2.	Registration

2.1	Demand Registration

2.1.1

The Shareholder shall have the option and right, exercisable by delivering a written notice to the Company (each such notice, a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement registering the offering and sale of the number and type of Registrable Securities on the terms and conditions specified in the Demand Notice in accordance with the intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof specified in the Demand Notice, which may include sales on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the “Demand Registration”).

2.1.2

Following receipt of a Demand Notice, the Company shall file a Registration Statement as promptly as practicable covering all of the Registrable Securities that the Shareholder requests on such Demand Notice to be included in such Demand Registration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act and remain effective under the Securities Act for not less than twenty four (24) months following the Effective Date or such shorter period when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold (the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, however, that:

(i)

the Company shall not be required to effect the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1 unless the Registrable Securities are offered at an aggregate proposed offering price of not less than $75 million;

(ii) at any time after the Company first becomes eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3, then the Shareholder will also be entitled to demand the filing of one shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (which will not count as a Demand Registration) and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep such shelf registration statement continuously effective for so long as the Shareholder holds Registrable Securities or equity interests in the Company convertible into Registrable Securities (and if a shelf registration statement is not effective, expires or otherwise is deemed unsuitable thereafter, the Company will refile a registration statement covering resales as promptly as reasonably practicable and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective); and

(iii) the Effectiveness Period shall be extended by one (1) day for each additional day during any Suspension Period in effect following the Effective Date applicable thereto pursuant to 2.1.4.

2.1.3

Subject to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company is not obligated hereunder to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations in any twelve (12) month period, provided that if any demand by the Shareholder is cut back by more than 20% (twenty percent), such demand will not count as a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.3. Furthermore, a registration will not count as a requested registration under this Section 2.1 until the Registration Statement relating to such registration has been declared effective by the Commission.

2.1.4

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, the Company shall:

(i)

not be required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1 within 12 (twelve) calendar months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO;

(ii)

not be required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1 during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to a good faith estimate by the majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company (excluding any members of the board of directors that are employees or Affiliates of the Shareholder (other than directors that are “independent” under NYSE standards)) (the “Unaffiliated Board Members”), of the date of filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated registration; provided that the Company is actively employing its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective:

(iii)

not be required to effect a registration or file a Registration Statement for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of a Demand Notice for registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 if at the time of such request:

the Company is engaged, or has plans to engage, within thirty (30) days of the time of such Demand Notice, in an Underwritten Offering; or

the Company is currently engaged in a self-tender or exchange offer and the filing of a Registration Statement would cause a violation of the Exchange Act;

(iv)

not be required to effect a registration or file a Registration Statement for a period of up to ninety (90) days, if:

the Unaffiliated Board Members determine such registration would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws; or

the Unaffiliated Board Members determine such registration would require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or

(v)

if the Company has filed a “shelf” registration statement pursuant to a Demand Notice under this Section 2.1 and has included Registrable Securities therein (each such Registration Statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), be entitled to suspend, for no more than two occasions and for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 90 consecutive days and in the aggregate not more than 90 days in any 12-month period (except as a result of a review of any post-effective amendment by the Commission before declaring any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement effective; provided, that the Company has used its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective), the offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement by any holder of Registrable Securities if:

a “road show” is not then in progress with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities by such holder; and

either:

the Unaffiliated Board Members, in good faith, determine that:

the offer or sale of any shares of Ordinary Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with a significant transaction under negotiation by the Company, including any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, or consolidation;

ii.

after the advice of counsel, the sale of Ordinary Shares covered by the Shelf Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law; and

iii.

either: (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of the proposed transaction, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction, or (z) the proposed transaction renders the Company unable to comply with requirements of the Commission; or

the Unaffiliated Board Members, in good faith, determine that the Company is required by law, rule or regulation to supplement the Shelf Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement in order to incorporate information into the Shelf Registration Statement for the purpose of:

including in the Shelf Registration Statement any Prospectus required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; or

ii.

reflecting in the Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment) that, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Prospectus (any such period referred to in this Section 2.1.4, a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, that in the event the Company postpones, defers or suspends any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.4(iii)0 or 2 or Section 2.1.4(v), then during such Suspension Period, the Company shall not engage in any transaction involving the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of Ordinary Shares (whether for the benefit of the Company or a third Person), except transactions involving the issuance or purchase of Ordinary Shares as contemplated by Company employee benefit plans or employee or director arrangements;

(vi)

In order to suspend the use of the registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1.4(v), the Company shall promptly upon determining to seek such suspension, deliver to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Company is suspending use of such registration statement pursuant to Section 2.1.4(v), the basis therefor in reasonable detail and a good faith estimate as to the anticipated duration of such suspension.

