Registrations Upon Request. 1.1. Requests by Stockholders. At any time, the MCM Holding Distributees (as a group), CPII and CTW shall each have the right to make requests that the Company effect up to two separate registrations under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities owned by them, respectively; provided that (i) in the case of the MCM Holding Distributees, such right to request up to two registrations will be exercisable by any MCM Holding Distributees owning singly or in the aggregate at least 25% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities then owned by all MCM Holding Distributees (the "Qualified MCM Stockholders"), and (ii) at any time when CPII or CTW owns fewer Registrable Securities than its Permitted Transferees, such right of CPII and CTW to request up to two registrations will be exercisable by those entities or individuals (whether acting individually or as a group), in each case, owning in excess of 50% of the outstanding Registrable Securities then owned by CPII and its Permitted Transferees, or by CTW and its Permitted Transferees, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 1.1 (ii), each holder of a Warrant shall be deemed the owner and holder of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise thereof. A request made by any of the Qualified MCM Stockholders, CPII or its Permitted Transferees, or CTW or its Permitted Transferees, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (in any such case, the "Requesting Party") shall not be counted for purposes of the request limitations set forth above if (a) the Requesting Party determines in its good faith judgment to withdraw the proposed registration of any Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 1.1 due to marketing or regulatory reasons, (b) the registration statement relating to any such request is not declared effective within 90 days of the date such registration statement is first filed with the Commission and the Requesting Party determines to withdraw the proposed registration, (c) within 180 days after the registration relating to any such request has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the Requesting Party's reasonable satisfaction within 30 days, (d) more 10% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Party to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 1.4, (e) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to any such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a default or breach thereunder by the Requesting Party), or (f) the registration relating to such request is preempted by a proposed Company registration, notice of which is given by the Company to the Requesting Party pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(iii), and the Requesting Party determines to withdraw its registration request prior to a registration statement relating thereto becoming effective. Upon any such registration request, the Company will promptly, but in any event within 10 days, give written notice of such request to all holders of Registrable Securities and thereupon the Company will, subject to Sections 1.4 and 1.5, use its best efforts to effect the prompt registration under the Securities Act of: (i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Party, and (ii) all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by the holders thereof by written request given to the Company by such holders within 10 days after the giving of such written notice by the Company to such holders, all to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition of each seller of such Registrable Securities. 1.2. Registration Statement Form. A registration requested pursuant to Section 1.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on a form reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Party, it being understood that the Company shall, where permitted under the Securities Act, seek to qualify for registration on Form S-3 (or any other comparable form hereinafter adopted). 1.3. Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration requested under Section 1.1; provided that (a) each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all Registration Expenses to the extent required to be paid by such seller under applicable law and all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, and (b) if, pursuant to clause (a) of Section 1.1, a Requesting Party determines in its good faith judgment to withdraw the proposed registration of any Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 1.1 due to marketing reasons after the filing of a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, the Requesting Party shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of such registration statement unless the Requesting Party agrees in writing to have the withdrawn registration treated as one of its two registration requests permitted pursuant to Section 1.1. 1.4. Priority in Demand Registrations. If a registration pursuant to Section 1.1 involves an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering which is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Person requesting registration of Registrable Securities) that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested and otherwise proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the offering price or the market price of the Common Stock or would otherwise jeopardize the offering, the Company will include in such registration to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without such material adverse effect, first, the Registrable Securities of all Stockholders (including the Requesting Party), on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such Stockholder), second the securities, if any, being sold by the Company, and third, the securities, if any, of any other securities holder of the Company ..entitled to incidental registration rights with respect thereto, subject to the limitations of Section 7. 1.5. No Company or Other Stockholder Initiated Registration; Deferral of Registration. (a) After receipt of notice of a requested registration pursuant to Section 1.1, neither the Company nor any other Stockholder shall initiate, without the consent of the Requesting Party, a registration of any Company securities for its own account until 90 days after such registration has been effected or such registration has been terminated. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to delay the filing or effectiveness, but not the preparation, of a registration statement for any requested registration pursuant to Section 1.1 during one or more periods aggregating not more than 90 days in any 12-month period during the term of this Agreement in the event that (i) the Company would, in accordance with the written advice of its counsel, be required to disclose in the prospectus contained in such registration statement information not otherwise required by law to be publicly disclosed and (ii) the Company has pending or in process a material transaction, the disclosure of which would, in the good "faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, materially and adversely affect the Company or the transaction, or (iii) at the time of receipt of notice of a requested registration pursuant to Section 1.1 the Company was in the process of contemplating a registration of equity securities for its own account and (A) the Company gives written notice thereof to the Requesting Party within 10 days after receipt of such registration request and (B) a registration statement with respect to such Company initiated offering is filed within 60 days of receipt of such notice from the Requesting Party. 2. Incidental Registrations. