Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.

(u) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged (currently limited to the clinical testing phase). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its present business without a significant increase in cost, except for significant increases in cost that are generally applicable in the insurance industry.

(v) Regulatory Permits.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

(w) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in SEC Reports, none of the executive officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees,

officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any executive officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

(x) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

(y) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(z) Going Concern. The Company and Subsidiaries have no knowledge (upon receipt of the proceeds of this transaction) that the Company will receive a “going concern” opinion from the Company’s independent public accountants in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

(b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold Securities for any period of time.

ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Securities may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable federal and state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company or pursuant to Rule 144(k), except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee (i) certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Securities solely for investment purposes (subject to the qualifications hereof). Any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and, if such transfer is of all or a portion of the Warrants held by such Purchaser, as a holder of the Warrants.

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing Securities:

[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE] HAVE [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE

SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS

THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 18, 2004, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (other than any legend required by the Washington Business Corporation Act) (i) following any sale of the Securities by the Purchaser pursuant to a Registration Statement that is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of the such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company shall promptly after effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering the Shares and the Underlying Shares cause a legal opinion to be delivered to and maintained with its Transfer Agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the Transfer Agent, which authorize and direct the Transfer Agent to issue the Shares and Underlying Shares without a legend upon sale by the Purchaser under an effective Registration Statement. At such time as a legend is no longer required for the Securities, the Company will no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a legended certificate representing such Securities, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.

4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to such Purchaser a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with paragraph (c) of Rule 144 such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further

covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of Rule 144 applicable to the issuer of securities relating to transactions for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, after the date hereof, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

4.4 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.

4.5 Subsequent Placements.

(a) Subject to Section 4.5(b), from the date hereof until the Effective Date (the “Rights Period”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”). unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4.5(a).

(i) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice (the “Notice”) of any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, , which Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Subsequent Placement and the securities proposed to be offered, sold or granted therein (the “Offered Securities”), (x) describe the price and other terms upon which the Offered Securities are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons or entities with which the Subsequent Placement is to be effected and (z) offer (the “Offer”) to issue and sell to or exchange with each Purchaser, on the same terms set forth in the Notice, a pro-rata portion of the Offered Securities, based on such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchasers for all of the Shares purchased hereunder (the “Basic Amount”), and with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).

(ii) To accept the Offer, in whole or in part, a Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to 6:30 PM New York Time on the second Trading Day following the date on which the Offer is delivered (as determined in Section 7.5) (the “Acceptance Period”), setting forth the portion of the Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubcription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.

(iii) The Company shall have 5 Trading Days from the expiration of the Acceptance Period to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the “Refused Securities”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.

(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.5(a)(iii) above), then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(i) above.

(v) Upon the closing of the Subsequent Placement, the Purchasers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as

reduced pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The sale by the Company and the purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities are subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of mutually acceptable documentation no later than 5 Trading Days after the expiration of the Acceptance Period. If mutually acceptable documentation is not prepared, executed and delivered within such period, the Offered Securities will be deemed Refused Securities and the Company shall be entitled to proceed with their sale pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iii) above and on the same terms set forth in the documentation provided to the Purchasers.

(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Purchasers or other Persons in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(iii) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

(b) The restrictions contained in paragraph (a) of this Section shall not apply to Excluded Stock. The Rights Period set forth in the preceding paragraph (a) shall be extended for the number of Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by any Trading Market, (ii) the Registration Statement is not effective, or (iii) the prospectus included in the Registration Statement may not be used by the Purchasers for the resale of Registrable Securities thereunder.

4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 9:30a.m., New York Time, on February 23, 2004, issue a press release acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. On the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement and the form of Warrants, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Purchasers promptly after filing. Except with respect to the 8-K Filing (a copy of which will be provided to the Purchasers for their review as early as practicable prior to its filing), the Company shall, at least two Trading Days prior to the filing or dissemination of any disclosure required by this paragraph, provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers for their review. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if (i) such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication or (ii) such disclosure is in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure (but not any disclosure as to the controlling Persons thereof) is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which

case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Purchaser with any information it believes to be material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the 8-K Filing without the express written consent of such Purchaser. The Company agrees to comply with Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Company represents, warrants and confirms that each press release disseminated during the 36 months preceding the date of this Agreement did not, at the time of release, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading

4.7 Use of Proceeds. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.7, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes, and not for the repayment of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or consistent with prior practices), the redemption of any Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or the settlement of any outstanding litigation.

