5. CERTAIN COVENANTS.

(a) Transfer Restrictions. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Preferred Shares and the Warrant have not been and are not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act or any state securities laws and, except as provided in Section 8, the Common Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and that the Preferred Shares and the Warrant and the Common Shares may not be transferred unless the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the Preferred Shares, the Warrant or the Common Shares to be transferred may be transferred without such registration or unless transferred in accordance with Rule 144A to a QIB; (2) no sale, assignment or other transfer of the Preferred Shares, the Warrant or the Common Shares or any interest therein may be made except in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; (3) the Common Shares may not be resold by the Buyer unless the resale has been registered under the 1933 Act or is made pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration and the Company shall have received the opinion of counsel provided for in the second to last sentence of this Section 5(a); (4) any sale of Common Shares under a Registration Statement shall be made only in compliance with the terms of this Section 5(a) and Section 8 (including, without limitation, Section 8(c)(5)); (5) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if the exemption provided by Rule 144 is not available, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller, or the Person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (6) the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities (other than registration of the resale of the Shares in accordance with Section 8) under the 1933 Act or, except as provided in Section 5(d) and Section 8, to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Prior to the time particular Common Shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k), the Buyer may not transfer the Common Shares in a transaction which does not constitute a transfer thereof pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein or in any supplement to the related Prospectus unless the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, that such Common Shares may be so transferred without registration under the 1933 Act. Nothing in any of the Transaction Documents shall limit the right of a holder of the Securities to make a bona fide pledge thereof to an institutional lender and the Company agrees to cooperate with any Investor who seeks to effect any such pledge by providing such information and making such confirmations as reasonably requested.

-13-

(b) Restrictive Legends. (1) The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the certificates for the Preferred Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the Preferred Shares):

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The issuance to the holder of these securities of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of these securities is not covered by a registration statement under the Act. These securities have been acquired, and such shares of common stock must be acquired, for investment and may not be sold, transferred or assigned unless (1) their resale is registered under the Act, (2) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company that such registration is not required or (3) sold, transferred or assigned to a QIB pursuant to Rule 144A.

(2) The Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the Warrant):

This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and may not be sold, transferred or assigned unless (1) the resale hereof is registered under the Act, (2) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company that such registration is not required or (3) sold, transferred or assigned to a QIB pursuant to Rule 144A.

(3) The Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that until such time as the Common Shares have been registered for resale under the 1933 Act as contemplated by Section 8 or are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act, the certificates for the Common Shares, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Common Shares):

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be resold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under the 1933 Act or an opinion of counsel that registration is not required under the 0000 Xxx.

(4) Once the Registration Statement required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 8 has been declared effective or particular Common Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act, thereafter (1) upon request of the Buyer the Company will substitute certificates without restrictive legend for certificates for any such Common Shares issued prior to the SEC Effective Date or prior to the time of such eligibility, as the case may be, which bear such restrictive legend and remove any stop-transfer restriction relating thereto promptly, but in no event later than three days after surrender of such certificates by the Buyer and (2) the Company shall not place any restrictive legend on certificates for Conversion Shares issued on conversion of the Preferred Shares or on any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant or impose any stop-transfer restriction thereon.

-14-

(c) Reporting Status. During the Registration Period, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

(d) Form D. The Company agrees to file one or more Forms D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D to claim the exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing.

(e) State Securities Laws. On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall take such action as shall be necessary to qualify, or to obtain an exemption for, the offer and sale of the Securities to the Buyer as contemplated by the Transaction Documents under such of the securities laws of jurisdictions in the United States as shall be applicable thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations of the Company in this Section 5(e), the Company shall not be required (1) to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5(e), (2) to subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (3) to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (4) to provide any undertakings that cause more than nominal expense or burden to the Company or (5) to make any change in its charter or by-laws which the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company shall furnish the Buyer with copies of all filings, applications, orders and grants or confirmations of exemptions relating to such securities laws on or before the Closing Date.

(f) Limitation on Certain Actions. From the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto to the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant, the Company shall not take any action which, if the Preferred Shares were outstanding, would constitute an Optional Redemption Event, or with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Optional Redemption Event.

