Agreements and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently
proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions
in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and

Stock (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and

affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the

NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE
PREFERRED STOCK OR COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF

EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT OR THE UNDERLYING
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES

The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:
5.8 SECURITY INTEREST. Purchaser agrees to terminate its
security interest in the assets, as fully described in the Security Agreement
between the Company and Purchaser of even date herewith (the "SECURITY
AGREEMENT"), upon the Company tendering the final payment in satisfaction of the
obligations as defined in the Security Agreement. Purchaser agrees to join with
the Company in executing termination statements and other instruments pursuant
to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect from time to time in the
State of New York in form satisfactory to the Company and in executing such
other documents or instruments as may be required or deemed necessary by the

account of the Purchaser's prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined
below), representing the Conversion Shares or upon complete satisfaction of the
Preferred Stock.
-13-
5.11 CERTAIN TRADING RESTRICTIONS. Purchaser agrees that, as
long as it holds any shares of Preferred Stock, it shall not enter into any
Short Sales (as defined herein). For purposes of this Section 5.11, a "SHORT
SALE" shall mean a sale of Common Stock by Purchaser that would be required to
be marked as a "short sale" by the broker executing the sale pursuant to the
provisions of Rules 10a-1(c) and 10a-1(d)(1) under the Exchange Act if such
rules applied to the sale (whether or not they in fact apply to the sale), and
that is made at a time when immediately after the sale, and giving effect to all
other sales by the Purchaser, there would be no equivalent offsetting long
position in Common Stock held by Purchaser. For the purpose of determining
under this Section 5.11 whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position
in Common Stock held by Purchaser, only those Conversion Shares that are (i)
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock for which a conversion notice
has been delivered by Purchaser on or prior to a trading day or (ii) issuable as
a result of the delivery by the Company of a Repayment Election Notice, as
defined in the Certificate of Vote of Directors, shall be deemed to be held long
by Purchaser on such trading day.
5.12 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Purchaser will timely file with
the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with
the Purchaser as follows:
6.1 STOP-ORDERS. The Company will advise the Purchaser, promptly
after it receives notice of issuance by the SEC, any state securities commission
or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing
or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the
suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering
or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such
purpose.

the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and
upon the exercise of the Warrant on the Pink Sheets, the NASD OTC Bulletin
Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market, American Stock Exchange
or New York Stock Exchange (the "PRINCIPAL MARKET") upon which shares of Common
Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall
maintain such listing so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed. The Company will maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a
Principal Market, and will comply in all material respects with the Company's
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as
applicable. The Company will provide the Purchaser copies of all notices it
receives notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the
Common Stock from any Principal Market.
6.3 MARKET REGULATIONS. The Company shall notify the SEC, NASD
and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary
action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule
and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to Purchaser
and promptly provide copies thereof to Purchaser.
-14-
6.4 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. The Company will timely file with
the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and

end of each calendar month, the Company will provide to the Purchaser a monthly
cash flow statement, balance sheet and income statement for the immediately
preceding month.
6.5 USE OF FUNDS. The Company agrees that it will use the
proceeds of the sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrant for general corporate
purposes only, in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with past
practice and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not use
such proceeds to make a loan to any employee, officer, director or stockholder
of the Company, to repay any loan or other obligation of the Company or to
repurchase or pay a dividend on shares of Common Stock or other securities of
the Company (in any such case, regardless of whether such loan or payment was
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors prior to the date hereof), other
than any such repurchase or payment explicitly required, permitted or
contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Agreements.
The Company agrees that it will use $1,000,000 of the proceeds of the Offering
for the purpose of purchasing an Axcelis Ion Implanter (the "EQUIPMENT"). If,
within three (3) months from the Closing Date, the Company is unable to purchase
the Equipment for $1,000,000 or less, the Company shall either: (i) repay the
$1,000,000 or (ii) use the $1,000,000 for general corporate purposes, upon the
consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

and during normal business hours, at such person's expense and accompanied by a
representative of the Company, to (a) visit and inspect any of the properties of
the Company, (b) examine the corporate and financial records of the Company
(unless such examination is not permitted by federal, state or local law or by
contract) and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and (c) discuss the
affairs, finances and accounts of any such corporations with the directors,

6.7 TAXES. The Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause
to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided,
further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or
levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefor.
6.8 INSURANCE. The Company will keep its assets which are of an
insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against
loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by
companies in the Company's line of business, in amounts sufficient to prevent
the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than 100% of
the insurable value of the property insured; and the Company will maintain, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and
-15-
risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner
customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and to the
extent available on commercially reasonable terms.

