(ii) immediately notify the Subscriber when the prospectus included in the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

The Company may require the Subscriber, upon five business days’ notice, to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to, among other things, the number of Conversion Shares and the number of other shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and the person that has voting and dispositive control over such shares. The Subscriber covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, in connection with sales of Conversion Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Selling Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement shall be borne by the Subscriber.
(e) Indemnification and Contribution.
(i) The Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber, each officer of the Subscriber, if applicable, each director of the Subscriber, if applicable, and each other person, if any, who controls the Subscriber within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Subscriber or such other person (a “controlling person”) may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (“Claims”) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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 light of the circumstances when made, and will, subject to the limitations herein, reimburse the Subscriber and each controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Subscriber to the extent that any Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with information furnished by the Subscriber or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
6 |
(ii) The Subscriber will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company against all Claims to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or 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, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Subscriber will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to the Subscriber, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this section and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this section except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, 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 reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7 |
(iv) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Subscriber, or any controlling person of a Subscriber, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this section 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 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Subscriber or controlling person of the Subscriber in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this section, then, and in each such case, the Company and the Subscriber will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in a manner that reflects, as near as practicable, the economic effect of the foregoing provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
(i) Within three business days (such business day, the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares have been sold either pursuant to, and in compliance with, the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (A) shall deliver the Conversion Shares so sold without any restrictive legends relating to the Securities Act (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (B) shall cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the unsold Conversion Shares, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. Transfer fees shall be the responsibility of the Subscriber.
8 |
(ii) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date but is subject to the cooperation of the Subscriber’s broker (the so-called DTC participant).
(iii) The Subscriber agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Conversion Shares as set forth in this section is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Subscriber will sell any Conversion Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

Each party hereto represents to the other that there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”), to whom the Company shall pay broker’s commissions in the form of: (i) cash, in the amount equal to 10% of the Purchase Price and (ii) stock, in the amount of 25,000 shares of Common Stock. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons, other than Palladium, claiming brokerage commissions or similar fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of the indemnifying party’s actions.
7. Covenants Regarding Indemnification. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the other party and the other party’s officers, directors, agents, counsel, affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, as applicable, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the indemnified party or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation or warranty by the indemnifying party in this Agreement or (ii) any breach or default in performance by the indemnifying party of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the indemnifying party.

(e) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.
