ARTICLE IV
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 4.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in
Articles II and III hereof shall survive until the first anniversary of the date
hereof.
SECTION 4.2 Indemnification. Each party (including its officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (each an
"Indemnified Party")) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the other
parties hereto (each an "Indemnifying Party") for any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and
penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (collectively, "Losses"),
arising out of or resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty
made by an Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the aggregate liability of any Investor under this Article IV shall
in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price paid by such
Investor for the Shares purchased by it and the aggregate liability of the
Company under this Article IV shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of
the purchase price paid by the Investors for the Shares, except that the
Company's liability for a violation of any of the representations and warranties
contained in the first two sentences of Section 2.7 may exceed such limitation,
but shall in no event exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price
paid by the Investors for the Shares.
SECTION 4.3 Indemnification Procedure. The obligations and liabilities
of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IV with respect to Losses arising
from claims of any third party that are subject to the indemnification provided
for in this Article IV ("Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and
contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified
Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall
give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim promptly after the
receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice (which notice shall include the
amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing
a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right
of indemnification is claimed or arises); provided, however, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its
obligations under this Article IV except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to any Indemnified
Party otherwise than under this Article IV. Upon written notice to the
Indemnified Party within five (5) days of the receipt of such notice, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such
Third Party Claim at its or his expense and through counsel of its or his choice
(which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party);
provided, however, that, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment
of counsel to the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the
Indemnified Party and the
8
Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its
or his own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party
reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any
such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense
and make available to such Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's
expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the
Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating
thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the
event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense
against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with
the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified
Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses (including
himself), records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's
possession or under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be
settled by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnified Party without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); provided, however, in the event that the Indemnified
Party does not consent to any such settlement that would provide it with a full
release from indemnified Loss and would not require it to take, or refrain from
taking, any action, the Indemnifying Party's liability for indemnification shall
not exceed the amount of such proposed settlement. The Indemnified Party will
refrain from any act or omission that is inconsistent with the position taken by
the Indemnifying Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim unless the
Indemnified Party determines that such act or omission is reasonably necessary
to protect its own interest.
ARTICLE V

Act and in which the holders of Common Stock of the Company do not receive
common stock of the Person surviving such transaction which is required to be
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or (vi) immediately after any
merger, consolidation, recapitalization or similar transaction, a "group"

deemed "Registrable Securities" under the terms of the Investment Agreement by
and among the Company, the Company's predecessor and the Investors, dated
November 13, 2000 (the "Series B Investment Agreement") (subject to the
provisions of Section 13.1(a) of the Series B Investment Agreement), and the
parties hereto (who also constitute all of the parties to the Series B
Investment Agreement) hereby amend the definition of "Registrable Securities"
contained in the Series B Investment Agreement so that such definition includes
the New Registrable Securities, along with any other securities already included
within the definition thereof.
10
SECTION 5.3 Standby Commitment. The Investors hereby irrevocably agree,
severally but not jointly, that they shall provide the Company up to an

Commitment Amount may be drawn by the Company, at its option (as determined by
the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company) at any time
prior to January 1, 2004 in one or more tranches; provided, however, that the
Company may draw from the Commitment Amount only at such time as its total cash
balances are less than one million dollars ($1,000,000); and provided, further,
that the Commitment Amount shall be reduced by the gross cash proceeds received
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from the issuance after the date
hereof of any equity or convertible securities, excluding the issuance of equity
