RECITALS WHEREAS, the parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company may issue and sell to the Investor and the Investor shall thereupon purchase from the Company up to $50,000,000 worth of newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value ("Common Stock"), subject, in all cases, to the Trading Market Limit; and WHEREAS, the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock hereunder have been registered by the Company in the Registration Statement, which has been declared effective by order of the Commission under the Securities Act; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK SECTION 1.1 PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, during the Investment Period the Company in its discretion may issue and sell to the Investor up to $50,000,000 (the "Total Commitment") worth of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (subject in all cases to the Trading Market Limit, the "Aggregate Limit"), by (i) the delivery to the Investor of not more than 24 separate Fixed Request Notices (unless the Investor and the Company mutually agree that a different number of Fixed Request Notices may be delivered) as provided in Article II hereof and (ii) the exercise by the Investor of Optional Amounts, which the Company may in its discretion grant to the Investor and which may be exercised by the Investor, in whole or in part, as provided in Article II hereof. The aggregate of all Fixed Request Amounts and Optional Amount Dollar Amounts shall not exceed the Aggregate Limit. SECTION 1.2 EFFECTIVE DATE; SETTLEMENT DATES. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon delivery of counterpart signature pages of this Agreement executed by each of the parties hereto, and by delivery of an opinion of counsel and a certificate of the Company as provided in Section 6.1 hereof, to the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, at l0:00 a.m., New York time, on the Effective Date. In consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants, and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Date and during the Investment Period (i) the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, the Shares in respect of each Fixed Request and (ii) the Investor may in its discretion elect to purchase Shares in respect of each Optional Amount. The issuance and sale of Shares to the Investor pursuant to any Fixed Request or Optional Amount shall occur on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.9 (or on such Trading Day in accordance with Section 2.8, as applicable), provided in each case that all of the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Article VI theretofore shall have been fulfilled or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waived. SECTION 1.3 THE SHARES. The Company has duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and covenants to continue to reserve for issuance, free of all preemptive and other similar rights, at all times during the Investment Period, the requisite aggregate number of authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock to timely effect the issuance, sale and delivery in full to the Investor of all Shares to be issued in respect of all Fixed Requests and Optional Amounts under this Agreement. SECTION 1.4 CURRENT REPORT; PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT. As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York time) on the first Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, the Company shall file with the Commission a report on Form 8-K relating to the transactions contemplated by, and describing the material terms and conditions of, this Agreement and disclosing all information relating to the transactions contemplated hereby required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Base Prospectus (but which permissibly has been omitted therefrom in accordance with the Securities Act), including, without limitation, information required to be disclosed in the section captioned "Plan of Distribution" in the Base Prospectus (the "Current Report"). The Current Report shall include a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit. To the extent applicable, the Current Report shall be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE II FIXED REQUEST TERMS; OPTIONAL AMOUNT Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing) as follows: SECTION 2.1 FIXED REQUEST NOTICE. Upon one Trading Day's prior written notice to the Investor, the Company may, from time to time in its sole discretion, provide a notice to the Investor of a Fixed Request before 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period (the "Fixed Request Notice"), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Fixed Request Notice shall specify the Fixed Amount Requested, establish the Threshold 2 Price for such Fixed Request, designate the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period and specify the Optional Amount, if any, that the Company elects to grant to the Investor during the Pricing Period and the applicable Threshold Price for such Optional Amount (the "Optional Amount Threshold Price"). The Threshold Price and the Optional Amount Threshold Price established by the Company in a Fixed Request Notice may be the same or different, in the Company's sole discretion. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor is obligated to accept each Fixed Request Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. SECTION 2.2 FIXED REQUESTS. From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company may in its sole discretion deliver to the Investor a Fixed Request Notice for a specified Fixed Amount Requested, and the applicable discount price (the "Discount Price") shall be determined, in accordance with the price and share amount parameters as set forth below or such other parameters mutually agreed upon by the Investor and the Company, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor shall purchase from the Company the Shares subject to such Fixed Request Notice; provided, however, that the Company may not deliver any single Fixed Request Notice for a Fixed Amount Requested in excess of the lesser of: (i) the amount in the applicable Fixed Amount Requested column below and (ii) 2.5% of the Market Capitalization:
