the Commission to notify the Company of the
Commission's willingness to declare the Registration
Statement effective within 75 days after the
Registration Statement is filed by the Company;
(c) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to the Registration

therewith as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement effective until the earlier of
(i) two years after the effective date of the
Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which the
Shares may be resold by the Purchasers without
registration by reason of Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect;
-11-
(d) furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Shares
registered under the Registration Statement (and to
each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number
of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as
the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of
all or any of the Shares by the Purchaser; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the obligation of the Company to
deliver copies of prospectuses to the Purchaser shall
be subject to the receipt by the Company of
reasonable assurances from the Purchaser that the
Purchaser will comply with the applicable provisions
of the Securities Act and of such other securities or
blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with
any use of such prospectuses;
(e) file documents required of the Company for normal
blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by
the Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company
shall not be required to qualify to do business or
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in
which it is not now so qualified or has not so
consented; and
(f) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures
in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this Section 7.1 and
the registration of the Shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses,
if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser
or the Other Purchasers or underwriting discounts,
brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the
Purchaser or the Other Purchasers, if any.
7.2 TRANSFER OF SHARES AFTER REGISTRATION. The Purchaser
agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to
purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the
Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to
in Section 7.1, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser
or its plan of distribution.
7.3 INDEMNIFICATION. For the purpose of this Section 7.3:
(i) the term "Purchaser/Affiliate" shall mean any
affiliates of the Purchaser and any person who
controls the Purchaser or any affiliate of the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and
(ii) the term "Registration Statement" shall include any
final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment
included in or relating to, and any document
incorporated by reference in, the Registration
Statement referred to in Section 7.1.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of
the Purchasers and each Purchaser/Affiliate, against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or
-12-
expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchasers or such
Purchaser/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law
or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is
effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as
contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, including the prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all
other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part
thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A,
or pursuant to Rule 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the prospectus, in the
form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations,
or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if
no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the "Prospectus"), or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on
any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations
hereunder or under law, and will reimburse each Purchaser and each such
Purchaser/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are
reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or such Purchaser/Affiliate in connection
with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, expense or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (ii)
the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements
contained in Sections 5(h) or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, or
(iii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Purchaser herein or
(iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any
subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent
sale or sales by the Purchaser.
(b) Each Purchaser will severally, but not jointly, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any
litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such
Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or
actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon
(i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in
Sections 5(h) or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares or (ii) the
inaccuracy of any representation made by such
-13-
Purchaser herein or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment
or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser expressly for use
therein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any
legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or
controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an
indemnifying party under this Section 7.3 promptly notify the indemnifying party
in writing thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for
contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 7.3 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure.
In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such
indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party,
the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent
that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict
of interest, based upon the advice of such indemnified party's counsel, between
the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting
the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses
and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party in the case
of paragraph (a), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such
action, plus local counsel, if appropriate) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall
not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a
-14-
reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the
indemnifying party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is
required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or
otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs
(a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying
party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Purchaser from the placement of the Common Stock
contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the
statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in
this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such
Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by
such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to
the difference (the "Difference") between the amount such Purchaser paid for the
Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount
received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the
inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to
information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending
any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section
7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or
action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this
paragraph (d); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no additional notice shall be required
with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under
paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and each Purchaser
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, no
Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant
to this Section 7.3 are several and not joint.
-15-
7.4 TERMINATION OF CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS. The conditions
precedent imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7 upon the transferability of the
Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares upon
the passage of two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement
covering such Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in
form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that
such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.
7.5 INFORMATION AVAILABLE. So long as the Registration
Statement is effective covering the resale of Shares owned by the Purchaser, the
Company will furnish to the Purchaser:
(a) as soon as practicable (but in the case of the
Company's Annual Report to Stockholders, within 150
days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company), one copy of (i) its Annual Report to
Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain
financial statements audited in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America by a firm of certified
public accountants of recognized standing), (ii) if
not included in substance in the Annual Report to
Stockholders, upon the request of the Purchaser, its
Annual Report on Form 10-K, (iii) upon the request of
the Purchaser, each of its Quarterly Reports to its
stockholders and, if not included in substance in its
quarterly report to stockholders, its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, (iv) a copy of the Registration
Statement (the foregoing, in each case, excluding
exhibits);
(b) upon the request of the Purchaser, all exhibits
excluded by the parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(iv)
of this Section 7.5; and
(c) upon the request of the Purchaser, a reasonable
number of copies of the prospectuses to supply to any
other party requiring such prospectuses;
and the Company, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, will meet with
the Purchaser or a representative thereof at the Company's headquarters to
discuss information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement
covering the Shares and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with any Purchaser
conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating such
Purchaser's exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the
reasonable production of information at the Company's headquarters, subject to
appropriate confidentiality limitations.
SECTION 8. BROKER'S FEE. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company intends to pay to the Placement Agent a fee in respect of the sale of
the Shares to the Purchaser. Each of the parties hereto hereby represents that,
on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or
finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Shares to
the Purchaser.
