Such Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives and agents, and each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder or any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, penalties, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, joint or several (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, out-of-pocket expenses and costs of investigation), as incurred, to which such Holder or any such indemnitees may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, penalties, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered and sold under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon 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 under which they were made, not misleading or any violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws or rules thereunder by the Company relating to any action or inaction by the Company in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, penalty, liability, claim, damage (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Holder which is furnished to the Company by such Holder specifically for use in such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(b) Indemnification by a Holder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4(a)) the Company, each member of the Board, each officer, employee and agent of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement and has not been corrected in a subsequent registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim; provided, however, that such Holder shall not be liable for any amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement to which the claims relate. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, 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, such indemnified party shall permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses or (B) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified

party without its written consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party of all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local 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, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.

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 and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnity provided for in this Section 4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to the Company or a Holder, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any loss referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In connection with any registration statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, a Holder shall not be required to contribute an amount greater than the net proceeds received by such Holder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement to which the claims relate (after taking into account the amount of damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto related to such sale of Registrable Securities).

(e) No Exclusivity. The remedies provided for in this Section 4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity or pursuant to any other agreement.

Section 5. Covenants Relating to Rule 144. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and to take such further action as a Holder may reasonably request to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act from time to time within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. The Company shall, in connection with any request by such Holder in connection with a sale, transfer or other disposition by such Holder of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 either currently or prospectively with unspecified timing, promptly cause (and in no event longer than three (3) Business Days after request) the removal of any restrictive legend or similar restriction on the Registrable Securities, and, in the case of book-entry shares, make or cause to be made appropriate notifications on the books of the Company’s transfer agent for such number of shares and registered in such names as such Holder may reasonably request and to provide a customary opinion of counsel and instruction letter required by the Company’s transfer agent.

Section 6. Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with this Agreement and/or in connection with any registration statement under this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of a Holder shall be borne by such Holder. The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses provided for in this paragraph shall apply irrespective of whether a registration statement becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended, or converted to any other form of registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.
