W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, each of the Purchasers is willing to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchasers, shares of the Seller’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and Common Stock Purchase Warrants in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrants”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $10 million, as more fully set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I - PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2), the Seller will sell and each of the Purchasers will purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule 1 hereto at a price per share equal to $0.6501. In addition, each Purchaser shall receive at the Closing Warrants to purchase the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Common Stock equal to 40% of the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser at Closing hereunder as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

(b) The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon Closing hereunder are referred to herein as the “Shares,” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”

1.2 Terms of the Warrants. The terms and provisions of the Warrants are more fully set forth in the form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.3 Transfers; Legends.

(a) Except as required by federal securities laws and the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction within the United States or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Related Documents, the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) may be transferred, in whole or in part, by any of the Purchasers at any time. Any such transfer shall be made by a Purchaser in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to the Seller, the Seller may require the transferor thereof to furnish to the Seller an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, such counsel and the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and Seller’s counsel, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act; provided, that in the case of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, no opinion shall be required if the transferor provides the Seller with a customary seller’s representation letter, and if such sale is not pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, a customary broker’s representation letter and Form 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Seller and with any transfer agent for the securities of the Seller, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee certifies to the Seller that it is an Affiliate of such Purchaser and 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) and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part in violation of the Securities Act. Any transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and this Agreement. The Seller shall reissue certificates evidencing the Securities upon surrender of certificates evidencing the Securities being transferred in accordance with this Section 1.3(a). In connection with any transfer of Warrants after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the transferor of such Warrants shall reimburse the Seller for its reasonable out of pocket costs in connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable attorneys fees for preparing and filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer agent). An “Affiliate” means any Person (as such term is defined below) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Purchaser, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Purchaser will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Purchaser. A “Person” means any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision of any thereof) or other entity of any kind.

(b) The certificates representing the Securities shall bear the following legends:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY, OR ACQUIRABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY, THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO NEXMED, INC. (THE “COMPANY”), SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 20, 2006, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS 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.”

ARTICLE II - PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

2.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by each Purchaser to the Seller to acquire the Shares and the applicable Warrants shall be the total amounts set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1 hereto.

2.2 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than five (5) business days following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1(a) and 6.2(a) (other than those conditions which by their terms are not to be satisfied or waived until the Closing), at the offices of Seller’s counsel. The date on which the Closing occurs is the “Closing Date.”

The Seller and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and are in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the property owned or leased by them or the nature of their activities makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any person or entity, a material adverse effect on its and its Subsidiaries’ condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, assets, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) or results of operations taken as a whole.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” means, with respect to any entity, any corporation or other organization of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions are directly or indirectly owned by such entity or of which such entity is a partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 50% or more of any class of equity securities or equivalent profit participation interests.

The Warrant Shares have been duly reserved for issuance by the Seller. This Agreement and the Related Documents have been or, to the extent contemplated hereby or by the Related Documents, will be duly executed and delivered and constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of its obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3.3 Charter, Bylaws and Corporate Records. The minute books of the Seller and its Subsidiaries contain complete and accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions of the board of directors, committees of the board of directors, incorporators and stockholders of the Seller and its Subsidiaries from September 15, 1995 to the date hereof. All material corporate decisions and actions have been validly made or taken.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Lien” means, with respect to any asset, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, claim or encumbrance of any kind in respect of such asset.

3.6 SEC Documents. The Seller is obligated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to file reports pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) thereof (all such reports filed or required to be filed by the Seller, including all exhibits thereto or incorporated therein by reference, and all documents filed by the Seller under the Securities Act hereinafter called the “SEC Documents”). The Seller has filed all reports or other documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act. All SEC Documents filed by the Seller as of or for any period beginning on or after January 1, 2003, (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing) 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 were made, not misleading. The Seller has previously delivered to the Purchaser a correct and complete copy of each report (including, without limitation, the Seller’s 2005 Proxy Statement) which the Seller filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) under the Exchange Act for any period ending on or after December 31, 2004 (the “Recent Reports”) to the extent not available via XXXXX. None of the information about the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries which has been disclosed to the Purchasers herein or in the course of discussions and negotiations with respect hereto which is not disclosed in the Recent Reports is or was required to be so disclosed, and no material non-public information has been disclosed to the Purchasers.

3.7 Financial Statements. Each of the Seller’s audited consolidated balance sheet and related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity (including the related notes) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, as contained in the Recent Reports (collectively, the “Seller’s Financial Statements” or the “Financial Statements”) (x) present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Seller and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the dates thereof and the results of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity as of and for each of the periods then ended, and (y) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, in each case, except as otherwise indicated in the notes thereto.

3.8 Compliance with Law. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are in compliance and have conducted their business so as to comply with all laws, rules and regulations, judgments, decrees or orders of any court, administrative agency, commission, regulatory authority or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, applicable to their operations, the violation of which would cause a Material Adverse Affect. There are no judgments or orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether rendered by a court or administrative agency or by arbitration), including any such actions relating to affirmative action claims or claims of discrimination, against the Seller or its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or businesses.

