any registration under Section 2.1 pursuant to an underwritten offering, or in
the case of a registration under Sections 2.2 or 2.3 if the Company has
determined to enter into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith, all
securities to be included in such registration shall be subject to an
underwriting agreement and no Person may participate in such registration
unless such Person agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis
provided therein and completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires and
other documents (including custody agreements and powers of attorney) which
must be executed in connection therewith, and provides such other information
to the Company or the underwriter as may be necessary to register such Person's
securities.

any Common Stock, or any other equity security of the Company or any security
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the
Company (other than as part of such underwritten public offering) during the
time period reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, not to exceed 180
days (and the Company hereby also agrees) except that the Company may effect

Form S4 (if reasonably acceptable to such managing underwriter) or Form S-8, or
any successor or similar form which is then in effect or upon conversion,
exchange or exercise of any then outstanding Common Stock Equivalent) to use
its reasonable best efforts to cause each Holder of any equity of security or
any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity
security of the Company purchased from the Company at any time other than in a
public offering so to agree). Each managing underwriter shall be entitled to
rely on the agreements of each Holder of Registrable Securities set forth in
this Section 2.7(a) and shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of
this Section 2.7(a).

S-8 or any successor or similar form which is then in effect or upon the
conversion, exchange or exercise of any then outstanding Common Stock
Equivalent), until a period of 180 days shall have elapsed from the effective
date of such previous registration; and the Company shall so provide in any
registration rights agreements hereafter entered into with respect to any of
its securities.

(a) In the event of any registration of any securities of
the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article 2. the Company
will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its directors,

directors, officers, affiliates, employees, stockholders, members and partners
thereof), each other Person who participates as an underwriter or a Qualified
Independent Underwriter, if any, in the offering or sale of such securities,
each officer, director, employee, stockholder, member or partner of such

any, who controls such seller of any such underwriting within the meaning of
the Securities Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in
respect thereof (the "Claims") and expenses (including reasonable fees of
counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Company's
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to which
each such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claims or expenses arise out of or are based upon
("d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such securities were
registered under the Securities Act, together with the documents incorporated
by reference therein, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, together with the documents
incorporated by reference therein, or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable to any such indemnified party in any such case to the extent such Claim
or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact made in such registration statement or amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or in any such prospectus or any preliminary, final or
summary prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such indemnified party specifically
for use therein. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in
full force and effect
13
14
regardless of any investigation made by as on behalf of such indemnified party
and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.
(b) Each Holder of Registrable Securities that are
included in the securities as to which any registration under Section 2.1, 2.2
or 2.3 is being effected (and, if the Company requires as a condition to
including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in
accordance with Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3, any underwriter and Qualified
Independent Underwriter, if any) shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify
and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in
paragraph (a) of this Section 2.9) to the extent permitted by law the Company,
its officers and directors, each Person controlling the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act and all other prospective sellers and their
directors, officers, general and limited partners and respective controlling
Persons with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact in, or omission or alleged omission of any material fact from,
such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or
alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and

representatives by or on behalf of such Holder or underwriter or Qualified
Independent Underwriter, if any, specifically for use therein and reimburse
such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that the aggregate amount which any such Holder
shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) and Sections 2.9(c)
and (e) shall in no case be greater than the amount of the net proceeds
received by such person upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to
the registration statement giving rise to such Claim. Such indemnity and
reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall
survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.
(c) Indemnification similar to that specified in the
preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.9 (with appropriate
modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable
Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of
securities under any state securities and "blue sky" laws.
(d) Any person entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for
indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.9, but the failure of
any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying
party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.9,
except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby
and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article 2. In case any
action or proceedings is brought against an indemnified party and it shall
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, unless in the reasonable
opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such
claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified,
14
15
to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party
fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or
proceeding within 20 days after receiving notice from such indemnified party
that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; or (ii) if such
indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also
brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that
them may be one or mom legal defenses available to such indemnified party which
am not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both
parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable
standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified
party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth
above (but with no mom than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in
each jurisdiction who shall be approved by the Major Holder of the registration
in respect of which such indemnification is sought), and the indemnifying party
shall be liable for any expenses therefore No indemnifying party shall, without
the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is
an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) 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.
(e) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is
unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Sections 2.9(a), (b) or (c), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Claim
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other
hand, with respect to such offering of securities. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party
or the indemnified party and the parties" relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding
sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also
the relative benefits of the indemnifying poly and the indemnified party as
well as any other relative equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
Section 2.9(e) were to be 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 preceding sentences of this Section 2.9(e).
The amount paid or payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1.1(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
15
16
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9(e) to the contrary, no
indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this
Section 2.9(e) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received
by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the
offering to which the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified
parties relate, less the amount of any indemnification payment made by such
indemnifying party pursuant to Sections 2.9(b) and (c).
(f) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any
indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or
omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and. shall survive the
transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.
(g) The indemnification and contribution required by this
Section 2.9 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

will take all reasonable steps necessary to effect a subdivision of shares if

enhance the marketability of the Registrable Securities. Each Holder agrees to
vote all of its shares of capital stock in a manner, and to take all other