2.1.5

The Company may include in any such Demand Registration other Ordinary Shares for sale for its own account or for the account of any other Person; provided that if the managing underwriter for the offering determines that the number of Ordinary Shares proposed to be offered in such offering would likely have an adverse effect in any material respect on the price, timing or distribution of the Ordinary Shares proposed to be included in such offering or the market for the Ordinary Shares, then the Registrable Securities to be sold by the Shareholder shall be included in such registration before any Ordinary Shares proposed to be sold for the account of the Company or any other Person.

2.1.6

Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Demand Registration on Form F-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3, in which case such Demand Registration shall be effected on another appropriate form for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Act) and if the Company becomes, and is at the time of its receipt of a Demand Notice, a WKSI, the Demand Registration for any offering and selling of Registrable Securities through a firm commitment underwriting shall be effected pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, which shall be on Form F-3 or any

equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act (if available to the Company); provided, however, that if at any time a Registration Statement on Form F-3 is effective and the Shareholder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, the Company will amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place.

2.1.7

Without limiting Section 2.4, in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.1, the Company shall:

(i)

promptly prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed:

such additional forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other documents, as may be necessary or advisable to register or qualify the securities subject to such Demand Registration, including under the securities laws of such states as the Shareholder shall reasonably request; provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Company would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of registration;

such forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration on the NYSE;

(ii)

do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or appropriate or reasonably requested by the Shareholder to enable the Shareholder to consummate a public sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof; and

(iii)

retain an internationally recognized investment banking firm to act as lead underwriter in the context of the Demand Registration in the event that the same is effected by means of an Underwritten Offering.

2.2	Piggyback Registration

2.2.1

If the Company shall at any time propose to file a Registration Statement, other than pursuant to any Demand Registration, for an offering of Ordinary Shares for cash (whether in connection with a public offering of Ordinary Shares by the Company, a public offering of Ordinary Shares by shareholders, or both, but excluding an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan, an offering relating to a transaction on Form F-4 or an offering on any registration statement form that does not permit secondary sales), the Company shall promptly notify the Shareholder of such proposal reasonably in advance of (and in any event at least five (5) Business Days before) the anticipated filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”). The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Shareholder the opportunity to include for registration in such Registration Statement the number of Registrable Securities as it may request (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests within five (5) days after delivery to the Shareholder of the Piggyback Notice (“Piggyback Request”) for inclusion therein. If the Shareholder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Shareholder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of Ordinary Shares, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.2.2

If the Registration Statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.2 is for an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall so advise the Shareholder. In such event, the right of the Shareholder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon the Shareholder participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of the Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. In the event the Shareholder proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through such Underwritten Offering, it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. If the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise the Company and the Shareholder in writing that in their reasonable opinion that the inclusion of all of the Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the subject Registration Statement (or any other Ordinary Shares proposed to be included in such offering) would likely have an adverse effect in any material respect on the price, timing or distribution of the Ordinary Shares proposed to be included in such offering or the market for the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall include in such offering only that number or amount, if any, of Ordinary Shares proposed to be included in such offering that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter or managing underwriters, will not have such effect, with such number to be allocated as follows:

(i)

first, to the Company or the Person or Persons demanding such Underwritten Offering; and

(ii)

if there remains availability for additional Ordinary Shares to be included in such registration, second, to all other holders of Ordinary Shares (including the Shareholder) who are contractually entitled to “piggyback” registration rights that are equivalent to those described in this Section 2.2 and who may be seeking to register such Ordinary Shares, pro-rata among them, based on the number of Ordinary Shares such other holders are entitled to include in such registration. If the Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such Underwritten Offering, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s) delivered on or prior to the time of pricing of such offering. Any Registrable Securities withdrawn from such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

2.2.3

Without prejudice to Section 2.2.2 above, insofar as permissible in the circumstances, the Parties agree and acknowledge that any cutbacks applied to Persons (other than the Company) participating in an offering for which a Piggyback Request is made will be allocated pro rata to the Shareholder based on the number of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by the same at the time of any such Piggyback Request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will have priority over the Shareholder in any such offering initiated by the Company.

2.2.4

The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement whether or not the Shareholder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. The registration expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

2.3	Registration Rights

2.3.1

Subject to Section 2.1.2, all registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall continue to be applicable with respect to the Shareholder for so long as may be required for the Shareholder to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by the Shareholder (without any limitation on volume, timing, recipients or intended method or methods of distribution, including through the use of an underwriter, that would not be applicable with a registration under the Securities Act).

2.3.2

Any Demand Notice or Piggyback Request shall:

(i)

specify the Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Shareholder;

(ii)

express the Shareholder’s present intent to offer such Registrable Securities for distribution;

(iii)

describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities, which may include sales on a delayed or continuous basis; and

(iv)

contain the undertaking of the Shareholder to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may reasonably be required in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the registration of such Registrable Securities.

2.3.3

The Shareholder shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.3.4

The Company will not enter into any agreement during the term of this Agreement which would allow any holder of Ordinary Shares to include Ordinary Shares in any Registration Statement filed by the Company in a manner that would violate or restrict in any material respect the rights granted to the Shareholder hereunder.

