4.6 Investment Representations and Warranties.

(a) Purchase for Own Account. The WEBM Shares to be received by the Stockholder hereunder will be acquired for investment for the Stockholder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and the Stockholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same without prejudice, however, to such the Stockholder’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of WEBM Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. If not an individual, the Stockholder also represents that the Stockholder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring WEBM Shares.

(b) Disclosure of Information. The Stockholder has had an opportunity to review the Purchaser SEC Documents and has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the WEBM Shares to be received by it under this Agreement. The Stockholder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Purchaser regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the WEBM Shares and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Purchaser possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Stockholder or to which the Stockholder had access.

(c) Investment Experience. The Stockholder understands that the WEBM Shares involve substantial risk. The Stockholder has experience as an investor in securities of companies like the Purchaser and acknowledges that the Stockholder is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of such Stockholder’s investment in the WEBM Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Stockholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the WEBM Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.

(d) Restricted Securities. The Stockholder understands that the WEBM Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Purchaser in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in limited circumstances. In this connection, the Stockholder represents that the Stockholder is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act on the WEBM Shares. The Stockholder understands that the Purchaser is under no obligation to register any of the WEBM Shares except as provided in Article X below.

(e) Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Stockholder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the WEBM Shares unless and until:

(i) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement and the provisions of Article X of this Agreement; or

(ii) (A) the Stockholder shall have notified the Purchaser of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Purchaser with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (B) the Stockholder shall have furnished the Purchaser, at the expense of the Stockholder or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act.

(f) Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the WEBM Shares will bear legends substantially as set forth below:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SUCH EFFECT, WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE WEBMEDIABRANDS INC. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.

The legends set forth above shall, upon the request of the Stockholder, be promptly removed by the Purchaser from any certificate evidencing WEBM Shares upon delivery to the Purchaser of an opinion of counsel to the Purchaser if required under Section 4.6(e) hereof, that the legended security can be freely transferred in a public sale without a registration statement being in effect under the Securities Act and in compliance with exemption requirements under applicable state securities laws and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Purchaser issued the WEBM Shares; provided, however, that no such opinion shall be required in connection with routine sales of WEBM Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below). In connection with any such opinion, the Stockholder shall provide such certifications as may reasonably be deemed necessary for the delivery of such opinion.

(g) Further Limitations on Disposition. The Stockholder has not and will not (i) prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, if then prohibited by law or regulation, sell, dispose of, or grant any right with respect to (collectively, a “Disposition”), its WEBM Shares, nor (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Disposition by the Stockholder of its WEBM Shares prior to such date. In addition, the Stockholder represents that as of the date of this Agreement the Stockholder does not have any existing short position in the Purchaser’s Common Stock nor has the Stockholder executed any derivative instruments with any third party, which in either case is designed to dispose of its WEBM Shares, prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by the Stockholders with respect to the Company, for a period of two years after the Effective Date, the Purchaser shall (a) retain the Business Records relating to periods prior to the Effective Date, and (b) upon reasonable notice, afford the Stockholder Representative reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Stockholders expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Purchaser’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Company.

6.2 Confidentiality.

(a) As used in this Section 6.2, the term “Confidential Information” includes any of the following information held or used by or relating to the Company or Purchaser:

(i) all information that is a Trade Secret;

(ii) all information concerning product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current, and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing or distribution methods and processes, computer hardware, Software and computer software, database technologies, systems, structures and architectures; and

(iii) all information concerning the business and affairs of the Company or Purchaser, including historical and current financial statements, financial projections and budgets, tax returns and accountants’ materials, historical, current, and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, business plans, strategic plans, marketing and advertising plans, publications, client and customer and prospect lists and files, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, Contracts, the names and backgrounds of key personnel and personnel training techniques and materials, however documented.

(b) Each Stockholder acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information and agrees that such Stockholder shall, except to the extent required for a Stockholder who is employed by the Company or Purchaser to fulfill his or her duties in the course of such employment, from and after the Closing: (i) keep the Confidential Information confidential and deliver promptly to Purchaser, or immediately destroy at Purchaser’s option, all embodiments and copies of the Confidential Information that are in such Stockholder’s possession; (ii) not use the Confidential Information for any reason or purpose; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, not disclose the Confidential Information to any Person, except with Purchaser’s prior written consent.

