The representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such Underwriter in such written agreement with such Underwriter will also be made to and for the benefit of each Participating Holder. In the event an Underwritten Offering is not consummated because any condition to the obligations under any related written agreement with such Underwriter is not met or waived in connection with an Underwritten Offering, and such failure to be met or waived is not attributable to the fault of a Participating Holder, such Underwritten Offering will not be deemed exercised.

3.3 Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration or Underwritten Offering. The Participating Holder(s) will bear and pay any underwriting and placement discounts and commissions, agency and placement fees and brokers’ commissions applicable to securities offered for its account and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or Transfer of such securities.

3.5 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company of the beginning of a Suspension Period, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the applicable 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 he,

she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed or that the Suspension Period has ended. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section [3.5].

Upon the request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE 4

INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, directors, members, officers and employees, and any Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing Persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, such Holder or any such Person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein, or arises out of or is 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with, information concerning the Holder, its partners, directors, members, officers or controlling Persons furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Holder to the Company expressly for use in, the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or was necessary to make such information not misleading. Notwithstanding the forgoing, with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damages, liabilities or expenses purchased the Registrable Securities to the extent that it shall be established that (i) any such loss, claim, damages, liabilities or expenses of such Person arises primarily from the fact that the Holder sold Registrable Securities to such a Person, (ii) there was not sent or given a copy of the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale or Transfer and (iii) the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) would have corrected any such untrue statement or omission of a material fact.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement, each Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests, including information relating to such Holder for use in connection with any such Registration

Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, and each Holder agrees to severally, but not jointly (and not jointly and severally), indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and employees and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Holders, but only in connection with information relating to the relevant Holder, as the case may be, furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. The liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

4.1.3 If any claim, action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a Person (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or a Holder (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail to the extent known, of the Proceeding promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Proceeding, and shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice or such documents shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses); and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 4.1. In case any such Proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, in its sole discretion, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, (x) the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith (such cooperation to include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder), subject to applicable Law and ethical requirements, and (y) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof; provided, if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment (1) there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another Indemnified Party or (2) a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may exist with respect to such Proceeding (the “Indemnification Exceptions”), then the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party may select and retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Proceeding prior to the time that it receives a notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such Proceeding, it is understood that, except in the case of the Indemnification Exceptions, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to one separate firm of local attorneys in each such jurisdiction) at any time for such Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such Proceeding, subject to applicable ethical and legal requirements. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of a Proceeding that an Indemnified Party may effect without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party,

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of any settlement to which it consented or any judgment issued in accordance with the terms of such settlement or judgment.

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 Affiliate 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 (pursuant to Section 4.1.5) 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 hereof 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 to the extent permitted by law 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 a court of law 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, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 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 Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, 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 Section 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 Section 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 Section 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the proof of actual damages) to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and that no party nor any of their respective Representatives shall oppose the granting of such relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

5.13 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be deemed to be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforced in accordance with its terms to the maximum extent permitted by Law, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

5.14 No Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all representations, warranties, covenants, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement are several, and not joint, to each Holder, and no Holder will be liable for any breach, default, liability or other obligation of the other Holder party to this Agreement.
