execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Purchased
Securities to be received by such Investor will be acquired for investment for
such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to

constitute an "underwriter" under the Securities Act.

Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Underlying Shares or any other shares of
capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing have been
registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement being entered into
among the Company and the Investors, such Investor will not dispose of such
securities unless and until such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the
effect that (x) such disposition will not require registration under the
Securities Act and (y) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the
Securities Act and any applicable state, local or foreign law has been taken;
provided, however, that an Investor may dispose of such securities without
-------- -------

is defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. Any Investor
that is a corporation, a partnership, a
-10-
limited liability company, a trust or other business entity further represents
by execution of this Agreement that it has not been organized for the purpose of

Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Underlying Shares and any shares
of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing held by it
may not be sold by such Investor without registration under the Securities Act

such securities for an indeterminate period.

copy of each report of the Company delivered to holders of Common Stock.
(c) The Company shall keep reserved for issuance a

5.2. Expenses; Indemnification.
-------------------------
(a) The Company agrees to pay on the Closing Date and save
the Investors harmless against liability for the payment of any stamp or similar
taxes (including interest and penalties, if any) that may be determined to be
payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issue
and sale of any Purchased Securities and the Underlying Shares, the expense of
preparing and issuing the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Shares, the
cost of delivering the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Shares of each
Investor to such Investor's address, insured in accordance with customary
practice, and the costs and expenses incurred in the preparation of all
certificates and letters on behalf of the Company and of the Company's
performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein
on its part to be performed or complied with. Each Investor shall be responsible
for its out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with the Contemplated
Transactions, except that, at the Closing, the Company shall pay fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Investors as set forth in Section 6.9.
(b) The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the
Investors have been induced to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the
Purchased Securities hereunder, in part, based upon the representations,
warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein. The Company hereby
agrees to pay, indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and any director,
officer or employee of any Investor against all claims, losses and damages
resulting from any and all legal or administrative proceedings, including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (collectively, "Loss"), resulting from a breach by the
----
Company of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or the
failure of the Company to perform any covenant made herein.
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by an
Investor of notice of any Loss in respect of which the Company may be liable
under this Section 5.2, the Investor shall give notice thereof to the Company.
Each Investor may, at its option, claim indemnity under this Section 5.2 as soon
as a claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an actual
Loss has been suffered, so long as counsel for such Investor shall in good faith
determine that such claim is not frivolous and that such Investor may be liable
or otherwise incur a Loss as a result thereof and shall give notice of such
determination to the Company. Each Investor shall permit the Company, at the
Company's option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel
mutually and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Investors who are
subject to such claim, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided,
--------
however, that each Investor may at all times participate in such defense at such
-------
Investor's expense; and provided, further, that the Company shall not, in
-------- -------
defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of each
Investor subject to such claim, (i) consent to the entry of any judgment that
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff in question to each Investor and its affiliates of a release of all
liabilities in respect of such claims, or (ii) consent to any settlement of such
claim. If the Company does not promptly assume the defense of such claim
irrespective of whether such inability is due to the inability of the afore-
described Investors and the Company to mutually agree as to the choice of
counsel, or if any such counsel is unable to represent one or more of the
Investors due to a conflict or potential conflict of interest, then an Investor
may assume such defense and be entitled to indemnification and prompt
reimbursement from the
-12-
Company for such Investor's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith,
including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. Such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Investors as soon as practicable after
submission of invoices to the Company.
5.3. Conduct of Business of the Company. From the date of the
----------------------------------
execution of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company, unless
otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or consented to in writing by
the Investors, will, and will cause its subsidiary to, carry on their respective
businesses only in the Ordinary Course of Business, use their respective

the issuance, delivery, award, grant or sale (including the grant of any
limitations in voting rights or other encumbrances) of, any shares
-13-
of any class of its capital stock (including shares held in treasury), any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any such shares,
or any rights, warrants or options to acquire, any such shares, or amend or
otherwise modify the terms of any such rights, warrants or options the effect of
which shall be to make such terms more favorable to the holders thereof;
(e) acquire or agree to acquire, by merging or
consolidating with, by purchasing an equity interest in or a portion of the
assets of, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership,
association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise

in the Ordinary Course of Business or in accordance with their terms, of
liabilities reflected or reserved against in, or contemplated by, the most
recent financial statement or incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or

release or assign any rights or claims, or modify, amend or terminate any

accounting practice or policy other than those required by GAAP or a
governmental entity; or
(k) authorize, or commit or agree to do any of the
foregoing.
