An Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter, unless (i) the Company agrees in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter and the Company and such Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that representation of them and the Company by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter). It is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions 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 any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders or Indemnified Underwriters, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Holders of the majority of the number of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, on behalf of, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the written consent of the Company, but if settled with the written consent of the Company, or if there is a final judgment with respect thereto, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter from and against any loss or Liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter affected thereby, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in which such Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter has sought indemnity hereunder, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding. (c) Each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Company Indemnified Parties") to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to any Indemnified Holder or Indemnified 13 Underwriter, but only with respect to information relating to each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter, respectively, expressly for use in the Registration Statement, Prospectus (or any amendment of supplement thereto), or any preliminary Prospectus. In case any action shall be brought against any Company Indemnified Party based on the Registration Statement, Prospectus (or any amendment of supplement), or any preliminary Prospectus and in respect of which indemnification may be sought against each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter pursuant to this Section 7(c), each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section 7(a) (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter may, but shall not be required to employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter) and the Company Indemnified Parties shall have the rights and duties given to the Indemnified Holders or Indemnified Underwriters by Section 7(b). (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to any party entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(c), then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total net discounts and commissions received by each Indemnified Holder or Indemnified Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter 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 Company on the one hand or by each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) The Company and each Indemnified Holder and Indemnified Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to 14 in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 are in addition to any liability. that any indemnifying party may otherwise have to any indemnified party. SECTION 8. RULE 144A The Company hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any of the shares of Common Stock that are Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available to the Shareholders of the shares of such Common Stock in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Common Stock from such Shareholders, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A. SECTION 9. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and (c) furnishes the Company in writing information in accordance with Section 3(g) and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as contemplated by Section 7(c). SECTION 10. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the Underwriter(s) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering in the manner specified in Section 3(c); provided, however, that such Underwriters must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS (a) Remedies. Each Holder or Transfer Restricted Securities, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, and as provided in the Purchase Agreement and granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of 15 such Holder's rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be valid only with the written consent of Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold, in each case calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(e).

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next business day, if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. 16 (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided. however, that this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of or be binding upon a successor or assign of a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities unless and to the extent such successor or assign acquired Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder; and provided further that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or any disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Securities such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.