(g) Use of Proceeds. The Company represents and agrees that: (1) it does not own or have any present intention of acquiring any Margin Stock; (2) the proceeds of sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares will be used for general working capital purposes and in the operation of the Company’s business; (3) none of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is currently a Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might constitute the transactions contemplated by this Agreement a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and (4) neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the 1934 Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect.

-15-

(h) Best Efforts. Each of the parties shall use its best efforts timely to satisfy each of the conditions to the other party’s obligations to sell and purchase the Preferred Shares set forth in Section 6 or 7, as the case may be, of this Agreement on or before the Closing Date.

(i) Limitation on Certain Transactions. Beginning as of the date of this Agreement and until the effective date of the Registration Statement, without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent may be withheld in the Buyer’s sole discretion), the Company shall not issue or sell or agree to issue or sell any securities in a capital raising transaction, unless such securities will not be, and are not, registered for sale or resale under the 1933 Act until on or after the effective date of the Registration Statement, provided that the limitation of this Section 5(i) shall not apply to securities issued pursuant to (a) the Company’s duly adopted employee or director bona fide share and option plans, (b) the exercise or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents that are outstanding on the date of this Agreement, or (c) a private placement in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000.00 for which the Placement Agent has acted as the placement agent therefor.

(j) Right of the Buyers to Participate in Future Transactions.

(1) Right to Participate. So long as the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Buyer will have a right to participate in any sales of any of the Company’s securities in a capital raising transaction on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5(j). During such period, the Company shall give ten Business Days advance written notice to the Buyer prior to any non-public offer or sale of any of the Company’s capital stock or any Common Stock Equivalents in a capital raising transaction by providing to the Buyer a comprehensive term sheet containing all significant business terms of such a proposed transaction. The Buyer shall have the right to participate in such proposed transaction and to purchase 20 percent of such securities which are the subject of such proposed transaction for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as contemplated for such third-party sale (or such lesser portion thereof as specified by the Buyer). If the Buyer elects to exercise its rights hereunder it must deliver written notice to the Company within five Business Days following receipt of the notice and comprehensive term sheet from the Company, which notice from the Buyer shall be contingent upon receipt of satisfactory definitive documents for such transaction from the Company. If, subsequent to the Company giving notice to the Buyer hereunder but prior to the Buyer exercising its right to participate (or the expiration of the five-day period without response from the Buyer or the rejection of such offer for such financing by the Buyer), the terms and conditions of the proposed third-party sale are changed in any material manner from that disclosed in the comprehensive term sheet provided to the Buyer, the Company shall be required to provide a new notice and comprehensive term sheet reflecting such revised terms to the Buyer hereunder and the Buyer shall have the right, which must be exercised within five Business Days of such new notice and such revised comprehensive term sheet, to exercise its rights to purchase the securities on such changed terms and conditions as provided hereunder. In the event the Buyer does not exercise its rights hereunder with respect to a proposed transaction within the period or periods provided, or affirmatively declines to engage in such proposed transaction with the Company, then the Company may proceed with such proposed transaction on the same terms and conditions as noticed to the Buyer (assuming the Buyer has consented to the transaction, if required, pursuant to Section 5(i) of this Agreement) with the Buyer if it has elected to participate in such proposed transaction, provided that if such proposed transaction is not

-16-

consummated within 60 days following the Company’s notice hereunder, then the right of first refusal hereunder shall again apply to the Buyer for such proposed transaction. The rights and obligations of this Section 5(j) shall in no way diminish the other rights of the Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.

(2) Limitation on Right of First Refusal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired directly or through acquisition of Common Stock Equivalents by the Buyer pursuant to any capital raising transaction as described in subsection (a) above shall not exceed a number that, when added to the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by the Buyer (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities (including the Preferred Shares and Warrant) that have limitations on the Buyer’s right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein (the “Excluded Shares”)), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned at such time (other than by virtue of ownership of Excluded Shares) by Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the beneficial ownership of the Buyer for purposes of determining whether a group exists or for purposes of determining the Buyer’s beneficial ownership in either case for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, would result in beneficial ownership by the Buyer or such group of more than 9.9% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”), computed in accordance with Regulation 13D-G. The Buyer shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reduce its Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company in the event and only to the extent that Section 16 of the 1934 Act or the rules promulgated thereunder (or any successor statute or rules) is changed to reduce the beneficial ownership percentage threshold thereunder from 10%.

