(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In order for a person or entity (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any person or entity against the Indemnified Party (a “Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court filings and related papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Claim.
If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume at its cost the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to settle such suit, action, claim or proceeding in its discretion with an unconditional full release of the Indemnified Party and no admission of fault, liability, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to its indemnification obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has materially failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a timely manner against Claims or (ii) such Indemnified Party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there are defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such Indemnifying Party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists. Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, 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 will 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 will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable 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 Section 5(a) or 5(b) 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 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 this Section 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder will be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the 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. 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 or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Other. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

No objection may be made by a party to the manner of delivery of any notice actually received in writing by an authorized agent of such party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Holder, by written request to the Company, may notify the Company that it does not wish to be notified of any registrations or offerings pursuant to this Agreement, in which case, after receipt of such notice, the Company shall not notify such Holder of such registrations or offerings until such Holder, by written notice, revokes such request.

(c) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) with respect to any Purchaser(s), on such date as no Registrable Securities remain outstanding or beneficially owned by such Purchaser(s) or (b) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.
(d) Holdback. In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration in which a Holder participates, such Holder will enter into a customary lock-up, holdback or similar agreement, if requested by the managing underwriter(s) of such offering, during the ten (10) days prior and the ninety-day (90) period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (or such lesser period as agreed to by the managing underwriter(s)) and otherwise in a form consistent with the terms applicable to the other participants in such offering. Any such lock-up, holdback or similar agreement shall contain terms no more adverse in any material respect compared to similar agreements entered into with the Company and its directors and executive officers as well as holders of at least 5% of Common Stock. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any Common Stock subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(d) until the expiration of the lock-up period. Any such lock-up agreement shall provide that if any party to a similar lock-up is released from its lock-up agreement, in part or in full, all other lock-up parties shall be released on the same terms and to the same extent.
(e) Restrictions on Transfer. The rights under this Agreement shall be assignable by each Purchaser to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) such transferee or assignee is an “affiliate” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such Purchaser; (ii) such Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (iii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated in clause (iii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein as applicable to a Purchaser. In the event that the Company receives written notice from a Purchaser that it has transferred all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) and such Holder has complied with clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall have up to ten (10) Business Days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current, effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415. The Company shall not assign this Agreement (or any rights or obligations hereunder) without the prior written consent of a majority of the Holders of Registrable Securities then outstanding.
(f) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.
(g) Complete Agreement; Modifications.

(k) Waivers Strictly Construed. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to any party hereunder (a) no waiver or extension of time will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party and (b) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.
(l) Severability. The validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected even if one or more of the provisions of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.
(m) Attorneys’ Fees. Should any litigation be commenced (including any proceedings in a bankruptcy court) between the parties hereto or their representatives concerning any provision of this Agreement or the rights and duties of any person or entity hereunder, the party or parties prevailing in such proceeding will be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to the attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by reason of such litigation.
(n) Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular Section.
(o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Annex A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Securities covered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. All costs, expenses and fees connected with the registration of these Securities will be borne by us. Any brokerage commissions and similar expenses connected with selling the Securities will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest who may acquire Securities through a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These transactions include:
• through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them, whether individually or through an underwriting syndicate led by one or more managing underwriters;
• in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;
• directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;
• through agents;
• by delayed delivery contracts or by remarketing firms;
• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
• exchange or over-the-counter distributions in accordance with the rules of the exchange or other market;
• block trades in which the broker-dealer attempts to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
• transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;
• a combination of any such method of sale; or
• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In connection with distributions of the Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may:
• sell the Securities:
- in negotiated transactions;
- in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;
- at market prices prevailing at the times of sale;
- at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
- at negotiated prices;
• sell the Securities:
- on a national securities exchange;
- in the over-the-counter market; or
- in transactions otherwise than on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or in combination;
• sell the Securities short and/or deliver the Securities to close out short positions;
• enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of Securities covered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and
• pledge Securities to broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.
The Selling Securityholders may also resell all or a portion of the Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, or any other exemption from the registration requirements that become available, rather than under this prospectus.
If underwriters are used in the sale of any Securities, such Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. Securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. As applicable, we will describe in each accompanying prospectus supplement the name of the underwriter(s) and the nature of any such relationship(s).
If a dealer is used in an offering of Securities, the dealer may purchase the securities, as principal. The dealer may then resell the Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of sale.
Securities may be sold directly or through agents designated from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of such shares and we will describe any commissions paid to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.
Underwriters who participate in the distribution of Securities may be granted an option to purchase additional Securities in connection with the distribution.
Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. Each accompanying prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
In connection with sales of Securities, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of Securities in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell Securities short and the Selling Securityholders may deliver Securities covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Securities in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Securities offered by this prospectus, which Securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders may also transfer and donate Securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act of 1934.
Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of Securities may engage in transactions with, and perform other services for, us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation.
In effecting sales, the Selling Securityholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may in turn arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or from the purchasers of Securities for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. To our knowledge, there is currently no plan, arrangement or understanding between any Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of any Securities by the Selling Securityholders.
The Selling Securityholders, any broker-dealers or agents and any participating broker- dealers that act in connection with the sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus may be “underwriters” under the Securities Act with respect to those Securities and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of that Act. Any profit that the Selling Securityholders realize, and any compensation that any broker-dealer or agent may receive in connection with any sale, including any profit realized on resale of Securities acquired as principal, may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions. If the Selling Securityholders are deemed to be underwriters, the Selling Securityholders may be subject to certain liabilities under statutes including, but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
The securities laws of some states may require the Selling Securityholders to sell the Securities in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. These laws may also require that we register or qualify the Securities for sale in those states unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available and the Selling Securityholders and we comply with that exemption. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of Securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities.
If any Selling Securityholder notifies us that he has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, over-the-counter distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file any necessary supplement to this prospectus to disclose:
• the number of Securities involved in the arrangement;
• the terms of the arrangement, including the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents who purchase Securities, as required;
• the proposed selling price to the public;
• any discount, commission or other underwriting compensation;
• the place and time of delivery for the Securities being sold;
• any discount, commission or concession allowed, reallowed or paid to any dealers; and
• any other material terms of the distribution of Securities.
In addition, if the Selling Securityholder notifies us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in interest of the Selling Securityholder intends to sell more than 500 securities, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required.
