By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.
3.2. Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary and appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Securities. Such Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and Warrants and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.
10
3.3. Investment Experience. Such Investor can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Common Stock and Warrants. If other than an individual, Investor also represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
3.4. Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.
3.5. Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act, except in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
3.6. Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until either,
(a) there is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(b) (i) such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act, and (iii) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by this Article 3, the Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement (with respect to the Stockholders Agreement and the Rights Agreement to the extent that the transferor was so bound). It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel pursuant to this Section 3.6(b) for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, provided that it receives appropriate representations from the seller with regard to compliance with Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required by the Company for (i) a transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Rights Agreement), or (ii) a transfer by an Investor to any entity directly or indirectly controlled by or controlling the Investor.
4. Conditions of Investor’s Obligations at Closing.

5.1. Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, the Company agrees to indemnify the Investors and their respective officers, partners, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, “Investor-indemnified parties”) against and to hold each Investor-indemnified party harmless from any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred or suffered by any Investor-indemnified party arising from or in connection with (a) any inaccuracy in any representation or the breach of any warranty of the Company or any Subsidiary under a Transaction Document, (b) the failure of the Company or any Subsidiary duly to perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or the Warrants, (c) the assertion by any person not a party to this Agreement of any claim against an Investor-indemnified Party in connection with the matters or transactions that are the subject of or contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or (d) the status of any Investor-indemnified Party as a holder of equity interests in the Company or the existence or exercise of the rights and powers of such Investor-indemnified Party relating thereto.
5.2. Indemnification Procedures.
(a) If the indemnified parties shall seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 5, the indemnified parties shall give prompt notice to the Company (as such, the “indemnifying party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and will give the indemnifying party such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying party may reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the indemnifying party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent of actual prejudice or damages suffered as a result thereof. The indemnifying party may, at its expense, participate in or assume the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding involving a third party with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) named parties include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such counsel has advised the indemnified party that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party, and the indemnifying party shall reimburse or pay such fees and expenses as they are incurred. Whether or not the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute any claim involving a third party, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(b) The indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Article 5 for any settlement effected without its consent of any claim, litigation or proceedings
15
by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, unless the indemnifying party refuses to acknowledge liability for indemnification under this Section 5.2 and/or declines to defend the indemnified party in such claim, litigation or proceeding.
6.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.1, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall survive any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the parties hereto and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.2. Exercise of Warrants. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause by February 1, 2003, each holder of its Pre-Existing Warrants to agree that, upon the request of the Company, such holder will agree to the repricing of the exercise price of such securities to $0.001 per share of Common Stock and that immediately following such repricing, such holder will exercise such securities.
6.3. Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties under the Stockholders Agreement and hereunder.
6.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

6.11. Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

None of the parties to any of the Transaction Documents shall issue any press release or other public statement relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby unless advised by counsel that such disclosure is required by law and, in any case, without first giving the other parties the opportunity to review and comment upon such statement unless not reasonably practicable under the circumstances.
6.15. Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees that, except with the prior written permission of the other parties, or as permitted by Section 6.14 of this Agreement, it shall at all times keep confidential and not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone any confidential information, knowledge or data concerning or relating to the business or financial affairs of the other parties to which such party has been or shall become privy by reason of this Agreement, discussions or negotiations relating to this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder or the ownership of Common Stock and Warrants purchased hereunder. In addition, the Company agrees it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Investors, unless expressly agreed to by the Investors or unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement. The provisions of this Section 6.15 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any separate nondisclosure agreement executed by the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.16. Exculpation Among Investors. Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

The Company or its agent shall be required to record a transfer when it receives the security to be transferred duly and properly endorsed by the registered holder thereof or by its attorney duly authorized in writing.
19
6.18. Replacement of Certificates. Upon receipt of a lost instrument certificate with indemnity provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate representing any Company securities, the Company shall issue a new certificate representing such securities in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.
6.19. Interpretation of “Knowledge.” Statements herein that are qualified as to the “knowledge of the Company” or similar statements shall mean the actual knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, after reasonable inquiry; provided that any statement qualified as to the “actual knowledge” of the Company shall mean the actual knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, without inquiry.
