(iv) use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws as any seller thereof shall reasonably request, to keep such registrations or qualifications in effect for so long as the Registration Statement remains in effect, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this subdivision (iv) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; (v) use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; (vi) notify each seller of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement promptly and confirm such advice in writing promptly after the Company has knowledge thereof: (A) when the Registration Statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective;

The Company will not file any registration statement pursuant to Section 2.1, or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference and proposed to be filed after the initial filing of the Registration Statement) to which a seller of Registrable Securities shall reasonably object, provided that the Company may file such document in a form required by law or upon the advice of its counsel. The Company represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable Securities that it has obtained all necessary waivers, consents and authorizations necessary to execute this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby other than such waivers, consents and/or authorizations specifically contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in subdivision (vii) of this Section 2.2, such Purchaser will forthwith discontinue such Purchaser's disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such Purchaser's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision (vii) of this Section 2.2 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Purchaser's possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 2.3 Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the --------------------------------------- preparation and filing of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the holders of Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. 2.4 Indemnification. --------------- (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will, and hereby does ------------------------------- agree to, indemnify and hold harmless the holder of any Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, its directors and officers, and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (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, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof and, provided further that the Company shall not be liable to any Person to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the Securities Act to the Person asserting the existence of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder. (b) Indemnification by the Sellers. Each Purchaser agrees, and any --------------------------------- other seller of Registrable Securities must agree, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in subdivision (a) of this Section 2.4) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such Purchaser or other seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. This indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Purchaser or other such seller. (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 subdivisions of this Section 2.4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided 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 subdivisions of this Section 2.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually 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 in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, 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, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investi- gation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which 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, or a covenant not to sue, in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party. (d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified --------------------- in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.4 (with appropriate modifi- cations) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act. (e) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this ------------------------- Section 2.4 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. (f) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in the preceding ------------ subdivisions of this Section 2.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein, 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 expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder on the other from the distribution of the Registrable 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 of the holder on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder on the other in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the initial sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company to the Purchasers bear to the gain, if any, realized by all selling holders participating in such offering. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the provisions contained in the first sentence of subdivision (a) of this Section 2.4, and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to contribute under this subdivision (f) exceed the amount that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under subdivisions (b) of this Section 2.4 had been available under the circumstances. The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subdivision (f) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence and subdivision (c) of this Section 2.4, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision (f), no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 3.