Threshold Price Fixed Amount Requested Discount Price - --------------- ---------------------- -------------- Equal to or greater than $12.00 Not to exceed $12,000,000 96.50% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $11.00 and less than $12.00 Not to exceed $11,000,000 96.40% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $10.00 and less than $11.00 Not to exceed $10,000,000 96.30% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $9.00 and less than $10.00 Not to exceed $9,000,000 96.20% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $8.00 and less than $9.00 Not to exceed $8,000,000 96.00% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $7.00 and less than $8.00 Not to exceed $7,000,000 95.75% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $6.00 and less than $7.00 Not to exceed $6,000,000 95.50% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $5.00 and less than $6.00 Not to exceed $5,000,000 95.00% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $4.00 and less than $5.00 Not to exceed $4,000,000 94.75% of the VWAP Equal to or greater than $3.00 and less than $4.00 Not to exceed $3,000,000 94.50% of the VWAP
Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, at no time shall the Investor be required to purchase more than $12,000,000 worth of Common Stock in respect of any Pricing Period (not including Common Stock subject to any Optional Amount). The date on which the Company delivers any Fixed Request Notice in accordance with this Section 2.2 hereinafter shall be referred to as a "Fixed Request Exercise Date". 3 SECTION 2.3 SHARE CALCULATION. Subject to Section 2.6, the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investor pursuant to a Fixed Request shall equal the aggregate sum of each quotient (calculated for each Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price) determined pursuant to the following equation (rounded to the nearest whole Share): N = (A x B)/C, where: N = the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investor in respect of a Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price, A = 0.10 (the "Multiplier"); provided, however, that if the number of Trading Days constituting a Pricing Period is decreased as set forth in Section 2.8 hereof, then the Multiplier correspondingly shall be increased to equal the decimal equivalent (in 10-millionths) of a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which equals the number of Trading Days in the Pricing Period as so decreased, B = the Fixed Amount Requested, and C = the applicable Discount Price. SECTION 2.4 LIMITATION OF FIXED REQUESTS. The Company shall not make more than one Fixed Request in each Pricing Period. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Investor, not less than three Trading Days shall elapse between the end of one Pricing Period and the commencement of any other Pricing Period during the Investment Period. There shall be permitted a maximum of 24 Fixed Requests during the Investment Period. Each Fixed Request automatically shall expire immediately following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period. SECTION 2.5 REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT. On the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period, the Investor's Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically (and without the need for any amendment to this Agreement) shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total amount of the Fixed Request Amount and the Optional Amount Dollar Amount, if any, for such Pricing Period actually paid to the Company at the Settlement Date. SECTION 2.6 BELOW THRESHOLD PRICE. If the VWAP on any Trading Day in a Pricing Period is lower than the Threshold Price, then for each such Trading Day the total amount of the Fixed Amount Requested shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the product of (x) the Multiplier and (y) the original Fixed Amount Requested, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below. If trading in the Common Stock on NASDAQ (or any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) is suspended for any reason for more than three hours on any Trading Day, the Investor may at its option deem the price of the Common Stock to be lower than the Threshold Price for such Trading Day and, for each such Trading Day, the total amount of the Fixed Amount Requested shall be reduced as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below. For each Trading Day during a Pricing Period on which the VWAP is (or is 4 deemed to be) lower than the Threshold Price, the Investor may in its sole discretion elect to purchase such U.S. dollar amount of Shares equal to the amount by which the Fixed Amount Requested has been reduced in accordance with this Section 2.6, at the Threshold Price multiplied by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the price and share amount parameters set forth in Section 2.2. The Investor shall inform the Company via facsimile transmission not later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period as to the number of Shares, if any, the Investor elects to purchase as provided in this Section 2.6. SECTION 2.7 SETTLEMENT. The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares in respect of each Fixed Request shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period, or on such other earlier date as the parties may mutually agree (the "Settlement Date"). On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor to the Investor or its designees via DTC's Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, against simultaneous payment therefor to the Company's designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, provided that if the Shares are received by the Investor later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), payment therefor shall be made with next day funds. As set forth in Section 9.1(ii), a failure by the Company to deliver such Shares shall result in the payment of liquidated damages by the Company to the Investor. SECTION 2.8 REDUCTION OF PRICING PERIOD. If during a Pricing Period the Company elects to reduce the number of Trading Days in such Pricing Period (and thereby amend its previously delivered Fixed Request Notice), the Company shall so notify the Investor before 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day during a Pricing Period (a "Reduction Notice") and the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day immediately preceding the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Reduction Notice; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Reduction Notice later than 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Trading Day during a Pricing