    R’ is (i) a part of the Share in respect of which the Purchaser exercised the Call Option, expressed as a fraction where the Share owned by the Seller on the date of the Exercise Notice shall be used in the denominator (defined as the percentage of the entire share capital of the Company on the date of the Exercise Notice) and the numerator is the part of the Share in respect of which the Purchaser exercised the Call Option (defined as the percentage of the entire share capital of the Company on the date of the Exercise Notice); or (ii) ‘1’ in case the Purchaser exercised the Call Option in respect of the entire Share;

7


 

    I1’ is the total initial cash contribution made by the Seller for the Share at the IA Completion as envisaged by the Investment Agreement, net of taxes paid by the Company on the investment (the “Initial Investment Amount”).

    Ix’ is the amount of each subsequent cash contribution made by the Seller for additional share capital of the Company prior to the fifth anniversary of the IA Completion pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, net of taxes paid by the Company on the investment (the “Subsequent Investment Amount”);

    /’ is the mathematical symbol of division.
 
    For the avoidance of doubt the ‘(Ix+(Ix*IRRx)*(Nx/365))’ part of the formula shall apply in respect of each subsequent cash contribution made by the Seller. For illustration purposes, the calculation of the Call Option Price is set forth in Schedule 6 hereto.
4.2   The Call Option Price shall be satisfied by the Purchaser solely in cash in US Dollars.

5.   PUT OPTION PRICE
 
5.1   Put Option Price
    The Put Option Price shall be calculated in US Dollars in accordance with the following formula:

8


 

    P = R* ((I1+(I1*0.04)*(N1/365)) + (Ix+(Ix*0.04)*(Nx/365)) – D), where
 
    R’ is (i) a part of the Share in respect of which the Seller exercised the Put Option, expressed as a fraction where the Share owned by the Seller on the date of the Exercise Notice shall be used in the denominator (defined as the percentage of the entire share capital of the Company on the date of the Exercise Notice) and the numerator is the part of the Share in respect of which the Seller exercised the Put Option (defined as the percentage of the entire share capital of the Company on the date of the Exercise Notice); or (ii) ‘1’ in case the Seller exercised the Put Option in respect of the entire Share;
 
    P’ is the Put Option Price;
 
    I1’ is the Initial Investment Amount;
 
    Ix’ is the Subsequent Investment Amount;
 
    N1’ is the number of days lapsed from the date of the crediting of the Initial Investment Amount in full to the Company’s bank account (inclusive) until the date of debiting of the Put Option Price from the Purchaser’s bank account (inclusive). In case of satisfaction of the Put Option Price with IPG Stock (in full or in part) ‘N1‘ will mean the number of days lapsed from the date of the crediting of the Initial Investment Amount in full to the Company’s bank account (inclusive) until the date of the issue and placement to the Corporation of the IPG Stock pursuant to clause 5.2 below (inclusive);
 
    Nx’ is the number of days lapsed from the date of the crediting of the relevant Subsequent Investment Amount to the Company’s bank account (inclusive) until the date of debiting of the Put Option Price from the Purchaser’s bank account (inclusive).

    D’ is the sum of all (i) funds that the Seller has received from IPG in respect of the Share in connection with the partial exercise of the Call Option and/or Put Option; plus (ii) Compensation. In the event that ‘P’ is a negative number as a result of the deduction of any ‘D’ amounts, the Put Option Price shall be deemed equal ‘0’;
 
    *’ is the mathematical symbol of multiplication;
 
    +’ is the mathematical symbol of addition;
 
    /’ is the mathematical symbol of division.
 
    For the avoidance of doubt the ‘(Ix+(Ix*0.04)*(Nx/365))‘ part of the formula shall apply in respect of each subsequent cash contribution made by the Seller. For illustration purposes, the calculation of the Put Option Price is set forth on Schedule 6 hereto.
5.2   Satisfaction of the Put Option Price
  (a)   Always subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause 5.2 the Seller shall have the right at its sole discretion to choose that the Put Option Price be satisfied in (i) cash in US Dollars; or (ii) shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Purchaser (“IPG Stock”); or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii); provided however if IPG Stock shall no longer be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and listed on a recognized national securities exchange in the United States (the Nasdaq Stock Market, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange and any successors to

