and independent accountants, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of securities (if so required by such underwriter as a condition to including the Registrable Shares of such Investors in such registration) and each other Person, if any, who controls any such Investor or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) or expenses, joint or several, to which such Investor, underwriter or other Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which the offering and sale of such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any registration statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or 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 in which they were made not misleading, or arise out of any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or state securities law applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration. The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof); provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises solely out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Indemnified Party specifically for use therein.

        2.        Indemnification by Investors. As a condition to including any Registrable Shares in any Registration, to the extent permitted by law, each Investor shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section (G)(1)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from any registration statement under which the offering and sale of such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if and only if and to the extent that such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company directly by such Person for use in connection with the

registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the obligation of any such Investor under this Section shall be limited to an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of Registrable Shares sold in such Registration, unless such liability arises out of or is based upon such Investor’s willful misconduct.

H.     Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section (G) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section (G) an amount or additional amount, as the case may be, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, demands or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault 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 Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the other, and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity of the parties to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 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 sentence. The amount paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 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 that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
