2.1.8 Demand Registration Withdrawal.
(a) A Holder may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement; provided that such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, a Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration as to which such withdrawal was made. In the event the initiating Demanding Holder notifies the Company that it is withdrawing all of its Registrable Securities from the Demand Registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement. Such registration nonetheless shall be deemed a Demand Registration with respect to such initiating Holder for purposes of subsection 2.1.4 unless (i) such Holder shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for its pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the withdrawn registration of such Registrable Securities (based on the number of securities such Holder sought to register, as compared to the total number of securities included in such Demand Registration) or (ii) the withdrawal is made following the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change or pursuant to the Company’s request for suspension.
(b) In the case of any Underwritten Offering in connection with any Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration, any participating Holder shall have the right to withdraw their respective Registrable Securities, in whole or in part, from such Underwritten Offering prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided that such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, a Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering as to which such withdrawal was made. If the withdrawing Holder is the Holder who initiated the Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.3, such Underwritten Offering nonetheless shall be deemed a Shelf Takedown with respect to such withdrawing Holder for purposes of subsection 2.1.3 unless (i) such Holder shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for its pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the withdrawn Underwritten Offering (based on the number of securities such Holder sought to include in the Underwritten Offering, as compared to the total number of securities included in such Underwritten Offering) or (ii) the withdrawal is made following the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change or pursuant to the Company’s request for suspension.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.8; provided, however, that Nomura shall reimburse the Company for its proportionate share of all out-of-pocket Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Underwritten Offering requested by Nomura pursuant to a Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration (it being understood that such proportionate share shall be based on the total number of Registrable Securities sold by Nomura relative to the total number of Registrable Securities sold in such Underwritten Offering).

The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration.
(b) If at any time on or after the Effective Date, the Company proposes to effect an Underwritten Offering for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (a “Company Underwritten Offering”), the Company shall notify, in writing, all Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and such Holder who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering (each such Holder, a “Company Underwritten Shelf Offering Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five days after the receipt by such Holder of the notice from the Company.

All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through any Company Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1(b) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company; provided, however that any obligation of any such Holder to indemnify any Person pursuant to any such underwriting agreement shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Securities, and such liability shall be limited to the net amount received by any such Holder from the sale of his, her or its Registrable Securities pursuant to such Underwritten Offering, and the relative liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to such net amounts.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (and one applicable local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement 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.
4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any partner, officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes and restates the Original Registration Rights Agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
