Upon the written request of any Holder, made within 10 days following the receipt of any such written notice (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of distribution thereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities, the Holders of which have so requested the registration thereof, to be registered under the Securities Act (with the securities which the Company at the time proposes to register) to permit the sale or other disposition by the Holders (in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered.

INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION. In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the seller of such Registrable Securities, and its directors and officers, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities, and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, in so far as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, and any document incorporated therein by reference or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Company will reimburse such seller, underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such seller, underwriter or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of such seller, underwriter or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each seller of Registrable Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, and officers and each underwriter (if any) and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, such directors and officers, underwriters or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements 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 or on behalf of such seller, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the obligations of such seller hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such seller from Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein. 4 Each party entitled to Indemnification under this Section 5 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; providing, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); 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 under this Agreement. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which 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, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party hereunder, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to herein 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 in connection with the statements, omissions, actions, or inactions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified 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 the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, any action or inaction by any such party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission, action, or inaction. 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. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or threat thereof with respect to which a claim for contribution may be made against an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for contribution in respect thereto is to be made against an Indemnifying Party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof (if the notice specified herein has not been given with respect to such action); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any obligation to provide contribution which it may have to any Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of equitable considerations referred to herein. 5 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, contribution by any seller of Registerable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registerable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. If indemnification is available hereunder, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent provided herein, without regard to the relative fault of said Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party or any other equitable consideration provided for herein. The provisions hereof shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law or contract, shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, and shall survive the transfer of securities by any such party. 6. INDEMNIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING. In the event that Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement in an underwritten offering, the Company agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary representations and warranties with respect to the business and operations of an issuer of the securities being registered and customary covenants and agreements to be performed by such issuer, including without limitation customary provisions with respect to indemnification by the Company of the underwriters of such offering. 7. INFORMATION BY HOLDER. The Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. 8. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITER. In the case of any registration effected pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to designate the managing underwriter in any underwritten offering with the consent of the Holder, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 9. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. 6 10.