4.8 Reimbursement. If any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, partner, controlling Person, employee or agent of a Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (a “Related Person”) becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding brought by or against any Person in connection with or as a result of any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction Documents, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless such Purchaser or Related Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation, preparation and travel) and for any Losses incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses or Losses are incurred, excluding only Losses that result directly from such Purchaser’s or Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The conduct of any Proceedings for which indemnification is available under this paragraph shall be governed by Section 6.4(c) below. The indemnification obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Purchasers and any such Related Persons. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any Related Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that any Losses incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Purchaser or Related Person in connection with such transactions. If the Company breaches its obligations under any Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any Transaction Document or applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph

4.9 Additional Issuance of Shares.

(a) In the event that after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Date the Company, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, issues or agrees to issue any Common Stock Equivalents, other than shares of Excluded Stock, for a consideration (before deduction of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses) to the Company per share less than the Reference Price (the “Issuance Price”), each Purchaser shall be entitled immediately (and in any event prior to the end of the first Trading Day after the applicable issuance) to receive from the Company by wire transfer an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the difference between the Reference Price minus such Issuance Price, times (B) the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser hereunder.

(i) (b) For purposes of any cash payments to a Purchaser under Section 4.9(a) above, the following provisions shall be applicable: In connection with any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (x) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed Number”) shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, and (y) the price per share applicable to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock, divided by the Deemed Number.

(ii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock Equivalents for cash, the amount of the consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company for such Common Stock Equivalents.

(iii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock Equivalents for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, irrespective of any accounting treatment.

4.10 Shareholders’ Rights Plan. In the event that a shareholders’ rights plan (or similar plan or arrangement) is adopted by the Company, no claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that any Purchaser is an “acquiring person” under any such plan or could be deemed to trigger the provisions of such plan solely by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents, assuming for this purpose that such Purchaser does not otherwise acquire control of any other shares of Common Stock that would trigger the provisions of any such plan.

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Required Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date or a date that is five years after the date

such Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission or the earlier of (x) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (y) the date on which the Registered Securities may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed to the Transfer Agent to such effect (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(c) The Company shall notify each Purchaser and the Special Counsel in writing promptly (and in any event within one Trading Day) after receiving notification from the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

(d) Upon the occurrence of any Event (as defined below) and on every monthly anniversary thereof until the applicable Event is cured, as partial relief for the damages suffered therefrom by the Purchasers (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the Purchaser’s pro rata share of the purchase price paid by all Purchasers for Shares and Warrants purchased pursuant to this Agreement for the first month and 1.5% for each month thereafter until the applicable Event has been cured or until there are no longer any Registrable Securities issued or outstanding (whichever is earlier). The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) are referred to herein as “Event Payments”. Any Event Payments payable pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. In the event the Company fails to make Event Payments in a timely manner, such Event Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

(vi) the Company fails to have available a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock available to issue Underlying Shares upon any exercise of the Warrants or, at any time following the Effective Date, any Shares or Underlying Shares are not listed on an Eligible Market.

(e) Following the Effective Date, if (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determines, in its good faith judgment in reliance on the advice of counsel, not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company that would require disclosure under the Exchange Act and with respect to which the Board has determined in good faith that compliance with this Agreement may reasonably be expected to either materially interfere with the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction in a timely fashion or require the Company to disclose material, non-public information prior to such time as it would be required to be disclosed, then the Company may by notice in writing to each holder of Registrable Securities to which a Prospectus relates, require such holder to suspend, for up to 30 days (the “Suspension Period”), the use of any Prospectus included in a Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Company may not postpone, delay or suspend its obligation under this Section 6.5(b) more than 2 times in any 12 month period.

6.4 Indemnification for Claims under Securities Laws

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus, or to the extent that such information relates solely to (x) such Purchaser and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit C (or as such Purchaser otherwise informs the Company in writing) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(iv)-(vii), the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. The Company shall notify the Purchasers promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that such information relates solely to (x) the Purchaser and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus ,or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such

Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit C (or as such Purchaser otherwise informs the Company in writing) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(iv)-(vii), the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. In no event shall the liability of any Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Purchaser as a result of the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel in writing (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not impose any monetary or other obligation or restriction on the Indemnified Party.

All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be

paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall be delivered no more frequently than on a monthly basis (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reasons of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the net proceeds to such holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

6.5 Dispositions. Each Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Purchaser further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6.2(c) (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii), such Purchaser will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Purchaser’s receipt of the

copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 6.2(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

6.6 No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent set forth in Schedule 3.1(p), neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Purchasers in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders.

6.7 Piggy-Back Registrations. Except during Suspension Periods as set forth in Section 6.1(e), if at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Purchaser written notice of such determination and if, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Purchaser shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Purchaser requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.7 that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities, would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Purchasers, then (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the Purchasers included in such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Purchasers (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the Purchasers shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other Persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction of the Registrable Securities of the Purchasers shall be pro rata with the reduction of the securities of such other Persons or entities (other than the Company).

7.16 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.

In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

7.19 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of the Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with

respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.
