Such written request may include all or a portion of the Registrable Securities. 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 AMD and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.

If AMD participates in such underwriting, AMD shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b), if, in an underwritten offering, the Company, upon advice of the underwriter, advises AMD in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting may be reduced by the Company to an amount that, together with the number of shares that the Company shall determine to register in that registration and underwriting for the account of one or more other security holder or holders, shall not be less than forty percent (40%) of the securities included in such registration and underwriting, with the number of shares of Registrable Securities and shares held by other security holders included in that registration and underwriting to be allocated among the holders thereof on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested by each such holder to be included in that registration and underwriting.
               (c) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, 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, listing fees, fees and reasonable expenses of one counsel to AMD, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.
               (d) Effectiveness.

The Company shall notify AMD 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 AMD with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.
               (ii) For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company by suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated by this Section 2 containing such information, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify AMD in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of AMD, shall the Company disclose to AMD any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise AMD in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

               (h) immediately notify AMD, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, 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 existing, and at the request of AMD, promptly prepare and furnish to AMD an electronic copy of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, 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
               (i) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).
               (j) With a view to making available to AMD the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit AMD 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) the date all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) 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 AMD upon request, as long as AMD owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail AMD of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

5


 

or Section 12 of the 1933 Act, the Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by AMD and its advisors, all financial and other records, all filings made with the SEC and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by AMD or any such advisor in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling AMD and such advisors to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement.
               The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to AMD or its advisors pursuant to this Section 4 unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides AMD or its advisors with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and, if AMD wishes to obtain such information, AMD enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

     6. Indemnification.
               (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless AMD and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls AMD within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (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 final prospectus contained therein, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) 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; (iv) 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; or (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 AMD’s behalf and will reimburse AMD, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it as incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided further, 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 so made in conformity with information furnished by AMD or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus.
               (b) Indemnification by AMD. AMD 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 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from 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 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 AMD to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of AMD (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In no event

7


 

shall the liability of AMD be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by AMD in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages AMD has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission) received by AMD 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 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, 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 proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate 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.
               (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified 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 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of AMD be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

The monthly consolidated financial statements of the last month of each fiscal quarter shall be provided to AMD within fifteen (15) days following the end of such fiscal quarter.

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of AMD, enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights the terms of which would either materially and adversely impact the rights of AMD under this Agreement or require the Company to violate the provisions of this Agreement.
