In the event a cutback is requested by the Commission in a written comment to the Company pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in a registration statement shall, subject to contrary advice by the Underwriter, if any, be subject to a reduction in the following priority; (a) first to any securities being registered on behalf of the Company; (b) second, as to any securities which are being registered pursuant to any demand or mandatory registration rights; (c) next as to any securities which have priority with respect to registrations; and (d) then to the Registrable Securities.

The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission as expeditiously as possible such amendments, including 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 and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement, such securities have been withdrawn, or such securities may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

4.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY UPLINK. Uplink will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. On the transfer of shares to Uplink's shareholders, the indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such selling holder.
 
4.3. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if counsel of such Indemnified Party reasonably believes that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4. CONTRIBUTION.
 
4.4.1. If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of this Agreement is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party 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 such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
4.4.2. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 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 Section.
 
4.4.3. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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 also guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
5. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT
 
With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company agrees to:
 
5.1.1. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144; and
 
5.1.2. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