3.9 No Defaults. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are not, nor have they received notice that they would be with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, (i) in violation of any provision of their Articles and Bylaws (ii) in default or violation of any term, condition or provision of (A) any judgment, decree, order, injunction or stipulation applicable to the Seller or its Subsidiaries or (B) any material agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license to which the Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party or by which the Seller or its Subsidiaries or their properties or assets may be bound, and no circumstances exist which would entitle any party to any material agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument to which such Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party, to terminate such as a result of such Seller or its Subsidiaries, having failed to meet any material provision thereof including, but not limited to, meeting any applicable milestone under any material agreement or contract.

3.10 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.10, there is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller and its Subsidiaries which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or its Subsidiaries or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and there is no basis for the assertion of any of the foregoing. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that the Company has received notice from The Nasdaq Capital Market that the Common Stock is not in compliance with applicable listing requirements, and that such Purchaser has reviewed the Company’s disclosure regarding such non-compliance in the Recent Reports.

There are no claims or complaints existing or, to the knowledge of the Seller or its Subsidiaries threatened, for product liability in respect of any product of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries are not aware of any basis for the assertion of any such claim.

3.12 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in the Recent Reports, and except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2005, as of the date hereof, (i) the Seller and its Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) which, and (ii) there has not been any aspect of the prior or current conduct of the business of the Seller or its Subsidiaries which may form the basis for any material claim by any third party which if asserted could result in any such material liabilities or obligations which, are not fully reflected, reserved against or disclosed in the balance sheet of the Seller as at December 31, 2005.

3.13 Taxes. All tax returns and tax reports required to be filed with respect to the income, operations, business or assets of the Seller and its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (or appropriate extensions have been obtained) with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such returns and reports are required to be filed, and all of the foregoing as filed are correct and complete and, in all material respects, reflect accurately all liability for taxes of the Seller and its Subsidiaries for the periods to which such returns relate, and all amounts shown as owing thereon have been paid. All income, profits, franchise, sales, use, value added, occupancy, property, excise, payroll, withholding, FICA, FUTA and other taxes (including interest and penalties), if any, collectible or payable by the Seller and its Subsidiaries or relating to or chargeable against any of its material assets, revenues or income or relating to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party through the Closing Date, will have been fully collected and paid by such date if due by such date or provided for by adequate reserves in the Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2005 (other than taxes accruing after such date) and all similar items due through the Closing Date will have been fully paid by that date or provided for by adequate reserves, whether or not any such taxes were reported or reflected in any tax returns or filings. No taxation authority has sought to audit the records of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of verifying or disputing any tax returns, reports or related information and disclosures provided to such taxation authority, or for the Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ alleged failure to provide any such tax returns, reports or related information and disclosure. No material claims or deficiencies have been asserted against or inquiries raised with the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any taxes or other governmental charges or levies which have not been paid or otherwise satisfied, including claims that, or inquiries whether, the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has not filed a tax return that it was required to file, and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there exists no reasonable basis for the making of any such claims or inquiries. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any restrictions on assessment or collection of taxes or consented to the extension of any statute of limitations relating to taxation.

3.14 Interests of Officers, Directors and Other Affiliates. The description of any interest held, directly or indirectly, by any officer, director or other Affiliate of Seller (other than the interests of the Seller and its Subsidiaries in such assets) in any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to Seller’s business, including any interest in the Intellectual Property (as defined in Section 3.15 hereof), as set forth in the Recent Reports, is true and complete, and no officer, director or other Affiliate of the Seller has any interest in any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to the Seller’s business, including the Seller’s Intellectual Property, other than as set forth in the Recent Reports.

(b) no royalties or fees (license or otherwise) are payable by the Seller or its Subsidiaries to any Person by reason of the ownership or use of any of the Intellectual Property except as set forth on Schedule 3.15;

(c) there have been no claims made against the Seller or its Subsidiaries asserting the invalidity, abuse, misuse, or unenforceability of any of the Intellectual Property, and, to its knowledge, there are no reasonable grounds for any such claims;

(d) neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries have made any claim of any violation or infringement by others of its rights in the Intellectual Property, and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no reasonable grounds for such claims exist; and

(e) neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries have received notice that it is in conflict with or infringing upon the asserted rights of others in connection with the Intellectual Property.

3.16 Restrictions on Business Activities.

All of such policies are in full force and effect and are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries have complied with all material terms and conditions of such policies, including premium payments. None of the insurance carriers has indicated to the Seller or its Subsidiaries an intention to cancel any such policy.

4.1 Existence and Power. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Purchaser’s organization. The Purchaser has all powers required to carry on such Purchaser’s business as now conducted.

This Agreement and the Related Documents to which the Purchaser is a party have been or, to the extent contemplated hereby, will be duly executed and delivered and constitute valid and binding agreements of the Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors and except that enforceability of their obligations thereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.3 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the securities described herein for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with the intention of distributing or reselling the same, provided, however, that by making the representation herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

4.4 Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold to such Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Seller is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the securities.