Period, then the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period instead shall be the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Reduction Notice. Upon receipt of a Reduction Notice, the Investor (i) shall purchase the Shares in respect of each Trading Day in such reduced Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof; (ii) may elect to purchase the Shares in respect of any Trading Day in such reduced Pricing Period for which the VWAP is (or is deemed to be) lower than the Threshold Price in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof; and (iii) may elect to exercise all or any portion of an Optional Amount on any Trading Day during such reduced Pricing Period in accordance with Sections 2.10 and 2.11 hereof. In addition, upon receipt of a Reduction Notice, the Investor may elect to purchase such U.S. dollar amount of additional Shares equal to the quotient determined pursuant to the following equation: D = A x 1/B x (B - C), where: D = the U.S. dollar amount of additional Shares to be purchased, A = the Fixed Amount Requested, 5 B = 10 or, for purposes of this Section 2.8, such lesser number of Trading Days as the parties may mutually agree to, and C = the number of Trading Days in the reduced Pricing Period, at a per Share price equal to (x) the Fixed Amount Requested attributable to the reduced Pricing Period divided by (y) the number of Shares to be purchased during such reduced Pricing Period pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Investor may also elect to exercise any portion of the applicable Optional Amount which was unexercised during the reduced Pricing Period by issuing an Optional Amount Notice to the Company not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period. The number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of such Optional Amount shall be calculated pursuant to the equation set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, except that "C" shall equal the greater of (i) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period or (ii) the Optional Amount Threshold Price. The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares to be purchased and sold in accordance with this Section 2.8 shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which the Investor receives a Reduction Notice. SECTION 2.9 OPTIONAL AMOUNT. With respect to any Pricing Period, the Company may in its sole discretion grant to the Investor the right to exercise, from time to time during the Pricing Period (but not more than once on any Trading Day), all or any portion of an Optional Amount. The maximum Optional Amount Dollar Amount and the Optional Amount Threshold Price shall be set forth in the Fixed Request Notice. Each daily Optional Amount exercise shall be aggregated during the Pricing Period and settled on the next Settlement Date. The Optional Amount Threshold Price designated by the Company in its Fixed Request Notice shall apply to each Optional Amount during the applicable Pricing Period. SECTION 2.10 CALCULATION OF OPTIONAL AMOUNT SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the exercise of an Optional Amount shall be the quotient determined pursuant to the following equation (rounded to the nearest whole Share): O = A/(B x C), where: O = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such Optional Amount exercise, A = the Optional Amount Dollar Amount with respect to which the Investor has delivered an Optional Amount Notice, B = the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the price and shares amount parameters set forth in Section 2.2 (with the Optional Amount Threshold Price serving as the Threshold Price for such purposes), and 6 C = the greater of (i) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the day the Investor delivers the Optional Amount Notice or (ii) the Optional Amount Threshold Price. SECTION 2.11 EXERCISE OF OPTIONAL AMOUNT. If granted by the Company to the Investor with respect to a Pricing Period, all or any portion of the Optional Amount may be exercised by the Investor on any Trading Day during the Pricing Period, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.9. As a condition to each exercise of an Optional Amount pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Investor shall issue an Optional Amount Notice to the Company no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of such Optional Amount exercise. If the Investor does not exercise an Optional Amount in full by 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period, such unexercised portion of the Investor's Optional Amount with respect to that Pricing Period automatically shall lapse and terminate. SECTION 2.12 AGGREGATE LIMIT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may the Company issue a Fixed Request Notice or grant an Optional Amount to the extent that the sale of Shares pursuant thereto and pursuant to all prior Fixed Request Notices or Optional Amounts issued hereunder, and as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii), would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase Shares which in the aggregate are in excess of the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount that otherwise would permit the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases by Investor hereunder to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount together with the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of all other Common Stock purchased by the Investor pursuant hereto would exceed the Aggregate Limit. The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has effected any transaction or series of transactions, (ii) is a party to any pending transaction or series of transactions or (iii) shall enter into any contract, agreement, agreement-in-principle, arrangement or understanding with respect to, or shall effect, any Other Financing which, in any of such cases, may be integrated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of determining whether approval of the Company's stockholders is required under any bylaw, listed securities maintenance standards or other rules of the Trading Market; provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to take any action referred to in clause (iii) above if the Company has timely provided the Investor with an Integration Notice as provided in Section 5.6(ii) hereof. At the Company's sole discretion, and effective automatically upon receipt by the Investor of notice thereof from the Company, this