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act for its own account (other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form) it shall give written notice thereof to each Stockholder. If within 10 days after the receipt of any such notice, any Stockholder requests that the company include all or any portion of the Registrable Securities owned by such Stockholder in such registration (for purposes of this Section 2, each holder of a Warrant shall be deemed the owner and holder of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise thereof), then, subject to subsection (a) below, the Company will give prompt written notice to all Stockholders. Upon the written request of any Stockholder made within 10 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such requesting Stockholder) in accordance with such intended method or methods of disposition, provided that: (a) without the prior written consent of the Stockholders holding at least 50% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not include any Registrable Securities of holders of Registrable Securities other than the Stockholders in such proposed registration if it believes in good faith that inclusion of such securities would not be in the best interests of the Company, provided that the Company will include in such registration that number of Registrable Securities of the holders of Registrable Securities that such managing underwriter and the Company determine would not be adverse to the best interests of the Company and provided further that the Company shall give the holders of Registrable Securities prompt notice after any such determination has been made (in lieu of the notice otherwise required under the second sentence of this Section 2); (b) if, at any time after giving written notice (pursuant to this Section 2) of its intention to register equity securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall not be obligated to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but shall nevertheless pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Stockholders to request that a registration be effected under Section 1.1; and (c) if in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, the managing underwriter of such registration (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration thereof) that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested and otherwise proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the offering price or the market price of the Common Stock or would otherwise jeopardize the offering, then in the case of any registration pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will include in such registration to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without such material adverse effect, first the securities, if any, being sold by the Company, second, the Registrable Securities of the Stockholders, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such Stockholder), third, the Registrable Securities of any other holder, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and fourth the securities, if any, of any other securities holder of the Company entitled to incidental registration rights with respect thereto, subject to the limitations of Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Registrable Securities other than the Stockholders will not be entitled to participate in any registration pursuant to this Section 2 to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banker) determine in good faith and in writing (with a copy to each affected Person requesting registration of Registrable Securities) that the participation of any such holder would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold by the Company or any Stockholder in such registration. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 2, provided that each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all Registration Expenses to the extent required to be paid by such seller under applicable law and all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any. No registration effected under this Section 2 shall relieve the Company from its obligation to effect registrations under Sections 1.1. 3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 1.1 and 2, the Company will promptly: (a) prepare, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within 60 days thereafter, file with the Commission, a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the NASD and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable; (b) prepare and promptly file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for so long as is required to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and to complete the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, but in no event for a period of more than six months after such registration statement becomes effective; (c) furnish copies of all documents proposed to be filed with the Commission in connection with such registration to (i) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 1.1 or 2 in which CPII or CTW is participating, counsel selected by CPII or CTW, or, at any time when CPII or CTW owns fewer Registrable Securities than its Permitted Transferees, counsel selected by those entities or individuals (whether acting individually or as a group), in each case, owning in excess of 50% of the outstanding Registrable Securities then owned by CPII and its Permitted Transferees, or by CTW and its Permitted Transferees, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 3(c)(i), each holder of a Warrant shall be deemed the owner and holder of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise thereof), and (ii) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 1.1 or 2 in which MCM Holding Distributees are participating, counsel selected by the holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such MCM Holding Distributees in connection with such registration (such holders, the "Majority Holders"), and such documents shall be subject to the review of such counsel and CPII, CTW, or their Permitted Transferees or the Majority Holders, as the case may be, and the Company shall not file any registration statement or amendment or post-effective amendment or supplement to such registration statement or the prospectus used in connection therewith to which either such counsel or CPII, or CTW, or their Permitted Transferees or the Majority Holders, as the case may be, shall have reasonably objected in writing on the grounds that such amendment or supplement does not comply (explaining why) in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder. (d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities, without charge, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents filed therewith) and such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; (e) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject, or take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject; (f) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; (g) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities a signed counterpart, addressed to the sellers, of (i) an opinion of outside counsel for the Company experienced in securities law matters, dated the effective date of the registration statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), and (ii) a "comfort" letter (unless the registration is pursuant to Section 2 and such a letter is not otherwise being furnished to the Company), dated the effective date of such registration statement (and if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent public accountants who have issued an audit report on the Company's financial statements included in the registration statement, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, subject