(c) Section 6.2(b) does not apply to that part of the Confidential Information that becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a Breach of this Section 6.2 by any Stockholder. Confidential Information shall not be deemed “generally available to the public” merely because it is included or incorporated in more general information that is publicly available or because it combines features which individually may be publicly available.

(d) If any Stockholder becomes compelled in any Proceeding to make any disclosure that is prohibited by this Section 6.2, such Stockholder shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such compulsion so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.2. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, such Stockholder may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that, based upon the opinion of such Stockholder’s counsel, such Stockholder is legally compelled to disclose; provided, however, that such Stockholder shall use its best efforts to obtain written assurance that any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed shall accord confidential treatment to such Confidential Information.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.2 will diminish the protections and benefits under applicable Legal Requirements to which any Trade Secret of the Company or Purchaser is entitled. If any information that the Company or Purchaser asserts to be a Trade Secret under applicable Legal Requirements is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be such a Trade Secret, such information will nonetheless be considered Confidential Information of the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 6.2.

9.4 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced against either the Stockholders or the Purchaser for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written notice of such claim or Proceeding is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the subject matter of such claim or Proceeding on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or Proceeding is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.1, irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim or Proceeding shall have occurred before or after such date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) in the event of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty which includes any qualification as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect,” for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss with respect to such breach or inaccuracy, no effect will be given to such qualification as to “materiality” or a “Material Adverse Effect” contained therein (for the avoidance of doubt, such qualifications would continue to apply to the determination as to whether or not a breach or inaccuracy had occurred, but not in the determination of the amount of the Loss);

(ii) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification for monetary damages pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) (other than with respect to a Breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 4.2 or 4.3 hereof), 9.2(b) (other than with respect to a Breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 3.5(f) or 3.6 hereof), 9.2(h) or 9.3(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds $75,000 (the “Basket”), after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the amount of all such Losses including the Basket;

(iii) the maximum aggregate amount of monetary damages for indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Sections 9.2(a), 9.2(b) and 9.2(h), other than for a Breach of a Specified Representation, shall be equal to the aggregate of the Cash Escrow Amount and the value of the Stock Escrow Amount at the time of such claim for Loss, and the maximum aggregate amount of monetary damages for indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Sections 9.3(a) shall be equal to the $4,100,000; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with (A) a Breach of a Specified Representation, or (B) claims pursuant to Sections 9.2(c), 9.2(g) or 9.3(c), the maximum amount of monetary damages for indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Sections 9.2 or 9.3, respectively, shall not be subject to such limit;

(iv) the Purchase Price adjustment (other than to the extent the adjustment reduces the aggregate amount available for indemnification as provided in Sections 9.4(b)(iii)) and Taxes that are the subject of Article VII, respectively, shall not be subject to this Article IX; and

(v) notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on damages set forth in Sections 9.4(b)(ii) and (iii) shall not apply (x) in the case of fraud or other willful misconduct or (y) to Losses arising from the causes set forth in Section 9.2(d), 9.2(e), 9.2(g), 9.3(b), 9.3(c) and 9.3(d).

(c) No Stockholder (including any officer or director of a Stockholder, if applicable) shall have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Company, the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss claimed by a Purchaser Indemnified Party. The Purchaser (including any officer or director of the Purchaser) shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Stockholders or any other Stockholder Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss claimed by a Stockholder Indemnified Party.

(d) Each payment by an Indemnifying Party made pursuant to this Article IX shall be reduced to the extent of any (i) insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser or the Stockholders, as applicable, (ii) Tax benefits actually realized by the Company in respect of the Losses giving rise to such payment, or (iii) reimbursements or similar payments actually received by the Purchaser or the Stockholders, as applicable, from a third party with respect to such payment; provided, however, neither the Purchaser nor any Stockholder, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to seek any payments from, or take action with respect to, any insurance policies or third parties in lieu of or as a condition to receiving a payment from an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX and any such action shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Purchaser or the Stockholders, as applicable.

(e) All amounts due to a Purchaser Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid first from the Escrow Account until all monies and securities in such account are exhausted and then, to the extent not limited under Section 9.4(b), severally and not jointly, by the Stockholders liable hereunder, in each case by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days following such final determination; provided, that indemnifiable Losses shall be satisfied out of the Cash Escrow Amount first, and the Stock Escrow Amount second.

