conditions of this Agreement, upon execution and delivery hereof by the

that they are "accredited investors," as that term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
or who have otherwise been qualified as investors by the Company. All

emergency.

obligations of any Subscriber hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to
the net proceeds to such Subscriber from Registrable Securities sold under such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document as
contemplated herein; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Subscriber, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
(f) Each
party entitled to indemnification under this Section (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the
“Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge
of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall
conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall
be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party’s expense; and provided further that if any Indemnified Party reasonably
concludes that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are
not available to the Indemnifying Party, or that such claim or litigation
involves or could have an effect on matters beyond the scope of this Agreement,
then the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations under this Agreement unless and only to the extent that such
failure to give notice results in material prejudice to the Indemnifying
Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information
regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may
reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection
with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
11
(g) If
the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying
Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(h) The
Registrable Securities, and any related benefits to the Subscriber hereunder may
be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber to a permitted transferee or
assignee, provided that the Company is given written notice of such transfer or
assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and
identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned; provided further that the transferee
or assignee of such Registrable Securities shall be deemed to have assumed the
obligations of the Subscriber under this Agreement by the acceptance of such
assignment and shall, upon request from the Company, evidence such assumption by
delivery to the Company of a written agreement assuming such obligations of the
Subscriber.
(i) Subscriber
covenants and agrees that such Subscriber will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to such Subscriber in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
statement required hereunder.