to such qualifications as are customary in opinions and accountants' letters delivered in such circumstances; (h) notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event or existence of any fact as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and, as promptly as is practicable, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities such prospectus shall not include 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 in light of the circumstances then existing; (i) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of the Company (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of such registration statement; (j) notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement (i) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (iv) of the suspension of the qualification of such securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution of any proceedings for any of such purposes; (k) use every reasonable effort to obtain the lifting of any stop order that might be issued suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement as soon as practicable; (l) use its reasonable best efforts (i) (A) to list such Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which the equity securities of the Company are then listed or, if no such equity securities are then listed, on an exchange selected by the Company, if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (a) if such listing is not practicable, to secure designation of such securities as a NASDAQ "national market system security" within the meaning of Rule IIAa2-l under the Exchange Act or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such Registrable Securities, and, without limiting the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with the NASD, and (ii) to provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement and to instruct such transfer agent (A) to release any stop transfer order with respect to the certificates with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold and (B) to furnish certificates without restrictive legends representing ownership of the shares being sold, in such denominations requested by the sellers of the Registrable Securities or the lead underwriter; (m) enter into such agreements and take such other actions as the sellers of Registrable Securities or the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, preparing for, and participating in, such number of "road shows" and all such other customary selling efforts as the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate such disposition; (n) furnish to any holder of such Registrable Securities such information and assistance as such holder may reasonably request in connection with any "due diligence" effort which such seller deems appropriate; and (o) use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. As a condition to its registration of Registrable Securities of any prospective seller, the Company may require such seller of any Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such seller, its ownership of Registrable Securities and the disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required by law in connection therewith, together with such certificates, if any, as may be required to permit the delivery of the opinions and comfort letters contemplated by Section 3(g) and the execution of the underwriting agreement and the delivery of the documents required to be delivered thereunder. Each such holder agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such holder not materially misleading. The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, which refers to any seller of any Registrable Securities covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such seller as the holder of any Registrable Securities, without the consent of such seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such disclosure is required by law. By acquisition of Registrable Securities, each holder of such Registrable Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(h), such holder will promptly discontinue such holder's disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(h). If so directed by the Company, each holder of Registrable Securities will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, in such holder's possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event that the Company shall give any such notice, the period mentioned in Section 3(b) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(h). 4. Underwritten Offerings. 4.1. Underwriting Agreement. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested under Section 1.1 or 2, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the underwriters and to a majority of the Stockholders participating in such registration. Any such underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in agreements of this type, including, without limitation and unless waived by all Stockholders participating in such registration, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 9. The holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriter shall be parties to such underwriting agreement and may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters be made to and for the benefit of such holders of Registrable Securities and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall also be conditions precedent to the obligations of such holders of Registrable Securities. No underwriting agreement (or other agreement in connection with such offering) shall require any Stockholder, in its capacity as stockholder or controlling Person, to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder, the ownership of such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended method or methods of disposition and any other representation required by law or to finish any indemnity to any Person which is broader than the indemnity furnished by such holder pursuant to Section 9.2. 4.2. Selection of Underwriters. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale for its own account pursuant to an underwritten offering in which holders of Registrable Securities are participants, the Company will have the right to select the managing underwriter (which shall be of nationally recognized standing) to administer the offering; provided, the Company must obtain the prior approval of its selection of a managing underwriter, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, from any Stockholder who, individually or acting with a group, owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of common stock proposed to be registered in the registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, whenever a registration requested pursuant to Section 1.1 is for an underwritten offering, the Requesting Party will have the right to select the managing underwriter (which shall be of nationally recognized standing) to administer the offering, but only with the approval of the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 5. Holdback Agreements.