(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, employees, representatives and agents, each of its directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the "Company Indemnified Parties" and each a "Company Indemnified Party") and the Selling Shareholder against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company Indemnified Parties or the Selling Shareholder may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties and the Selling Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such parties in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, that, the parties hereto hereby agree that such written information provided by the Underwriters consists solely of the Underwriters' Information. This indemnity agreement is not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability that the Underwriters might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available at law or in equity to the Company Indemnified Parties and Selling Shareholder. (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume 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 the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any reasonable 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 any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it 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 action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by SG Cowen, if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Underwriter Indemnified Party, or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Sections 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c), shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. Subject to the provisions of Section 7(e) below, no indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. (e) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by this Section 7 effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement (other than reimbursement for fees and expenses that the indemnifying party is contesting in good faith). (f) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a), 7(b) or 7(c), then each 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 loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Stock or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Stock purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Stock purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault 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 Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission; provided, that, the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of the Underwriters for use in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus consists solely of the Underwriters' Information. The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(f) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(f) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(f), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(f), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Stock underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public less the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before deducting other expenses payable by the Selling Shareholder) received by the Selling Shareholder from the sale of shares of Stock hereunder. 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. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(f) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. 8. TERMINATION. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by SG Cowen, in its absolute discretion, by notice given to and received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 6(l), 6(n) or 6(o) have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement. 9. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. If (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8 or Section 10, (b) the Company or the Selling Shareholder shall fail to tender the Stock for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason not permitted under this Agreement or (c) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand, the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to SG Cowen. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, neither the Company nor the Selling Shareholder shall be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses. 10. SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase shares of Stock hereunder and the aggregate number of shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares underwritten, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of shares with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares underwritten and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such shares by other persons are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate. If the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the shares of Stock of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters as provided in this Section 10, (i) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Dates for a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order that the Company and the Selling Shareholder may effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees promptly to file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the respective numbers of shares to be purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the Company, the Selling Shareholder or the other Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Selling Shareholder or the Company, except expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Sections 5 and 9 and except the provisions of Section 7 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. 11. SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the several Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the persons mentioned in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the indemnities of the Company and the Selling Shareholder contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties, and the indemnities of the several Underwriters shall also be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties.

(the "Company"), with respect to the public offering (the "Public Offering") of shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock"), the undersigned hereby agrees that for a period of 180 days following the date printed on the front cover page of the final prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of SG Cowen, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (such shares, the "Beneficially Owned Shares")) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lock-up restrictions described in this Agreement shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock, any Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock transferred pursuant to: (a) bona fide gifts not involving a disposition for value; (b) distributions of shares of Common Stock to partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned; (c) dispositions to any trust, family limited partnership or family limited liability company for the direct or indirect benefit of, or controlled by, the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned not involving a disposition for value; (d) will or intestacy to the undersigned's immediate family; or (e) the prior written consent of SG Cowen, on behalf of the several underwriters; provided, that, in each case, any transferee, distributee or donee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition to the preceding paragraph, the lock-up restrictions described in this Agreement shall not apply to open-market non-derivative sales in the public market pursuant to brokers' transactions of any shares of Common Stock acquired by the undersigned after the date of the final prospectus or shares purchased in connection with the Public Offering; provided, that, any shares acquired pursuant to a directed share program shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions, if any, imposed by such program; and, provided, further, if the seller is a Reporting Person, as defined in and subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), any sales made in accordance with this paragraph shall not require such person to, and such person shall not voluntarily, file a report of such transaction under the Exchange Act, and if for some reason a proposed sale under this paragraph would require the undersigned to file a report of such transaction under the Exchange Act, then the undersigned shall not make such sale. In addition, the undersigned hereby waives, from the date hereof until the expiration of the 180-day period following the date of the Company's final prospectus, any and all rights, to request or demand registration pursuant to the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock that are registered in the name of the undersigned or that are Beneficially Owned Shares.