Agreement may be amended by the Company from time to time to reduce the Aggregate Limit by a specified dollar amount of Common Stock which shall be no greater than is required to enable the Company to utilize the Registration Statement to consummate an underwritten public offering of Common Stock or a registered direct public offering of Common Stock during the Investment Period); provided, however, that any such amendment of this Agreement (and any such purported amendment) shall be void and of no force and effect if the effect thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver Shares to the Investor in respect of a 7 Fixed Request or Optional Amount on the applicable Settlement Date. In the event the Company shall have elected to reduce the Aggregate Limit as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, at the Company's sole discretion, and effective automatically upon receipt by the Investor of notice thereof from the Company, the Company may subsequently amend this Agreement to increase the Aggregate Limit; provided, however, that in no event shall the Aggregate Limit thereby be increased to an amount greater than the amount obtained by subtracting (x) the aggregate of all Fixed Request Amounts and Optional Amount Dollar Amounts (including any amounts paid as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii) hereunder) covered by all Fixed Requests and Optional Amounts theretofore issued or granted by the Company in respect of which a settlement has occurred pursuant to Section 2.7 from (y) $50,000,000, subject in all cases to the Trading Market Limit.

SECTION 5.5 LIMITATIONS ON HOLDINGS AND ISSUANCES. At no time during the term of this Agreement shall the Investor directly or indirectly own more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to issue and the 21 Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any shares of Common Stock which would result in the issuance under this Agreement to the Investor at any time of Shares which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned beneficially by the Investor, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. SECTION 5.6 OTHER AGREEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCINGS. (i) The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company or any Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver Shares to the Investor in respect of a Fixed Request or Optional Amount on the applicable Settlement Date. (ii) The Company shall notify the Investor, within 48 hours, if it enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party, the principal purpose of which is to obtain during a Pricing Period an Other Financing not constituting an Acceptable Financing (an "Other Financing Notice"); provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Investor as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 24 hours after (an "Integration Notice"), if it enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party, the principal purpose of which is to obtain an Other Financing which may be integrated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (under the written rules, regulations and policies of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) for purposes of determining whether approval of the Company's stockholders is required under any bylaw, listed securities maintenance standards or other rules of the Trading Market and, if required under applicable law, including, without limitation, Regulation FD promulgated by the Commission, or under the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company shall publicly disclose such information in accordance with Regulation FD and the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

For greater certainty, the entry by the Company into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party to obtain an Other Financing outside of a Pricing Period shall not trigger any requirement of the Company to deliver an Other Financing Notice (provided that if the entry into such agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction outside of a Pricing Period requires delivery of an Integration Notice as provided in this Section 5.6(ii), the Company shall deliver such Integration Notice as provided in this Section 5.6(ii)). During any Pricing Period in which the Company is required to provide notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.6(ii), the Investor shall (i) have the option to purchase the Shares subject to the Fixed Request at (x) the price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the third party's per share purchase price in connection with the Other Financing, net of such third party's discounts, Warrant Value and fees, or (ii) the Investor may elect to not purchase any Shares subject to the Fixed Request for that Pricing Period. An "Other Financing" shall mean (x) the issuance of Common Stock for a purchase price less than, or the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at an exercise or conversion price (as the case may be) less 22 than, the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (in each case, after all fees, discounts, Warrant Value and commissions associated with the transaction) (a "Below Market Offering"); (y) the implementation by the Company of any mechanism in respect of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for the reset of the purchase price of the Common Stock to below the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, any antidilution or similar adjustment provisions in respect of any Company securities, but specifically excluding customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar events); or (z) the issuance of options, warrants or similar rights of subscription in each case not constituting an Acceptable Financing. "Acceptable Financing" shall mean the issuance by the Company of: (1) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock other than in connection with a Below Market Offering; (2) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with awards under the Company's benefit and equity plans and arrangements or shareholder rights plan and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (3) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of equity awards or convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of the Effective Date; (4) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or similar rights to subscribe for the purchase of shares of Common Stock in connection with technology sharing, licensing, research