(a) If and whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act for its own account (other than on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form) or is required to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 1.1 or 2, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities not to request registration under Section 1.1 of any Registrable Securities and, if it is then an officer, director or the beneficial owner (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 5% of any class of the Company's equity securities (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities), not to effect any public sale or distribution of the Company's equity securities (other than pursuant to such registration), within seven days prior to and 90 days (unless advised in writing by the managing underwriter that a longer period, not to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration, except its part of such registration. (b) The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities within seven days prior to and 90 days (unless advised in writing by the managing underwriter that a longer period, not to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) after the effective date of any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.1 (except as part of such registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form). In addition, upon the request of the managing underwriter, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each officer, director or beneficial owner (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 5% of any class of the Company's equity securities (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities), other than any such securities acquired in a public offering, to agree not to effect any such public sale or distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such registration if permitted, and to cause each such officer, director and beneficial holder to enter into a similar agreement to such effect with the Company. 6. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation.

No Grant of Future Registration Rights.

[Reserved) 9. Indemnification. 9 1 Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (a) each seller of such Registrable Securities, (b) the directors, members, stockholders, officers partners, employees, agents and Affiliates of such seller, (c) each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, and (d) each person, if any who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing, against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or other liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), jointly or severally, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein or used in connection with the offering of securities covered thereby or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, proceeding or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such seller expressly for use in the preparation thereof, or (B) any preliminary prospectus to the extent that any such loss claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding results solely from the fact that the seller sold Registrable Securities to a person as to whom the Company shall establish that there was not sent by commercially reasonable means, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final prospectus in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantity to the seller or the underwriters for such offering and the loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding results from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus that was corrected in the final prospectus. The Company will reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with enforcing its rights hereunder or under the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such offering or investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such seller. If the Company is entitled to, and does, assume the defense of the related action or proceedings provided herein, then the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall also indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees, and each person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to indemnification of the seller of Registrable Securities. 9.2. Indemnification by the Sellers. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.1 or 2 that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each of the prospective sellers of such Registrable Securities to indemnify and hold harmless, severally, not jointly, in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 9.1, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, but only with respect to any written information furnished to the Company by such seller expressly for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. (The Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities hereby acknowledge and agree that unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (a) transactions between such holder and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, (b) the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by such holder and its Affiliates and (c) the name and address of such holder. If any additional information about such holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) is required by law to be disclosed in any such document, then such holder shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2.) Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such seller. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The indemnity provided by each seller of Registrable Securities under this Section 9.2 shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement giving rise to such liability. 9.3. Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action or proceeding, provided 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 paragraphs of this Section 9, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof 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 notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof except for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by such indemnified party to monitor such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such indemnified party reasonably determines, based upon advice of independent counsel, that either a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such action and that it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel or that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, such indemnified party may retain other counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, to represent such indemnified party, and the indemnifying party shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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 claim or litigation. The rights accorded to any indemnified party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that such indemnified party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise. 9.4. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration (other than under the Securities Act) or other qualification of such Registrable Securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority. 9.5. Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification required to be made by an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made by periodic payments to the indemnified party during the course of the action or proceeding, as and when bills are received by such indemnifying party, with respect to an idemnifiable loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred by such indemnified party. 9.6. Other Remedies. If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions, proceedings or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to and faults of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the offering of Registrable Securities and the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, proceeding or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statements or omissions. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1 l(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. No party shall be liable for contribution under this Section 9.6 except to the extent as such party would have been liable to indemnify under this Section 9 if such indemnification were enforceable under applicable law. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9.6 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 the immediately preceding paragraph. 10.
