certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith
judgment of the Chief Executive Officer it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its
shareholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company's obligation

determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the
managing underwriter may exclude some or all of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall so
advise all Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting, and the number of shares
of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
first to the Company; second to the Holders of Registrable Securities (and pro rata among such
holders on the basis of all Registrable Securities then held by such holders); and third among all

them the opportunity to participate in accordance with Section 6.2. In the event the registration is

which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders of a
majority of Registrable Securities agree to deem such registration to have been effected as of the
date of such withdrawal for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated
pursuant to Section 6.1(aXii)(A) through (E) or 6.3(b)(ii), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent
registration, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders). If the Holders are required

(including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares
for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses
of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then such registration shall not be deemed to
have been effected for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to
Section 6.1(aXiiXA) through (E) or 6.3(bXii), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent
registration.

asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the
Securities Act, and if the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to the loss,
liability, claim or damage.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are
included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected,
indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the
Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the
Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other
such Holder, each of such Holder's officers and directors and each person controlling such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, 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, and will
reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control
persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use
therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this Section 6.6(b) shall
be limited in an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the
"Indannifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as
to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of
any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the
Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such party's expense, 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 under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an
Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party
shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or separate and
different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
12.

except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement which 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 to such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, 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 loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense 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 statements or omissions that
resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Section
6.6(d), when combined with any payments made pursuant to Section 6.6(b) exceed the net 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 untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
6.7 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities
included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or
Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or
Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information
in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request
in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Holder to sell any such
