(iii) keep the applicable Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it (A) is available for resales by the Holders of Registrable Securities entitled to the benefit of this Agreement and (B) conforms with the requirements of this Agreement and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder as announced from time to time for a period (the “Effectiveness Period”) that commences on the date of filing of the WKSI Prospectus Supplement or on the date the New Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, as the case may be, and that will terminate upon the earliest of the following two dates: (x) the expiration of the holding period applicable to the Registrable Securities held by a non-affiliate of the Company under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto or (y) when all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

(b) No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be included as a selling securityholder of any Registrable Securities in a Shelf Registration Statement or a Prospectus pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing such information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus, and in any application to be filed with or under state securities laws (the form of which request is attached to the Offering Memorandum as Exhibit A and is referred to herein as the “Holder Questionnaire”) prior to any intended distribution of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities who elects to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Prospectus, agrees by submitting a Holder Questionnaire to the Company that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Holder Questionnaire and this Agreement. In order to be named as a selling securityholder of Registration Securities in a New Shelf Registration Statement at the time it is declared effective, a Holder must complete and deliver the Holder Questionnaire to the Company within 30 days after the Company publicly announces the filing of a New Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4(b)(xiv) hereof.

effective amendment to the New Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable law, file a Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other document required by the Commission so that the Holder delivering such Holder Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in both, as required by applicable law, in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use its best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable, (ii) provide such Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2(b), if requested, and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2(b); provided that, if such Holder Questionnaire is delivered during a Suspension Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Holder Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2(b) upon expiration of the Suspension Period in accordance with Section 4(b)(i) hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that fails to complete and deliver in a timely manner a Holder Questionnaire as a selling securityholder in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus.

3. Liquidated Damages.

(a) If:

(i) neither a WKSI Prospectus Supplement or a New Shelf Registration Statement is filed with the Commission prior to or on the Initial Filing Deadline;

(ii) in the event a New Shelf Registration Statement is filed, such New Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission prior to or on the Effectiveness Target Date;

(iii) except as provided in Section 4(b)(i) hereof, at any time after a WKSI Prospectus Supplement is filed or, if a New Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective, at any time after the Effectiveness Target Date, and in each case prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, the applicable Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within ten Business Days by filing a new prospectus supplement, a new Shelf Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such failure and, in the case of a post-effective amendment, is itself immediately declared effective; or

(iv) (A) prior to or on the 45th day of any Suspension Period, such suspension has not been terminated or (B) Suspension Periods exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360-day period or an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period,

(each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay as liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) with respect to any Debentures that are Registrable Securities from and including the day following the Registration Default to but excluding the day on which the Registration Default has been cured, accruing at a rate:

(A) with respect to the first 90-day period during which a Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.25% per annum of the original principal amount of the Debentures, and

(B) with respect to the period commencing on the 91st day following the day the Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.50% per annum of the original principal amount of the Debentures;

provided that in no event shall Liquidated Damages accrue at a rate per year exceeding 0.50% of the original principal amount of the Debentures. Following conversion of any Debentures Liquidated Damages cease to accrue and no Liquidated Damages will accrue with respect to the Underlying Common Stock.

(b) All accrued Liquidated Damages shall be paid in arrears to Record Holders of any Registrable Security by the Company on each Damages Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check; provided that any Liquidated Damages accrued with respect to any Registrable Security called for redemption on a redemption date prior to the Damages Payment Date shall be paid instead to the Holder who submitted such Registrable Security on the applicable redemption date. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Registrable Security, the accrual of Liquidated Damages with respect to such Registrable Security will cease.

All obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3 that are outstanding with respect to any Registrable Security at the time such security ceases to be a Registrable Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Registrable Security shall have been satisfied in full.

The Liquidated Damages set forth above shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to the Holders of Registrable Securities for such Registration Default and each Holder of a Registrable Security shall be entitled to receive Liquidated Damages if such Holder has complied with the requirements of Section 2(b) hereof.

4. Registration Procedures.

(a) (i) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall comply with all the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof and shall use its best efforts to make such filing or effect such registration, as the case may be, to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto, shall as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a WKSI Prospectus Supplement or a New Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, as the case may be.

(ii) Before filing any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto with the Commission, the Company shall furnish to the Initial Purchaser copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and use its best efforts to reflect in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments as the Initial Purchaser reasonably shall propose within five Business Days of the delivery of such copies to the Initial Purchaser.