9.5 Notice of Loss.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating in reasonable detail the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”). Any failure on the part of an Indemnified Party to provide notice promptly shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall not dispute any Losses or amounts in the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall as soon as practicable, but in no event greater than 30 calendar days from receipt of the Indemnification Claim Notice, remit payment of the amounts of Loss to the Indemnified Party.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall disagree with any Losses or amounts in the Indemnification Claim Notice within 30 calendar days following receipt of the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may deliver a notice of such disagreement (an “Indemnification Claim Dispute”) setting forth, in reasonable detail and to the extent practicable, each item or amount of Loss so disputed by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party an Indemnification Claim Dispute, the Indemnified Party may either: (i) elect to negotiate any disputed item(s) and amount(s) of Loss or (ii) refer any disputed item(s) and amount(s) to arbitration as set forth in Section 9.5(e) below for resolution in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reach agreement on any of the disputed items and amounts of Loss set forth in the Indemnification Claim Notice, then (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall (A) execute a memorandum setting forth the resolved item(s) and/or amount(s) of Loss and (B) refer any remaining disputed item(s) and amount(s) to arbitration as set forth in Section 9.5(e) below for resolution in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall within 30 calendar days of the execution of such memorandum make the payment to the Indemnified Party of the agreed upon amount.

(e) Resolution of Conflicts.

(i) If no agreement between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party on the Losses set forth in the Indemnification Claim Notice can be reached after good faith negotiation and within 30 calendar days after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Notice, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of a pending litigation with a Third Party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be determined by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. In the event that, within 30 calendar days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within 15 calendar days after the end of such 30 calendar day period, the Indemnified Party shall select one arbitrator, and the Indemnifying Party shall select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. If either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party fails to select an arbitrator during this 15 calendar day period, then the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as appropriate. Even after any arbitration begins, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall retain the right to come to an agreement upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. Upon reaching such agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and the arbitration shall cease.

(ii) Any such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise determined by applicable law, the arbitrator shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information in a reasonably expeditious and cost-effective manner from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent New York State court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in the Indemnification Claim Notice shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. Within 30 calendar days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall make the payment to the Indemnified Party.

(iii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute among the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party under this Article IX.

9.6 Third Party Claims. If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Proceeding, audit, claim, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim stating in reasonable detail the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice at its own expense provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its responsibility to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party so undertakes any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake such defense and elects to allow the Indemnified Party to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim Liability or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.6, the Indemnifying Party shall have the power and authority to settle or consent to the entry of judgment in respect of such claim or proceeding without the consent of the Indemnified Party if the judgment or settlement results only in the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money damages and includes a release of the Indemnified Party from any and all liability thereunder, and, in all other events, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.7 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided herein, including pursuant to Article X hereof, the Purchaser and the Stockholders acknowledge and agree that following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser and the Stockholders for any breach by the other Party of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and for any failure by the other Party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement, except that (a) if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or are otherwise breached, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy at law or equity and (b) the foregoing clause shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right or remedy arising by reason of any claim of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional omissions with respect to this Agreement.

9.8 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. The Purchaser and the Stockholders agree to treat any payment made under this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE X

(a) Registration. The Purchaser shall prepare and file with the SEC on or before the 90th day following the Closing (the “Filing Date”) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-3 (or, if the Purchaser is not then eligible to use Form S-3, then another appropriate form) providing for the public resale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement may include securities other than those held by Holders, so long as all of the Registrable Securities are covered by such Registration Statement. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective (subject to Section 10.1(b)), pursuant to the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, until (i) the date when all of the Registrable Securities cease to meet the definition of Registrable Securities, or (ii) the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder terminate under Section 10.5 hereof. In the event that the Registration Statement shall cease to be effective, the Purchaser shall promptly prepare and file a new registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible. Any such registration statement shall be considered a “Registration Statement” hereunder.