corporate existence, and will not liquidate, dissolve or effect a
recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization in any form of transaction.
In addition, the Company shall not sell all or substantially all of the
Company's assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, where the
surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's
obligations hereunder and the Related Agreements and (ii) is a publicly traded
company whose common stock is quoted or listed on a Principal Market.
6.13 REISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The Company agrees to reissue
certificates representing the Securities without the legends set forth in
Section 5.7 above at such time as (a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose
of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or (b) upon
resale subject to an effective registration statement after such Securities are
registered under the Securities Act. The Company agrees to cooperate with the
Purchaser in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k)
and provide legal opinions necessary to allow such resales provided the Company
and its counsel receive reasonably requested representations from the selling
Purchaser and broker, if any.

Purchaser an opinion acceptable to the Purchaser from the Company's legal

its right to convert the Preferred Stock or part thereof by telecopying or
otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to
-18-
be converted to the Company (the "NOTICE OF CONVERSION"). The Purchaser will not
be required to surrender the Preferred Stock Certificate until the Purchaser
receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser's prime broker through the
DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Conversion Shares or until the
Preferred Stock has been fully satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of
Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the
provisions hereof shall be deemed a "CONVERSION DATE." The Company will cause
the transfer agent to transmit the Conversion Shares (and a certificate
representing the balance of the Preferred Stock not so converted, if requested
by Purchaser) to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser's prime
broker with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3) business days after receipt by
the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "DELIVERY DATE").
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of
the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8 hereof beyond
the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event
that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Conversion
Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in
Section 8.1(b) above and the Conversion Shares are not delivered to the
Purchaser by the Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss,
the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of
the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8 hereof upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock in the amount equal to the greater of (i) $500
per business day after the Delivery Date or (ii) the Purchaser's actual damages
from such delayed delivery. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under
this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of
actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such
damages. Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock the
Purchaser is forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the
Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such conversion, and shall be calculated as
the amount by which (A) the Purchaser's total purchase price (including
customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate
of Vote of Directors) and/or dividend amount of the Preferred Stock, for which
such Conversion Notice was not timely honored.
(d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to
herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or
dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum
amount permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to a Purchaser and thus refunded to
the Company.
8.2 MAXIMUM CONVERSION. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to
convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Preferred Stock in connection
with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum
of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser
on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made on a Conversion Date, which would
-19-
result in beneficial ownership by the Purchaser of more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date.
Subject to the foregoing, a Purchaser shall not be limited to aggregate
conversions of only 4.99%. A Purchaser may void the conversion limitation
described in this Section 8.2 upon 75 days prior notice to the Company. Upon an
Event of Default under the Preferred Stock, the conversion limitation in this
Section 8.2 shall automatically become null and void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company has elected to make a payment of a Monthly Amount (as
defined in the Certificate of Vote of Directors) in shares of Common Stock and
such issuance would cause Purchaser's beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99%, then
Purchaser shall be required to sell that number of shares of Common Stock that
it beneficially owns in order to permit the Company to make a payment of a
Monthly Amount in shares of Common Stock. Beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation
13d-3 thereunder.
8.3 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Company will have the option of
redeeming any outstanding Stated Value of the Preferred Stock ("OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION") by paying to the Purchaser the greater of (i) 130% of such amount
or (ii) a fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the Preferred Stock
being redeemed and of which the denominator is the Fixed Conversion Price, as
defined in Section 6(b) of the Certificate of Vote of Directors, together with
accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or
payable to the Purchaser arising under this Agreement, Certificate of Vote of
Directors or any other document delivered herewith ("REDEMPTION AMOUNT")
outstanding on the day notice of redemption ("NOTICE OF REDEMPTION") is
delivered to a Purchaser ("REDEMPTION DATE"). A Notice of Redemption may not be
given in connection with any portion of Preferred Stock for which a Notice of
Conversion has been given by the Purchaser at any time before receipt of a
Notice of Redemption or given pursuant to the following sentence. The
Redemption Amount must be paid in immediately available funds to the Purchaser
no later than the seventh (7th) business day after the Redemption Date
("OPTIONAL REDEMPTION PAYMENT DATE"). In the event the Company fails to pay the
Redemption Amount by the Optional Redemption Payment Date, then the Redemption
Notice will be null and void. A Notice of Redemption may be given by the
Company, provided no Event of Default as described in the Certificate of Vote of
Directors shall have occurred or be continuing.
9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
9.1 REGISTRATION RIGHTS GRANTED. The Company hereby grants the
following registration rights to holders of the securities purchased hereby.
(a) The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts
to file a Form S-3 registration statement (or such other form that it is
eligible to use) in order to register the Conversion Shares and Preferred Shares
(the "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES") for resale and distribution under the Securities
Act with the SEC by November 12, 2002 (the "FILING DATE"), and use its
reasonable commercial efforts to cause such registration statement to be
declared effective within 90 days of the Filing Date (the "EFFECTIVE DATE").
The Company will register 750,000 shares of Common Stock in the aforedescribed
registration statement. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set
aside exclusively for the benefit of the Purchaser and the holders of the
Warrant, as the case may be, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone
