Subscription Agreement - 13 of 19

g.
The Subscriber will cooperate with Goldrich in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by Goldrich (which shall include completing the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C, and all information regarding the Subscriber and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering. Any delay or delays caused by the Subscriber, or by any other purchaser of securities of Goldrich having registr ation rights similar to those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not constitute a breach or default of Goldrich under this Agreement.
h.
Whenever Goldrich is required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the U.S. Securities Act, Goldrich shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible, subject to the assistance and cooperation as reasonably required of the Subscriber with respect to each Registration Statement:

furnish to the Subscriber such numbers of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, and such other documents as the Subscriber may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Subscriber;
(ii)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Subscriber shall reasonably request (subject to the limitations set forth in Section (b) above), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Subscriber to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities owned by the Subscriber;
(iii)
cause the Registrable Securities to be quoted or listed on each service on which the shares of common stock of Goldrich is then quoted or listed;
(iv)
notify the Subscriber, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the U.S. Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and Goldrich shall prepare and file a curative amendment as promptly as commercially reasonable;
(v)
as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Subscriber, (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of
Subscription Agreement - 14 of 19
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, rescission or removal of such stop order or other suspension; and
(vi)
provide a transfer agent and registrar for all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all such securities.

b.

Subscription Agreement - 15 of 19
otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) the failure of the Subscriber or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities; or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Goldrich by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Subscriber and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable in any such case for (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omissi on in any prospectus or Registration Statement which statement has been corrected, in writing, by such Subscriber and delivered to Goldrich before the sale from which such loss occurred; or (ii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to the Subscriber prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Subscriber and delivered by the Subscriber to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s), and the Subscriber, severally and not jointly, will, as incurred, reimburse Goldrich for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be liable or required to indemnify Goldrich in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Subscriber from the sale of the Registrable Securities, to which such loss, claim , damage, expense or liability (or action proceeding in respect thereof) relates.
c.

In the event of such separate counsel, such counsel shall agree to reasonably cooperate.
d.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Goldrich on the one hand and the Subscriber, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or
Subscription Agreement - 16 of 19
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 Goldrich on the one hand or the Subscriber, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Goldrich and the Subscriber agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The am ount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In any event, the Subscriber shall not be liable or required to contribute to Goldrich in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Subscriber from the sale of its Registrable Securities.
