REGISTRATION RIGHTS
SECTION 2.01.          Shelf Registration.
(a)          Filing.  As soon as reasonably practicable after Signing (as defined in the SPA) and in no event later than two (2) business days following the Second Option Exercise Expiry Date (as defined in the SPA) the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission either (i) if the Existing Registration Statement is available to register secondary shares for resale, a prospectus supplement to the Existing Registration Statement or (ii) if the Existing Registration Statement is not available to register secondary shares for resale, a new Shelf Registration Statement, in either case, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities issued and outstanding as of such date of registration, provided that if Option Consideration Shares are issued after the prospectus supplement to the Existing Registration Statement or the new Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, is filed with the Commission, and such prospectus supplement or new Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, does not include the Option Consideration Shares, then the Company shall  prepare and file with the Commission either (i) if the Existing Registration Statement is available to register secondary shares for resale, a new prospectus supplement to the Existing Registration Statement or (ii) if the Existing Registration Statement is not available to
8


register secondary shares for resale, and a new Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, a prospectus supplement or amendment to the new Shelf Registration Statement, or (iii) if the Shelf Registration Statement referred to in clause (ii) is not available to register secondary shares for resale, a new Shelf Registration Statement, in any case, covering the resale of the Option Consideration Shares promptly following their issuance. The Shelf Registration Statement described in this Section 2.01(a) shall relate to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement (including any plan of distribution that the Trafigura Seller Nominee, reasonably approves prior to the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement) and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (such Registration Statement, together with any Registration Statement to replace such Registration Statement upon expiration thereof, if any, is referred to hereinafter as the “Shelf Registration”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof; provided that if the Shelf Registration filed with the Commission is subject to review by the Commission, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective no later than the date that is the earlier of (x) the ninetieth (90) calendar day after the Shelf Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and (y) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified by the Commission that the Shelf Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any comments from the Commission regarding such Shelf Registration Statement and to advocate with the Commission for the Registration of all Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable Commission rules and regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders (a “Rule 415 Limitation”) or otherwise, such Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of Registrable Securities that is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the Commission and the number of Registrable Securities registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all holders. In the event of a Rule 415 Limitation, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as set forth in this Article II as promptly as practicable, whether by way of amending such Shelf Registration Statement or filing a new Registration Statement. If, at the time of the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company is eligible to use an automatic shelf registration statement, then such Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed as an automatic shelf registration statement, or as a prospectus supplement to an existing Shelf Registration Statement, if available to register secondary shares for resale. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with the Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2.01, whether or not such Shelf Registration becomes effective.
(b)          Continued Effectiveness. Except as provided herein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) the date on which there are no Registrable Securities outstanding and (ii) such shorter period as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding shall agree in writing (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). Subject to Section 2.01(d), the Company shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period
9


for purposes of this Section 2.01(b) if the Company voluntarily and intentionally takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Holders not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless such action or omission is (x) a Shelf Suspension permitted pursuant to Section 2.01(d) or (y) required by applicable law, rule or regulation.
(c)          Certain Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) the Shelf Registration Statement (as of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement), any amendment thereof (as of the effective date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable Commission form requirements and Commission rules and regulations and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable Commission rules and regulations and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein.
(d)          Suspension of Registration. If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or equivalent senior executive officer of the Company stating that the filing (including the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement) or the continued use of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, then the Company may postpone the filing, amendment or supplement (but not the preparation thereof) and/or suspend use, of such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be for more than sixty (60) consecutive days on any one occasion and the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension more than two (2) times, or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days; provided, further, that in the event of a Shelf Suspension, such Shelf Suspension shall terminate at such earlier time as the Company would no longer be required to make any Adverse Disclosure. Each Holder agrees that, upon delivery of any certificate by the Company set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until the Company informs such Holder in accordance with this Section 2.01(d) that the Shelf Suspension has been terminated. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Shelf Suspension is in effect, the certificate referred to above and its contents unless and until otherwise notified by the Company, except (A) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of assisting the Holder with respect to its investment in the Consideration Shares and Option Consideration Shares (as applicable) and agree to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) if and to the extent such matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person
10


that, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (D) as required by law, rule or regulation (and in which case such Holder, to the extent not prohibited by law, shall provide advance written notice of such requirement and the contents of the proposed disclosure to the Company to the extent that it is permitted to do so under applicable law) and (E) for disclosure to any other Holder. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon delivery of the notice referred to above. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain a material misstatement of 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 in which they were made, not misleading and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Registration or by Commission rules and regulations, or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder.
(e)          Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that the Registration Statement or a Prospectus contains 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 not misleading (a “Misstatement”), each Holder of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus that corrects such Misstatement, or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Except during a Shelf Suspension pursuant to Section 2.01(d), the Company shall promptly amend or supplement any such Prospectus (including, if applicable, by filing a report under the Exchange Act) as promptly as possible to remedy any such Misstatement.
SECTION 2.02.          Registration Procedures.
(a)          In connection with the Company’s Registration obligations under Section 2.01 and subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and in connection therewith the Company shall:

