Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) and permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Holders pursuant to the questionnaire referred to in Section 2.1.3 below and set forth in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement. The Company may include in such registration additional securities of the class of Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, including securities to be sold for the Company’s own account or the account of Persons who are not Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission within 150 days after the filing thereof (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement), and, subject to Section 2.2, to keep such Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending when all Private Placement Shares covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities, including, if necessary, by filing with the SEC a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Resale Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities or blue sky laws or any rules and regulations thereunder.
          2.1.2 Underwritten Offering; Reduction of Offering. Each Holder of the Registrable Securities shall have the right to request that an underwritten offering be effected off the Resale Shelf Registration at any time after the Lockup Termination Date, subject to Section 2.2. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of the receipt of such request to the other Holders of Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable. All Holders proposing to participate in such underwriting (each, a “Selling Holder”) shall (i) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by Selling Holders that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering, which underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities, opinions and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be obligated to effect more than two underwritten offerings hereunder in any single six-month period. If the managing underwriter(s) for an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Selling Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Selling Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell or otherwise, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Threshold”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (a) first, the Registrable Securities (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities which each Selling Holder has requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities or other securities held by each such Selling Holder (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata Adjusted”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (d) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the shares of Common Stock that other shareholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum

- 4 -


 

Threshold to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, wishes to permit such sales pursuant to this clause (d).
          A request for an underwritten offering may be withdrawn prior to the consummation thereof by Selling Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities intended to be included in such underwrtten offering, and, in such event, the request to which such withdrawal relates shall not be treated as a request for an underwritten offering which shall have been effected pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.
          2.1.3 Inclusion in Resale Shelf Registration. The Company shall give written notice to all Holders at least 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, which notice shall include a questionnaire seeking information from the Holders deemed necessary or advisable by the Company or its counsel in order to file the Resale Shelf Registration Statement. At the time the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective (or becomes effective, if the Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement), each Holder that has delivered to the Company a duly completed and executed questionnaire on or prior to the date which is ten Business Days prior to such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling shareholder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, after effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file a supplement to such Prospectus or amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement upon request of any Holder as necessary to name as selling shareholders therein any Holders that provide to the Company duly completed and executed questionnaires and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any post-effective amendment to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed for such purpose to be declared effective (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement) by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, provided that, if the post-effective amendment does not become effective within 60 days after it is filed, the Company will withdraw the post-effective amendment and the Company will not file another post-effective amendment for the purpose of adding selling shareholders until at least six months after the prior post-effective amendment is withdrawn.
          2.1.4 Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall prepare and file such additional Registration Statements as necessary every three years (or such other period of time as may be required to maintain continuously effective shelf registration statements) and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statements to be declared effective by the Commission (if they are not automatic shelf registration statements) so that a shelf registration statement remains continuously effective, subject to Section 2.2, with respect to resales of Registrable Securities as and for the periods required under Section 2.1.1, each such subsequent Registration Statement to constitute a Resale Shelf Registration Statement hereunder.
     2.2 Suspension of Use of Registration Statement.
          2.2.1 Upon prior written notice to the Holders, the Company may suspend the use of a Resale Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 on up to two occasions during any period of twelve consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 90 days in the aggregate during any such twelve month period (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (i) the Board determines in good faith that permitting sales under the Registration Statement would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities by the Company; (ii) a Piggy-Back Registration (defined below) in which Holders were able to participate was completed within the prior 90 days; or (iii) the Company is in possession of material non-public information and the Board determines in good

- 5 -


 

faith that the disclosure of such information during the period specified in such notice would not be in the best interests of the Company.
          2.2.2 If any report required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act has not been filed by the required date taking into account any permissible extension, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement shall be suspended until the date on which the Company has filed such report, but the Company shall file such report as promptly as practicable and shall notify the Holders in writing when such report is filed and therefore such suspension is no longer required.
     2.3 Piggy-Back Registration.
          2.3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. From and after the date hereof, until the termination of the Management Agreement, if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall (a) give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten Business Days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter(s), if any, of the offering, and (b) offer to the Holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five Business Days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”); provided, however, that no request for a Piggy-Back Registration may be made prior to the Lockup Termination Date. If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter(s) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such Piggy-Back Registration and (ii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities, opinions and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.
          2.3.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter(s) for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities that in their opinion the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.3, and the shares of Common

Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Threshold, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

               (b) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, (i) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata Adjusted, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold.
          2.3.3 Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
          2.3.4 Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company. If requested by the lead underwriter(s) in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2.1.2, the Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution (other than, in the case of the Company, in connection with (a) any merger, acquisition or similar transaction that involves the public offering of securities, (b) public sales or distributions solely by and for the account of the Company of securities issued pursuant to any employee benefit or similar plan, including employee stock and stock option plans or, (c) any dividend reinvestment plan) of any securities during the period commencing on the date the Company receives a request for an underwritten offering from any Holder and continuing until 60 days after the commencement of an underwritten offering (or for such shorter period as the lead underwriter(s) shall request) unless earlier terminated by the lead underwriter(s) in such underwritten offering.

The Company shall pay the following costs and expenses incurred in connection with (a) any Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, and (b) any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.11; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. fees; (vii) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such Registration; and (ix) the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any other costs or expenses in the course of the transaction contemplated hereby, including underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the underwriters, pro rata, in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.
     The Company shall have the right to exclude any Holder that does not comply with the preceding sentence from the applicable Registration.

- 10 -


 

     The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in this Section 3.3 shall apply irrespective of whether a registration becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended, is converted to another form of registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.
     3.4 Information. As a condition to being included in any Registration Statement, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing underwriters, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. If a Holder fails to provide such information after reasonably requested, the Company may omit such Holder’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
4. Indemnification and Contribution.
     4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) such Holder of Registrable Securities from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”), whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) , or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such Holder expressly for use therein.
     4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such Holder, indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company, and each of its officers, employees, affiliates, directors, and agents, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (other than such Holder) and each underwriter (if any), and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any Losses, whether joint or several, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. Each Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such Holder.
     Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Indemnified Party.

- 11 -


 

     4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any Loss or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Loss or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding and does not include any statement of admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
     4.4 Contribution.
          4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless in respect of any Loss referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying 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 such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
          4.4.2 The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.
          4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnifying Party as a result of any Loss shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred

- 12 -


 

by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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 who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
          4.4.4 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 4 are in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons hereunder, under applicable law or at equity.
5. Underwriting and Distribution.
     5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the Holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
6. Miscellaneous.
     6.1 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of each Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such Holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities held by such Holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, that no such transfer or assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company to any such assignee unless and until the Company shall have received written notice of such transfer or assignment as herein provided and a written agreement of the assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 6.1.
     6.2 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable overnight courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telex or facsimile; provided, however, that if such service or transmission is not on a Business Day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next Business Day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given on the next Business Day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable overnight courier service with an order for next-day delivery.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY HOLDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 6.2 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
     6.13 Other Registration Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from granting to any Person the right to cause the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act; provided, that the Company shall not grant any such right that conflicts with the rights of the Holders under this Agreement or otherwise limits or reduces such rights.

- 15 -


 

such offering in accordance with the terms hereof) for a period equal to the lesser of 60 days following the effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act or such shorter period as the managing underwriter(s) shall agree to; provided, that all other stockholders who own more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. Such agreement shall be in writing in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the managing underwriter. The Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the securities subject to this Section 6.15 and may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Registrable Securities (or other securities of the Company) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said period.