The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

4.6 General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

ARTICLE V - COVENANTS OF THE SELLER AND PURCHASERS

5.1 Insurance. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall, from time to time upon the written request of the Purchasers, promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Purchasers evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, of the maintenance of all insurance maintained by it for loss or damage by fire and other hazards, damage or injury to persons and property, including from product liability, and under workmen’s compensation laws.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the inability or failure of the Purchasers to discover any breach, default or misrepresentation by the Seller under this Agreement or the Related Documents (including under any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement), notwithstanding the exercise by the Purchasers or other holders of the Shares of their rights hereunder to conduct an investigation shall not in any way diminish any liability hereunder.

5.4 Further Assurances. The Seller shall, at its cost and expense, upon written request of the Purchasers, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Purchasers such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary, advisable or proper, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers, to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

5.7 Licenses. The Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain at all times all material licenses or permits necessary to the conduct of its business and as required by any governmental agency or instrumentality thereof, including without limitation all FDA clearances and approvals.

5.8 Taxes and Claims. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall duly pay and discharge (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon or against the Seller or its properties or assets prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, unless and to the extent that such taxes are being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and appropriate reserves therefor have been established, and (b) all material lawful claims, whether for labor, materials, supplies, services or anything else which might or could, if unpaid, become a lien or charge upon the properties or assets of the Seller or its Subsidiaries unless and to the extent only that the same are being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and appropriate reserves therefor have been established.

5.9 Perform Covenants. The Seller shall duly comply with all the terms and covenants contained herein and in each of the instruments and documents given to the Purchasers in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, all at the times and places and in the manner set forth herein or therein.

(b) The Seller shall timely prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the form of notice of the sale of securities pursuant to the requirements of Regulation D regarding the sale of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement.

(d) Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, shall directly or indirectly make any offers or sales of any securities or solicit any offers to buy any securities under circumstances that would cause the loss of the 4(2) exemption under the Securities Act for the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.11 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Seller shall (i) on or promptly after the Closing Date, issue a press release disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) after the Closing Date, timely file with the Commission a Report on Form 8-K disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.12 Like Treatment of Purchasers and Holders. Neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration (immediate or contingent), whether by way of interest, fee, payment for redemption, conversion or exercise of the Securities, or otherwise, to any Purchaser or holder of Securities, for or as an inducement to, or in connection with the solicitation of, any consent, waiver or amendment to any terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Related Documents, unless such consideration is required to be paid to all Purchasers or holders of Securities bound by such consent, waiver or amendment. The Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem any Securities unless such offer of redemption is made pro rata to all Purchasers or holders of Securities, as the case may be, on identical terms.

5.13 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement or any Related Documents 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 such agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Related Documents, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any of 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 hereby or thereby. Each Purchaser confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other document contemplated hereby, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

The Company and its board of directors will take all necessary action in order to render inapplicable to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Purchasers immediately after the Closing (including the full number of shares acquirable by the Purchasers pursuant to the Warrants (without taking into account any provisions of the Warrants preventing exercise by the Purchasers)) that certain Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2000 between the Company and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Rights Agent, or any other stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company Date (the “Rights Agreement Amendment”) within thirty (30) business days following the Closing Date (the “Rights Agreement Amendment Deadline”).

The Seller’s and the Purchasers’ warranties and representations shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Seller or the Purchasers.

7.2 Indemnification.

(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Seller of any covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents (iii) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing.

(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (A) any breach or default in the performance by such Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; (B) any breach of warranty or representation made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; and (C) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that such Purchaser’s liability under this Section 7.2(b) shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

7.3 Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.

With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

This Agreement is personal to each of the parties and may not be assigned without the written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that any of the Purchasers shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to any Person to whom it assigns or transfers securities issued or issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Any assignee must be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

8.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason or to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall continue in full force and effect and in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements and instruments referenced herein constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

8.9 Other Remedies.

8.10 Amendment and Waivers. Subject to Section 5.12, any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the Seller and the Purchasers purchasing at least 75% of the Shares hereunder, and such waiver or amendment, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all Purchasers. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented by any party hereto except pursuant to a written amendment executed by the Seller and the Purchasers purchasing at least 75% of the Shares hereunder. No amendment shall be effected to impact a holder of Securities in a disproportionately adverse fashion without the consent of such individual holder.

8.11 No Waiver. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

8.12 Construction of Agreement; Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “knowledge,” when used in reference to a corporation means the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of such corporation (including, if applicable, any person designated as a chief scientific, medical or technical officer) assuming such persons shall have made inquiry that is customary and appropriate under the circumstances to which reference is made, and when used in reference to an individual means the knowledge of such individual assuming the individual shall have made inquiry that is customary and appropriate under the circumstances to which reference is made.

8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as signatories. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

8.14 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
