based upon specific finding of fact as to the Placement Agent or such
indemnified person's gross negligence or willful misfeasance will be promptly

become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and Regulations, or
any other federal or state law or regulation, common law or otherwise, arising
out of or based upon (i) the conduct of the Placement Agent or its officers,
employees or representatives in willful violation of any of such laws and
regulations while acting as Placement Agent for the Offering or (ii) the
material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by
the Placement Agent in this Agreement (iii) any false or misleading information
provided to the Company by one of the Placement Agent's indemnified persons.
C. The Investor hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Placement

and Regulations, or any other federal or state law or regulation, common law or

Offering or (ii) the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement made by the Investor in the Offering Materials (iii) any false or
misleading information provided to the Placement Agent by the Investor or one of
the Investor's indemnified persons.
D. The Placement Agent hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the
Investor and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative of
the Investor, and each person controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20
of the 1934 Act or the Rules and Regulations, harmless from and against any and
all loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, any and all reasonable legal fees and other expenses and
disbursements incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or
defending any action, suit or proceeding, including any inquiry or
investigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing
or preparing for appearance as a witness in any action, suit or proceeding,
including any inquiry, investigation or pretrial proceeding such as a
deposition) to which the Investor or such indemnified person of the Investor may
become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and Regulations, or
any other federal or state law or regulation, common law or otherwise, arising
out of or based upon (i) the conduct of the Placement Agent or its officers,
employees or representatives in willful violation of any of such laws and
regulations while acting as the Placement Agent for the Offering or (ii) the
material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by
the Placement Agent in this Agreement (iii) any false or misleading information
provided to the Investor by one of the Placement Agent's indemnified persons.
E. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of commencement
of any action covered by Section 6(A), (B), (C) or (D), the party to be
indemnified shall, within five (5) business days, notify the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof; the omission by one (1) indemnified party to so
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligation to indemnify any other indemnified party that has given such notice
and shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability outside of this
indemnification if not materially prejudiced thereby. In the event that any
action is brought against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may desire, to assume and
control the defense thereof with counsel chosen by it which is reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under such
Section 6(A), (B), (C), or (D) for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, but
the indemnified party may, at its own expense, participate in such defense by
counsel chosen by it, without, however, impairing the indemnifying party's
control of the defense. Subject to the proviso of this sentence and
notwithstanding any other statement to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to choose its or their own
counsel and control the defense of any action, all at the expense of the
indemnifying party if, (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense
of such action at the expense of the indemnifying party, or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such
indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those
available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the
indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events
such fees and expenses of one additional counsel shall be borne by the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstance, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No
settlement of any action or proceeding against an indemnified party shall be
made without the consent of the indemnifying party.
F. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances
in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is due in accordance with
its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable on grounds of
policy or otherwise, the Company and the Placement Agent and the Investor shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation
or defense of same) which the other may incur in such proportion so that the
Company, the Placement Agent and the Investor shall be responsible for such
percent of the aggregate of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities as
shall equal the percentage of the gross proceeds paid to each of them.;
provided, however, that 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 6(F), any person controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Placement Agent, or any partner, director, officer,
employee, representative or any agent of any thereof, shall have the same rights
to contribution as the Placement Agent and each person controlling, controlled
by or under common control with the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each officer of the Company and
each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company and each person controlling, controlled by or under common control with
the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of
the 1934 Act and each member of the general partner of the Investor shall have
the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to
contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for
contribution may be made against the other party under this Section 6(F), notify
such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify
such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from
any obligation they may have hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom
contribution may be sought is not materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of any indemnified person or any termination of this Agreement.
7. FEES. The Company hereby agrees to pay the Placement Agent 1% for the
gross proceeds from each Put with a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000)
upon the execution of this Agreement.
8. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company hereby agrees to bear all of the
expenses in connection with the Offering, including, but not limited to the

registrar and transfer agent fees, and expenses, fees of the Company's counsel
and accountants, issue and transfer taxes, if any. The Company agrees to bear
all the reasonable expenses of the Placement Agent in performing its services
under this Agreement including but not limited to the fees and expenses of
counsel.

Investor or its counsel. The obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder shall
