Cutbacks In the event that (x) the Company proposes or is required (other than pursuant to a Takedown Request or Demand Request) to Register Common Stock in connection with an Underwritten Offering, (y) Sponsor Stockholder has made a Piggy-Back Request in accordance with Section 6.05 with respect to such offering and (z) a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company to act as managing underwriter thereof reasonably and in good faith shall have advised the Company, Sponsor Stockholder or any other holder of Common Stock intending to offer Common Stock in the offering, as applicable (each, an “Other Holder”), in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion in the Registration Statement of some or all the shares of Common Stock sought to be Registered by the Company, Sponsor Stockholder or the Other Holder(s) would adversely affect the price or success of the offering, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company is reasonably advised can be sold in such offering without such an effect (the “Maximum Number”) as follows and in the following order of priority:
(a) if such Registration is by the Company for its own account, (i) first, such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company proposes to Register for its own account, (ii) second, to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the Registration pursuant to clause (i) is less than the Maximum Number, such number of Piggy-Back Securities as Sponsor Stockholder proposes to be included pursuant to a Piggy-Back Request, and (iii) third, to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the Registration pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) is less than the Maximum Number, such number of shares of Common Stock as all Other Holders request to be included for their own account (with such number of shares allocated pro rata among the Other Holders in proportion to their respective beneficial ownership of such shares); or
(b) if such Registration is pursuant to the Demand Registration rights of one or more Other Holders, (i) first, such number of shares of Common Stock as such Other Holder(s) and Sponsor Stockholder propose to be included (with such number of shares allocated pro rata among the Other Holder(s) and Sponsor Stockholder in proportion to their respective beneficial ownership of such shares) and (ii) second, to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the Registration pursuant to clause (i) of this subparagraph (b) is less than the Maximum Number, such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company requests to be included.
Rule 415; Cutback If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any Investor to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate before the SEC its reasonable position that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.” The Investors shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2(e), including participation in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto, which counsel shall be designated by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(e), the SEC does not alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor. Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(e) shall be allocated among the Investors on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of such Investor as such Investor shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors otherwise agree. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein and the liquidated damages provisions relating thereto) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Deadline and/or the Qualification Deadline, as applicable, for such Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 90th day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date (or the 120th day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement).

Piggy-Back Registration Rights (a) If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders (other than a registration of securities relating solely to employee benefit plans or to effect a merger or other reorganization), the Company will promptly give to Shareholder written notice thereof and, upon the written request of Shareholder, include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Shares specified in the written request made within 10 business days after receipt of such written notice from the Company.
(b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise Shareholder as a part of the written notice given to Shareholder. In such event the right of any Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conditioned upon Shareholder's participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of Shares in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. Shareholder (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may exclude some or all of the Shares or securities of other holders of similar registration rights from such registration. The Company shall so advise Shareholder and other stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting, and the number of Shares or securities of other holders of similar registration rights that may be included in the registration and underwriting, as determined by the managing underwriter, shall be allocated on a pro rata basis. If Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Section.
(c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Shareholder has elected to include securities in such registration.
(d) All expenses associated with the registration (including, without limitation, registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company) shall be borne by the Company. Selling expenses, including underwriters' discounts, shall be borne by Shareholder pro rata in proportion to the number of securities being registered.
(e) In the case of each registration under this Section, the Company will:
(i) prepare and file a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least 45 days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been completed, whichever first occurs;
(ii) furnish to Shareholder such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as Shareholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of the Shares; and
(iii) use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by Shareholder, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions in which it has not already done so and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(f) The Company will indemnify Shareholder against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or based on 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 any violation by the Company of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse Shareholder for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by Shareholder.
(g) Shareholder will, if Shares held by such Shareholder are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any 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, such Shareholders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by Shareholder and stated to be specifically for use therein.
(h) Shareholder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding Shareholder, the Shares held by Shareholder, and the distribution proposed by Shareholder as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement.
(i) The registration rights granted to Shareholder in this Section shall expire at such time (if ever) as Shareholder is free to sell the Shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor thereto) without limitation as to volume or manner of sale restrictions.
Piggy Back Registration (a) If the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, authorize a registration of its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company shall furnish the Holder with at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and the Holder shall have the option to include the Shares to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant in such registration statement. The Holder shall exercise the "piggy-back registration rights" granted pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days of the receipt of the written notice from the Company described above.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company's obligations under this Section 7 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) The obligations of the Company set forth under this Section 7 shall not arise upon the filing of a registration statement that covers any of the following: (A) securities proposed to be issued in exchange for assets or securities of another corporation; (B) debt securities not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock; (C) securities to be issued pursuant to a transaction registered on Form S-4 (or any registration form promulgated by the SEC in substitution of that form); or (D) a stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase, or other employee benefit or compensation plan or securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan.
(ii) If the Company files a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter of the proposed offering to grant any request by the Holder that Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant be included in the proposed public offering on terms and conditions that are customary under industry practice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter of the public offering of the Common Stock gives written notice to the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, marketing factors require a limitation of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, then the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement shall be reduced in accordance with the limitations imposed by the managing underwriter.
(iii) The Holder must provide to the Company all information, and take all action, the Parent reasonably requests with reasonable advance notice, to enable it to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to prepare the registration statement that will cover the Shares that will be included in the registration.
(c) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with the registration of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 7, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, cost of engraving of stock certificates, costs for mailing and tombstone advertising, cost of preparing the registration statement, related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, underwriting documents, selected dealer agreements, preliminary and final prospectuses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, but excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions attributable to the Shares and the fees and expenses of the Holder's own counsel and accountants, which shall be borne by the Holder.
