The Administrative Agent is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full limited liability company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.

4

(b)    Understandings or Arrangements. The Administrative Agent is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of the Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting the Administrative Agent’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to any effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). 
(c)    Status. At the time the Administrative Agent was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

The Administrative Agent is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)    Non-Registration of Securities.

The Administrative Agent represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS
4.1    Furnishing of Information. Until the time that the Administrative Agent does not hold any Securities, the Company covenants to file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as the Administrative Agent owns any Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Administrative Agent and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Administrative Agent to sell the Securities, including without limitation, under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
4.2    Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the issuance of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
5

4.3    Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall apply to list all of the Securities on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Securities, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Securities to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market concurrently with such listing or quotation. 
4.4    Delivery of Securities after Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Securities to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Closing Date. The Securities, together with any additional shares of Common Stock issued as provided in Section 4.6, shall, upon issuance in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii) and without further action on the part of the Company or the Administrative Agent, become “Monroe Supporting Shares” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.
4.5    Nasdaq Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the Monroe Warrants (as defined in the Credit Agreement), during such time as the Company’s shares are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (or any other securities exchange with similar restrictions), the Administrative Agent shall have no right to receive from the Company, including the Securities and the shares underlying the Monroe Warrants, more than 19.999% of the amount of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding on November 15, 2021, when taken together with any shares issued pursuant to the Second Lien Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), unless the Company’s shareholders shall have approved the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Monroe Warrants. The foregoing shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s ability to pursue any remedies against the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Monroe Warrants for failure to deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such documents.
4.6    Issuance of Additional Securities. Pursuant to Section 10.16.2(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Company may, at its option, issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Administrative Agent upon two Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent. Such additional shares of Common Stock shall, upon issuance in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii) and without further action on the part of the Company or the Administrative Agent, become “Securities” for all purposes of this Agreement and “Monroe Supporting Shares” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.  The representations and warranties of the Company and the Administrative Agent in this Agreement shall be deemed to be re-made as of the date of any such additional issuance.
4.7    Restriction on Sale of Securities. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees and covenants that, it will not, during the period from the date of the Closing and ending on the earlier of (i) August 29, 2022 or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the “Lock-Up Period”), Transfer any of the Securities (a “Prohibited Transfer”), except to a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 5.6. If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Securities as one of its shareholders for any purpose. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the Administrative Agent from engaging in any hedging or other transaction with respect to Securities which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Securities even if such Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the Administrative Agent. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option) with respect to any of the Securities, or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such 
6

Securities. In order to enforce this Section 4.7, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Securities until the end of the Lock-Up Period, as well as include customary legends on any certificates for any of the Securities reflecting the restrictions under this Section 4.7.
4.8    Proceeds upon Sale of Securities. Pursuant to Section 10.16.2(a) of the Credit Agreement, upon disposing of any Securities, the Administrative Agent shall apply 100% of the net proceeds from such disposition as the mandatory prepayment of the Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) required by Section 6.2.2(b)(vii) of the Credit Agreement and, if such proceeds exceed the then-existing Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall remit such excess amount to the Company.
4.9    Return of Securities. Pursuant to Section 10.16.2(b) of the Credit Agreement, upon Payment in Full (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall return to the Company any Securities that have not been disposed of in accordance with Section 4.8 of this Agreement and Section 10.16 of the Credit Agreement.
4.10    Voting. The Administrative Agent shall not exercise any voting rights with respect to the Securities, including by granting or purporting to grant any proxy with respect to the Securities, depositing the Securities into a voting trust or entering into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any Person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Securities, in each case, with respect to any matter. 
4.11    Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends, whether cash dividends or stock dividends, stock splits, and any other distributions from or under the Securities, received by the Administrative Agent from time to time during the term of this Agreement shall be, (a) with respect to cash dividends or distributions, applied as the mandatory prepayment of the Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (b) with respect to stock dividends, splits or distributions, added to and become a part of the Securities (and, as such, shall become subject to the terms of this Agreement).
4.12    Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes: (i) the Securities shall not be treated as outstanding, and (ii) a disposition of the Securities by the Administrative Agent and the application of the net proceeds from such disposition as a repayment of the Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be treated as an initial issuance of the Securities by the Company and a repayment of the Loans by the Company with the proceeds of such issuance.  The parties hereto agree not to report or take any position for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes that is inconsistent with such intended tax treatment.

Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4, subsection 2.1.6 and Section 2.4, upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (b) thirty (30) days prior to August 29, 2022, one or more Holders may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand, a “Demand Registration” and such persons making such written demand, the “Demanding Holders”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file any Registration Statement for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods that is not legally available to the Company. The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each such Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall (i) file a Registration Statement in respect of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holder(s) pursuant to such Demand Registration, not more than thirty (30) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, and (ii) shall effect the registration thereof as soon as practicable thereafter. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of five (5) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration initiated by one or more Holders; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Holder(s) to be registered on behalf of the Holder(s) in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold.
 
2.1.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency or pursuant to Section 3.4, then the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated or the restrictions under Section 3.4 are lifted, and (ii) with respect to such stop order or injunction, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elects to continue with such Registration and accordingly notifies the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receiving notice that such stop order or injunction has been removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated, unless the Demand Registration is effected pursuant to a Shelf or Form S-3.
 
2.1.3 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4, subsection 2.1.6 and Section 2.4 hereof, if the Demanding Holder or Holders so elect and such Demanding Holder or Holders advise the Company as part of its Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. Such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.3, shall select the Underwriters(s) of such Underwritten Offering and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.
 
