15

available thereunder (including, without limitation, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder).

Section 4.10     Short Selling . Such Purchaser has not engaged in any Short Sales involving Common Shares owned by it between the time it first began discussions with the Company about the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the date of execution of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt any Losses recovered by a third party against a Purchaser Related Party as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein shall be included in such Indemnified Party’s Losses, regardless of the form of such third party’s Losses and whether components of such awards relate to special, consequential or punitive damages.

Section 6.2     Indemnification Procedure . Promptly after the Company and its respective representatives or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “ Indemnified Party ”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or

18

proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided , however , that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not include any admission of violation of law, wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

The Company shall prepare and use its reasonable best efforts to file no later than 90 days following the Closing with the Commission (such filing date, the “ Mandatory Shelf Filing Date ”) a registration statement with the Commission providing for registration and resale, on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415, of all of the Registrable Securities then outstanding from time to time; such registration statement shall be on Form S-1 (or any equivalent or successor form) under the Securities Act (or to the extent the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form); provided, however, that if the Company has filed the registration statement on Form S-1 and subsequently becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to (i) file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement converting such registration statement on Form S-1 to a registration statement on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms or (ii) withdraw the registration statement on Form S-1 and file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, (the registration statement on such form, as amended or supplemented, the “ Registration Statement ”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (A) the date when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and (B) the date on which all of the Purchased Shares cease to be Registrable Securities hereunder (such period, the “ Effectiveness Period ”). The Registration Statement when effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain 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 the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that the Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Company shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. For so long as any Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement remain unsold, the Company will file any supplements to the prospectus contained therein or post-effective amendments required to be filed by applicable law in order to incorporate into such prospectus any Current Reports on Form 8-K necessary or required to be filed by applicable law, any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or any Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Commission, or any other information necessary so that (i) the Registration Statement shall not include any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) the Company complies with its obligations under Item 512(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.

(a)    the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or, if a Registration Statement has been filed but not declared effective by the Commission, request effectiveness of such Registration Statement, for a period of up to 65 days, if (A) the Company determines that a postponement is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders generally due to a pending transaction involving the Company (including a pending securities offering by the Company, or any proposed financing, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, consolidation or other significant transaction involving the Company), (B) the Company determines, on the advice of counsel, that such registration would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, or (C) the Company determines such registration would require disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential;  provided ,  however , that (i) in no event shall any such period exceed an aggregate of 135 days in any 365-day period and (ii) this right, together with the right to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.2(b), may not be exercised more than two times in any 365-day period; and

(b)    the Company may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement or other registration statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement but may settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if (i) the Company determines that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (ii) the Company has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would adversely affect the Company; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 135 days in any 365-day period and (ii) this right, together with the right to delay filing or effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.2(a), may not be exercised more than two times in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.