2.3.5

Any Registrable Security will cease to be an Registrable Security when:

(i)

it has been sold or otherwise transferred by the Shareholder (other than a transfer by the Shareholder to an Affiliate or in conjunction with an assignment of this Agreement permitted under Section 7); or

(ii)

it is eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act without restriction pursuant to such rule on the volume of securities that may be sold in any single transaction.

2.4	Holdback Agreement

2.4.1

Each of the Company and the Shareholder agrees, upon notice from the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Underwritten Offering of the Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4, Form S-4 or any similar or successor form or pursuant to a registration solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement), not to effect (other than pursuant to such Underwritten Offering) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters or underwriters (as applicable) during such period as reasonably requested by such managing underwriters or underwriters (as applicable, but in no event longer than the seven days before and the 90 (ninety) days after the pricing of such Underwritten Offering), provided, that such restrictions shall not apply in any circumstance to:

(i)

Registrable Securities acquired by the Shareholder in the public market subsequent to the IPO; and

(ii)

distributions-in-kind to a Shareholder’s limited or other partners, members, shareholders or other equity holders.

2.4.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)

no holdback agreements of the type contemplated by this Section 2.4 shall be required of the Shareholder unless each of the Company’s directors and officers agrees to be bound by a substantially identical holdback agreement for at least the same period of time; and

(ii)

neither the Company nor the underwriters in respect of such Underwritten Offering shall grant any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements unless such waiver or termination shall apply, on a pro rata basis, to the Registrable Securities held by the Shareholder.

3.	Registration Procedures

of the occurrence of (but not the nature or details concerning) any event or passage of time that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by the Company shall be required pursuant to this clause (v) in the event that the Company either promptly files a prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 6-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, which in either case, contains the requisite information that results in such Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading).

3.5	The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of:

(i)

any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or

(ii)

any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment, or if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Suspension Period, at the earliest practicable moment after the Suspension Period is over.

3.6

During the Effectiveness Period, the Company will furnish to the Shareholder and its underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by the Shareholder (including those incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system.

3.7

The Company will promptly deliver to the Shareholder and its underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as the Shareholder and its underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request during the Effectiveness Period. The Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by the Shareholder in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

3.8

The Company will facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for resale under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Shareholder may request in writing. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly, after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend upon sale by the Shareholder of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.

3.9

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3.43.4(v), subject to Section 2.1.4, as promptly as reasonably possible, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to the affected Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.10	The Shareholder may distribute the Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering; provided that:

(i)

the Shareholder provide written notice to the Company of their intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering;

(ii)

the managing underwriter or managing underwriters thereof shall be designated by the Shareholder in the case of a Demand Registration (provided, however, that such designated managing underwriter or managing underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) or by the Company in the case of a registration initiated by the Company;

(iii)

the Shareholder agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and sell the Shareholder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to select the managing underwriter or managing underwriters hereunder; and

(iv)

the Shareholder will complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Company hereby agrees with the Shareholder that, in connection with any Underwritten Offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using all reasonable best efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters at the Company’s expense.

3.11

In the event the Shareholder seeks to complete an Underwritten Offering, for a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration Statement and throughout the Effectiveness Period, the Company will make available upon reasonable notice at the Company’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place for inspection by the managing underwriter or managing underwriters selected in accordance with Section 3.10 such financial and other information and books and records of the Company, and cause the officers, employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not violate an attorney-client privilege in such counsel’s reasonable belief) to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

3.12

In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will take all commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities by the Shareholder, including causing appropriate officers and employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet with prospective investors in presentations, meetings and road shows.

Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance; and

(vi)

fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.	Indemnification

5.1

If requested by the Shareholder, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each underwriter, if any, engaged in connection with any registration referred to in Section 2 and provide representations, covenants, opinions and other assurances to any underwriter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such underwriter and the Company.

5.2

Further, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers and directors and any Person who controls the Shareholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which any Registrable Securities were registered, in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The Company shall notify the Shareholder promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely.

5.3

Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Persons under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Loss, such Indemnified Persons shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be claimed against any indemnifying party under this Section 5, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Persons; provided, however, that the Indemnified Persons shall have the right to retain their own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Persons to be paid by the indemnifying party if the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Persons and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Persons and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of Indemnified Persons, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by Shareholder. The Indemnified Persons shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such Losses by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Persons which relates to such Losses. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Persons under this Section 5, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Persons otherwise than under this Section 5.

6.	Facilitations of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144

To the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall take such further action as the Shareholder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Shareholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request the Shareholder in connection with the Shareholder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to the Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

7.	Miscellaneous

7.1	Remedies

In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Shareholder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

7.2	Discontinued Disposition

The Shareholder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 3.4, the Shareholder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until the Shareholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental Prospectus or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.2.

7.3	Amendments and Waivers

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Shareholder. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