(b)          It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Participating Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its ownership and method of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Company or its counsel may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Each Participating Holder agrees to furnish such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
(c)          Each Participating Holder agrees that, upon delivery of any notice by the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.02(a)(iii)(C), (D), or (E) or Section 2.02(a)(iv), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until (i) such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.02(a)(iv), (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, may be resumed or (iii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company of the termination, expiration or cessation of such order or suspension referenced in Section 2.02(a)(iii)(C) or (E). If so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus covering the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities current at the time of delivery of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period during which the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the
14


number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.02(a)(iv) or is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may be resumed.
SECTION 2.03.          Registration Expenses.  All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement and incurred by or on behalf of the Company shall be paid by the Company, including (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the Commission or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing any required certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses and Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audits incidental to or required by any registration), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any Registration, (viii) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (ix) transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of any other agent or trustee appointed by the Company in connection with such offering and (x) any other fees and disbursements customarily paid by the issuers of securities. All such fees and expenses are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.”    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to pay, including among others, any of the fees and expenses of brokers or dealers engaged by any Participating Holder, any fees or expenses relating to the transfer of the Registrable Securities, including any applicable taxes, or any legal fees and expenses or other costs of such Participating Holder.
SECTION 2.04.          Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S.  The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of a Holder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as such Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders, to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the reasonable request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.
SECTION 2.05.          In-Kind Distributions.  If any Holder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Consideration Shares or Option Consideration Shares (as
15


applicable) to its direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will reasonably cooperate with and assist such Holder, such equityholders and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Holder (including the delivery of instruction letters by the Company or its counsel to the Company’s transfer agent, the delivery of customary legal opinions by counsel to the Company and the delivery of Consideration Shares and Option Consideration Shares (as applicable) without restrictive legends, to the extent no longer applicable).
SECTION 2.06.          Restrictive Legend.  The Holder understands that, until such time as the Registration Statement becomes effective or the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restrictions, the Registrable Securities shall be evidenced by certificates or by book-entry accounts maintained by the Company’s transfer agent and shall bear restrictive legends in substantially the following forms (such a restrictive legend, a “Restrictive Legend”) which shall only be removed pursuant to the terms of the SPA:
“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS ENTRY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, LOANED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”
The Company agrees to promptly remove or cause the Transfer Agent to remove, with the cooperation of the Holder and if applicable the Escrow Agent (as defined in the SPA), not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Restrictive Legend from the Registrable Securities upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date in connection with a valid sale, transfer or other disposition pursuant to (x) an effective Registration Statement or (y) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) such date that all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction, including the volume, manner of sale requirements and current public information requirements, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrable Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and the Restrictive Legend and the stop transfer order may not be removed during the Lock-up Period (as defined in the SPA); and provided further that the Holder shall provide the Company with (a) such information and documentation reasonably requested in connection with such Restrictive Legend removal no later than the trade date and (b) in the case of (i)(y) above, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that the Restrictive Legends may be removed in connection with such transactions or otherwise; provided that no such opinion shall be required to sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Consideration Shares and/or the Option Consideration Shares (as applicable) to any member
16


of the Seller Group (as defined in the SPA) unless such opinion is required by the Transfer Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities, in the event that the Holder requests the Company to remove the Restrictive Legend from a specified number of Registrable Securities that the Holder has a bona fide intention of selling within a 30-day period, the Company shall promptly, and in no event later than the second Business Day after receipt of such notice in the agreed form, provide any legal opinion or other documentation reasonably requested by the Transfer Agent required to remove the Restrictive Legend from such specified number of Registrable Securities on the basis that the Registrable Securities to be sold are covered by an effective Registration Statement.
ARTICLE III

INDEMNITY
SECTION 3.01.          Indemnification.
(a)          Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Holders, each of their respective partners, members or shareholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or shareholder’s partners, members or shareholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, officers, trustees or agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Shareholder Parties”) from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs and expenses of investigation and attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) insofar as such Losses arise out of or are relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, which shall include any information that has been deemed to be a part of any Prospectus under Rule 159 under the Securities Act), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such registration, qualification, compliance or sale of Registrable Securities or (iv) any failure to register or qualify Registrable Securities in any state where the Company or its agents have affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on behalf of the Holders of such Registrable Securities (provided that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has undertaken its reasonable best efforts to so register or qualify such Registrable Securities). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any Shareholder Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.
17


(b)          Indemnification by the Participating Holders. Each Participating Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), and each other Holder, each of such other Holder’s respective direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or shareholder’s partners, members or shareholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, officers, trustees or agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such Participating Holder’s Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, which shall include any information that has been deemed to be a part of any Prospectus under Rule 159 under the Securities Act) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Participating Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, any written information provided for inclusion in the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(i)) that has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim, 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 such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.
(c)          Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.01 shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after delivery of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (C) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (D) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party (based upon advice of its counsel), an actual or potential conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with
18


respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, in each case without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, unless the entry of such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability of such indemnified party in respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party, and provided that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the indemnifying party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 3.01, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time with respect to all indemnified parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties, or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.
(d)          Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.01 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a result of any limitations set forth in the express terms of this Section 3.01), including as a result of an order by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with the Registration Statement filed with the Commission by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any 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 or by the 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 or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 3.01(d). 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. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections
19


3.01(a) and 3.01(b) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any 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 3.01(d), in connection with the Registration Statement filed by the Company, a Participating Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amount paid by such Holders pursuant to Section 3.01(b). Each Participating Shareholder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.01 is several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Participating Shareholder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all such Participating Shareholders and not joint. If indemnification is available under this Section 3.01, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 3.01(a) and 3.01(b) hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 3.01(d).
(e)         No Exclusivity. The remedies provided for in this Section 3.01 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity or pursuant to any other agreement.
(f)          Survival. The indemnities provided in this Section 3.01 shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by such Holder.
ARTICLE IV