6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

7. CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.

the Warrant to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement to be sold by selling stockholders at prices that are “at the market”, then the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a separate Registration Statement with respect to any such Registrable Securities not included with the initial Registration Statement, as expeditiously as possible, but in no event later than the date which is 45 days after the date on which the SEC shall indicate as being the first date such filing may be made.

(2) Prior to the SEC Effective Date, and during any time subsequent to the SEC Effective Date when the Registration Statement for any reason is not available for use by any Investor for the resale of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall not file any other registration statement or any amendment thereto with the SEC under the 1933 Act or request the acceleration of the effectiveness of any other registration statement previously filed with the SEC, other than (A) any registration statement on Form S-8 and (B) any registration statement or amendment, inclusive of the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 of the Company currently on file, which the Company is required to file, or as to which the Company is required to request acceleration, pursuant to any obligation in effect on the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement or a transaction permitted under Section 5(i)(c).

Each such payment shall be due and payable within five (5) days after the end of each calendar month of the Registration Default Period until the termination of the Registration Default Period and within five (5) days after such termination. Such payments shall be in partial compensation to the Buyer, and shall not constitute the Buyer’s exclusive remedy for such events. The Registration Default Period shall terminate upon (u) the filing of the Registration Statement in the case of clause (i) of the definition of “Registration Event”; (v) the SEC Effective Date in the case of clause (ii) of the definition of “Registration Event”; (w) the ability of the Buyer to effect sales pursuant to the Registration Statement in the case of clause (iii) of the definition of “Registration Event”; (x) the listing or inclusion and/or trading of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, as the case may be, in the case of clause (iv) of the definition of “Registration Event”; (y) the delivery of such shares or certificates in the case of clause (v) of the definition of “Registration Event”; and (z) in the case of the events described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Registration Event”, the earlier termination of the Registration Period and in each such case any Registration Default Period that commenced by reason of the occurrence of such event shall terminate if at the time no other Registration Event is continuing.

(b) Obligations of the Company. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall:

(1) use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as possible after the Closing Date and to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period.

(3) furnish to Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement and such Investors’ respective legal counsel, promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, (1) five copies of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, (2) one copy of each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), each of which the Company hereby determines to be confidential information and which each investor hereby agrees to keep confidential as a confidential Record in accordance with Section 8(b)(9) and (3) such number of copies of the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents, as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor;

(5) (A) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or circumstance, notify each Investor of the occurrence of any event or circumstance of which the Company has knowledge (x) as a result of which the Prospectus, as then in effect, includes 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (y) which requires the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement due to the receipt from an Investor or any other selling stockholder named in the Prospectus of new or additional information about such Investor or selling stockholder or its intended plan of distribution of its Registrable Securities or other securities covered by such Registration Statement, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement and Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission or to add any new or additional information, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request;

(B) notwithstanding Section 8(b)(5)(A) above, if at any time the Company notifies the Investors as contemplated by Section 8(b)(5)(A) the Company also notifies the Investors that the event giving rise to such notice relates to a development involving the Company which occurred subsequent to the later of (x) the SEC Effective Date and (y) the latest date prior to such notice on which the Company has amended or supplemented the Registration Statement, then the Company shall not be required to use best efforts to make such amendment during a Blackout Period; provided, however, that in any period of 365 consecutive days the Company shall not be entitled to avail itself of its rights under this Section 8(b)(5)(B) with respect to more than two Blackout Periods; and provided further, however, that no Blackout Period may commence sooner than 90 days after the end of an earlier Blackout Period;

(8) make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earning statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering a 12-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the SEC Effective Date of the Registration Statement;

(9) make available for inspection by any Investor and any Inspector retained by such Investor, at such Investor’s sole expense, all Records as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such Investor to exercise its due diligence responsibility and cause the Company’s and the Subsidiaries officers, directors and employees to supply all information which such Investor or Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence; provided, however, that such Investor shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination such Investor is so notified, unless (i) the disclosure of such Record is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement and a reasonable time prior to such disclosure the Investor shall have informed the Company of the need to so correct such misstatement or omission and the Company shall have failed to correct such misstatement or omission, (ii) the release of such Record is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or (iii) the information in such Record has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information in such Records to any Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 8(b)(9), which agreement shall permit such Inspector to disclose Records to the Investor who has retained such Inspector.

