the issuance and sale of the Units solely to fund product and corporate
development.
(h) CERTAIN PATENT MATTERS. The Company represents that

value or the determined or stated value of any shares of the Company's Common
Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock,
upon the exercise or conversion of the Warrants from time to time
outstanding, including, without limitation, amending its Certificate of
Incorporation to reduce or eliminate the par value of the Common Stock and
(iii) will not take any action which results in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of any Warrants if the total
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (or other securities) issuable
after such action upon the exercise or conversion of all of the
then-outstanding Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock (or other securities) then authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and available for purpose of issuance upon such
exercise.
(b) The Company shall not extend the maturity date of any of the
1,265,000 warrants issued in the Company's initial public offering without

any such extension of such maturity date shall be for a period not to exceed
180 days; PROVIDED that (i) any such extension shall have been approved by a
majority vote of the Board of Directors, (ii) any such extension of such
maturity date shall be for a period not to exceed 180 days and (iii)
notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the maturity date of such
warrants be extended on more than one occasion; PROVIDED FURTHER that the
Company's obligations under this Section 6.02(b)
18
shall terminate when less than Fifteen Percent (15%) of the number of
Warrants originally issued remain outstanding.

Securities Act) pursuant to Rule 415 (or similar rule that may be adopted by the
Commission) for the resale of the Registrable Shares (the "Registration

of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to such seller
a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that,

statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) make available for inspection by each seller of Registrable
Shares, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller

and exclusive judgment, exercised in good faith, of such holder, might be deemed

reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included.

within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder, officer, director, partner
or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any prospectus, offering
circular or other document incident to such registration (including any related
notification, registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 7.01, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
21
supplement thereof), (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed
by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written
information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction
in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Shares under the securities
laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a
"Blue Sky Application"), (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state in
any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement or in
any Blue Sky Applications executed or filed by the Company, a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of the Securities
Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable
to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with such registration, or (v) any failure to
register or qualify the Registrable Shares in any state where the Company or
its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company
will undertake such registration or qualification (provided that in such
instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has used its best efforts
to so register or qualify the Registrable Shares) and will reimburse each
such seller, and such officer, director and partner, and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action, promptly after being so incurred, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission so made in conformity with written information furnished by
any such holder or any such controlling person in writing specifically for
use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article VII, each seller of such
Registrable Shares thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each other seller of
Registrable Shares against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or such officer, director or other seller may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any prospectus offering circular or other document incident to
such registration (including any related notification, registration statement
under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 7.01, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof), or any Blue Sky
Application 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 therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and
each such officer, director and other seller for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred
22
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action, promptly after being so incurred, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and
only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to the
Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the liability of each seller
hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public
offering price of the securities sold by such seller under such registration
statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold
thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the proceeds received by such
seller from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by such registration
statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party other than under this Section and shall only relieve
it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this
Section if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action 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 participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, 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 reasonable defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or
that the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict
with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have
the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and
otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation
to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party,
in the defense of any such claim or action, 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
23
party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or action.
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.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Company,
any holder of Registrable Shares exercising rights under this Agreement, or any
controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration
of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Company, any such
selling holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section; then, and in each such case, the
Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented
by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Shares
offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such registration statement, and the Company is
responsible for the remaining portion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in any such
case, (A) no such holder of Registrable Shares will be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the proceeds received from the sale of all such
Registrable Shares offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and
(B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution
from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
(e) The indemnities and obligations provided in this Section shall
survive the transfer of any Registrable Shares by such holder.

constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of
this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was
given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.
SECTION 9.06. ASSIGNMENT. The rights and obligations under this Agreement
may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except that
a Purchaser without the consent of the Company may assign this Agreement or any

27

obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the
conflict of law principles thereof.
SECTION 9.09. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof,

SECTION 9.13. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS, POWERS AND REMEDIES. No failure or
delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as
a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of the party. No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto,
nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power
or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of
any remedy by a party hereto shall not
28
constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available
remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under
this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances
or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or
demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such
notice or demand.

the public domain, was received in confidence. Each such party agrees not to
divulge, communicate or disclose, or use to the detriment of the disclosing
party or for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any
way, any confidential information of the disclosing party concerning the
subject matter hereof; PROVIDED that (i) the foregoing obligation with
respect to the disclosure and use of such information shall not apply to any
information which such party can demonstrate (A) was at the time of
disclosure to such party or thereafter, but prior to its disclosure by such
party to any third party, through no fault of such party, publicly available
(other than as a result of disclosure by such party), (B) has been disclosed
to such party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any other
party which, to such party's knowledge, was not prohibited from disclosing
such information to such party by a legal, contractual, fiduciary or other
obligation, (C) has been independently developed by the such party without
