base a Claim for indemnification hereunder, but the failure or delay so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any obligation or
liability that it may have to the indemnified party except to the extent that
the indemnifying party demonstrates that its ability to defend or resolve such
Third Party Claim is adversely affected thereby.
(b) (i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 14.5(f) below, the
indemnifying party shall have the right, upon written notice given to the
indemnified party within 30 days after receipt of the notice from the
indemnified party of any Third Party Claim, to assume the defense or handling of
such Third Party Claim, at the indemnifying party's sole expense, in which case
the provisions of Section 14.5(b)(ii) below shall govern. (ii) The indemnifying
party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party in
connection with conducting the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim,
and the indemnifying party shall defend or handle the same in consultation with
the indemnified party, and shall keep the indemnified party timely apprised of
the status of such Third Party Claim. The indemnifying party shall not, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be

Section 14(c)(ii) below shall govern. (ii) The indemnified party may, at the
indemnifying party's expense, select counsel in connection with conducting the
defense or handling of such Third Party Claim and defend or handle such Third
Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, provided, however, that
the indemnified party shall keep the indemnifying party timely apprised of the
status of such Third Party Claim and shall not settle such Third Party Claim
without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnified party defends or handles such
Third Party Claim, the indemnifying
-37-
43
party shall cooperate with the indemnified party and shall be entitled to
participate in the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim with its own
counsel and at its own expense.
(d) If the indemnified party intends to seek indemnification hereunder,
other than for a Third Party Claim, then it shall notify the indemnifying party
in writing within sixty (60) days after its discovery of facts upon which it
intends to base its Claim for indemnification hereunder, but the failure or
delay so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying
party of any obligation or liability that the indemnifying party may have to the
indemnified party except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates
that the indemnifying party's ability to defend or resolve such Claim is
adversely affected thereby.
(e) The indemnified party may notify the indemnifying party with respect
to a Claim even though the amount thereof plus the amount of other Claims
previously notified by the indemnified party aggregate less than the Threshold.

consideration to such advice and consultation. If Buyer or its Affiliates elect
to manage the activities relating to the Remedial Action, they shall keep Seller

