     (e) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other applicable securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus Supplement reasonably requests as may be necessary for the marketability of the Registrable Securities and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (e), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

     (f) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event which comes to the Company’s attention if as a result of such event any of the Registration Documents contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and furnish to each Holder and, if applicable, file with the Commission under the Securities Act, an amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement, as applicable, to such documents, or prepare and file appropriate reports under the Exchange Act, so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, the Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to

make the statements therein not misleading, except during the pendency of a Blackout Period, in which case no amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement need be furnished or Exchange Act filing made until the termination of the Blackout Period;

     (g) comply, and continue to comply during the period that the Registration Documents are effective under the Securities Act, in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus Supplement, and generally make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first full calendar month after the Prospectus Supplement Filing Date, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

     (h) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities being offered or sold pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness, or any proceedings that propose any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness, of any of the Registration Documents at the earliest possible time;

     (k) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement to issue and deliver to purchasers of any such Registrable Securities, Common Shares not bearing any restrictive legends in such amounts as the Holders may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Holders may request; and

     (l) during the Effectiveness Period, refrain from bidding for or purchasing any Common Shares or any right to purchase Common Shares or attempting to induce any Person to purchase any such security or right if such bid, purchase or attempt would in any way limit the right of the Holders to sell Registrable Securities by reason of the limitations set forth in Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

     5. Suspension of Offers and Sales. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(f) or 4(h), or of the commencement of a Blackout Period, such Holder shall discontinue and suspend any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Documents covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(f) hereof, notice that any event described in Section 4(h) has been lifted, or notice of the end of the Blackout

Period, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies (including, without limitation, any and all drafts), other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession, of the Registration Documents covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

     6. Registration Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 7, the Company shall pay all expenses in connection with its performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and any registration of the Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and stock exchange fees, all printing and related expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of its independent accountants. Except as provided above in this Section 6 and Section 9, the Company shall not be responsible for the expenses of any attorney or other advisor employed by a Holder of Registrable Securities.

     7. Assignment of Rights. No Holder may assign its rights under this Agreement to any party without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that a Holder may assign its rights under this Agreement without such prior written consent to a Permitted Assignee as long as (a) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, upon request of the transferring Holder and its Permitted Assignee (and after receiving such transfer notice, joinder and the information required by this Section 7 and Section 8 as to the Permitted Transferee), file an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus Supplement to provide for the resale of Registrable Securities by such Permitted Assignees and shall bear any and all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the first two amendments or supplements so requested by each such Holder and its Permitted Transferees; provided that, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, a Holder shall pay any and all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any subsequent amendments or supplements so requested by each such Holder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants, and other representatives incurred in connection therein.

     8. Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any Prospectus Supplement shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request. No Holder of Registrable Securities will be entitled to have such Registrable Securities included in the Prospectus Supplement if such Holder does not furnish the information requested by the Company. Each Holder agrees that the name and address of such Holder as it is to be listed in the Prospectus Supplement, and the number of Registrable Securities of such Holder to be included in the Prospectus Supplement, is accurately set forth on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.

     9. Indemnification.

          (a) In the event of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities held by Holders under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, each Holder’s directors, officers, partners and equityholders, each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of the Registrable Securities, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with each Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any Holder or any such director, officer, partner, equityholder or underwriter or controlling or controlled person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or state securities laws and regulations, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus), or any amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including the Prospectus Supplement, or 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 any prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws and regulations, and the Company shall reimburse each Holder, and each such director, officer, partner, equityholder, underwriter and controlling or controlled person, for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (x) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from the Shelf Registration Statement, any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus), or any amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including the Prospectus Supplement, was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of a Holder specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation therefor or (y) such Holder’s failure to comply with the terms of the plan of distribution mechanics described in the applicable prospectus, or (ii) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of the most current Prospectus at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person because of the failure of a Holder or underwriter to so provide the most current Prospectus and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such Prospectus was corrected in the most current Prospectus Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, or any such director, officer, partner, equityholder, underwriter or controlling or controlled person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by a Holder.

          (b) As a condition to including any Registrable Securities to be offered by a Holder in the Prospectus Supplement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 9 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent, or controlling or controlled person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or state securities laws and regulations, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus), or any amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including the Prospectus Supplement, or 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 any prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Holder specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation therefor, (ii) any violation or alleged violation of such Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws and regulations, or (iii) such Holder’s failure to comply with the terms of the plan of distribution mechanics described in the applicable prospectus, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and each such director, officer, employee, agent and controlling or controlled person, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that such indemnity found in this Section 9(b) shall in no event exceed the gross proceeds from any offering received by such Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling or controlled person and shall survive the transfer by any Holder of such shares.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 9(a) or (b) hereof (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under
Section 9(a) or (b) hereof, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses,

other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. Neither an indemnified nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.

          (d) In the event that an indemnifying party does not assume or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to
Section 9(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Section 9(a) and (b), the indemnification required by Section 9(a) and (b) hereof shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred.

          (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (i) as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (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 the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, as is appropriate to reflect not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that each Holder shall not be liable for any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in an amount greater than such Holder received as gross proceeds from the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (f) Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding subsections of this Section 9 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

     10. Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, during the Effectiveness Period, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts (a) to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (including the reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder), (b) if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Holders to sell Common Shares under Rule 144, and (c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company if not otherwise publicly available on EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission that permits the selling of any such securities without registration, as may be necessary and all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Common Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including causing its attorneys to issue and deliver any appropriate legal opinion required to permit a Holder to sell Common Shares under Rule 144 upon receipt of appropriate documentation relating to such sale.

     11. Independent Nature of each Shareholder’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Shareholder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Shareholder, and each Shareholder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Shareholder under this Agreement. The decision of each Shareholder to acquire Common Shares and enter into this Agreement has been made by each Shareholder independently of any other Shareholder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Shareholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Shareholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Shareholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Shareholder acknowledges that no other Shareholder has acted as agent for the Shareholder in connection with making its investment in Common Shares and that no other Shareholder will be acting as agent of the Shareholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the Common Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Shareholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

     12. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. Any judicial proceeding brought against any of

the parties to this Agreement or any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought in the courts of the State of Texas, City of Houston, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties to this Agreement.

          (b) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, Permitted Assignees, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. In the event the Company merges with, or is otherwise acquired by, a direct or indirect subsidiary of a publicly traded company, the Company shall condition the merger or acquisition on the assumption by such parent or successor company of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
