The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser at the Closing (as defined in Section 4 hereof), upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Shares for the consideration set forth in the IP Agreement, including the discharges, releases, promises and covenants not to xxx contained therein (the “Equity Consideration”).

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than such as have been made or obtained.
5.6 No Actions. There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, which seeks to prevent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or would otherwise reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

8.2 Indemnification by the Company. (a) The Company hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that are actually sustained by the Purchaser as a result of or based upon a material breach of any representation, warranty or agreement of the Company in this Stock Purchase Agreement, or by reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or arising out of a material breach of any such representation, warranty or agreement.
(b) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) insofar as such claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof) arise out of or are
8
based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement that relates to the issuance of the Shares, including financial statements and schedules and all other documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated by reference therein (the “Registration Statement”) or the Prospectus Supplement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, or arise out of or are based on any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use therein. For the purpose of this Section 8.2, the term “Registration Statement” shall also include any preliminary or final prospectus included in or relating to the Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or preliminary or final prospectus.
8.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser. (a) The Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Company and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which are actually sustained by the Company Indemnitees as a result of or based upon a material breach of any representation, warranty or agreement of the Purchaser in this Stock Purchase Agreement, or by reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or arising out of a material breach of any such representation, warranty or agreement.
(b) The Purchaser will indemnify the Company and each of its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) insofar as such claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto or based on any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
9
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such person for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission is made in such Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use therein; provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8.3 exceed the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sales of Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or Prospectus.
8.4 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in any case in which any person exercising rights under this Section 8 makes a claim for indemnification, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 8 provides for indemnification in such case, then, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Purchaser on the other, and each party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8.4 to the contrary, in no event shall any amount required to be contributed by the Purchaser exceed the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sales of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement which
10
contained such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or allegedly omitted to state a material fact.
8.5 Indemnification Procedures. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure resulted in actual detriment to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in any such claim or litigation include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the defense of any such claim or litigation or that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on the Indemnified Party’s behalf. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
