the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf, or (vi) any breach of this Agreement by the Company and will reimburse the Investor Indemnified Parties for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon information furnished by such Investor in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus. The Company shall notify the Investors promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2. Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, 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 Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or which arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or free writing 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 or alleged statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or free writing prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, and will reimburse the Company and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders or controlling Persons for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. In no event shall the liability of any Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct.

6.3. 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 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, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, considering the advice of 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 proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of

9

more than one additional firm of attorneys at any time for all such 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.

6.4. Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability 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 Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of any Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Person other than the Parties hereto shall have any right hereunder or be entitled to the benefit of any provision hereof.

7.4. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by an Investor to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is an Affiliate, partner, member, limited partner, retired partner, retired member, or stockholder of an Investor; or (ii) after such transfer, with its Affiliates, holds at least seven percent (7%) of the total number of Registrable Securities purchased by such Investor pursuant to the Series B Purchase Agreement (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and other recapitalizations); provided that (a) prior to such transfer, the Company is furnished with written notice stating the name and address of such transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred, and (b) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the Parties. For purposes of this Section 7.4, the transfer of Series B Shares shall be deemed to be the transfer of Registrable Securities, and, upon transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the term “Investor” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such transferee.

Except with respect to statutory requirements, and subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section, any party hereto may by written instrument extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party hereto and may waive (i) any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of any of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) compliance with any of the covenants, undertakings or agreements by any of the other parties, or satisfaction of any of the conditions to the waiving party’s obligations, contained in this Agreement or (iii) the performance (including performance to the satisfaction of a party or its counsel) by any of the other parties of any of the obligations of such other party set forth herein. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power

or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy of such party. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, an amendment of this Agreement or the waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only upon the written consent of (i) the Company, on the one hand, and (ii) Investors, on the other hand, who hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, on an as-converted basis; provided, however, that if a proposed amendment, waiver or modification would adversely affect an Investor differently or in a manner that would have a disproportionate adverse effect on such Investor as compared to the effect on the other Investors, then such amendment, waiver or modification must also be approved by such Investor.

The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of or be considered in connection with the interpretation or application of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.

7.7. Severability. In case any provision contained in this Agreement should be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, in such jurisdiction and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

7.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which executed counterparts, and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof, shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
