(b) Each Investor shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any changes known to such Investor in the information set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any prospectus supplement or Identifying Report regarding such Investor or its plan of distribution. No Investor shall use, distribute or otherwise disseminate any free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, in connection with the sale of Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

(c) Upon receipt of any Suspension Notice (as defined below), each Investor shall immediately discontinue disposition of the Registerable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such shares until the Investor receives copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 1.3(c) or until the Investor is advised in writing by the Purchaser that the Suspension (as defined below) is no longer in effect, and, if so directed by the Purchaser, deliver to the Purchaser all copies of the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement or Identifying Report covering such Registerable Shares in such Investor’s possession at the time of receipt of such notice.

1.3. Amendments to Registration Statement; Suspension; Sales of Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement.

(a) Except in the event that Section 1.3(b) or 1.3(c) applies, the Purchaser shall: (i) if required under applicable law, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement or amendment to the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required report or document so that neither such Registration Statement nor prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will contain an untrue statement (as defined below) of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Investors with copies of any documents filed pursuant to this Section 1.3(a); and (iii) inform the Investors that the Purchaser has complied with its obligations in this Section 1.3(a) (or that, if the Purchaser has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet become or been declared effective, the Purchaser will notify the Investors to that effect, will use all reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as practicable and will promptly notify the Investors pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) when the amendment has become effective).

(b) The Purchaser shall not be obligated to effect a registration pursuant to Section 1.1, or to file any amendment to the Registration Statement (or any report incorporated therein) or any or supplement or amendment to the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement, and may suspend the Investors’ rights to make sales pursuant to an effective registration pursuant to Section 1.1, at any time when the Purchaser, in the good faith judgment of its Board of Directors, reasonably believes that the filing thereof, or the offering of securities pursuant thereto, would: (i) materially and adversely affect a pending or proposed acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction, or negotiations, discussions or pending proposals related thereto; or (ii) be seriously detrimental to the Purchaser and its stockholders, in which event (under clause (i) or (ii) above) the Purchaser shall have the right to defer filing of a registration statement and prospectus or prospectus supplement or Identifying Report (or to suspend the Investors’ rights to make sales pursuant to an effective registration pursuant to Section 1.1) for a period of not more than 30 days; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not utilize the right described in this Section 1.3(b) on more than two occasions of not more than sixty days in any twelve month period.

(c) In the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Purchaser of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of Purchaser’s counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, prospectus or any prospectus supplement, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that neither the Registration Statement nor the Prospectus or, if applicable, prospectus supplement will contain any untrue statement (as defined below) of a material fact or omit to state 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; or (v) of any event or circumstance of the type described in Section 1.3(b), then the Purchaser shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to the Investors (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, each Investor will refrain from selling any Registrable Shares

pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such Investor’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Purchaser, or until it is advised in writing by the Purchaser that the Suspension is no longer in effect.

(d) Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, each Investor may sell the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement as long as, to the extent required by law, it arranges for delivery of a current prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement or report, to the transferee of such Registrable Shares.

(e) In the event of a sale of any Registrable Shares by an Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, such Investor shall deliver to the Purchaser’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Purchaser, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B so that the Registrable Shares may be properly transferred. Assuming timely delivery to the Purchaser’s transfer agent of one or more stock certificates representing the Registrable Shares in proper form for transfer and assuming compliance by the Investor with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser’s transfer agent will issue and make appropriate delivery of one or more stock certificates in the name of the buyer so as to permit timely compliance by the Investor with applicable settlement requirements.

1.4. Assignment of Registration Rights. Any rights referred to in Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by an Investor to an affiliate of such Investor, provided that: (a) the Purchaser is, within a reasonable time prior to such assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and (b) such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.5. Indemnification.

(a) For the purpose of this Section 1.5: (i) the term “Selling Stockholder” shall include each Investor and each Person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, including any officer, director, employee, trustee or affiliate of such Investor; (ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement; and (iii) the term “untrue statement” shall include any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement 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.

(b) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to which such Selling Stockholders may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement; (ii) any failure by the Purchaser to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement; or (iii) any violation by the Purchaser of any law, rule or regulation, and the Purchaser shall reimburse such Selling Stockholders for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Purchaser by or on behalf of any Selling Stockholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of the Selling

Stockholder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting the sale of the Registrable Shares.

(c) Each Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Purchaser who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Purchaser) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to which the Purchaser (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon: (i) any failure by such Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting the sale of the Registrable Shares; or (ii) any untrue statement if such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Investor shall reimburse the Purchaser (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement is contained in any written information furnished to the Purchaser by or on behalf of any Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that such Investor’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of the Registrable Shares.

(d) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 1.5, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying person will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified person under this Section 1.5 (except to the extent that such failure affects the indemnifying person’s ability to defend such action or proceeding) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 1.5. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action or proceeding shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified person, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof (but only for so long as such indemnifying person is pursuing such defense in a reasonable manner), such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified persons. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action or proceeding unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement

includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim, action or proceeding.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person under Sections 1.5(b) or 1.5(c) in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Purchaser on the one hand and the Investor, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Purchaser on the one hand or an Investor or other Selling Stockholder on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Purchaser and each Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.5(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor and other Selling Stockholders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 1.5(e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.5(e), no Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of the Registrable Shares to which such loss, claim, damage or liability relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. 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.

2. Rule 144. The Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC hereunder, all from time to time to enable each Investor to sell the Registrable Shares owned by it without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Rule 144, as such Rule may be amended from time to time (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC).