9


 

      such an exchange) for any reason (including without limitation, because it went private, was sold or merged) and is otherwise able to make the representations contained in Section 3B of the form of Stock Purchase Agreement set forth as Schedule 4, Seller shall not have the right to exercise its rights under clauses 5.2(a)(ii) or 5.2(a)(iii) in which event the Purchaser shall pay solely cash under clause 5.2(a) in satisfaction of the Put Option Price. The Seller shall expressly indicate the preferred method for the satisfaction of the Put Option Price in the Put Exercise Notice.
  (b)   In the event that the Seller wishes that the Put Option Price (or any part thereof) shall be satisfied with IPG Stock, for the purposes of calculating the amount of IPG Stock to be transferred to the Seller, the value of such IPG Stock shall be the 30 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock of the Purchaser taken for the period of 30 calendar days lapsed from date of the Put Exercise Notice based upon reliable data provided by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Bloomberg, discounted by 5 per. cent. The Purchaser shall present to the Seller a calculation of the VWAP and the support for such calculation a reasonable time prior to the transfer and Seller shall have the right to review. If the Seller does not disagree with the VWAP calculation provided by the Purchaser within five Business Days of its delivery to the Seller, then the Purchaser’s VWAP calculation shall be considered final; if the Seller disagrees with the VWAP calculation provided by the Purchaser within five business days of its delivery to the Seller, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall work in good faith to mutually agree upon the VWAP prior to the Put Option Completion Date; provided that if the Seller and the Purchaser cannot agree upon the VWAP calculation within ten Business Days of its delivery to the Seller, then the disagreement shall be finally resolved by the chief executive officers (general directors) of the Seller and the Purchaser who shall work in good faith to agree upon the VWAP calculation. In case no agreement is reached by the chief executive officers (general directors) of the Seller and the Purchaser in relation to the VWAP calculation within ten (10) Business Days of the matter having been referred to the chief executive officers (general directors) of the Seller and the Purchaser, the Deadlock (as defined by the Investment Agreement) shall be deemed to have occurred and such Deadlock shall be resolved by the mediation set forth in the Investment Agreement. The beneficial ownership (whether direct or indirect) that the Seller may have in the share capital of the Purchaser at any time, may not exceed 9.9 per. cent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Purchaser; and the Purchaser shall not be obliged to issue shares of its common stock that would result in the Seller’s beneficial ownership (direct and indirect) exceeding 9.9 per. cent of all issued and outstanding common stock of the Purchaser to the Seller as a result of the exercise of the Put Option.
5.3   Currency conversion
    For the purposes of the calculation of the US Dollar equivalent of D, for the purposes of determining the Put Option Price, the rate of exchange to be used shall be the official RUR/USD rate set by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for the day immediately preceding the date(s) of the payment(s) of D by the Purchaser to the Seller (i.e., the day on which the relevant wire transfer was initiated).
6.   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

      be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to Holder and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.
 
  b.   Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both on any registration form (other than Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms), which permits the inclusion of Registrable Securities held by Holder, and Holder has not yet requested that the Company include any of Holder’s Restricted Securities in a Piggyback Registration (as defined herein), then each such time the Company will give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of Holder, received by the Company within twenty (20) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company but in any event no later than ten (10) days before filing a Registration Statement, to register any of Holder’s Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition by Holder of such Registrable Securities so registered. The Company shall not include any of Holder’s Registrable Securities in any such registration unless Holder shall have agreed in writing to sell such Registrable Securities on the same terms and conditions as shall apply to the securities to be included in such registration for the Company’s own account. Holder shall have the right to provide such notice for Piggyback Registration once. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to Holder and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.
 
  c.   Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with any Registration Statement, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions and fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.
 
  d.   Effectiveness.
  i.   The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable. The Company shall notify Holder by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide Holder with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.
 
  ii.   The Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 2 in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary (A) in connection with regular earnings announcements (including any standing policies with respect to such earnings announcements), (B) to delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time would be, in the good faith opinion of the Company, materially detrimental to the Company or (C) to amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or 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, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

36


 

      misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify Holder in writing of the commencement of and the reasons for an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of Holder) disclose to Holder any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, and (b) advise Holder in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay.
 
  iii.   The Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any Registration Statement during a Allowed Delay or otherwise to accommodate a holdback period referred to in Section 5.
  e.   Rule 415; Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that Holder is not an “underwriter.” In the event that the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of Holder, and provided further that, if the Company is required to take any of the actions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, it shall consult with Holder and shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holder so long as such requested actions are (A) in compliance with the requirements of the SEC, (B) do not require the Company or its affiliates to pay money or undertake or incur additional liability and (C) are reasonably likely to avoid the treatment of Holder as an underwriter.
 
  f.   Selection of Underwriters.
  i.   Demand Registration. Holder shall (i) determine whether or not the offering pursuant to the Demand Registration shall be underwritten and (ii) select the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) (in each case, subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to manage such offering in a Demand Registration.
 