2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or Shelf Underwriting Request, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that such Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other shareholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that 
4

can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each such Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have collectively requested be included in such Underwritten Registration) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
 
2.1.5 Demand Registration Withdrawal. Any Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder shall have the right in their sole discretion to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior (x) in the case of a Demand Registration not involving an Underwritten Offering, to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration or (y) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that upon withdrawal by a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders after initiating a Demand Registration or Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or complete the Underwritten Offering, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.
 
2.1.6 Shelf Registration. Upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company shall file promptly after becoming eligible to use Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter and no later than the earlier of (x) the 45th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the filing date and (y) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, which shall be on Form S-3 if the Company is then eligible to use Form S-3 or otherwise on Form S-1 (the “Shelf”) covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file any Registration Statement for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods that is not legally available to the Company. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective and available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein in the manner desired by such Holders and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities, subject in each case to the provisions of this Agreement that permit the Company to suspend the use of the Registration Statement in the circumstances, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in those provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Shelf under this subsection 2.1.6, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, such Holder or Holders shall not have rights to make a Demand Registration with respect to subsection 2.1.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Shelf under this subsection 2.1.6, covering a Holder’s or such Holders’ Registrable Securities, and such Holder or Holders qualify as Demanding Holders pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and wish to request an Underwritten Offering from such Shelf (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”), such Underwritten Offering shall follow the procedures of subsection 2.1 (including subsection 2.1.3 and subsection 2.1.4), but such Underwritten Offering (including, for purposes of clarity, any Underwritten Block Trade) shall be made from the Shelf and, if such Underwritten Offering is completed in accordance with its terms, shall count against the number of Demand Registrations that may be made pursuant to subsection 2.1.1, subject to subsection 2.1.2; provided that, in the event that the Underwritten Offering is being made from a Shelf, (i) the period of time for the Company to notify all other Holders of Registrable Securities of the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration shall be reduced from ten (10) days (as set forth in 
5

subsection 2.1.1) to two (2) Business Days and (ii) the period of time that the Holders have to respond to such notice shall be reduced from five (5) Business Days (as set forth in subsection 2.1.1) to three (3) Business Days. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar underwritten transaction with a two (2) day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Shelf, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for herein, such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade; provided, however, that the Demanding Holder requesting such Underwritten Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company beginning at least ten (10) days prior to notifying the Company of its request for an Underwritten Block Trade in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement (if applicable), prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II, the Company shall notify each Holder in writing (which may be by email) of the information reasonably necessary about the Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent the Company has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested agreements or certificates, on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II.
 
2.2 Piggyback Registration.
  
2.2.1 Piggyback Rights.

Subject to subsection 2.2.2, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.

The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.
 
2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting Request effected under subsection 2.1.6.
 
2.3 Registrations on Form S-3. Upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Holders of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, to the extent that their Registrable Securities are not covered by an effective Shelf, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”). Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than fourteen (14) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of 
7

Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Form S-3 under this subsection 2.3, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, such Holder or Holders shall not have rights to make a Demand Registration with respect to subsection 2.1.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there is an effective Form S-3 under this section 2.3, covering a Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities, and such Holder or Holders qualify as Demanding Holders pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and wish to request a Shelf Underwriting Request, such Underwritten Offering shall follow the procedures of subsection 2.1.6, but such Underwritten Offering shall be made from the Form S-3 and, if such Underwritten Offering is completed in accordance with its terms, shall count against the number of Demand Registrations that may be made pursuant to subsection 2.1.1, subject to subsection 2.1.2.
 

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders that it is invoking its rights pursuant to this Section 2.4 prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 or a Shelf Underwriting Request pursuant to subsection 2.1.6 and provided further it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective, then the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days (or such shorter “lock-up” period as the Company may agree with the Underwriters of the applicable offering) after the effective date of a Company-initiated Registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or promptly upon filing, with respect to any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus (unless such document is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system)), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus. The Company shall not include the name of any Holder or any information regarding any Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder and providing each such Holder or its counsel a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law or the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause the Prospectus to 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 (it being understood and agreed that (a) if the Company complies with its obligations under this sentence and a Holder does not provide the applicable prior written consent, the omission of such Holder and its Registrable Securities from any such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not be deemed a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement and (b) the Company will not be obligated to obtain a prior written consent with respect to the name of any Holder or any information regarding such Holder that such Holder has previously consented to for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus with respect to any subsequent filing containing the same or substantially similar information);
 
3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement 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, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;
 
3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus contained therein, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;
 
3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants (and the independent registered public accountants of any entity whose financial statements are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus) in the event of an Underwritten Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters 
9

as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;
 
3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;
 
3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement and lock-up agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;
 
3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);
 
3.1.15 if the Registration involves an Underwritten Offering involving gross proceeds in excess of $10,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter thereof; and
 
3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by, the participating Holders in connection with such Registration.
 
3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations and Underwritten Offerings shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
 
3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 
3.4 Suspension of Registration and Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders but not the reason therefor, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) consecutive days or sixty (60) days in any rolling 12-month period, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Holders apprised of the estimated length of the anticipated delay, use its reasonable best efforts to limit the length of any delay and immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.
 
3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to use its best efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings (it being understood that the availability of such filings 
10

on the Commission’s EDGAR system shall satisfy this requirement). The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any reasonably requested legal opinions. 
 
 
 
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
 
4.1 Indemnification.
 
4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and agents and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holders.
 
4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company. 
 
4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement 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.
 
4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. 
 
11

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the 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 to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