(11) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities at all times;

(12) cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to the Registration Statement to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request; and, not later than the SEC Effective Date, the Company shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement opinions of counsel in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering;

(13) during the Registration Period, the Company shall not bid for or purchase any Common Stock or any right to purchase Common Stock or attempt 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 Investors to sell Registrable Securities by reason of the limitations set forth in Regulation M under the 1934 Act; and

(14) take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement relating thereto.

(c) Obligations of the Buyer and other Investors. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:

(1) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company the Required Information and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(2) Each Investor by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement;

-23-

(3) Each Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Registrable Securities except as contemplated in the Registration Statement or as otherwise is in compliance with applicable securities laws and that it will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding such Investor or its plan of distribution; each Investor agrees (a) to notify the Company in writing in the event that such Investor enters into any material agreement with a broker or a dealer for the sale of the Registrable Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer and (b) in connection with such agreement, to provide to the Company in writing the information necessary to prepare any supplemental prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the 1933 Act which is required with respect to such transaction;

(4) Each Investor acknowledges that there may occasionally be times as specified in Section 8(b)(5) or 8(b)(6) when the Company must suspend the use of the Prospectus until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, the Company has prepared a supplement to the Prospectus or the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act. Each Investor hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives such Investor notice of the suspension of the use of the Prospectus in accordance with Section 8(b)(5) or 8(b)(6) and ending at the time the Company gives such Investor notice that such Investor may thereafter effect sales pursuant to the Prospectus, or until the Company delivers to such Investor or files with the SEC an amended or supplemented Prospectus; and

(5) In connection with any sale of Registrable Securities which is made by an Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement (A) if such sale is made through a broker, such Investor shall instruct such broker to deliver the Prospectus to the purchaser or purchasers (or the broker or brokers therefor) in connection with such sale, shall supply copies of the Prospectus to such broker or brokers and shall instruct such broker or brokers to deliver such Prospectus to the purchaser in such sale or such purchaser’s broker; (B) if such sale is made in a transaction directly with a purchaser and not through the facilities of any securities exchange or market, such Investor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Prospectus to such purchaser; and (C) if such sale is made by any means other than those described in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), such Investor shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act applicable to such sale.

(1) so long as any Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request of such Investor, to furnish to such Investor such information as may be necessary to permit such Investor to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration and otherwise reasonably to cooperate with such Investor and

(2) if at any time the Company is not required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, to use its best efforts, upon the request of an Investor, to make publicly available other information so long as is necessary to permit publication by brokers and dealers of quotations for the Common Stock and sales of the Registrable Securities in accordance with Rule 15c2-11 under the 1934 Act.

9. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

(a) Indemnification. (1) To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any Claims to which any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any Violation or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 9(a)(3) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Investors and each such controlling Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any documented reasonable legal fees or other documented and reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 9(a)(1) shall not apply to: (I) a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to an Indemnified Person furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person or an underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (II) any Claim arising out of or based on any statement or omission in any Prospectus, which statement or omission was corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Indemnified Person prior to the pertinent sale or sales of Registrable Securities by such Indemnified Person; and (III) amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors.

(2) In connection with the Registration Statement, each Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 9(a)(1), each Indemnified Party against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(a)(2) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 9(a)(2) for only that amount of all Claims in the aggregate as does not exceed the amount by which the proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement exceeds the amount paid by such Investor for such Registrable Securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the

-25-

indemnification agreement contained in this Section 9(a)(2) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the related Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.

(3) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 9(a) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(a), deliver to the indemnifying party a notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, in which case the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for more than one such separate counsel, and one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which an Action is pending, for all Indemnified Persons or Indemnified Parties, as the case may be. The failure to deliver 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 Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 9(a), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 9(a) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

(b) Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party as set forth in Section 9(a) above is applicable by its terms but is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 9(a) to the fullest extent permitted by law. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the relative fault of each party, the parties’ relative knowledge of and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 9(a), (b) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any other Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (c) the aggregate contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the amount by which the proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities exceeds the amount paid by such Investor for such Registrable Securities.

-26-

(c) Other Rights. The indemnification and contribution provided in this Section shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
