damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or
in the other Transaction
Documents; or (z) to the extent
caused solely by a Purchaser Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The indemnification required by this Section
4.5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein

Subsequent Equity
Sales.
(a) From
the date hereof until such time as the Purchasers no longer holds
the Notes, the Company will not, without the consent of all of
the then-outstanding Note holders, enter into any Equity Line of Credit or similar
agreement, nor issue nor agree to issue any Variable Priced Equity
Linked Instruments (collectively, the “Variable Rate
Transactions”). For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of
Credit” means any transaction involving a written agreement
between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the
Company has the right to “put” its securities to the
investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at future
determined price or price formula (other than customary
“preemptive” or “participation” rights or
“weighted average” or “full-ratchet”
antidilution provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights
offerings and similar transactions that are not Variable Priced
Equity Linked Instruments), and “Variable Priced Equity
Linked Instruments” means: (A) any debt or equity securities
which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or
carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either
(1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price
that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or
quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance
of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a conversion, exercise
or exchange price that is subject to being reset on more than one
occasion at some future date at any time after the initial issuance
of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price
of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance
(other than customary “preemptive” or
“participation” rights or “weighted
average” or “full-ratchet” antidilution
provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and
similar transactions), and (B) any amortizing convertible security
which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is
required or has the option to (or any investor in such transaction
has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization
payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or
quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance
of such debt or equity security (whether or not such payments in
stock are subject to certain equity conditions). For purposes of
determining the total consideration for a convertible instrument
(including a right to purchase equity of the Company) issued,
subject to an original issue or similar discount or which principal
amount is directly or indirectly increased after issuance, the
consideration will be deemed to be the actual cash amount received
by the Company in consideration of the original issuance of such
convertible instrument.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.8
shall not apply in respect of an
Exempt Issuance (except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be
an Exempt Issuance). The Company shall provide the Purchasers with
notice of any such issuance or sale in the manner for disclosure of
Subsequent Financings set forth in Section
4.7.

Company will be responsible for obtaining at its own cost) that the
Shares and/or Conversion Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144
free of restrictive legends.
(b) The
Purchasers shall have piggy-back registration rights with respect
to the resale of the Shares and/or Conversion
Shares.
(c) Each
Purchaser acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the
Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer
the Securities or any interest therein without complying with the
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable law.

the Company and the Transfer Agent, and their respective directors,
executive officers, employees and agents, may rely on this
Section
4.9.

Notes. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original
Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor
shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or

such actions as are necessary to cause any such registration
statement to remain effective during the term the Notes remain
outstanding.

Ranking of
Notes. Other than Permitted
Indebtedness subject to Permitted Liens and the GPB and affiliated