  ii.   Piggyback Registration. The Company shall (i) determine whether or not an offering pursuant to the Piggyback Registration shall be underwritten and (ii) select the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) to manage such offering in a Piggyback Registration.
  3.   Company Obligations.
  a.   The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
  i.   use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise Holder in writing when the

37


 

      Effectiveness Period has expired;
 
  ii.   subject to Section 2(d)(ii), prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;
 
  iii.   provide copies to and permit counsel designated by Holder to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC;
 
  iv.   furnish to Holder and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by Holder that are covered by the related Registration Statement;
 
  v.   use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order as promptly as possible;
 
  vi.   prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with Holder and its counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions requested by Holder and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for thisSection 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
 
  vii.   use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
 
  viii.   promptly notify Holder, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus 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

38


 

      existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such Holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that 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; and
 
  ix.   otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, file any Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform Holder in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, Holder is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
  b.   With a view to making available to Holder the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Holder to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) one year after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction (including any restriction relating to the availability of current public information about the Company) by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to Holder upon request, as long as Holder owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and (B) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Holder to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain eligible to use a short form registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration for the Registrable Shares, and for the term of this Agreement and for a period of six months thereafter, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a recognized national U.S. securities exchange.
  4.   Obligations of Holder.
  a.   Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify Holder of the information the Company requires from Holder in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. The Company shall not be obligated to register the Registrable Securities of Holder unless and until Holder provides such information.
 
  b.   Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from

39


 

      such Registration Statement.
 
  c.   Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(a)(viii) hereof, Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until Holder is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.
 
  d.   Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
 
  e.   Holder covenants and agrees that it will notify the Company in writing promptly following a Transfer of Registrable Securities that results in Holder no longer holding any Registrable Securities.
  5.   Holdback.
  a.   If the Company at any time shall register Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act (including any registration pursuant to Section 2) for sale to the public pursuant to an underwritten offering in which the Holder is provided the opportunity to participate, Holder shall not sell publicly (other than with respect to those Registrable Securities included in such registration), make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose publicly of, any Registrable Securities (other than those Registrable Securities included in such registration pursuant to Section 2) without the prior written consent of the underwriter for a period designated in writing by the Company to Holder, which period shall not begin more than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such registration and shall not last more than ninety (90) days following the effective date of such registration; provided, however that any such restriction on the sale of such Registrable Securities shall not be more restrictive than agreed to by each of the officers and directors of the Company or by any other holder of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of a registration rights agreement. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be requested by the underwriters in any public offering that are consistent with the terms of this Section 5 or that are necessary to give further effect hereto.
  6.   Indemnification.
  a.   Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless Holder and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other Person, if any, who controls Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein misleading; or (ii) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; and will reimburse Holder, and each such officer, director, member, employee and agent, successors and assigns, and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the

40


 

      Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Holder or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus.
 
  b.   Indemnification by Holder. Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of Holder under this Section 6b be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6, the amount of any damages Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission and any underwriting discounts and commissions) received by Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
 
  c.   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and provided further that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any single proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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.
 
  d.   Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) or (b), as applicable, is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the

41


 

      indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
  7.   Confidentiality. If any information disclosed to Holder by Company or its affiliates is identified by the Company or its affiliates as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of Holder hereunder (which actions may include the execution of a confidentiality agreement with the Company).
  8.   Miscellaneous.
  a.   Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate with no further obligation of any party hereto as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities when such Registrable Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, at the time such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale without restriction (including any restriction relating to the availability of current public information about the Company) by holder pursuant to Rule 144. Sections 2(c), 3(b) (only to the extent stated therein) and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
  b.   Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the Company and Holder.
 
  c.   Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made as set forth in Section 6J of the Purchase Agreement.
 
  d.   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party; provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any surviving or successor entity in connection with a merger or consolidation or the Company with another entity, or a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another entity, without the prior written consent of Holder; and provided further that Holder may assign its rights hereunder, in whole or in part to any affiliate (as such term is defined under Rule 144) of Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights, remedies or obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
 
  e.   Counterparts; Faxes. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile, which shall be deemed an original.
 
  f.   Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in

42


 

      any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
 
  g.   Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.
 
  h.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement and those documents expressly referred to herein are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party to this Agreement: (i) agrees that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware; (ii) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement; (iii) waives any objection that it may have to the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court; and (iv) agrees that service of any court paper may be made in such manner as may be provided under applicable laws or court rules governing service of process.
