of Directors of the Company, it would (A) be seriously detrimental to the
business of the Company for such registration to be effected or remain effective
at such time, (B) interfere with any proposed or pending material corporate
transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (C) result in
any premature disclosure thereof. In such a case, the Company shall not disclose
to the Investor any facts or circumstances constituting material non-public
information, without the prior written consent of Investor. The duration of the

Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of
its Registrable Securities or Additional Registrable Securities, as applicable,
from the Registration Statement.
(c) In the event the Investors determine to engage the
services of an underwriter, the Investors agree to enter into and perform their
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,

5. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY COMPANY. The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law each
Investor, its officers, directors, partners and employees and each person who
controls the Investor (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees) and expenses caused by (i) any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus
or any preliminary prospectus 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,
except insofar as the same are based upon any information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Investor, expressly for use therein, or (ii) any
violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company in connection with any Registration Statement,
Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, and shall reimburse in accordance with subparagraph (c) below, each of
the foregoing persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending any such claims. The foregoing is
subject to the condition that, insofar as the foregoing indemnities relate to
any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission
made in any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus that is eliminated or remedied
in any Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, the above indemnity
obligations of the Company shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified
party if a copy of such corrected Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto
had been made available to such indemnified party and was not sent or given by
such indemnified party at or prior to the time such action was required of such
indemnified party by the 1933 Act and if delivery of such Prospectus or
amendment or supplement thereto would have eliminated (or been a sufficient
defense to) any liability of such indemnified party with respect to such
statement or omission. Indemnity under this Section 5(a) shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
indemnified party and shall survive the permitted transfer of the Registrable
Securities and Additional Registrable Securities.
7
(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDER OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. In
connection with any registration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each
Investor severally will furnish to the Company in writing such information as
the Company reasonably requests concerning the holders of Registrable Securities
and Additional Registrable Securities or the proposed manner of distribution for
use in connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus and severally
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any
omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement
or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only
to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information furnished in writing by such holder of Registrable Securities or
Additional Registrable Securities to the Company specifically for inclusion in
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto and
that such information was substantially relied upon by the Company in
preparation of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a holder of Registrable
Securities or Additional Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such holder and the
amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue statement or omission) received by such holder upon the sale of
the Registrable Securities or Additional Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any person
entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; PROVIDED that any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a)
the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable
judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a
conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with
respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall
materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such
claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such
indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
8
settlement that 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 to such claim or litigation.
(d) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification
provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an
indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly
specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage
or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be
entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of
Registrable Securities or Additional Registrable Securities be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder
and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities or
Additional Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
