2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH BUYER.
Each Buyer represents and warrants with respect to only itself that:
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Buyer is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the
requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
applicable Transaction Documents (as defined below) and otherwise to carry out its obligations
thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of the
2
transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action
on the part of such Buyer. This Agreement has been duly executed by such Buyer, and when delivered
by such Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally, (b) as enforceability of any indemnification and contribution
provisions may be limited under the federal and state securities laws and public policy, and (c)
that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefor may be brought.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this
Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i)
result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii)
result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to such
Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or
violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.
(c) No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring the Warrants, and
(ii) upon exercise of the Warrants will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except (A) in connection with a Change of Control (as such
term is defined in the Warrant), or (B) pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933
Act, including, without limitation, sales in connection with a Hong Kong Initial Public Offering
(as defined below); provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Warrant Securities for any minimum or other specific
term and reserves the right to dispose of the Warrant Securities at any time in accordance with or
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. Such Buyer is acquiring
the Warrant Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Buyer does not
presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to
distribute any of the Warrant Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hong Kong
Initial Public Offering” means the first public offering of any class of securities of ENZO
pursuant to a listing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange provided that the market valuation of ENZO
upon completion of the offering and valued at the public offering price of the ENZO Common Stock is

securities exchange but in a jurisdiction other than Hong Kong, provided that the market valuation
of ENZO upon completion of the offering and valued at the public offering price of the ENZO Common
Stock is equal to or greater than US$300,000,000; and the term “Initial Public Offering” means
collectively a Hong Kong Initial Public Offering and an Other Jurisdiction Initial Public Offering.
3
(d) Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that
term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
(e) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Warrant Securities are
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements
of United States federal and state securities laws and that each of the Company and ENZO are
relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer
to acquire the Warrant Securities.
(f) Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that: (i) the Warrant Securities
have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and,
except in the event an Initial Public Offering or a Change of Control (as such term is defined in
the Warrant), may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently
registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to ENZO an opinion of counsel, in a
generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Warrant Securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(C) such Buyer provides ENZO with reasonable assurance that such Warrant Securities can be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as
amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”) or Regulation S under the 1933
Act, or (D) pursuant to a private placement or other exemption permitted under applicable law; (ii)
any sale of the Warrant Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with
the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Warrant
Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person (as defined in Section 3(e))
through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the
0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the SEC promulgated thereunder; and (iii) neither the
Company, ENZO nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Warrant Securities under
the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder. The Warrant Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin
account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Warrant Securities and such pledge of
Warrant Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Warrant
Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Warrant Securities shall be required to
provide the Company or ENZO with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company
or ENZO pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in 3(c)),
including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).
(g) Legends. Such Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments
representing the Warrants, except as set forth below, shall bear any legend as required by the
“blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a
stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

COMPLYING WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE

to the holder of the Warrant Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by
state securities laws, (i) such Warrant Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act,
(ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides ENZO with an
opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, (iii) such holder provides ENZO with reasonable
assurance that the Warrant Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or

fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, and free and clear of any and all liens,
charges, encumbrances, security interests, rights of first refusal or other restrictions of any
kind (“Liens”) with respect to the issue thereof. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized
and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Warrants , will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof. ENZO has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of

are being issued pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and all of the Purchased Shares are
freely transferable and tradable by the Buyers without restriction. The Company has not received
any notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop-order with respect to the Shelf

the Shelf Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened
in writing to do so. The “Plan of Distribution” section of the Shelf Registration Statement
permits the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares hereunder. Upon receipt of the Purchased
Shares, the Warrants and Warrant Shares, the Buyers will have good and marketable title to such
Purchased Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.

laws. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(h), no securities of the Company or ENZO are
entitled to preemptive or similar rights, and no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive
right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities and

commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is
or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or ENZO Common Stock, or securities
or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock or ENZO Common Stock. Except as
set forth in Schedule 3(h), the issue and sale of the Securities will not, immediately or
with the passage of time, obligate the Company or ENZO to issue shares of Common Stock or ENZO
Common Stock, respectively, or other securities to any Person (other than the Buyers) and will not
result in a right of any holder of Company or ENZO securities to adjust the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price of such securities.

Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any
notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in

believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business without a significant increase in cost, except for cost increases being experienced by
public companies in similar businesses and risk categories.
(q) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any director, officer or
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries associated with or, in the course of its actions

all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or
declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary
know of no basis for any such claim.

are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and
to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with

not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as
now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital
requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company,
together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after
taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to
incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory or consultancy fees, brokers’ commissions or
finder’s fee (other than for persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or

3(v). The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or
expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in
connection with any such claim. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged Worldwide Gateway

or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.

integrated with the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the 1933

any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly,
made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under
circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior
offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including,
without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system

Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

years preceding the date hereof, received notice (written or oral) from any Trading Market on which
the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in
compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is
currently in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements and has no reason to
believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be (except as a result of a failure
in the future to comply with minimum trading price requirements), in compliance with all such
listing and maintenance requirements. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not
contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and no approval of the stockholders of
the Company is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Buyers the maximum number of

combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter
documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the

their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s
issuance of the Securities and the Buyers’ ownership of the Securities.

reasonably objects.
(iii) None of the Company, ENZO, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall identify any Buyer as an
underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the SEC, the

SEC or equivalent applicable authority shall not relieve the Company or ENZO of any obligations
they have under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(iv) The Company and ENZO shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning a Buyer provided to ENZO unless (i) the disclosure of such information is necessary to

information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or

available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. ENZO agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning
a Buyer is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt written notice to such Buyer and allow such Buyer,
at the Buyer’s expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such
information.
(v) ENZO shall cooperate with the Buyers who hold Warrant Shares being offered in the Initial
Public Offering and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely

certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Buyers may
reasonably request and registered in such names as the Buyers may request.

necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyers
at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the
states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide
evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company
shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing
Date.

(i) Until the date on which the Buyers shall have sold all the Purchased Shares, the Company
shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the

even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such
termination.

Buyers shall have sold all the Warrant Shares and none of the Warrants is outstanding, ENZO shall
timely file all reports required to be filed in Hong Kong, or in any other applicable jurisdiction

(iii) The Company or ENZO, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Buyers in the event of any
non-compliance by the Company or ENZO, respectively, of Sections 4(d)(i) or (ii).

Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which
the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such
listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction
Documents. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be
reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal
Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations
under this Section 4(e).

equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or
other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances,
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of ENZO Common Stock or ENZO Common

Party”), shall have first complied with this Section 4(j)(iii).
(1) The Offering Party shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (the “Offer
Notice”) of any bona fide proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of
the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Company Subsequent Placement or
ENZO Subsequent Placement, as the case may be, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and
describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are
to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the
25

identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities
are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange

(2) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice
to the Offering Party prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such
Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the amount that such
Buyer elects to purchase (the “Notice of Acceptance”).
(3) The Offering Party shall have ten (10) Business Days from the expiration of the
Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered
Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the “Refused
Securities”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described
therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and
interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring person or persons or less
favorable to the Offering Party than those set forth in the Offer Notice.
(4) In the event the Offering Party shall propose to sell less than all the Refused
Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section
4(j)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance
to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that
such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(j)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a
fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the
Offering Party actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to
be issued or sold to the Buyers pursuant to Section 4(j)(iii)(3) above prior to such
reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered
Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered
Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Offering Party may not issue, sell or
exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until
such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section
4(j)(iii)(1) above.
(5) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the
Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from the Offering Party, and the Offering Party
shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the
Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(j)(iii)(3) above if the Buyers have
so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the
Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and
delivery by the Offering Party and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such
Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyers and their
respective counsel.
26
(6) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other persons in accordance
with Section 4(h)(iii)(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again
offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(iv) The restrictions contained in subsection (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4(j) shall not
apply with respect to any Excluded Securities.
(k) Conduct of ENZO Business. In the event that (i) the ENZO Business is conducted
in a company other than ENZO, or its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (such other
company, the “ENZO Business Successor”), the Warrant shall become exercisable for common equity of
such ENZO Business Successor, and all references in the Warrant to ENZO shall instead apply,
without limitation, to the ENZO Business Successor, (ii) the Company or ENZO conducts a public
offering of any class of securities of a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ENZO where a
significant portion of the ENZO Business is conducted (the “ENZO Subsidiary”), the Warrant shall
become exercisable for common equity of such ENZO Subsidiary, and all references in the Warrant to
ENZO shall instead apply, without limitation, to the ENZO Subsidiary, or (iii) if ENZO is
indirectly subject to an Initial Public Offering or a Change of Control (as such term is defined in
the Warrant) through an entity (the “ENZO Parent”) which, directly or indirectly, owns or controls
a significant portion of the ENZO Business, the Warrant shall become exercisable for common equity

