refuse to accept such nonpublic information for review. The Company may, as a
condition to disclosing any nonpublic information hereunder, require the
Investor and its advisors and representatives to enter into a confidentiality
agreement (including an agreement with such advisors and representatives

event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
nonpublic information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by and such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, would cause such Prospectus to include a material misstatement or to
omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5 shall be construed to mean
that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written
consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain
nonpublic information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Investor's advisors or representatives disclose to the Investor the nature of
the specific event or circumstances constituting any nonpublic information
discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of their due
diligence without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of
such information.
2.5.2 Disclosure of Misstatements and Omissions. The Investor's
advisors or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the Investor's
counsel of all events or circumstances constituting nonpublic information

diligence upon which such advisors or representatives form the opinion that the
Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary
to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading. Upon receipt of such disclosure, the
Investor's counsel shall consult with the Company's independent counsel in order
to address the concern raised as to the existence of a material misstatement or
omission and to discuss appropriate disclosure with respect thereto; provided,
however, that such consultation shall not constitute the advice of the Company's
independent counsel to the Investor as to the accuracy of the Registration
Statement and related Prospectus.
18
2.5.3 Procedure if Material Facts are Reasonably Believed to be
Untrue or are Omitted. In the event after such consultation the Investor or the
Investor's counsel reasonably believes that the Registration Statement contains
an untrue statement or a material fact or omits a material fact required to be
stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading,
(a) the Company shall file with the SEC an amendment to the
Registration Statement responsive to such alleged untrue statement or omission
and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable, with xxxxx of the
Registration Statement and related Prospectus, as so amended. or
(b) if the Company disputes the existence of any such
material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's independent counsel shall
provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion and (ii) in the event
the dispute relates to the adequacy of financial disclosure and the Investor
shall reasonably request, the Company's independent auditors shall provide to
the Company a letter ("Agreed Upon Procedures Report") outlining the performance
of such "agreed upon procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by the
Investor and the Company shall provide the Investor with a copy of such letter.
2.6 Commitment Payments.

event that the Company delivers a Termination Notice to the Investor or an
Automatic Termination occurs, the Company shall pay to the Investor (the
"Termination Fee") the greater of (i) the Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee for the
applicable Commitment Evaluation Period, or (ii) the difference of (x) 5200,000,
minus (y) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares put to
Investor during all Puts to date, and the Company shall not be required to pay
the Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee thereafter.

shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all of its
stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors
and any of the foregoing person's agents, members, partners or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages. and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any material misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or documents contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby. (c) any cause of action, suit or claim,
derivative or otherwise, by any stockholder of the Company based on a breach or
alleged breach by the Company or any of its officers or directors of their
fiduciary or other obligations to the stockholders of the Company, or (d) claims
made by third parties against any of the Indemnitees based on a violation of
Section 5 of the Securities Act caused by the integration of the private sale of
common stock to the Investor and the public offering pursuant to the
Registration Statement.
To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be
unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which it
would be required to make if such foregoing undertaking was enforceable which is
permissible under applicable law.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim
33
in respect thereof is to be made against the other party (hereinafter
"Indemnitor") under this Section 9, deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice
of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall have the right to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
selected by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and
expenses of one such counsel to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of
such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the
Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any
liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9, but the omission to so
deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this Section 9 to the
extent it is prejudicial.