(b) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall:

(i) Subject to any notice by the Company in accordance with this Section 4(b)(i) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind described in Section 4(b)(iii)(E) hereof, use its best efforts to keep the applicable Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus to (A) contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not be effective and usable for resale of Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the methods of distribution described therein, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use its best efforts to cause any such amendment to be declared effective and any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus to become usable for their intended purposes as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period (each such period, a “Suspension Period”) if:

(x) an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, 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 not misleading; and

(y) the Company reasonably determines that the disclosure of such event at such time would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on a previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction;

provided, however, that Suspension Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360-day period.

(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; cause the related

Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act applicable to them, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430B under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; provided that in no event will such method(s) of distribution take the form of an Underwritten Offering without the prior agreement of the Company, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld.

(iii) Advise the underwriter(s), if any, the Initial Purchaser, and each selling Holder promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing:

(A) when any Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, and, with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective;

(B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

(C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes;

(D) of any determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement would be appropriate; or

(E) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event, during the Effectiveness Period, that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time and will provide to the Initial Purchasers and each Holder who is named in a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus pursuant to this Agreement prompt notice of the withdrawal of any such order.

(iv) Make available at reasonable times during normal business hours for inspection by one or more representatives of the selling Holders, designated in writing by a Majority of Holders whose Registrable Securities are included a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus pursuant to this Agreement, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, and any Broker-Dealer, attorney or accountant retained by such selling Holders or any of the underwriter(s), if any, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, trustees, managers and employees to supply, at the Company’s expense, all information reasonably requested by any such representative or representatives of the selling Holders, underwriter, Broker-Dealer, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement before its effectiveness or before the filing of a prospectus supplement, as applicable; provided, however, that, if the Company so requests, such person shall first agree in writing with the Company that any information that is reasonably and in good faith designated by the Company in writing as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such persons and shall be used solely for the purposes of exercising rights under this Agreement, unless (1) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (2) disclosure of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, or the use of any Prospectus referred to in this Agreement), (3) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any such person or (4) such information becomes available to any such person from a source other than the Company and such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or is not otherwise under a duty of trust to the Company.

(v) If requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation: (1) information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Registrable Securities, (2) information with respect to the principal amount or number of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), (3) the purchase price being paid therefor and (4) any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-

At such time as such public disclosure is otherwise made or the Company determines that such disclosure is not necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or to include any omitted material fact, the Company agrees promptly to notify each Holder of such determination and to furnish each Holder such number of copies of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, as the case may be, as such Holder may reasonably request.

(c) Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Registrable Security that, upon receipt of any notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 4(b)(iii)(E) hereof, such Holder will, and will use its best efforts to cause any underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Offering to, forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until:

(i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(b)(xvii) hereof; or

(ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.

If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such Suspension Notice.

(d) Upon the initial sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, each selling Holder shall deliver a notice of such sale to the Company certifying that (i) the Prospectus delivery requirements, if any, of the Securities Act have been complied with and (ii) such selling Holder and the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder are identified in the related Prospectus in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Act.

If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers that will manage such offering will be selected by the Majority of Holders of such Registrable Securities included in such offering and shall be acceptable to the Company. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

5. Holder’s Obligations. Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Securities, that no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a Holder Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof (including the information required to be included in such Holder Questionnaire).

6. Registration Expenses.

(a) The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2 and 4 of this Agreement, whether or not any Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective or any Prospectus is filed. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of the counsel specified in the next sentence in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement may designate), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company), (iii) duplication expenses relating to copies of any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus delivered to any Holders hereunder, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and (v) reasonable fees and disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel and of the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock. In addition, the Company shall bear or reimburse the Holders that have delivered a Holder Questionnaire for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of legal counsel for the Holders incurred in reviewing and commenting upon the Shelf Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness, which shall, upon the written consent of the Initial Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), be a nationally recognized law firm experienced in securities law matters designated by the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay the internal expenses of the Company (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which the same securities of the Company are then listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

(b) In connection with each Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus required by this Agreement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, and any other documents delivered to any Holders, the Company shall reimburse the Initial Purchaser and the Holders of Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, which shall be Shearman & Sterling LLP, or such other counsel as may be chosen by a Majority of Holders for whose benefit the Shelf Registration Statement is being prepared.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, each Holder, and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser or such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in any Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), as the case may be, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchaser and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Initial Purchaser, or any other selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or

omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in a Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in such Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel (other than local counsel); provided, however, that the counsel appointed by the indemnifying party shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in any action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party or such appointment was not within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding 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 any indemnified party.

(d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section

7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Holders or the Initial Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Holders and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by it were offered exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each Person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser or a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchaser or such Holder, and each director of the Company, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

8. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, within a reasonable period of time, upon written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of its securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell such Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Registrable Securities identified to the Company by the Initial Purchaser upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable 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, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.