and joint development agreements (or amendments thereto) with third parties, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (5) shares of Common Stock and/or warrants or similar rights to subscribe for the purchase of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with equipment financings and/or real property leases (or amendments thereto) and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise thereof; or (6) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock issued in connection with any transaction or series of transactions by which the Company acquires, licenses or otherwise receives rights to the 20% minority interests of its Subsidiary, ARIAD Gene Therapeutics, Inc., which the Company does not currently own, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. SECTION 5.7 STOP ORDERS. The Company shall advise the Investor as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the close of business on the date thereof, and shall confirm such advice in writing: (i) of the Company's receipt of notice of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or for any additional information; (ii) of the Company's receipt of notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements then made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or of the necessity to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall use 23 commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time. SECTION 5.8 AMENDMENTS TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT; PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENTS; FREE WRITING PROSPECTUSES. (i) Except as provided in this Agreement and other than periodic reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall not file with the Commission any amendment to the Registration Statement that relates to the Investor, the Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or file with the Commission any Prospectus Supplement that relates to the Investor, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to which (a) the Investor shall not previously have been advised, (b) the Company shall not have given due consideration to any comments thereon received from the Investor or its counsel, or (c) the Investor shall reasonably object after being so advised, unless it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or make any supplement to the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, in which case the Company shall immediately so inform the Investor, the Investor shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any disclosure relating to the Investor and the Company shall expeditiously furnish to the Investor an electronic copy thereof. In addition, for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in connection with any purchase of Shares by the Investor, the Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Shares without delivering or making available a copy of such Prospectus Supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, to the Investor promptly. (ii) The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Investor, it has not made and will not make an offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company or the Investor with the Commission or retained by the Company or the Investor under Rule 433 under the Securities Act. The Investor agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make an offer relating to the Shares that would constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Securities Act. Any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Investor or the Company is referred to in this Agreement as a "Permitted Free Writing Prospectus." The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. SECTION 5.9 PROSPECTUS DELIVERY. The Company shall file with the Commission a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on the first Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period. The Company shall provide the Investor a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of each such Prospectus Supplement and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, shall give due consideration to all such comments and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 hereof, shall deliver or make available to the Investor, 24 without charge, an electronic copy of each form of Prospectus Supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus on each applicable Settlement Date. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any Prospectus Supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or "blue sky" laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company and its counsel is required to be set forth in the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 5.8 above, file with the Commission an appropriate Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus (or supplement to the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus) and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to the Investor an electronic copy thereof. SECTION 5.10 SELLING RESTRICTIONS. (i) The Investor covenants that from and after the date hereof through and including the 90th day next following the termination of this Agreement (the "Restricted Period"), neither the Investor nor any of its affiliates (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor shall, directly or indirectly, sell any securities of the Company, except the Shares that it owns or has the right to purchase as provided in a Fixed Request Notice.

Prior to and during the Restricted Period, the Investor shall not grant any option to purchase or acquire any right to dispose or otherwise 25 dispose for value of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or warrants to purchase, any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock, except for such sales expressly permitted by this Section 5.10(i).

The Investor shall provide the Company with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably requested by the Company. The Investor shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer. SECTION 5.14 UPDATE OF DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE. During the Investment Period, the Company shall from time to time update the Disclosure Schedule as may be required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.3(i). For purposes of this Section 5.14, any disclosure made in a schedule to the Compliance Certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall be deemed to be an update of the Disclosure Schedule.

