In connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the Company will give the Holders of Restricted Securities registered under such Registration Statement, their underwriter, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each of them access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business, finances and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with its officers, directors and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders and such underwriters’ respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

2.5 Certain Rights of Holders. The Company will not file any Registration Statement under the Securities Act which refers to any Holder of Restricted Securities by name or otherwise without the prior approval of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.6 Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made with the NASD and reasonable counsel fees in connection therewith); (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws (including all reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the underwriter(s) in any underwriting) in connection with compliance with state Blue Sky or securities laws for all states in the United States; (iii) all expenses of printing, messenger and delivery services and telephone calls; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and (v) all fees and

disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), but excluding from this paragraph, fees and expenses of counsel to the underwriter(s), if any, unless otherwise set forth herein.

(b) The Company will not be responsible for any underwriting discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale of Restricted Securities or any legal fees or disbursements (other than any such fees or disbursements relating to Blue Sky compliance or otherwise as set forth under Section 2.6(a)) incurred by any underwriters in any underwritten offering if the underwriter participates in such underwritten offering at the request of the Holders of Restricted Securities, or any transfer taxes that may be imposed in connection with a sale or transfer of Restricted Securities.

(c) The Company shall, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

2.7 Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder covered by any Registration Statement, (ii) each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, (iii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any such Holder or underwriter (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (iii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling Person”), and (iv) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any such Holder or underwriter or any controlling Person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) may hereinafter be referred to as an “indemnified Person”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses, joint or several (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, “Claims”), to which such indemnified Person may become subject under either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon, or are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or a violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or any state securities law, or any other law applicable to the Company relating to any such registration or qualification, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses of any such indemnified Person; (x) are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information relating to such indemnified Person furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any of such indemnified Person expressly for use therein; (y) with respect to the preliminary Prospectus, result from the fact that such Holder sold Securities to a Person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if the Company shall have previously furnished copies thereof to such

Holder in accordance with this Agreement and said Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, would have corrected such untrue statement or omission; or (z) as a result of the use by an indemnified Person of any Prospectus when, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 2.3(b)(iv), the indemnified Person or the related Holder was not permitted to do so. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

In case any action shall be brought or asserted against any of the indemnified Persons with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall assume the defense thereof. Such indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified Person unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Company shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any implied parties) include both the indemnified Person and the Company and the indemnified Person shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified Person), it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with such action or similar or related actions or proceedings 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 (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all the indemnified Persons, which firm shall be (x) designated by such indemnified Persons; and (y) reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified Person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Company. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment on or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified Person is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such action, claim litigation or proceeding.

(b) Each Holder of Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each of the indemnified Persons, but only (i) with respect to actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, and (ii) to the extent of the gross proceeds, if any, received by such Holder from the sale or other disposition of his or its

Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its directors or officers or any such controlling Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company in Section 2.7(a) (except that the Holder may but shall not be required to assume the defense thereof), and the Company or its directors or officers or such controlling Person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by Section 2.7(a).

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 2.7(a) or (b) (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party (in the case of the Holders severally and not jointly), in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder on the other hand from sale of Restricted Securities, or (ii) if such 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 such Holder in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of such Holder on the other 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 or by such Holder and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid to a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities judgments and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 2.7(a), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Company and each Holder of Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders 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 in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7(c), no Holder (and none of its related indemnified Persons) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Restricted Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (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 indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 2.7 are in addition to any liability which the indemnifying Person may otherwise have to the indemnified Persons referred to above.

2.8 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

2.9 Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Restricted Securities in an underwritten offering. In any such underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Company. Such investment bankers and managers are referred to herein as the “underwriters.”