(b) Blackout Notice. In the event (i) that the Purchaser concludes that it is necessary for the Purchaser to supplement the Prospectus or make an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act so as to cause the Prospectus to become current, or (ii) that, in the judgment of the Purchaser’s Chief Executive Officer or the Purchaser’s Board of Directors, it is advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus for a discrete period of time due to undisclosed pending corporate developments or pending public filings with the SEC (which need not be described in detail), the Purchaser shall deliver a written notice (the “Blackout Notice”) to the Holders to the effect of the foregoing and, upon delivery of the Blackout Notice, the Holders shall not sell any WEBM Shares pursuant to the Prospectus and shall not disclose to any third party that such a notice has been given or the contents of the notice. Following delivery of the Blackout Notice, the Holders shall once again be entitled to sell WEBM Shares pursuant to the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) upon the Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus, or at such time as the Holders are advised in writing by the Purchaser that the Prospectus may be used, and at such time as the Holders have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus and which are required to be delivered as part of the Prospectus. In any event, such restrictions shall terminate no later than 60 days after the date of delivery of the Blackout Notice. In no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to deliver more than three Blackout Notices during any 12-month period.

(c) Expenses. The registration fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the Registration Statement and actions taken by the Purchaser in connection with each Blackout Notice shall be borne by the Purchaser. Each Holder shall be responsible for any fees and expenses of its counsel or other advisers, and for any fees, commissions and expenses of its broker, underwriter or agent related to sale of its shares.

10.2 Obligations of the Purchaser. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Furnish to each Holder a complete copy of each registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, and such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by it that are included in such registration.

(b) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Purchaser shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions.

(c) Notify the Holders promptly (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of a registration statement for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (iii) of the receipt by the Purchaser of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable.

(e) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Registrable Securities on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Purchaser is then listed.

10.3 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Purchaser to take any action pursuant to Section 10.1 that the Holders shall furnish to the Purchaser such information regarding it, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of its Registrable Securities.

10.4 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement:

(a) By the Purchaser. To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members, managers and employees of each Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Holders or such persons (such persons and entities referred to as “Holder Indemnified Parties”), against any Losses, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of any claim, action or proceeding brought by a third party arising out of or based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, including, without limitation, the Prospectus, filed pursuant to this Article X;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a registration statement, including, without limitation, the Prospectus, filed pursuant to this Article X a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances; or

(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Purchaser of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law, in each case in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Purchaser will reimburse each Holder Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall the Purchaser be liable in any such case for any such Loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration statement or any other document filed with or furnished to the SEC by such Holder Indemnified Party; and provided further, that the Purchaser will not be liable for the reasonable legal fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Holder Indemnified Parties.

(b) By the Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its officers, directors, agents and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or such persons (such persons and entities referred to as “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses to which such Purchaser Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holders expressly for use in connection with such registration statement or any other document filed with or furnished to the SEC; and such Holders will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such Violation. ; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided further, that the Holders shall not be liable for the reasonable legal fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this subsection in respect of all Violations shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violations arise.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement of such an action, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the indemnified parties; provided, however, that the indemnified parties shall have the right to retain counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses of a single such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section to the extent such delay caused material prejudice to the indemnifying party.

(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Purchaser and the Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a prospectus but eliminated or remedied in a free-writing prospectus, an amended prospectus or a prospectus supplement on file with the SEC (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreements shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished in a timely manner to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Purchaser and the Holders under this Section shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise.

(f) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Losses, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall any contribution under this Section from a Holder, together with the amount of any indemnification payments made by such Holder pursuant to this Section, exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the Violation relates 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 Violation.

10.5 Termination of Purchaser’s Obligations. The Purchaser shall have no obligation to register, or maintain, a registration statement governing Registrable Securities, subject to the earlier to occur of: (a) if all Registrable Securities have been registered and sold pursuant to Rule 144 or registrations effected pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) one year after the date of the Closing.

12.2 Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Stockholders, the Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

12.4 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser (which consent may be not be unreasonably withheld), as the case may be; provided, however, that, the Purchaser may assign this Agreement without the consent of the Stockholder Representative to (i) an Affiliate, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) the buyer or surviving entity in connection with a merger (or other change of control of the Purchaser) or the sale of all or substantially all of the Purchaser’s assets.

12.5 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 12.6.

12.6 Waiver. Either the Stockholder Representative or the Purchaser may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party or conditions to such Party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of their rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

12.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied (including the provisions of Article IX), is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions. Each of the Parties hereby (a) certifies that no representative of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12.10.

12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

12.15 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages may not be an adequate remedy therefore. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Party and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement against the other Party, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity.