The Company shall notify the Investor as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the close of business on the date thereof (and, if required under applicable law, including, without limitation, Regulation FD promulgated by the Commission, or under the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company shall publicly disclose such information in accordance with Regulation FD and the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market), and the Investor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time after receipt of such notification, if: (i) any condition, occurrence, state of facts or event constituting a Material Adverse Effect has occurred; (ii) a Material Change in Ownership has occurred or the Company has entered into a definitive agreement which would result in a Material Change in Ownership; or (iii) a default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the terms of any agreement, contract, note or other instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money representing more than 10% of the Company's consolidated assets, in any such case, upon one Trading Day's prior written notice delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof. SECTION 7.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of termination by the Company or the Investor, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party as provided in Section 9.4 and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party.

(i) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, the Broker-Dealer, each affiliate, employee, representative and advisor of and to the Investor and the Broker-Dealer, and each person, if any, who controls the Investor or the Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees) to which the Investor, the Broker-Dealer and each such other person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any violation of law (including United States federal securities laws but excluding British Virgin Islands law) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors or employees, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) of the Company, which "issuer information" is required to be, or is, filed with the Commission or otherwise contained in any Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall not be liable under this Section 8.1(i) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from which no further appeals are available) that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulting directly and solely from any such acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Investor or such person through its bad faith or willful misconduct, (B) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in the Current Report or any Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and (C) with respect to the Prospectus, the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of the Investor or any such person from whom the person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased Common Stock, if copies of all Prospectus Supplements required to be filed pursuant to Section 1.4 and 5.9, together with the Base Prospectus, were timely delivered or made available to the Investor pursuant hereto and a copy of the Base Prospectus, together with a Prospectus Supplement (as applicable), was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Investor or any such person to such person, if required by law to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Common Stock to such person, and if delivery of the Base 32 Prospectus, together with a Prospectus Supplement (as applicable), would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. The Company shall reimburse the Investor, the Broker-Dealer and each such controlling person promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor, the Broker-Dealer or such indemnified persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2 hereof. (ii) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE INVESTOR. The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees) to which the Company and each such other person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any violation of law (including United States federal securities laws) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Investor or any of its affiliates, officers, directors or employees, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Current Report or any Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Investor to the Company expressly for inclusion in the Current Report or such Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. The Investor shall reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling person promptly upon demand for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such indemnified persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2 hereof. SECTION 8.2 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. Promptly after a person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party 33 notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested (by written notice provided in accordance with Section 9.4) an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated hereby effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received written notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.1 as to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and by the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 also the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The remedies provided for in Section 8.1 and this Section 8.2 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 34 ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 9.1 FEES AND EXPENSES. (i) Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall pay, on the Effective Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor's counsel, promptly following the receipt of an invoice therefor, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Investor, up to $35,000, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, legal due diligence of the Company and review of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Current Report, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and all other related transaction documentation. In addition, the Company shall pay, on the 30th day of the third month in each calendar quarter during the Investment Period, promptly following the receipt of an invoice therefor, up to $12,500, representing (x) the due diligence expenses incurred by the Investor during the Investment Period and (y) the attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Investor in connection with ongoing legal due diligence of the Company, any amendments, modifications or waivers of this Agreement and review of Prospectus Supplements, Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, opinion "bring downs" and all other related documents to be delivered by the Company and its counsel in connection with a Fixed Request Exercise Date and the applicable Settlement Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee in any calendar quarter in which the Investor has purchased Shares under this Agreement. The Company shall pay all U.S. federal, state and local stamp and other similar transfer and other taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto. (ii) If the Company issues a Fixed Request Notice and fails to deliver the Shares to the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date and such failure continues for 10 Trading Days, the Company shall pay the Investor, in cash (or, at the option of the Investor, in shares of Common Stock which have not been registered under the Securities Act), as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2.0% of the payment required to be paid by the Investor on such Settlement Date (i.e., the sum of the Fixed Amount Requested and the Optional Amount Dollar Amount) for the initial 30 days following such Settlement Date until the Shares have been delivered, and an additional 2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than thirty 30 days (subject in all cases to the Trading Market Limit). SECTION 9.2 SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT, CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (i) The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity. 35 (ii) Each of the Company and the Investor (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the State of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 9.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. (iii) Each of the Company and the Investor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or disputes relating hereto. Each of the Company and the Investor (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.2.
