(e) The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown. If a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of the requested Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown advises the Company and Holders in writing that, in its reasonable and good faith opinion, the number of Shares proposed to be included in the Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other Shares proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of Shares which can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of Shares proposed to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Shares proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown (i) first, the Registrable Securities that the Holders propose to sell, and (ii) second, the Shares proposed to be included therein By: any other Persons (including Shares to be sold for the account of the Company and/or other holders of Shares) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree. If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective Holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold By: each such Holder in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown.Section
