requested to register and include them in the sale by the underwriter
("Piggyback Registration"), at the Corporation's sole cost and expense and at no
cost or expense to Employee; provided, however, that if, in the written opinion
of the Corporation's managing underwriter, if any, for such offering, the
inclusion of a specific percentage (up to 100%) of the Registrable Securities
requested to be registered, when added to the securities being registered by the
Corporation or the selling shareholder(s), will exceed the maximum amount of the
Corporation's securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related
to their then current market value, or (ii) without otherwise materially

when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered
under the Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the Act

satisfy its obligation with respect to this paragraph 8 by including the
Registrable Securities, to the extent permissible, in a registration statement
on Form S-8 (or a successor form thereto) filed with the Commission which

Value equal to the Withholding Taxes.
