               (e) notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the context in which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such Holder, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the context in which they were made, not misleading;

               (i) make available for inspection by each Holder of such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder;

               (k) permit each Holder of Registrable Securities, that is or might reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included therein;

               (l) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any U.S. jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

               (n) obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request; and

               (o) to the extent required under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as interpreted by the Staff of the SEC under currently operative no-action letters, in order for a Broker-Dealer Holder (as defined infra) to resell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, include in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus (as defined below) contained in the Registration Statement a statement to the effect that any Holder which is a broker or dealer registered under the Exchange Act (“Broker-Dealer”) and which is a Broker-Dealer Holder, may sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealer that the SEC may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” section shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Registrable Securities held by such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or by the SEC.

               (b) Each Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, including such officers who signed a Registration Statement, and 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, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers and each such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) the breach by the Holder of any representation or warranty made by the Holder herein, or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material

fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in a Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in a Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use therein, and will promptly reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers and each such controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers and each such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Holder’s aggregate liability under this Section 4.6 (including paragraphs (c) and (d) hereof, but excluding clause (i) of this Section 4.6(b) and related indemnification liability) shall not exceed the amount of proceeds (the “Proceeds”) received by such Holder from the sale of the Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement; and provided, further, that the Holder will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) the breach by the Company of any representation or warranty made by the Company herein, or (ii) a violation by the Company of any provision of federal or state securities law applicable to the Company.

               (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.6 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action indemnifiable hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 4.6, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.6 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4.6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases

the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

               (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.6 is required by its terms but is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.6 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Holder from the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder and the resale of the Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Holder in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or a Registration Statement which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Holder on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Holder for the Shares purchased by such Holder that were sold pursuant to a Registration Statement bears to the difference between the amount such Holder paid for such Shares that were sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and the amount received by such Holder from such sale. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and each Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Holder and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.6, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.6 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.6 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph; provided, further, that the Holder’s contribution, if any, pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not exceed the amount of the Proceeds. 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.

     4.7 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. A Holder may not participate in any Piggyback Registration hereunder which is underwritten unless the Holder (a) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company in connection therewith, and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that the Holder, as a holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration, shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than customary representations and warranties regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution.

     4.8 Information Available. The Company, upon the reasonable request of the Holder and with prior notice, will be available to the Holder or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters to discuss information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder and will otherwise cooperate with the Holder conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the Holder’s exposure to liability under the Securities Act with respect thereto, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters, subject to appropriate confidentiality limitations.

     4.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:

               (a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

               (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

               (c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the SEC 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 that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.

If, moreover, any of those provisions shall for any reason be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because excessively broad or vague as to duration, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting, reducing or defining it, so as to be enforceable.

     5.12 Intent of the Parties. The parties to this Agreement intend that the transaction described in this Agreement is an arms-length, good faith purchase and sale of the Shares and, notwithstanding any other agreements to the contrary, is not intended to be, and shall not be, a loan. It is the intention of the parties, however, that if a court were ever to construe the transaction described herein to be a loan, that this transaction conform strictly to applicable usury laws from time to time in force, and all agreements between the parties, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lydian, or collected by Lydian, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, or for the payment or performance of any covenants contained in this Agreement or in any other agreements, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable usury laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other agreements, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve an amount or any portion thereof in excess of the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the payment to be made or the amount to be delivered or to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if under any circumstances Lydian shall ever receive an amount deemed interest, by applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount deemed due and owing hereunder and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and other indebtedness, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and shall be refunded to the party making such payment.
