(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this section and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this section except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission.

(iv) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Subscriber, or any controlling person of a Subscriber, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Subscriber or controlling person of the Subscriber in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this section, then, and in each such case, the Company and the Subscriber will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in a manner that reflects, as near as practicable, the economic effect of the foregoing provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date but is subject to the cooperation of the Subscriber’s broker (the so-called DTC participant).
(iii) The Subscriber agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Conversion Shares as set forth in this section is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Subscriber will sell any Conversion Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
