The Company shall notify the Investors in writing by telecopy or e-mail notice that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission on the date of such declaration by the Commission. The Company agrees to keep such Registration Statement effective until the earlier of: (i) the passage of two years from the effective date of such Registration Statement; or (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities may be resold by A-2 the Investors by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. (b) Registration Default. If the Registration Statement covering the -------------------- Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) is not (i) filed with the Commission by the Filing Deadline, or (ii) declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Deadline (either of which, without duplication, an "Initial Date"), then the Company shall make the payments to the Investors as provided in the next sentence as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The amount to be paid by the Company to the Investors shall be determined as of each Computation Date (as defined below), and such amount shall be equal to 2.5% (the "Liquidated Damage Rate") of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) for the period from the Initial Date to the first Computation Date, and for each 30-day period of any subsequent Computation Dates thereafter, calculated on a pro rata basis to the date on which the Registration Statement is filed with (in the event of an Initial Date pursuant to clause (i) above) or declared effective by (in the event of an Initial Date pursuant to clause (ii) above) the Commission (the "Periodic Amount") provided, however, that in no event shall the liquidated damages be less than $25,000. The full Periodic Amount shall be paid by the Company to the Investors, pro rata, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three days after each Computation Date. As used in this Section 2(b), "Computation Date" means the date which is 30 days after the Initial Date and, if the Registration Statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) has not theretofore been declared effective by the Commission, each date which is 30 days after the previous Computation Date until such Registration Statement is so declared effective. Notwithstanding the above, if the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not filed with the Commission by the Filing Deadline, the Company shall be in default of the terms of this Appendix I, and the Investors shall be entitled to damages as set forth above and any other damages permitted by law. (c) Piggyback Registration Rights. (i) Until such date as the ----------------------------- Registration Statement to be filed in accordance with Section 2(a) is declared effective by the Commission, if the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock or any other shares of common stock of the Company under the Securities Act (other than a registration (A) on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor or similar forms, (B) relating to Common Stock or any other shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of employee or consultant share options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or (C) in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person or any transaction with respect to which Rule 145 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act applies), whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time, give prompt written notice at least 20 days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to the Investors, which notice shall set forth such Investors' rights under this Section 2(c) and shall offer the Investors the opportunity to include in such registration statement such number of Registrable Securities as the Investors may request. Upon the written request of an Investor made within 10 days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Investors), the Company will use its A-3 best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Investors, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities to be so registered; provided, however, that (A) if such registration involves a Public Offering, the Investors must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(c) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such Registrable Securities, the Company shall give written notice to the Investors and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. The Company's obligations under this Section 2(c) shall terminate on the date that the registration statement to be filed in accordance with Section 2(a) is declared effective by the Commission. (ii) If a registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) involves a Public Offering and the managing underwriter thereof advises the Company that, in its view, the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, or other shares of Common Stock that the Company and the Investors intend to include in such registration exceeds the largest number of shares of Common Stock (including any other shares of Common Stock or warrants of the Company) that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such Public Offering (the "Maximum Offering Size"), the Company will include in such registration only that number of shares of Common Stock which does not exceed the Maximum Offering Size, in the following order of priorities: (1) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, (2) second, up to the full number of securities proposed to be registered for the account of the holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in the Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights, and (3) third, the securities requested to be registered by other holders of securities entitled to participate in the registration, drawn from them pro-rata based on the number of shares each has requested to be included in such registration and the Investors pursuant to this Appendix I. If as a result of the proration provisions of this Section 2(c)(ii), the Investors are not entitled to include all such Registrable Securities in such registration, such Investors may elect to withdraw their request to include any Registrable Securities in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligations under this Section 2(c) hereof at any time that such Registrable Securities are the subject of an effective registration statement. 3. Obligations of the Company. In connection with the registration of the -------------------------- Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(r) hereof, promptly (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) to the Registration Statement and supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable thereto so as to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be current and useable by Investors for resales of the Registrable Securities for a period of two years from the date the Registration Statement is first declared effective by the Commission (the "Effective Time") or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by the A-4 Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto in accordance with the plan of distribution provided in the Prospectus, transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise transferred in a manner that results in the delivery of new securities not subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act (the "Registration Period") and (ii) take all lawful action such that each of (A) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, 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 and (B) the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, does not at any time during the Registration Period include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate as to any investor at such time as that Investor's Registrable Securities can be sold under Rule 144(k); (b) During the Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investors as set forth in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement; (c) (i) Prior to the filing with the Commission of any Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of any Prospectus (including any supplements thereto), provide draft copies thereof (including a copy of the accountant's consent letter to be included in the filing) to Stonegate Securities, Inc. ("Stonegate") and reflect in such documents all such comments as Stonegate reasonably may propose; and (ii) furnish to Stonegate for delivery to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement, (A) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the Commission, or received by the Company, one copy of the Registration Statement, each Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, and (B) such number of copies of the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents, as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; (d) (i) Register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or "blue sky" laws of all jurisdictions requiring blue sky registration or qualification, (ii) prepare and file in such jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof at all times during the Registration Period, (iii) take all such other lawful actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all such other lawful actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (A) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (B) subject itself to general A-5 taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction; (e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Investor of the occurrence of any event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare an amendment to the Registration Statement and supplement to the Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement and amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request; (f) Notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on the date of receipt of any such stop order or other suspension, and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, recession or removal of such stop order or other suspension; (g) Cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on the principal national securities exchange, and included in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, on or in which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or included; (h) Maintain a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; (i) Cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the registration statement and enable such certificates for the Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors reasonably may request and registered in such names as the Investor may request; and, within three business days after a registration statement which includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission, deliver and cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such registration statement) an appropriate instruction and, to the extent necessary, an opinion of such counsel; (j) Take all such other lawful actions reasonably necessary to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the Investors