securities clearing company, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for
the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company and
ENZO in writing upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company represents and warrants that the
Securities shall be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company and/or ENZO, as the
case may be, as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that a Buyer shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining
any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security being required.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the

internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of

cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding
is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party
at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall

X. Xxxxxxxxx, P.C., 0000 XXX Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile No.:
(000) 000-0000, Telephone No.: (000) 000-0000, as its agent for the receipt of service of process
in connection with any action pursuant to any Transaction Document in the United States. Each of
the Company and ENZO agrees that any document may be effectively served on it in connection with
any action, suit or proceeding in the United States by service on its agents.
Any document shall be deemed to have been duly served if marked for the attention of the agent
at its address (as set out above) or such other address in the United States as may be notified to
the party wishing to serve the document and delivered in accordance with the notice provisions set
forth in this Section 9(f).
If the Company’s and ENZO’s agent at any time ceases for any reason to act as such, the
Company shall appoint a replacement agent having an address for service in the United States and
shall notify each Buyer in writing of the name and address of the replacement agent. Failing such
appointment and notification, each Buyer shall be entitled by notice to the Company and ENZO to
appoint a replacement agent to act on the Company’s and ENZO’s behalf. The provisions of this
Section 9(f) applying to service on an agent apply equally to service on a
32
replacement agent.
(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers (but
excluding open-market purchasers) of the Purchased Shares or the Warrants. Neither the Company nor
ENZO shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the holders of Purchased Shares representing at least a majority of the number of the
Purchased Shares, including by merger or consolidation. A Buyer may assign some or all of its
rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed
to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights. Each of the Buyers agrees to provide
the Company and ENZO with written notice of any assignment of its rights hereunder.
(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the
representations and warranties of the Company and ENZO and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3
and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing and the
delivery and exercise of the Securities, as applicable. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for
its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and
performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in
order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification. (i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of
the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the
Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, each of the Company and ENZO shall
jointly and severally defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each person, if
any, who controls such Buyer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act and each other holder of the Securities and all of their shareholders, partners, members,
officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’
agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against
any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities
and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a
party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a
result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company or ENZO in the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company or ENZO
33
contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) the Initial Public Offering, or (d) any cause of action, suit
or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party that is not an Affiliate of such
Indemnitee (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and
arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the status of such Buyer
or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company or ENZO, as the case may be. To the
extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company and ENZO may be unenforceable for any reason,
each of the Company and ENZO shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding)
involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, provided, however, that a
failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under Section 9(k)(i) except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and provided further that the failure
to so notify the indemnifying person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an
Indemnitee otherwise than under Section 9(k)(i) and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an
Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more
than one counsel for such Indemnitee (in addition to any local counsel) to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, the representation by such
counsel of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall
be selected by the Buyers. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such
Indemnified Liabilities or litigation without any admission or finding of fault or failure to act
on the part of an Indemnitee.
(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
34
(iv) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (x) any cause of
action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the indemnifying party or others, and (y) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities for whom this Agreement
shall become binding pursuant to Section 9(g) hereof, shall have all rights and remedies set forth
in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at
any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under
any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to
seek to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover
damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights
granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform,
observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at
law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers
shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the
necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
(n) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company or ENZO, as applicable, does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods
therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time
upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or
exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or
otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(p) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
35
of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed
to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with
respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction
contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer 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 Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for
any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
