4.3. Securities Laws.
(a) The Buyer is purchasing the Series B Preferred Stock for
investment purposes and not with a view to the sale or distribution, by public
or private sale or other disposition, and the Buyer has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing or disposing of
any of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(b) Investment Representations. The Buyer has reviewed the
periodic and current reports filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
Buyer has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
from the Company's management, and the Buyer has been given full and complete
access to all available information and data relating to the business and assets
of the Company and has obtained such additional information about the Company as
the Buyer has deemed necessary in order to evaluate the opportunities, both
financial and otherwise, with respect to the Company and, except as set forth
herein, has not relied on any representation, warranty or other statement
concerning the Company and its evaluation of the decision to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein. In its judgment, the Buyer is sufficiently
familiar with the Company to enable the Buyer to proceed with the transactions
contemplated hereby.
11
(c) The Buyer understands that except as may be effected
pursuant to Buyer's piggyback registration rights, the sale and resale of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been and are not being registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and such
shares may not be transferred unless (a) the resale of the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock has been registered thereunder; or (b) the Buyer shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be
sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (c) the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock are sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act.
(d) The Buyer is an "accredited investor," as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended .
(e) The Buyer is a sophisticated investor familiar with the
type of risks inherent in the acquisition of securities such as the shares of
the Company and the Buyer's financial position is such that the Buyer can afford
to retain its shares of Company Series B Preferred Stock for an indefinite
period of time without realizing any direct or indirect cash return on its
investment.
4.4. Convertible Debentures. The Buyer is the sole owner of all
right, title and interest in and to the Convertible Debenture and the Buyer owns
the Convertible Debenture free and clear of all Encumbrances.

notify the other parties in writing of the occurrence, or threatened occurrence,

Company will promptly notify the Buyer of any event that could have a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or prospects of the
Company. The Company shall have the right to update the Schedules to this

hereunder.

collectively called the "Company Indemnitor") shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Buyer, its direct and indirect parent corporations, subsidiaries
and affiliates, their officers, members, directors, employees, attorneys and
agents (hereinafter collectively called "Buyer Indemnitees") against and in
respect of any and all loss, damage, liability, fine, penalty, cost and expense,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts paid in settlement
(collectively, "Buyer Losses"), suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee by
reason of, or arising out of:
14
(a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach or
nonfulfillment of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Company contained
in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, instrument or document
delivered to Buyer by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement (without regard to materiality thresholds contained therein); and
(b) any liabilities of the Company of any nature whatsoever
(including tax liability, penalties and interest), whether accrued, absolute,
contingent or otherwise, (i) existing as of the date of the 2004 Company Balance
Sheet, and required to be shown therein in accordance with GAAP, to the extent
not reflected or reserved against in full in the 2004 Company Balance Sheet; or
(ii) arising or occurring between March 31, 2004 and the Closing Date, except
for liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which shall
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
(c) Indemnification by Buyer. The Buyer (hereinafter called
the "Buyer Indemnitor") shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its direct and indirect parent corporations, subsidiaries and affiliates, their
officers, members, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (hereinafter
called "Company Indemnitee") against and in respect of any and all loss, damage,
liability, cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts
paid in settlement (collectively, "Company Losses"), suffered or incurred by
Company Indemnitee by reason of or arising out of any misrepresentation, breach
of warranty or breach or non-fulfillment of any material covenant, obligation or
agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any other certificate,
schedule, instrument or document delivered to the Company by or on behalf of
Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (without regard to
materiality thresholds contained therein).
9.2. Defense of Claims.
(a) Each party seeking indemnification hereunder (an
"Indemnitee"): (i) shall provide the other party or parties (the "Indemnitor")
written notice of any claim or action by a third party for which an Indemnitor
may be liable under the terms of this Agreement, within ten (10) days after such
claim or action arises and is known to Indemnitee, and (ii) shall give the
Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to participate in any proceedings and to
settle or defend any such claim or action. The expenses of all proceedings,
contests or lawsuits with respect to such claims or actions shall be borne by
the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor wishes to assume the defense of such claim or
action, the Indemnitor shall give written notice to the Indemnitee within ten
(10) days after notice from the Indemnitee of such claim or action, and the
Indemnitor shall thereafter assume the defense of any such claim or liability,
through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, provided that
Indemnitee may participate in such defense at their own expense, and the
Indemnitor shall, in any event, have the right to control the defense of the
claim or action. The failure of an Indemnitee to give any notice required by
this Section shall not affect any of such party's rights under this Section or
otherwise, except and to the extent that such failure is actually prejudicial to
the rights or obligations of the Indemnitor.
(b) If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of, or if
after so assuming it shall fail to defend, any such claim or action, the
Indemnitee may defend against any such claim or action in such manner as they
may deem appropriate and the Indemnitees may settle such claim or litigation on
such terms as they may deem appropriate but subject to the Indemnitor's
approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that
any such settlement shall be deemed approved by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor
fails to object thereto, by written notice to the Indemnitee, within fifteen
(15) days after the Indemnitor's receipt of a written summary of such
settlement. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the
amount of all expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with the defense and settlement of such claim or action.
15
(c) If a non-appealable judgment is rendered against any
Indemnitee in any action covered by the indemnification hereunder, or any lien
attaches to any of the assets of any of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall
immediately upon such entry or attachment pay such judgment in full or discharge
such lien unless, at the expense and direction of the Indemnitor, an appeal is
taken under which the execution of the judgment or satisfaction of the lien is
stayed. If and when a final judgment is rendered in any such action, the
Indemnitor shall forthwith pay such judgment or discharge such lien before any
Indemnitee is compelled to do so.
9.3. Waiver. The failure of any Indemnitee to give any notice or to
take any action hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of
such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that Indemnitor is actually
prejudiced by such failure.
10. TERMINATION.
10.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time on
or prior to the Closing:
(a) By mutual consent of Buyer and the Company; or

termination ("Termination Notice") pursuant to this SECTION 10 shall be given by
the party electing termination of this Agreement ("Terminating Party") to the
other party or parties (collectively, the "Terminated Party"), and such notice
shall state the reason for termination. The party or parties receiving
Termination Notice shall have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of
Termination Notice to cure the matters giving rise to such termination to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Terminating Party. If the matters giving rise to
termination are not cured as required hereby, this Agreement shall be terminated
effective as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the
Terminated Party's receipt of Termination Notice. Upon termination of this
Agreement prior to the consummation of the Closing and in accordance with the
terms hereof, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect, and none of the
parties shall have any liability to the others, except that nothing contained
herein shall relieve any party from: (a) its obligations under SECTIONS 2.1 AND
2.2; or (b) liability for its intentional breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant contained herein, or its intentional failure to comply with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement or to perform its obligations hereunder.

notice to the Buyer in the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of
failure to consummate the transaction contemplated by the HYTT Agreement by
fault of any party other than the Company.

Schedules hereto shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. This Agreement shall

preclude any other future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or remedy. No waiver by any party hereto to any breach of or default in
any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of or assent
to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or
condition hereof.
