state the reasons therefor), then the Company will promptly furnish each such Holder of
Registrable Securities with a copy of such opinion, and by providing such written notice to
each such Holder, such Holder may be denied the registration of all or a specified portion
of such Registrable Securities (in case of such a denial as to a portion of such Registrable

EFTA02038344
file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably

such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-

received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete
copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration
Statement (provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein
which would constitute material non-public information as to any Holder which has not
executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company); and (iv) comply in all material
respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the
applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended
methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as
so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall,
pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as
reasonably possible (and, in the case of (iXA) below, not less than I Trading Day prior to

EFTA02038345
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all
of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of
the receipt by the Company 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; (v)
of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements
included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made
in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any
revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case
of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) the occurrence or existence of any
pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes
may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best
interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or
Prospectus; provided that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to each
Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is
required by law.
(d) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or
(ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of
each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent
requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by
reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.
(0 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to
the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the
selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the
giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(g) NASD Rule 2710 Filing• Broker Compensation. The Company shall effect
a filing with respect to the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement (an
"Issuer Filing") with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA")
Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 within one Trading Day
of the date that the Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission and pay the
filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until the FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does
6
EFTA_R1_00552347
EFTA02038346
not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement. A
copy of the Issuer Filing and all related correspondence with respect thereto shall be
provided to Purchaser.
(h) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders
in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or
qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder
reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or
things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where
it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction.
(i) If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be
delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be
free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to
enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as any such Holders may request.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3, as
promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the
Company's good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its
stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or
amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a
supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will 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, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance
with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus
until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall
suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the
use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.
(k) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.
(1) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a

EFTA02038348
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Lossel"), as incurred, arising out of or
relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or

misleading, or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in
connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the
extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely
upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such
Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and
was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a
Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment
or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto
for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in
Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after
the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or
defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section
6(d). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion
of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement of which the Company is aware.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees,
each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or
employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon:
(x) such Holder's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so
famished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such
Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that such information
relates to such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was
reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a
Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto
for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in
9
EFTA_R1_00552350
EFTA02038349
Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after
the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or
defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section
6(d). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified
Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is
sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the
right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to
give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to
appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (I) the
Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding
and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such
Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to
the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the
reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense
of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the
Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in
connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within
ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the
10
EFTA_R1_00552351
EFTA02038350
Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such
fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is judicially
determined to be not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless
for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action,
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any
reasonable attorneys' or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with
any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or
expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in
accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of
the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of
the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages
that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in
addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any
of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the
case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under
this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary
damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a
breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in
the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not
assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party
and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the
same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or
by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf' format data file, such signature shall create a valid and

invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find
and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as

each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other
agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and
enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and
it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose.
