of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof, together with the rights and obligations of
the Subscribers under the Warrants, shall be binding upon any transferees of the

transfer, assignment or pledge hereunder not previously registered under the
Securities Act or sold in accordance with this Section 4(a).
b)

The

Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall have been registered under the
Securities Act or sold in accordance with Section 4(a), the Consideration
Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form:

each of the following conditions:
(i) The
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscribers contained in
this Agreement, the Warrants and the Framework Agreement and the performance by

this Agreement, the Warrants and the Framework Agreement required to be

(ii) The
absence or inapplicability of any and all laws, rules or regulations prohibiting
or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or
approval which shall not have been obtained.
(iii) The
Subscribers shall have executed each of this Agreement, the Warrants and the
Framework Agreement and any and all ancillary documents thereto and delivered
the same to the Company.
(iv) The
Company shall have received from the Subscribers such other certificates and
documents as it or its representatives, if applicable, shall reasonably request,
and all proceedings taken by the Subscribers in connection with this Agreement,
the Warrants and the Framework Agreement and all documents and papers relating
thereto shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
(v) All
conditions to the closing of the Framework Agreement shall have been satisfied
and the Subscribers shall have obtained in writing or made all consents,
waivers, approvals, orders, permits, licenses and authorizations of, any
registrations, declarations, notices to and filings and applications with, any
governmental authority or any other person or entity (including, without
limitation, securityholders and creditors of the Subscribers) required to be
obtained or made in order to enable the Subscribers to observe and comply with
all their obligations under the Framework Agreement, this Agreement and the
Warrants and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.
INDEMNIFICATION
a)
Indemnification of Subscribers by the Company.
7
The
Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Subscribers, their
affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners and members
(collectively, the “Subscribers’ Indemnitees”), from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, judgments, penalties, liabilities and deficiencies
(collectively, “Losses”), and agrees to reimburse the Subscribers’ Indemnitees
for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
legal counsel), to the extent arising out of or in connection with any
misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of the Company's
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and any
failure by the Company to perform any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings
or obligations set forth in this Agreement.
b)
Indemnification of the Company by Subscribers.
The
Subscribers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners
and members (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”), from and against any and
all Losses, and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal
counsel), to the extent arising out of or in connection with any
misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of the Subscribers’
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and any
failure by the Subscribers to perform any of their covenants, agreements,
undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement.
c) Third
Party Claims.
Promptly
after receipt by either party hereto seeking indemnification pursuant to this
Section 6 (an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of any investigation,
claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being
sought (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the party against
whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 is being sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify
the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise
may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by
reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption
of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the
defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable
fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the
Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed
to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation
of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel
would not be appropriate due to actual, or, as reasonably determined by legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially, differing interests between such
parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal
defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate
from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party
shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the
commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal
counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z)
above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne
exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal counsel for the
Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
(which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) settle or compromise any
Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an
unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect
to such Claim or judgment.
8
d) Damages.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the liability for indemnification of any
Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall not include consequential,
indirect, punitive or exemplary damages.
7.
EXPENSES
Each of
the parties hereto agree that they shall each be responsible for and pay their
own expenses and fees, including all legal, accounting and other professional
fees, associated with the transactions contemplated by Consideration Shares and
the Warrants. Notwithstanding, all stamp, documentary or similar taxes or fees
imposed by taxing authority in respect of the issuance of the Consideration
Shares or the Warrants shall be borne entirely by Subscribers.
8.
SURVIVAL
The
representations and warranties of the Company and the Subscribers shall survive
the Closing until twelve (12) months following the Closing Date.

Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument
