DRAW DOWN TERMS
DRAW DOWN TERMS
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, the
parties agree as follows:
Section 3.1 Draw Down Notice. During the Commitment Period, the Company may, in its
sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice (as hereinafter defined) which shall specify the dollar
amount the Company intends to raise from the Investor from the sale of Common Stock hereunder (each
such capital raising transaction, a “Draw Down”) up to a Draw Down Amount equal to the
Maximum Draw Down Amount. The Investor shall be obligated to accept each Draw Down initiated by
the Company, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. The Company shall inform
the Investor in writing by sending a duly completed notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto
(each, a “Draw Down Notice”) by e-mail to the addresses set forth in Section 10.4, with a
copy to the Investor’s counsel, as to such Draw Down Amount before commencement of trading on the
first Trading Day of the related Draw Down Pricing Period. In addition to the Draw Down Amount,
each Draw Down Notice shall designate the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. In no
event shall any Draw Down Amount exceed the Maximum Draw Down Amount. Each Draw Down Notice shall
be accompanied by a certificate,
- 6 -
signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, dated as of the date of such
Draw Down Notice, in the form of Exhibit D hereof.
Section 3.2 Number of Shares. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of Shares to be
issued in connection with each Draw Down shall be equal to the sum of the number of shares issuable
on each Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of
shares issuable on a Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period shall be equal to the quotient
of one eighth (1/8th) of the Draw Down Amount divided by the Draw Down Discount Price for such
Trading Day.
Section 3.3 Limitation on Draw Downs. Only one Draw Down shall be permitted for each
Draw Down Pricing Period.
Section 3.4 Trading Cushion. Unless the parties agree in writing otherwise, there
shall be a minimum of three (3) Trading Days between the expiration of any Draw Down Pricing Period
and the beginning of the next succeeding Draw Down Pricing Period.
Section 3.5 Settlement. The number of Shares purchased by the Investor in any Draw
Down shall be determined and settled on two separate dates. Shares purchased by the Investor
during the first four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled
no later than the sixth Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period. Shares purchased by the
Investor during the second four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined
and settled no later than the second Trading Day after the last Trading Day of such Draw Down
Pricing Period. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares occurs hereunder
being referred to as a “Settlement Date.” The Investor shall provide the Company with
delivery instructions for the Shares to be issued at each Settlement Date at least two Trading Days
in advance of such Settlement Date. The number of Shares actually issued shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole number of Shares.
Section 3.6 Delivery of Shares; Payment of Draw Down Amount.
(a) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor to
the Investor or its designees exclusively via book-entry through the DTC to an account designated
by the Investor, and upon receipt of the Shares, the Investor shall cause payment thereof to be
made to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the
Shares are received by the Investor no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or next day available
funds, if the Shares are received thereafter. Upon the written request of the Company, the
Investor will cause its banker to confirm to the Company that the Investor has provided irrevocable
instructions to cause payment for the Shares to be made as set forth above, upon confirmation by
such banker that the Shares have been delivered through the DTC in unrestricted form.
(b) For each Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period on which the VWAP is less than the
greater of: (i) 90% of the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the commencement of such Draw Down Pricing Period, (ii) $2.00 or (iii) the
price specified by the Company in the applicable Draw Down Notice, such Trading Day shall not be
used in calculating the number of Shares to be
- 7 -
issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw
Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount
specified in the Draw Down Notice. If trading in the Company’s Common Stock is suspended for any
reason for more than three (3) consecutive or non-consecutive hours during trading hours on the
Principal Market on any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period, such Trading Day shall be
disregarded in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and
the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth
(1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice. In addition, in the
event that the Company delivers a Blackout Notice to the Investor at any time on or after the date
that a Draw Down Notice is delivered, each Trading Day during the applicable Draw Down Pricing
Period after the delivery of such Blackout Notice shall be disregarded (subject to waiver by the
Investor) for the purposes of calculating the number of Shares to be issued in respect of the
applicable Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be
reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice for
each such Trading Day that is so disregarded. For the avoidance of doubt, any Trading Day that is
disregarded for the purposes of calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with a
Draw Down in accordance with the foregoing shall only reduce such number of Shares by one eighth
(1/8th), notwithstanding that such Trading Day may be so disregarded for more than one of the
reasons specified above.
Section 3.7 Failure to Deliver Shares. If on any Settlement Date, the Company fails
to cause the delivery of the Shares purchased by the Investor, and such failure is not cured within
two (2) Trading Days following such Settlement Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor on
demand in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Investor the “Make Whole Amount;” provided, however, that in the event that the Company is
prevented from delivering Shares in respect of any such Settlement Date in a timely manner by any
fact or circumstance that is not reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the
Company, or is otherwise reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the
Investor, then such two (2) Trading Day period shall be automatically extended until such time as
such fact or circumstance is cured. As used herein, the Make Whole Amount shall be an amount equal
to the sum of (i) the Draw Down Amount actually paid by the Investor in respect of such Shares plus
(ii) an amount equal to the actual loss suffered by the Investor in respect of sales to subsequent
purchasers (taking into account the return of the Draw Down Amount made under clause (i)), pursuant
to transactions entered into before the Settlement Date, of the Shares that were required to be
delivered by the Company, which shall be based upon documentation reasonably satisfactory to the
Company demonstrating the difference (if greater than zero) between (A) the price per share paid by
the Investor to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock necessary for the Investor to meet
its share delivery obligations to such subsequent purchasers minus (B) the average Draw Down
Discount Price during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period. In the event that the Make Whole
Amount is not paid within two (2) Trading Days following a demand therefor from the Investor, the
Make Whole Amount shall accrue annual interest (on the basis of the 365 day year) compounded daily
at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of interest then in effect as published by the
Wall Street Journal plus three percent (3%) and (ii) ten percent (10%), up to and including the
date on which the Make Whole Amount is actually paid. For the purposes of this Section 3.7 facts
or circumstances that
- 8 -
are reasonably within the control of the Company include such facts and circumstances solely
attributable to acts or omissions of the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives, including, without limitation, any transfer agent(s) and/or accountant(s) engaged
by the Company in connection with the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Company
pays the Make Whole Amount (plus interest, if applicable) in respect of any Settlement Date in
accordance with this Section 3.7, such payment shall be the Investor’s sole remedy in respect of
the Company’s failure to deliver Shares in respect of such Settlement Date, and the Company shall
not be obligated to deliver such Shares.
Section 3.8 Special Issue Right. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article III and the
conditions set forth in Article VII, at any time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on
October 1, 2009, the Company may deliver a Draw Down Notice to the Investor indicating that it is
exercising its right pursuant to this Section 3.8 (the “Special Issue Right”) to effect a
Draw Down with a Maximum Draw Down Amount equal to the lesser of (i) $4 million and (ii) 3.5% of
the Company’s Market Capitalization as of the date of delivery of such Draw Down Notice and a Draw
Down Discount Price equal to 90% of the VWAP on each Trading Day during the associated Draw Down
Pricing Period used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw
Down under the limitations set forth in Section 3.6(b). The Company may not exercise the Special
Issue Right more than one time.
ARTICLE IV

Disclosure Schedule and except as permitted by Section 6.6, during the term of this Agreement, the
Company shall not enter into any Prohibited Transaction without the prior written consent of the
Investor, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Investor. For the purposes
of this Agreement, the term “Prohibited Transaction” shall refer to the issuance by the
Company of any “future priced securities,” which shall mean the issuance of shares of Common Stock
or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into
shares of Common Stock where the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common Stock is
determined using any floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the market
price of Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to any equity line or other
financing, including, without limitation, any financing that is substantially similar to the
financing provided for under this Agreement, provided that any future issuance by the Company of
(i) a convertible security (“Convertible Security”) that (A) contains provisions that
adjust the conversion price of such Convertible Security in the event of stock splits, dividends,
distributions, reclassifications or similar events or pursuant to anti-dilution provisions or (B)
is issued in connection with the Company obtaining debt financing for research and development
purposes where the issuance of Convertible Securities is conditioned upon the Company meeting
certain defined clinical milestones, (ii) securities in a registered direct public offering or an
unregistered private placement where the price per share of such securities is fixed concurrently
with the execution of definitive documentation relating to the offering or placement, as applicable
and (iii) securities issued in connection with a secured debt financing, shall not be a Prohibited
Transaction.
Section 6.8 Corporate Existence. The Company shall take all steps necessary to
preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in
this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from engaging in any Excluded Merger or Sale
with another Person, subject to the terms of the Warrant.
Section 6.9 Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information. Subject to Section 6.10 below,
except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Warrant, none of the Company, its officers, directors, employees nor agents shall disclose material
non-public information to the Investor, its advisors or representatives.
- 20 -
Section 6.10 Notice of Certain Events Affecting Registration; Suspension of Right to
Request a Draw Down. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor upon the occurrence of any
of the following events in respect of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus related to the
offer, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares hereunder: (i) receipt of any request
for material additional information by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
authority or for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (to the
extent related to the resale of Registrable Securities) during the period of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state
governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and (iii) receipt of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time. The Company shall
not be required to disclose to the Investor the substance or specific reasons of any of the events
set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 6.10, only that the
event has occurred. The Company shall not request a Draw Down during the continuation of any of
the foregoing events.
Section 6.11 Amendments to the Registration Statement. After the Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, (a) the Company shall not file any
amendment to the Registration Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (to
the extent related to the resale of Registrable Securities) of which the Investor shall not have
been previously or be simultaneously advised; provided, however, that the Company shall, to the
extent it deems advisable, and without the prior consent of or notice to the Investor, supplement
the Prospectus within two Trading Days following the Settlement Date for each Draw Down solely to
reflect the issuance of Shares with respect to such Draw Down; and provided further that the
Company need not advise the Investor regarding any supplement the purpose of which is to update the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus to include information the Company has previously filed
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and (b) so long as, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, a Prospectus is required to be delivered in
connection with sales of the Shares by the Investor, if the Company files any information,
documents or reports that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement pursuant to
the Exchange Act, the Company shall, if requested in writing by the Investor, deliver a copy of
such information, documents or reports to the Investor promptly following such filing to the extent
such information, documents or reports are not available on the Commission’s IDEA filing system.
Section 6.12 Prospectus Delivery. From time to time for such period as in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be
delivered in connection with sales by the Investor, the Company will expeditiously deliver to the
Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement
thereto related to sales by the Investor) as the Investor may reasonably request. Subject to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any
amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the
- 21 -
Securities Act and state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the
Shares and the Warrant Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required
by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares and the Warrant
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be under any obligation to
supplement the Prospectus or to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw Down or
deliver any Prospectus as so supplemented at any time prior to the Trading Day following the
Settlement Date with respect to such Shares.

which a Draw Down Notice is delivered) as of the Settlement Date.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
TERMINATION
Section 8.1 Term. Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 below,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the Commitment
Period or (ii) the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement in an amount equal to the Maximum
Commitment Amount.
Section 8.2 Other Termination.
(a) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon (x) one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the
Company enters into any Prohibited Transaction as set forth in Section 6.7 without the Investor’s
prior written consent, or (y) one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the Investor provides written notice
of a Material Adverse Effect to the Company, and such Material Adverse Effect continues for a
period of ten (10) Trading Days after the receipt by the Company of such notice.
(b) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice to the Company
at any time in the event that the Registration Statement is not initially declared effective in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, provided, however, that in the event the
Registration Statement is declared effective prior to the delivery of such notice, the Investor
shall thereafter have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(b).
(c) The Company may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice; provided,
however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) during
any Draw Down Pricing Period; provided further, that, in the event of any termination of this
Agreement by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2(c), so long as the Investor owns Shares
purchased hereunder and/or Warrant Shares, unless all of such shares of Common Stock may be resold
by the Investor without registration and without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to
Rule 144(b) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, the Company shall
not suspend or withdraw the Registration Statement or otherwise cause the Registration Statement to
become ineffective, or voluntarily delist the Common Stock from, the Principal Market without
listing the Common Stock on another Principal Market.
(d) Each of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice
if the other party has breached a material representation, warranty or covenant to this Agreement
and such breach is not remedied within ten (10) Trading Days after notice of such breach is
delivered to the breaching party.
Section 8.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the
Investor, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party. If this
Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1 or 8.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void
and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 10.13. Nothing in this Section
8.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for any
- 24 -
breach under this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or to impair the rights of
the Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations
under this Agreement arising prior to such termination.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Indemnification.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section
9.2, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising
out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement (except as otherwise
specifically provided) by the Company in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Article IX to an
Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by an
Investor Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Investor
Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or
the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of an Investor Indemnified Party.
The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be
net of insurance proceeds (which the Investor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
recover or to cause any Investor Indemnified Party to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the
Company is required to pay to any Investor Indemnified Party hereunder (a “Company Indemnity
Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of any
Investor Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if an Investor
Indemnified Party receives a Company Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of
any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Investor will pay, or
will cause such other Investor Indemnified Party to pay, to the Company an amount equal to the
Company Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Company Indemnity Payment that would have
been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Company
Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section
9.2, the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted
by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising out of any
breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Investor in this Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided, however, that the Investor shall not be
liable under this Article IX to a Company Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages
resulted or arose from the breach by a Company Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of a Company Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement or the Warrant or the negligence,
- 25 -
recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company Indemnified Party. The parties
intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of
insurance proceeds (which the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover or
to cause any Company Indemnified Party to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Investor is
required to pay to any Company Indemnified Party hereunder (an “Investor Indemnity
Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on
behalf of any Company Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if a
Company Indemnified Party receives an Investor Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in
respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Company
Indemnified Party will pay, or will cause such other Company Indemnified Party to pay, to the
Investor an amount equal to the Investor Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Investor
Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or
recovered before the Investor Indemnity Payment was made.
Section 9.2 Notification of Claims for Indemnification. Each party entitled to
indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly after the
receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of
which indemnity may be sought from the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under
this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
commencement thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure
of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other
than pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under this Article IX unless, and only to the extent that,
such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or
the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below shall govern the
procedures for the handling of indemnification claims.
(a) Any claim for indemnification for Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim as
defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does
not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have
refused to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 9.1. If such Indemnifying
Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in
part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement.
(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a
person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or claim
(collectively a “Third Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be
obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party
written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.
(c) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has
specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such
- 26 -
Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party
Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if
the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the
Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such
Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in
whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this
Agreement. In case any such Third Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and
it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at
its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on
the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become,
a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its
own defense of such claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party,
either (x) one or more significant defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not
available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the
Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make
such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that in such circumstances the
Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to
all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel incurred in any such Third Party Claim, as such expenses are incurred,
provided that the Indemnified Parties agree to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined
that the Indemnifying Party was not obligated to provide indemnification under this Article IX.
The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or
threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party
thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of a claim effected against an Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying
Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any
Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing
in this Article IX shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek
equitable relief.

and the Investor, on the other hand, agree to indemnify the other against and hold the other
harmless from any and all liabilities to any Persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder’s
fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

on five (5) Trading Days prior written notice to the other party. In such event, the Registration
Rights Agreement will terminate simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement; provided
that in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance with this Section
10.8 and the Warrant Shares either have not been registered for resale by the Investor in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or are otherwise not freely tradable (if and when
issued) in accordance with applicable law, then the Registration Rights Agreement in respect of the
registration of the Warrant Shares shall remain in full force and effect.