No. W-1
Issued: March ___, 2001 Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
Void After March ___, 2004
NEORX CORPORATION
WARRANT
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received and subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, International Isotopes Inc., a Texas
corporation, or such person to whom this Warrant is transferred (the "HOLDER"),
is entitled to exercise this Warrant to purchase from NeoRx Corporation, a
Washington corporation (the "COMPANY"), 800,000 fully paid and nonassessable
shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.02 per share (the "WARRANT
SHARES"), at a price per share of $10.00 (the "EXERCISE PRICE") (such number of
shares, type of security and the Exercise Price being subject to adjustment as
provided below).
1. CASH EXERCISE
1.1 OPTIONAL EXERCISE
This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, at any time until March
___, 2004 (the "EXERCISE PERIOD"), in whole or in part, by delivering to the
Company at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at
the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) (a) this
Warrant certificate, (b) a certified or cashier's check payable to the Company
or a wire transfer in the amount of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number
of shares for which this Warrant is being
-47-
53
exercised (the "PURCHASE PRICE"), and (c) the Notice of Cash Exercise attached
as EXHIBIT A duly completed and executed by the Holder.
1.2 COMPANY CALL
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1, if at any time during
the Exercise Period the Closing Price, as defined below, equals or exceeds
$20.00 per share, the Company at any time thereafter shall have the right to
acquire all or any portion of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant at a purchase price equal to $.01 per share (the "CALL PURCHASE PRICE")
(such right to acquire the Warrant Shares referred to as the "COMPANY CALL").
The Company will notify the Holder of its election to exercise the Company Call
(the "CALL NOTICE"), which Call Notice will contain the Company's notice of
election to purchase the Warrant Shares subject to the Company Call and the date
on or after which the Company may consummate the purchase and sale (the
"CANCELLATION DATE"). The Call Notice, if issued, shall be issued not less than
fifteen (15) days before the Cancellation Date. Delivery of the Call Notice
shall not obligate the Company to consummate a purchase and sale of the Warrant
Shares on any specific date, if at all.
"CLOSING PRICE" shall mean, with respect to the Common Stock, the
following: (a) if the Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the
Nasdaq National Market (the "NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET"), the average of the
closing or last sale prices reported for the twenty (20) business days
immediately preceding the date of calculation of such Closing Price, or (b) if
the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices reported for the twenty (20) business days immediately
preceding the date of calculation of such Closing Price.
(b) Upon the consummation of a purchase and sale pursuant to Section
1.2(a) hereof:
(i) the Company will cancel the Warrant and will duly reflect
such cancellation on the books and in the records of the
Company; and
(ii) the Company will deliver to the Holder an amount in cash
equal to the Call Purchase Price times the number of
Warrant Shares purchased in the Company Call.
2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES
2.1 Within ten (10) business days after the payment of the Purchase
Price following the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part), the Company
at its expense shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder (a) a
certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, and (b)
a new Warrant of like tenor to purchase up to that number of Warrant Shares, if
any, as to which this Warrant has not been exercised if this Warrant has not
expired. The Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder
of record of such Warrant Shares on the date this Warrant was exercised (the
date the Holder has fully complied with the requirements of Section 1.1 or 1.2),
irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares; provided that, if the date such exercise is
made is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such
person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
-48-
54
Warrant Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.
2.2 No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall pay the Holder a sum in
cash equal to the Daily Price (as defined below) of the fractional share on the
date of exercise.
"DAILY PRICE" of a Warrant Share shall mean:
(a) If the Company's Common Stock is listed and traded on an exchange or
is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the closing or last sale price on such
day;
(b) If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on and exchange or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter
market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices reported on such day;
and
(c) If none of the above is applicable, the Daily Price shall be the
fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors.
3. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS
3.1 EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION
(a) REORGANIZATION--NO CHANGE OF CONTROL
Upon a merger, consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially all of
the property or securities, liquidation or other reorganization of the Company
(collectively, a "REORGANIZATION") during the Exercise Period, as a result of
which the shareholders of the Company receive cash, securities or other property
in exchange for their shares of Common Stock and the holders of the Company's
voting equity securities immediately prior to such Reorganization together own a
majority interest of the voting equity securities of the successor corporation
following such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the
number and type of securities of the successor corporation resulting from such
Reorganization (and cash and other property), to which a holder of the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such
Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such
Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of
the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interest of the
Holder after the Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant
(including adjustments of the Exercise Price and the number and type of
securities purchasable and cash and other property deliverable pursuant to the
terms of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as
reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property
deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) REORGANIZATION--CHANGE OF CONTROL; TERMINATION OF WARRANT
Upon a Reorganization prior to or during the Exercise Period, as a
result of which the shareholders of the Company receive cash, securities or
other property in exchange for their shares of Common Stock and the holders of
the Company's voting equity securities immediately prior to such
-49-
55
