reasonably possible a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus
as may be necessary so that, as when delivered (if required by the
Securities Act) to a purchaser of Registrable Warrant Shares, such

withdrawal of such order; and
(xiv) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
cause such Registrable Warrant Shares covered by the Registration
Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Buyer thereof

or state of facts relating to the Company, in each case which is material to
the Company (any such negotiation, step, event or state of facts being herein
called a "Material Activity"), (ii) such Material Activity would, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company reasonably acceptable to Buyer, require
disclosure so as to permit the Registrable
-8-

Warrant Shares to be sold in compliance with applicable law, and (iii) such
disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, be adverse to its
interests in any material respect. The Company shall have no obligation to

description of the facts based upon which the Company is delivering such
notice.

of counsel), joint or several, to which the Buyer or any such director,
Affiliate or officer or participating or controlling person may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with or as a
result of a sale by the Buyer of the Registrable Warrant Shares, insofar

contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement
to the Registration Statement, or any document incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement, or (ii) any omission to state in any such

necessary to make the statements in any such document not misleading,
and the Company will reimburse the Buyer and each such director,
Affiliate, officer, participating person and controlling person for any
legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense (or action or proceeding in respect of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense) which arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement, any
such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus,

participating person or controlling person for use in the preparation of
the Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Buyer or any such director, Affiliate, officer, participating person or
controlling person and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Warrant

same manner and to the same extent as set forth in clause (i) of this
subparagraph (f)) the Company, each director of the Company, each

furnished to the Company by the Buyer for use in the preparation of the
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Such indemnity shall

ARTICLE IX
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties
hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or
document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any party, until the first anniversary of
the Closing Date (the "Survival Date"). No action may be brought with respect
to a breach of any representation after the Survival Date unless, prior to such
time, the party seeking to bring such an action has notified the other party of
such claim, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the loss suffered.
The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall have no effect upon any of the
covenants of the parties set forth in Article V or any of the other obligations
of the parties hereto under the Agreement, whether to be performed later, at or
after the Closing.
9.2 Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of
action, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, "Damages"), asserted
against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by Buyer, directly or
indirectly, by reason of or resulting from any breach by the Company of any of
its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this
Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant
hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company's indemnity obligations hereunder (i) will not extend to Damages
arising out of negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Buyer, and (ii)
with respect to indemnification claims under this Section 9.2 (other than, for
each of (i) and (ii), Damages related to the ability of the Buyer to exercise
the Warrants, receive the Warrant Shares, effect the registration of the
Warrant Shares or sell the Warrant Shares), the Company's indemnification
obligations (x) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, shall not
arise until the aggregate claims resulting from the breach exceed $1,000,000,
at which time such indemnity obligations shall cover all claims, and (y) after
two (2) years following the Closing, shall not arise until the aggregate claims
during such period resulting from the breach exceed $10,000,000, at which time
such indemnity obligations shall cover all claims.
9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the Company from and against any and all Damages asserted
against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Company, directly or
indirectly, by reason of or resulting from any breach by Buyer of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this
Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant
hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer's
indemnity obligations hereunder (i) will not extend to Damages arising out of
negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Company, and (ii) with respect
to indemnification claims under this Section 9.3, the Buyer's indemnification
obligations (x) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, shall not
arise until the aggregate claims resulting from the breach exceed $1,000,000,
at which time such indemnity obligations shall cover all claims, and (y) after
two (2) years following the Closing, shall not
-15-
16
arise until the aggregate claims during such period resulting from the breach
exceed $10,000,000, at which time such indemnity obligations shall cover all
claims.
9.4 Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under Section 9.2 or 9.3 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give written notice to
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may
have to any indemnified party except to the extent the indemnifying party
demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced thereby. In case
any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give
written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to
assume the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense
thereof. If the indemnifying party elects not to assume (or fails to assume)
the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume
the defense of such action with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of
the indemnifying party. If the action is asserted against both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party and there is a conflict of
interests which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall
be responsible for paying for separate counsel for the indemnified party;
provided, however, that if there is more than one indemnified party, the
indemnifying party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one
separate firm of attorneys to represent the indemnified parties, regardless of
the number of indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall have no
liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of any action effected
without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
