(b)

Each Potential Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, managers, members, investment managers, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and any related expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise directly out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement, any free writing prospectus, 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 statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Selling Shareholder Information provided by such Potential Shareholder; provided that (i) each Potential Shareholder shall be liable for only up to the amount of net proceeds actually received by such Potential Shareholder (after deducting Selling Expenses) as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation; provided further that (ii) no Potential Shareholder shall be liable to any such indemnified party in any such case to the extent that such claim is related to (A) Selling Shareholder Information after such Selling Shareholder provided an update to such Selling Shareholder Information to the Company (1) prior to the date on which the Company requested that the Resale Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC and the Company did not revise the Resale Registration Statement with such updated Selling Shareholder Information through filing a pre-effective amendment with the SEC or otherwise correcting such information in the Resale Registration Statement before it was declared effective, or (2) after the Resale Registration Statement became effective and the Company did not use commercially reasonable efforts to file an amendment or other supplement to the Resale Registration Statement with the SEC that would incorporate such updated Selling Shareholder Information; (B) Selling Shareholder Information after the Selling Shareholder provided the notice contemplated by Section 2(b)(ii) and the Company did not take the actions set forth in Section 2(c); and (C) the use by the Company of an outdated or defective prospectus to sell the Registrable Securities.

(c)

Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder 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 prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless, in the Company’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. After written notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement subsequently 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 (in addition to one local legal counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Company, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which case the indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional counsel (in addition to one local legal counsel) with respect to the indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a full release from all liability with respect to such claim and does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d)

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, partner, manager, member, investment manager, employee, agent, representative or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities to which the indemnifying party may be subject pursuant to the law.

 

(e)

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or the indemnified party, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Potential Shareholders holding Registrable Securities or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as a single entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 5(e) shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(e), (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (ii) contribution by each Potential Shareholder shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such Potential Shareholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Resale Registration Statement, less the amount of any damages that such Potential Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay in connection with such sale pursuant to this Agreement.

6.

Registration Default. The Company agrees to pay in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by each Potential Shareholder within five (5) days following the failure by the Company to file a Resale Registration Statement with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (“Registration Default”), commencing on the day following the expiration of the Filing Deadline, a default fee of (a) for the first 30-day period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, US$20,000 per day, (b) for the second 30-day period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, US$25,000 per day, (c) for the third 30-day period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, US$30,000 per day, and (d) for the fourth 30-day period and thereafter during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, US$40,000 per day, in each case, until a Resale Registration Statement is filed with the SEC (the “Default Fee”). The Default Fee shall be payable to each Potential Shareholder and allocated on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Potential Shareholder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Default Fees shall be payable by the Company if the Registration Default is caused by the failure of a Potential Shareholder to furnish its Selling Shareholder Questionnaire on or prior to the Shareholder Submission Deadline as required by this Agreement.

 

7.

Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Potential Shareholder the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Potential Shareholder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), at all times during which there are Registrable Securities outstanding that have not been previously (a) sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or (b) sold in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(a)(1) thereof, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), in such a manner that, upon the consummation of such sale, all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect to such shares are removed upon the consummation of such sale, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

 

(a)

make and keep “current public information” (within the meaning of Rule 144(c)(1)) available;

 

(b)

furnish to the Potential Shareholders so long as the Potential Shareholders own Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with all conditions set forth in Rule 144(c)(1), including that (i) it has filed all reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months and has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days, and (ii) it has submitted electronically every Interactive Data File required to be submitted pursuant to Regulation S-T Rule 405 during the preceding 12 months; and

 

(c)

in the event that the Company is neither subject to section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, furnish to the Potential Shareholders the information set forth under Section 4(d)(3) of the Securities Act.

 

8.

Preservation of Rights. Without the prior written consent of the Potential Shareholders, the Company shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with or violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the Potential Shareholders in this Agreement, such as (a) adversely affecting the ability of the Potential Shareholders to include the Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) affecting the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration (including effecting a stock split or a combination of shares).
