In addition, the Holder shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the occurrence, from the date on which such information or documents are furnished to the date of the closing for the sale of any such Registrable Securities, of any event relating to the Holder that is required under the Securities Act to be set forth in the Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities.

The Holder receiving a Disclosure Notice hereby agrees that it will cease using any Prospectus, other than permanent file copies, then in the Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectus. The Holder further agrees with the Company to hold the fact that it has received any Disclosure Notice, and any communication from the Company to the Holder relating to an event giving rise to a such notice, in confidence.

Section 2.5     Indemnification.

 

(a)     In the event of an offering of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, the Holder’s directors and officers, and each underwriter, pursuant to the applicable underwriting agreement with such underwriter, of Registrable Securities thereunder and each Person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors and officers, and each agent of the Holder (including legal counsel and accountants), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which the Holder, director, officer, underwriter, controlling Person or agent may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (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 any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) the 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the indemnifying party of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and shall reimburse the Holder, its directors and officers, such underwriter, such controlling Person or agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings as any such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission or violation or alleged violation made in connection with any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of the Holder, its directors or officers, any underwriter, controlling Person or agent; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b)     The Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company’s directors and officers, underwriters and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, directors and officers of such controlling Person, and each agent of the Company (including legal counsel and accountants) against any Losses, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director, officer, underwriter, controlling Person or agent may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (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 any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) the 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the indemnifying party of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission or violation or alleged violation was made in connection with any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereof, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of the Holder, and shall reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, underwriter, controlling Person or agent with investigating or defending any such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

(c)     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake 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 and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.5 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that the interests of the indemnified party materially conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.   No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the indemnified parties with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.   The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified parties under this Section 2.5, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the indemnifying party is actively conducting a diligent good faith defense of an action brought against an indemnified party with respect to which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, no indemnified party shall settle any such action brought against it with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the written consent of the indemnifying party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, the indemnifying party.

(d)     The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses 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 any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. 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.

 

Section 2.6     Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. Without the Company’s written consent, the rights of the Holders under this Article II may not be transferred or assigned by the Holder to any other Person.

Section 2.7     Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holder to sell Shares to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor form), the Company shall:

 

(a)     make and keep public information current and available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the date hereof until the earlier of (x) six (6) months after such date as such Shares may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect and (y) such date as such Shares shall have been resold;

 

(b)     use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

 

(c)     furnish to the Holder so long as the Holder owns Shares, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the SEC, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC as the Holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Shares without registration.