Reorganization together own less than a majority interest of the voting equity
securities of any successor corporation following such Reorganization, the
Holder shall be given notice at least ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness
thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Warrant shall become
immediately exercisable in full upon such notice to the Holder, subject to the
effectiveness of the Reorganization, provided, however, that such acceleration
of exercisability will not occur if, in the opinion of the Company's outside
accountants, such acceleration would render unavailable "pooling of interests"
accounting treatment for any Reorganization for which pooling of interests
accounting treatment is sought by the Company (in which event, lawful provision
shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant during the remainder of the Exercise Period, the number
and type of securities of the successor corporation resulting from such
Reorganization (and cash and other property) to which a holder of the Warrant
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such
Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such
Reorganization). The Holder shall have five (5) days from the receipt of such
notice to give notice to the Company whether it intends to conditionally
exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, this Warrant shall become forever null and void to the extent not
conditionally exercised on or before 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the fifth day
following the receipt by the Holder of notice of the proposed Reorganization
(unless the acceleration of exercisability is denied by the Company in order to
preserve "pooling of interests" accounting treatment as set forth above).
3.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS, DIVIDENDS
If the Company shall issue any shares of the same class as the Warrant
Stock as a stock dividend or subdivide the number of outstanding shares of the
same class as the Warrant Shares into a greater number of shares, then, in
either such case, the Exercise Price in effect before such dividend or
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares at
that time issuable pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately increased; and, conversely, if the Company shall contract the
number of outstanding shares of the same class as the Warrant Shares by
combining such shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price
in effect before such combination shall be proportionately increased and the
number of Warrant Shares at that time issuable pursuant to the exercise or
conversion of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Each adjustment
in the number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be to the nearest whole share.
3.3 CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS
In the case of any adjustment in the Exercise Price or number and type
of securities issuable and cash or other property deliverable upon exercise of
this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice to the Holder in the
form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by an officer of the Company,
setting forth the adjustment in reasonable detail.
4. SECURITIES LAWS RESTRICTIONS; LEGEND ON WARRANT SHARES
4.1 This Warrant and, subject to satisfaction of Section 7.2, the
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT") or
applicable state securities laws, and no interest may be sold, distributed,
assigned, offered, pledged or otherwise transferred to any entity other than a
subsidiary of the Holder unless (a) there is an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and applicable state
-50-
56
securities laws covering any such transaction involving said securities, (b) the
Company receives an opinion of legal counsel for the Holder satisfactory to the
Company stating that such transaction is exempt from registration, (c) such
transaction is in compliance with Rule 144A or Rule 144 of the Securities Act,
or (d) the Company otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt
from registration.
4.2 A legend setting forth or referring to the above restrictions shall
be placed on this Warrant, any replacement and any certificate representing the
Warrant Shares, and a stop transfer order shall be placed on the books of the
Company and with any transfer agent until such securities may be legally sold or
otherwise transferred.
5. EXCHANGE OF WARRANT; LOST OR DAMAGED WARRANT CERTIFICATE
This Warrant is exchangeable upon its surrender by the Holder at the
office of the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of satisfactory evidence of
the loss, theft, destruction or damage of this Warrant and either (in the case
of loss, theft or destruction) reasonable indemnification or (in the case of
damage) the surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, the Company will execute
and deliver to the Holder, without charge, a new Warrant of like denomination.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY
The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) The Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(b) The Holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant and the Warrant
Shares. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise hereof for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and
the General Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Holder shall not
make any sale, transfer or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise thereof in violation of the Securities Act by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") or in violation of
any applicable state or foreign securities law.
(c) The Holder has been advised that this Warrant, and the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise hereof, have not been registered under the
Securities Act or state or foreign securities laws in reliance upon an exemption
from registration, and that reliance by the Company on such exemptions is
predicated in part on Holder's representations set forth herein.
(d) The Holder has been informed that under the Securities Act, this
Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion hereof must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless
an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144) is available with respect
to any proposed transfer or disposition by the Holder. The Holder further agrees
that the Company may refuse to permit the Holder to sell, transfer or dispose of
this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion hereof (except as
permitted under Rule 144), unless there is in effect a registration statement
under the Securities Act and any applicable state or
-51-
57
foreign securities laws covering such transfer, or unless the Holder furnishes
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, to the
effect that such registration is not required.
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that this
Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and the Transaction Documents (as those terms are defined in the Asset
Purchase Agreement between NeoRx Corporation and International Isotopes Inc.
dated as of March 20, 2001) will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and

