ARTICLE II REGISTRATIONS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

The Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities and shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein, including a distribution to, and resale by, the members, partners, stockholders or other equity holders of any Holder (a “Member Distribution”). Further, the Company shall, at the reasonable request of any Holder seeking to effect a Member Distribution, file any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action reasonably necessary to include such language, if such language was not included in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, or revise such language if deemed reasonably necessary by any such Holder to effect any such Member Distribution. As soon as practicable following the effective date of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, but in any event within three (3) business days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Initial Shelf Registration Statement. When deemed effective, the Initial Shelf Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain a Misstatement.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. The Company shall maintain a Shelf for the benefit of the Holders in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. If any Shelf ceases

to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), including, if necessary, amending such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or filing an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. As soon as practicable following the effective date of any Subsequent Shelf Registration, but in any event within three (3) business days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Subsequent Shelf Registration. When deemed effective, a Subsequent Shelf Registration (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain a Misstatement.

2.2 Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

2.2.1 Underwritten Shelf Takedown Request. At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of a Shelf pursuant to Section 2.1, any Holder (each, an “Underwritten Demand Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its or their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to such Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, in each case, that the Company shall be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown only if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holder(s) making such request with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the lesser of (a) $50,000,000 or (b) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of a request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall give written notice of the Underwritten Shelf Takedown to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.2, the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) business days after sending such notice to Holders. The Company and such Holders shall enter into an underwriting

agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by such parties with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Holders requesting such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (which managing Underwriter or Underwriters shall be subject to approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any Underwritten Shelf Takedown contemplated by this subsection 2.2.1, subject to subsection 3.4 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Holder may demand more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in the aggregate during any 12-month period, provided that this clause (i) shall not preclude the ability of any Holder to exercise their rights pursuant to section 2.4 hereof; (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than seven (7) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns (the “Total Takedown Allocation”) in the aggregate, in each case, pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to any then-effective Shelf that is then available for such offering. The Holders agree that each of the NGP Holder and Management Holders (such Management Holders, on a collective basis) shall be entitled to at least one (1) Underwritten Shelf Takedown request from the Total Takedown Allocation and the Pearl Holder shall be entitled to at least two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedown requests from the Total Takedown Allocation.

2.2.2 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise the Company and the applicable Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that any such Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Class A Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which an Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in such Underwritten 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 such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows:

(a) first, the Registrable Securities of the Underwritten Demand Holders (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each such Underwritten Demand Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Underwritten Demand Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering), that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of any other Holder (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each other Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Underwritten Demand Holders and such other Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a) and clause (b), the Class A Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(d) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), clause (b) and clause (c), the Class A Common Stock or other equity securities of other Persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.3 Withdrawal. An Underwritten Demand Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.2 for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of its intention to so withdraw at any time prior to prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that upon withdrawal of an amount of Registrable Securities that results in the remaining amount of Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown being less than the Minimum Takedown Threshold, the Company may cease all efforts to complete the Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.3.

2.4 Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

2.4.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file an Underwritten Offering Filing for an Underwritten Offering of its own account or for the account of any other stockholders of the Company who have been granted registration rights (a “Piggyback Underwritten Offering”) then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities (other than any Holder of Registrable Securities who has previously requested in writing that the Company not provide it with notices of Piggyback Underwritten Offerings) as soon as practicable but not less than five (5) business days before the anticipated filing date of Underwritten Offering Filing, which notice shall (A) 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 or Underwriters in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall then have four (4) business days after the date on which such Holder received notice pursuant to this subsection 2.4.1 to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and such other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities). If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within such period,

such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through a Piggyback Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.4.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.4.1 to be included in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, including via a Member Distribution. The Company shall, at the reasonable request of any Holder seeking to effect a Member Distribution, file any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action reasonably necessary to include such language, if such language was not included in such registration statement, or revise such language if deemed reasonably necessary by any such Holder to effect any such Member Distribution.

2.4.2 Reduction of Piggyback Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering in writing that the dollar amount or number of the Class A Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which participation in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which participation has been requested pursuant to subsection 2.4.1 and (iii) the Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which participation has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(b) If the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Piggyback Underwritten Offering: (i) first, the Class A Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting Persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, (A) the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to include their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.4.1 and (B) the Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which participation has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities or shares of Class A Common Stock that each Holder or other stockholder of the Company has requested be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Class A Common Stock that the Holders and other stockholders of the Company have requested be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering); and (iii) third, the Class A Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.4.3 Piggyback Underwritten Offering Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Holder’s intention to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Underwritten Offering prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw an Underwritten Offering Filing filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Underwritten Offering at any time prior to the pricing of such Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or one counsel on behalf of such sellers;

3.1.9 promptly notify the Holders in writing at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, the broker, placement agents, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 if an Underwritten Offering is expected to yield gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s equity securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (any such period, a “Suspension Period”).

3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of (including in connection with any Underwritten Offering) a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, then the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of (including in connection with any Underwritten Offering), such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than ninety (90) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose (any such period, a “Blackout Period”). In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

3.4.3 The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, in no event shall any Blackout Periods and any Suspension Periods continue for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate during any 365-day period.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings (the delivery of which will be satisfied by the Company’s filing of such reports on the Commission’s EDGAR system). The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Class A Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions.

ARTICLE IV INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of

each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and

indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 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 this subsection 4.1.5. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
