2.7 Postponements.
(a) If the Company shall fail to file any registration statement to be filed pursuant to a request for registration under Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Investor(s) requesting such registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration. Any such withdrawal shall be made by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days after, in the case of a request pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, the date on which a registration statement would otherwise have been required to have been filed with the Commission under clause (i) of Section 2.4(a) hereof (i.e., 20 days after the date that is 90 days after the receipt by the Company of the written request from the Investor(s)). In the event of such withdrawal, the request for registration shall not be counted for purposes of determining the number of registrations to which Investor are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred in connection with a request for registration withdrawn pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) The Company shall not be obligated to file any registration statement, or file any amendment or supplement to any registration statement, and may suspend any Investor’s rights to make sales pursuant to any effective registration statement, at any time (but not to exceed one time in any twelve-month period) when the Company, in the good faith judgment of the Board, reasonably believes that the filing thereof at the time requested, or the offering of securities pursuant thereto, would adversely affect a pending or proposed Public Offering of the Company’s securities, a material financing, or a material acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction, or negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto. The filing of a registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, by the Company cannot be deferred, and Investor’s rights to make sales pursuant to an effective registration statement cannot be suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence, for more than ten days after the abandonment or consummation of any of the foregoing proposals or transactions or for more than 120 days after the date of the Board’s determination referenced in the preceding sentence. If the Company suspends Investor’s rights to make sales pursuant hereto, the applicable registration period shall be extended by the number of days of such suspension.
(c) If a Shelf Registration Statement has been filed, becomes effective and remains effective under Section 2.1(g), then the Company shall be entitled to postpone any demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or underwritten Public Offering requested by Investor for a period not exceeding 90 days from the date of such request if, in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s management acting in good faith, the filing of the registration statement or underwritten Public Offering and all obligations arising out of such actions are not in the best interests of the Company at that time; provided, however, if Investor disagrees with such determination, it shall notify the Company in writing of such disagreement and the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall make the determination, which shall be final and binding upon the parties. It being understood that the Company shall only be entitled to such postponement under this Section 2.7(c) once every 180 days.

2.8 Indemnification by the Company.
(a) In connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof, to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless, Investor and seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) Investor or seller or any such underwriter, and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, partners, agents and Affiliates (each, a “Company Indemnitee” for purposes of this Section 2.8(a)), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof and whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto), joint or several, and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel and reasonable costs of investigation, to which such Company Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, a “Loss” or “Losses”), insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered or otherwise offered or sold under the Securities Act or otherwise, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus related thereto, or any amendment or supplement thereto (collectively, “Offering Documents”), or 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 in which they were made not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any federal or state law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration; provided that, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Offering Documents in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in a writing duly executed by such Company Indemnitee specifically stating that it is expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of such Person’s failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference therein), as the same may be then supplemented or amended, to the Person asserting 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. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnitee and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Company Indemnitee.
- 15 -
(b) Indemnification by the Offerors and Sellers. In connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof in which Investor has registered for sale Registrable Securities, Investor or seller of Registrable Securities shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, shareholders, Affiliates and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) the Company and each other seller and such seller’s employees, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents and Affiliates (each, an “Investor Indemnitee” for purposes of this Section 2.8(b)), against all Losses insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Offering Documents (or any document incorporated by reference therein) or 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 circumstances in which they were made not misleading, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in a writing duly executed by Investor or seller of Registrable Securities specifically stating that it is expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such indemnifying party under this Section shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds (after giving effect to underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such indemnifying party in the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Investor Indemnitee, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such indemnifying party.
(c) Notices of Losses, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Loss referred to in the preceding subsections of this Section, 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, 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 subsections of this Section except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such Loss, to assume and control the defense thereof, in each case at its own expense, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after its assumption of 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 investigation, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement 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 in respect of such Loss or which requires action on the part of such indemnified party or otherwise subjects the indemnified party to any obligation or restriction to which it would not otherwise be subject.
- 16 -
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section in respect of any Loss, then, in lieu of the amount paid or payable under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall contribute to the aggregate Losses (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating the same) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the prospective sellers of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement which resulted in such Loss or action in respect thereof, with respect to the statements, omissions or action which resulted in such Loss or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and such prospective sellers, on the other hand, from their sale of Registrable Securities; provided that, for purposes of this clause (ii), the relative benefits received by the prospective sellers shall be deemed not to exceed the amount received by such sellers. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations, if any, of the selling holders of Registrable Securities to contribute as provided in this subsection (d) are several in proportion to the relative value of their respective Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and not joint. In addition, no Person shall be obligated to contribute hereunder any amounts in payment for any settlement of any action or Loss effected without such Person’s consent.
(e) Other Indemnification. The Company shall, in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.2, and Investor who has registered for sale Registrable Securities shall, 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, indemnify Investor Indemnitees and Company Indemnitees, respectively, against Losses, or, to the extent that indemnification shall be unavailable to Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, contribute to the aggregate Losses of Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee in a manner similar to that specified in the preceding subsections of this Section (with appropriate modifications).
(f) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 2.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when any Loss is incurred and is due and payable.
2.9 Registration Rights to Others. If the Company shall at any time hereafter provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act, such rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely affect any of the rights provided to the holders of Registrable Securities in, or conflict (in a manner that adversely affects holders of Registrable Securities) with any other provisions included in, this Agreement. To the extent the Company provides any right to others that are more favorable than those provided for herein, the Company shall be required to make appropriate modifications to this Agreement to ensure that Investor (for so long as Investor, together with its Affiliates, owns 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or for so long as Investor is an Affiliate of the Company by virtue of a representative of Investor serving on the Company’s Board) will have the benefit of terms that are at least as favorable as those provided to such other persons.
2.10 Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. Without the written consent of the Investor, the Company shall not effect or permit to occur any combination, subdivision or reclassification of Registrable Securities that would materially adversely affect the ability of Investor to include such Registrable Securities in any registration of its securities under the Securities Act contemplated by this Agreement or the marketability of such Registrable Securities under any such registration or other offering.
- 17 -
2.11 Rule 144 and Rule 144A. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to enable Investor to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (c) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, filing on a timely basis all reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of any Investor, the Company shall deliver to Investor a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
2.12 Nominees for Beneficial Owners. In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as Investor of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any Investor or Investor pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of the number or percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any Investor or Investor contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities.
2.13 Calculation of Percentage or Number of Shares of Registrable Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to a percentage or number of shares of Registrable Securities or Common Stock shall be calculated based upon the number of shares of Registrable Securities or Common Stock, as the case may be, outstanding at the time such calculation is made and shall exclude any Registrable Securities or Common Stock, as the case may be, owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. For the purposes of calculating any percentage or number of shares of Registrable Securities or Common Stock as contemplated by the previous sentence, the terms “Investor” shall include all Affiliates thereof owning any shares of Registrable Securities or Common Stock.
2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. The Company’s obligations under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof to register Common Stock for sale under the Securities Act with respect to any Investor shall terminate on the first date on which no shares of Registrable Securities are held by Investor.
