The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriter and the Selling Stockholder and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to which the Underwriter or the Selling Stockholder or any such control person may become subject arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in either of the Registration Statements (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, if applicable, or the omission 18 or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to (1) any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statements (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or (2) any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the IR Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, or the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities or the base prospectus contained in the IR Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and provided further that the indemnity agreement, with respect to the Underwriter and its related control persons, contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from the fact that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a determination that the untrue statement or omission shall have been corrected in the Prospectus and a copy of the Prospectus was delivered to the Underwriter in accordance with the terms hereof and was not sent or given to such person by the Underwriter as required and within the time required by the 1933 Act. Insofar as this indemnity agreement may permit indemnification for liabilities under the 1933 Act of any person who is a partner of the Underwriter or the Selling Stockholder or who controls the Underwriter or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and who, at the date of this Agreement, is a director or officer of the Company or controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or 19 Section 20 of the 1934 Act, such indemnity agreement is subject to the undertaking of the Company in the Registration Statements under Item 17. (b) Indemnification of the Company, the Selling Stockholder, Directors and Officers by the Underwriter. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder, their respective directors, each of the Company's officers who signed the Registration Statements, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever to which the Company or the Selling Stockholder may become subject as described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in either of the Registration Statements (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), but only to the extent made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use in either of the Registration Statements (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). (c) Indemnification of the Company, the Underwriter, Directors and Officers by the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Underwriter, their respective directors, each of the Company's officers who signed the IR Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever to which such person may become subject as described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the IR Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities or the base prospectus contained in the IR Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the IR Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities or the base prospectus contained in the IR Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that the Selling Stockholder shall not be liable for any amounts exceeding the product of the purchase price per share of the Securities (not including discounts or commissions but before expenses), as set forth in Schedule A hereto, and the number of IR Shares. (d) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any actiand inon commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder unless and only to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(c) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Underwriter and, if the Company is an indemnified party, the Company, and in 20 the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim 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 any indemnified party. (e) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided that an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any such settlement effected without its consent if such indemnifying party, prior to the date of such settlement, (1) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request for the amount of such fees and expenses of counsel as the indemnifying party believes in good faith to be reasonable, and (2) provides written notice to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party disputes in good faith the reasonableness of the unpaid balance of such fees and expenses. (f) Acknowledgement. The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriter agree that, as regards indemnification between the Company and the Selling Stockholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, and in the event of any conflict between this Section 6 and Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement the provisions of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall control. Section 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand, and the Underwriter on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement 21 or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand, and of the Underwriter on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholder on the one hand or by the Underwriter on the other hand and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each director of the Company or the Selling Stockholder, 22 each officer of the Company who signed either of the Registration Statements, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as applicable. The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling Stockholder with respect to contribution, including the agreement in the Registration Rights Agreement. Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or the Selling Stockholder submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto or any controlling person, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriter. Section 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) Termination; General. The Underwriter may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriter, impracticable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or The New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
