(d)           Underwriting.  In the event that a Registration pursuant to this Section 4 is for a registered public offering involving a firm commitment underwriting by an investment bank, the right of any Subscriber to participate as a Selling Stockholder in the Registration pursuant to this Section 4 shall be conditioned upon such Subscriber’s participation in the underwriting arrangements as required by this Section 4(d), and the inclusion of such Subscriber Shares in the underwriting shall be limited as provided herein.  The Company and each Subscriber shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such managing underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting jointly by the Company and the Subscribers.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company and the Selling Stockholders that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of Shares that may be included in the Registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Selling Stockholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities held by such Selling Stockholders at the time of filing the registration statement.  No Registrable Shares excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Selling Stockholder to the nearest 100 shares.  If any Selling Stockholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter.  The Registrable Shares so withdrawn shall be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Shares shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days after the effective date of such Registration, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require. The Company shall remain obligated pursuant to this Section 4 to register for resale any Shares not included in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.

(e)           Information by Selling Stockholder.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4 that each Subscriber who wishes to participate as a Selling Stockholder furnish to the Company such information regarding himself, herself or itself, the Registrable Shares and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required, in the opinion of the Company based on advice of its counsel, to effect the Registration of such Registrable Shares; provided, however, that as far in advance as practical before filing a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, the Company will furnish counsel for the Selling Stockholder with copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits), and any such holder shall have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining solely to such Selling Stockholder that is contained therein and the Company will make the corrections as reasonably requested by such Selling Stockholder with respect to such information prior to filing such Registration Statement or amendment.

(f)            Registration Expenses.  All Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in complying with its obligation to Register pursuant to this Section 4 shall by borne by the Company.  All underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any, all expenses of counsel and other advisors to the Selling Stockholders, and all stock transfer taxes applicable to the Shares shall not be deemed to be Registration Expenses and shall be paid by the Selling Stockholders.

(g)           Indemnification With Respect to Registration.

(i)            In the event of any Registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Stockholder, 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, and any other Selling Stockholder or any such Selling Stockholder’s partners, directors or officers and each person, if any, who controls such Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, the “Losses”), to which the Company, such directors and officers, underwriter, other Selling Stockholder or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or “blue sky” laws or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (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 Shares were Registered under the Securities Act, any 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, and each such Selling Stockholder will reimburse the Company for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the obligations of such Selling Stockholders hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by each Selling Stockholder of Registrable Shares sold as contemplated herein.

(ii)           The Company will, to the full extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder or any such Selling Stockholder’s partners, directors or officers and each person, if any, who controls such Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, against any and all Losses to which such Selling Stockholder or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or “blue sky” laws or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (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 Shares were Registered under the Securities Act, any 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, and the Company will reimburse each Selling Stockholder and each such Selling Stockholder’s partners, directors or officers and each controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss (or action or proceeding in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with written information furnished by such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or (B) such Selling Stockholder’s failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus to the persons asserting an untrue

 

10



 

statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus.

(iii)          To the extent the any party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 4(g) (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall give notice to the indemnifying party (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; provided, 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 pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such claim or litigation is impaired as a result of such failure to give notice.  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 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, 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.  Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(iv)          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 4(g) is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may be subject in proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  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 material fact related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and the Selling Stockholder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4(g) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account

 

11



 

of the equitable considerations referred to above.  Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party or parties pursuant to this Section 4(g)(iv), notify such party or parties from whom such contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may have thereunder or otherwise pursuant to this Section 4(g)(iv).  No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)           Continuing Effect of Lock-Up.  Notwithstanding any registration of the Registrable Shares for resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to Section 4 or the availability of any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act that would otherwise permit sale of the Registrable Shares by the Subscriber, the Key Employees of PMI shall not offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, the Registrable Shares held by such Key Employees in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement until November 1, 2006 other than in accordance with such Section 4.4.
