2.7 Expenses. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registration hereunder shall be borne by GBH.

2.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless GBH, any Underwriter, GBH Underwriter and each Person, if any, who controls GBH, Underwriter or GBH Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under any securities Laws including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other statute or common law of the United States or any other country or political subdivision thereof, or otherwise, including the amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened (including any amounts paid pursuant to or in settlement of claims made under the indemnification or contribution provisions of any underwriting or similar agreement entered into by GBH in connection with any offering or sale of securities covered by this Agreement), and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement, including any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein or any free writing Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or in any offering memorandum or other offering document relating to the offering and sale of such securities 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; provided, however, the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that (A) it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by GBH; or (B) is caused by GBH’s disposition of Registrable Shares during any period during which GBH was obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(d), including as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or Prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities, of which GBH had received prior written notice from the Company.

(b) GBH shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, any Underwriter, GBH Underwriter, any other Person selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such Underwriter, GBH Underwriter or other Person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) which arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation: (i) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by GBH; or (ii) is caused by GBH’s disposition of Registrable Shares using a registration statement during any period during which GBH is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(d), including as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any such registration statement or Prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities of which GBH had received prior written notice. GBH shall reimburse, as and when incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.8(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of GBH, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that, other than with respect to Section 2.8(b)(ii), the total amount to be indemnified shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions) received by GBH in the offering to which the registration statement or Prospectus relates.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any action by a Governmental Authority), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof 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 mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing 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 not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8 except to the extent that the indemnifying party would be prejudiced as a result of such failure, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability in any case in which a claim for indemnification is made pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provided for indemnification in such case, the Company and GBH shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in proportion to the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and GBH, on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages liabilities, or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party 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 indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that in any such case, 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; provided further, however, that in no event shall any contribution under this Section 2.8(d) on the part of GBH exceed the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions) received by GBH from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation, except in the case of Section 2.8(b)(ii) or willful misconduct or fraud by GBH, which has been determined in a final adjudication to which GBH has no further rights of appeal.

(e) The obligations of the Company and GBH under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Agreement and otherwise.

2.9 SEC Reports. With a view to making available to GBH the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit GBH to sell Registrable Securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to at any time that it is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act:

(a) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(b) furnish to GBH, so long as GBH owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC (exclusive of Rule 144A) which permits the selling of any Registrable Securities without registration.

2.10 Termination of Registration Rights. Except for Section 2.8, which shall survive until the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation, Section 2 shall terminate automatically and have no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Registration Rights Term.

3. Company Covenants.

3.1 Company Information. For so long as GBH holds Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC promptly following the filing date of such reports.

3.2 Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Designations. For so long as GBH holds Registrable Securities, the Company will not amend its certificate of incorporation or the Certificate of Designations in any manner materially adverse to GBH without the written consent of GBH.

5.3 Current Public Information. For so long as GBH holds Registrable Securities, the Company, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, will provide to GBH and to each prospective Third Party purchaser (as designated by GBH) of such Registrable Securities, upon the request of GBH or prospective Third Party purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

4.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or duties of a party hereto may be assigned by such party, in whole or in part, without (a) the prior written consent of the Company in the case of any assignment by GBH; or (b) the prior written consent of GBH in the case of an assignment by the Company. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by GBH to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is an Affiliate of GBH; provided, however, that (x) the Company is, at least five (5) Business Days prior such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred and evidence satisfactory to the Company that such transferee is an Affiliate of GBH; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

No single or partial assertion or exercise of any right, power or remedy of a party hereunder shall preclude any other or further assertion or exercise thereof.

4.14 Specific Performance. The Company and GBH hereby acknowledge and agree that the rights of the parties hereunder are special, unique and of extraordinary character, and that if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such refusal or failure would result in irreparable injury to the Company or GBH, as the case may be, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate and the remedies at law for which would not be reasonable or adequate compensation. Accordingly, if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to any damaged party at law or in equity, such damaged party will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damages, which remedy such damaged party will be entitled to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction.

4.15 No Conflicting Agreements. GBH hereby represents and warrants to the Company that, other than with respect to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, it is not, as of the date of this Agreement, a party to, and agrees that, , it shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that conflicts with the rights granted to the Company in this Agreement. The Company hereby represents and warrants to GBH that it is not, as of the date of this Agreement, a party to, and further agrees with GBH that it shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into, any agreement that conflicts with the rights granted to GBH in this Agreement, in each case, other than with respect to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, or enter into any agreement that contains registration rights which are more favorable than the rights granted hereunder unless any such more favorable rights are concurrently added to the rights granted hereunder. The Company further represents and warrants that the rights granted to GBH hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to any other holder of the Company’s securities under any other agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement, other than with respect to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement.