with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and
of such other securities or blue sky laws as may be

Commission or any other federal or state governmental

in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein

requires the making of any changes in the Registration
Statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or under which such
statement was made, not misleading, and (vi) of the
Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement would be
appropriate;

required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of the Warrant Shares being sold thereunder,
such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
7.3 RESALE OF WARRANT SHARES
(a) The Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of
the Warrant Shares without satisfying the requirements of the Securities Act and
the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, including, in the event of any
resale under the Registration Statement, the prospectus delivery requirements
under the Securities Act, and the Holder acknowledges and agrees that such
Warrant Shares are not transferable on the books of the Company pursuant to a
resale under
-54-
60
the Registration Statement unless the certificate submitted to the transfer
agent evidencing the Warrant Shares is accompanied by a separate certificate in
the form acceptable to the Company to the effect that (i) the Warrant Shares
have been sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and (ii) the
requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.
(b) The Holder acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when
the Company determines the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement should be suspended until such time as an amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus has been filed by the
Company and any such amendment to the Registration Statement is declared
effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an
appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Holder
hereby covenants that it will not sell any Warrant Shares pursuant to the
Prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives
the Holder written notice of the suspension of the use of the Prospectus and
ending at the time the Company gives the Holder written notice that the Holder
may thereafter effect sales pursuant to the Prospectus. The Company may, upon
written notice to the Holder, suspend the use of the Prospectus for two 60-day
periods in any 365-day period based on the reasonable determination of the
Company's Board of Directors that there is a significant business purpose for
such determination, such as pending corporate developments, public filings with
the Commission or similar events. The Company shall in no event be required to
disclose the business purpose for which it has suspended the use of the
Prospectus if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that the
business purpose should remain confidential.
(c) The Holder further covenants to notify the Company promptly of the
sale of any of its Warrant Shares.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and
each person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of the
Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses,
joint or several, to which the Holder or such controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and
schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the
time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information
deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to

the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) of the under the Securities Act, or filed as part of the Registration
Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the
"PROSPECTUS"), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of
them, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Warrant, or any
failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant or under
law, and will reimburse the Holder
-55-
61
and each such controlling person for any legal and other expenses as such
expenses are reasonably incurred by the Holder or such controlling person in
connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Holder by or on behalf of
the Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or
(ii) the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements
contained in Sections 6 and 7 of this Warrant respecting resale of the Shares,
or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by the Holder in this
Warrant or (iv) any untrue statement or omission of a material fact required to
make such statement not misleading in any Prospectus that is corrected in any
subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Holder before the pertinent sale
or sales by the Holder.
(b) The Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or
at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below)
arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and
agreements contained in Sections 7.2 of this Warrant respecting the sale of the
Warrant Shares or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by the Holder
in this Warrant or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use therein, and the
Holder will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and
other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in
connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8
of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution
or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or
to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure.
-56-

(d) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and
such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying 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 action or that there may be legal defenses
available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof unless:
(i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in
connection with the assumption of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it
being understood, however, that the indemnifying party
shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party in
the case of Section 8(c), representing all of the
indemnified parties who are parties to such action), or
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of action, in each of which
cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be
at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is required by
its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 8 in
respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in
this Agreement, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Holder
from the placement of the Warrant Shares or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (e)(i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (e)(i) above but the relative fault
of the Company and the Holder in connection with the
statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties in this Warrant resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
-57-
63
The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Holder on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
amount paid by the Holder to the Company pursuant to this Warrant for the
Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder that were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement bears to the difference (the "DIFFERENCE") between the
amount the Holder paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement and the amount received by the Holder from such sale. The
relative fault of the Company and the Holder shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the
inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to
information supplied by the Company or by the Holder and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8(c) and
(d), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions
set forth in Sections 8(c) and (d) with respect to the notice of the threat or
commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is
to be made under this Section 8(e); provided, however, that no additional notice
shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been
given under Section 8 for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the
Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 8 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8,
the Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.
(f) For the purpose of this Section 8, the term "Registration Statement"
shall include any preliminary or final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or
amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in
Section 8(a) above.
