For purposes of the preceding sentence, two or more Registration Statements filed in response to one demand shall be counted as one Registration Statement. If at the time of any request to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3(a), the Company is engaged in a registered public offering or the Company determines in good faith certifies in writing that any such registration would require the Company to include disclosure that would reasonably be expected to have a materially detrimental effect on any proposal, negotiations or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction or any other material corporate event contemplated by the Company, then the Company may at its option direct that such request be delayed for a reasonable period not in excess of three (3) months, such right to delay a request to be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders shall state the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.

Each such request by such Holders shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. The failure of any Holder to respond within such 20-day period referred to in clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Holder's rights under this Section 3 with respect to such Demand Registration, provided that any Holder may waive its rights under this Section 3 prior to the expiration of such 20-day period by giving written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Initiating Holders.

If the Company or the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all of the Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Demand Registration to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f). In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 3 involving an underwritten offering, none of the Registrable Securities held by any Holder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be included in such underwritten offering unless such Holder accepts the terms of the offering as agreed upon by the Company, the Initiating Holders and the Approved Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the Approved Underwriter, have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering by the Initiating Holders. If the Approved Underwriter advises the Company that the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration only the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without any such internal adverse effect and shall reduce the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration by removing Registrable Securities owned, first by the Company, second by the entities listed on Schedule II hereto, Mount Sinai and GECC, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Person and third by all other Holders, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (within ten (10) days of the notice provided for in the preceding sentence) to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of a -6- proposed underwritten offering (the "Company Underwriter") to permit each of the Holders who have requested in writing to participate in the Incidental Registration to include its or his Registrable Securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company or the account of such other stockholder, as the case may be, included therein. In connection with any Incidental Registration under this Section 4(a) involving an underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company, such other stockholders, if any, and the Company Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as the Company Underwriter believes will not have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering. If the Company Underwriter determines that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the Holders have requested to be included would have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then the Company shall be required to include in such Incidental Registration, to the extent of the amount that the Company Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect, first, all of the securities to be offered for the account of the Company or the account of any other stockholder at the request of which the Company intends to file a Registration Statement, as the case may be; second, the Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the Holders, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; and third, any other securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering.

If at the time of any request to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5(a), the Company is engaged in a registered -7- public offering or if the Company shall in good faith certify in writing that any such registration would require the Company to include disclosure that would reasonably be expected to have a materially detrimental effect on any proposal, negotiations or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction or any other material corporate events, contemplated by the Company, then the Company may at its option direct that such request be delayed for a reasonable period not in excess of three (3) months, such right to delay a request to be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

The Company shall also provide customary indemnities to any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities. (b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating pursuant to Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, each such Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading or necessary to cause such Registration Statement not to omit a material fact with respect to such Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure). If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and either of such parties has been advised by its counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In any such case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all similarly situated Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent Shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such -14- action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided that the total amount to be contributed by any Holder shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) 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. 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. 9. Rule 144. The Company covenants that from and after the earliest of (a) the IPO Effectiveness Date, (b) the registration by the Company of a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and (c) the issuance by the Company of an offering circular pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act it shall (i) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (ii) take such further action as each Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request (including providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time or (B) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. The Company shall, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 10. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights; No Inconsistent Agreements.