-20-
other than the Purchaser and the holders of the Warrant. If the closing price
of the Common Stock is less than $3.00 per share for five (5) consecutive
trading days, then such registration statement will be promptly amended or
additional registration statements will be promptly filed by the Company as
necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to allow
the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the
Registrable Securities. No securities of the Company other than the Registrable
Securities will be included in the registration statement described in this
Section 9.1(a).
9.2 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is
required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as
expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly
provide to the holders of Registrable Securities copies of all filings and SEC
letters of comment;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective
until the later of: (i) six months after the latest exercise period of the
Warrants; or (ii) four years after the Closing Date, and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with
the Seller's intended method of disposition set forth in such registration
statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any,
such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the
case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of
the Company is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under
such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained
in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
-21-
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
(g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any
underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration
statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or
underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
9.3 PROVISION OF DOCUMENTS. In connection with each registration
hereunder, the Purchaser will furnish to the Company in writing such information
and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution
by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with
federal and applicable state securities laws.
9.4 NON-REGISTRATION EVENTS. If (i) the registration statement on
Form S-3 or such other form as described in Section 9.1(a) is not filed on or
before the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the
Effective Date, or within three business days of receipt by the Company of a
communication from the SEC that the registration statement described in Section
9.1(a) will not be reviewed, or (iii) if the registration statement described in
Section 9.1(a) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be
effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration
statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed
30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20 consecutive calendar days
(defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in this Section
9.4 is referred to herein as a "NON-REGISTRATION EVENT"), then, for so long as
such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the Company shall pay in cash as
Liquidated Damages to each holder of any Registrable Securities an amount equal
to one percent (1%) per month or part thereof for the first month and two
percent (2%) per month or part thereof thereafter during the pendency of such
Non-Registration Event of the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock issued in
connection with the Offering, whether or not converted, then owned of record by
such holder or issuable as of or subsequent to the occurrence of such
Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section shall be
due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available funds. It
shall be deemed a Non-Registration Event to the extent that all the Common Stock
included in the Registrable Securities and underlying the Securities is not
included in an effective registration statement as of and after the Effective
Date at the conversion prices in effect from and after the Effective Date.
9.5 EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying
with Section 9, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky"
laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars,
fees of, and up to $2,500 in disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the
Seller, and costs of insurance are called "REGISTRATION EXPENSES". All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
-22-
Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special
counsel to the Seller beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called
"SELLING EXPENSES."
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
the registration statement under Section 9. All Selling Expenses in connection
with each registration statement under Section 9 shall be borne by the Seller
and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares
sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
9.6 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, each officer of each Seller, each
director of each Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities
thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls any such Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such
underwriter 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 any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 9, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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 Seller, each such underwriter 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; 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 information furnished by any such
Seller, the underwriter 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
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, the Seller will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and 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 and each director of the Company,
against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Company or such officer or director 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 the registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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 or
director for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
-23-
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, provided, however, that the 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
the 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 Registrable Securities sold by the 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 net proceeds
received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities 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 9.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 9.6(c) 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 reasonably
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 9.6(c) 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 if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal
defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which
either (i) the Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim
for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.6 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 9.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Seller
or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification
is provided under this Section 9.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and
-24-
the Seller 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 the Seller is responsible only for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities
offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in
any such case, (A) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it
pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
10. OFFERING RESTRICTIONS. Except as previously disclosed in the SEC
Reports or stock or stock options granted to employees or directors of the

arrangement (these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the "EXCEPTED

conversion feature which are or could be (by conversion or registration)
free-trading securities prior to the repayment in full or conversion in full of
the Preferred Stock.