of their Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods therefor provided in the Prospectus which are customary under the circumstances; (k) Make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than three (3) months after (i) the effective date (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement, and (ii) the effective date of each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, as the case may be, an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules A-6 and regulations of the Commission thereunder (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158); (l) In the event of an underwritten offering, promptly include or incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the managers reasonably agree should be included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably object and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after it is notified of the matters to be included or incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; (m) In connection with any underwritten offering, make such representations and warranties to the Investors participating in such underwritten offering and to the managers, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by the Company to underwriters in secondary underwritten offerings; (n) In connection with any underwritten offering, obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managers) addressed to the underwriters, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in secondary underwritten offerings (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinions shall include, without limitation, as of the date of the opinion and as of the date the Registration Statement is first declared effective or most recent post- effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence from the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including any documents incorporated by reference therein, of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, subject to customary limitations); (o) In connection with any underwritten offering, obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, from the independent public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company, in each case for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each underwriter participating in such underwritten offering (if such underwriter has provided such letter, representations or documentation, if any, required for such cold comfort letter to be so addressed), in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters in connection with secondary underwritten offerings; (p) In connection with any underwritten offering, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably required by the managers, if any; and (q) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall be an "Affiliate" (as defined in Rule 2729(b)(1) of the rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD Rules") (or any successor provision thereto)) of the Company or has a "conflict of interest" (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(7) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) and such broker-dealer shall underwrite, participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or assist in the distribution of any A-7 Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, whether as a holder of such Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of the NASD Rules, including, without limitation, by (A) engaging a "qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(15) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereof and to recommend the public offering price of such Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof, and (C) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the NASD Rules. (r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3, at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company (a "Grace Period"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing in advance of, or on the same date on which, the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that during any consecutive 365 day period, there shall be only two Grace Periods, such Grace Periods in total not to exceed 30 days. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the holders receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the date specified as the Grace Period ending date in the notice referred to in clause (ii). If at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Company delays disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, other than during a permitted Grace Period as described above, the Company shall make payments to the Investors as provided in the next sentence as liquidated damages intended by the parties to compensate the Investors in part for the incremental costs and investment risks associated with holding the Registrable Securities as restricted securities and not as a penalty. The amount of payments shall be calculated at the Liquidated Damage Rate of the Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) (including its provision of a minimum amount of $25,000), and the timing of payments shall also be determined in accordance with Section 2(b). For the purposes of such calculations and determinations of the amount and timing of payments: (i) the Initial Date shall mean the first date that the Company delays disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company other than during a permitted Grace Period and (ii) the Computation Date shall mean the date that is 30 days after the Initial Date and each date that is 30 days after the previous Computation Date until such period of delay has ceased and the Company has provided notice to the Investors of the end of such period in accordance with the provisions of this section above. Nothing herein shall limit the rights of any Investor to pursue actual damages for the Investor's inability to sell any of the Registrable Securities into the public market for any reason described in this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligations under Section 3(l) through (q) unless it is effecting an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(c). A-8 4. Obligations of the Investors. In connection with the registration of the ---------------------------- Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations, which obligations shall be several and not joint: (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Appendix I with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least ten business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor and its counsel, whether in-house or otherwise ("Counsel") of the information the Company requires from each such Investor (the "Requested Information") if such Investor elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. If at least four business days prior to the anticipated filing date the Company has not received the Requested Information from an Investor (a "Non-Responsive Investor") or its Counsel, then the Company shall send such Non-Responsive Investor and its Counsel a reminder of such information request. If at least two business days prior to the anticipated filing date the Company still has not received the Requested Information from such Non-Responsive Investor or its Counsel, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such Non-Responsive Investor. However, promptly upon receipt of the Requested Information, and at the expense of the Non-Responsive Investor, the Company shall file such amendment(s) to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to include therein the Registrable Securities of the Non- Responsive Investor. (b) Each Investor by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement; the Company shall, on its part, ensure that Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act (regarding information on the selling security holders) be complied with in connection with its preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder; (c) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Company of the occurrence of any event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (d) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), it shall immediately discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or A-9 destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 5. Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts ------------------------ and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees, accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees, not to exceed $5,000.00, of one firm of counsel to the holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities shall be borne by the Company. 6. Indemnification and Contribution. -------------------------------- (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each underwriter, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers and directors and each person who controls such Investor or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or an omission or alleged omission from, such Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (ii) in the case of the occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(e), the use by the Indemnified Person of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has provided to such Indemnified Person written notice that such Prospectus is outdated or defective. (b) Indemnification by the Investors and Underwriters. Each Investor ------------------------------------------------- agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of its Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, and each underwriter, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities shall agree, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Registrable Securities, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as a director nominee of the Company), its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of A-10 either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the Prospectus), not misleading, 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder or underwriter expressly for use therein; provided, however, that no Investor or underwriter shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for any amount in excess of the gross proceeds paid to such Investor or underwriter in respect of shares sold by it, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. (c) Notice of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a party seeking --------------------- indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 (an "Indemnified Party") of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of A-11 the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 ------------ is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party 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 of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors or any underwriters 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 Section 6(d). 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 shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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.
