In this connection, Investor represents that it is aware of the current provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Investor understands that the Securities and any Warrant Shares or securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Securities or Warrant Shares, may bear the following legend:

-16-


investigation, liability or obligation (an “Action or Proceeding”) against any Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants (or any other document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or thereto), or the transactions contemplated herein or therein, other than (a) Losses that are finally determined in such Action or Proceeding to be primarily and directly a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, (2) a breach of a fiduciary duty, if any, owed by such Indemnified Person to the Company, (3) the knowing violation of applicable law by such Indemnified Person, or (4) a transaction from which such Indemnified Person received an improper personal benefit, or (b) Losses that are the subject of the indemnification agreement entered into by the Company and such Indemnified Person pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, as to which Losses such indemnification agreement, rather than this Section 6.13 shall apply. The Company agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly for all such Losses as they are incurred by such Indemnified Person after the Company receives a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to reimburse the Company for any payments made by the Company to such Indemnified Person if it is finally determined in such Action or Proceeding that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to clause (iii) above. The obligations of the Company to each Indemnified Person under this Section 6.13 will be separate and distinct obligations and will survive any transfer of securities by Investor and the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants. THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR INTEND THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS BE INDEMNIFIED FROM LIABILITIES FOR THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 6.13.

 

(a) Each Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its agents, officers, directors, employees, representatives or affiliates (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) against any and all Losses sustained by the Company Indemnitees resulting from or arising out of, or connected with any material inaccuracy, breach of, or nonfulfillment of any representation or warranty made by or other obligation of such Investor contained in this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants; provided, however, that Losses that are the subject of the indemnification agreement entered into by the Company and such Indemnified Person pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants shall be governed by such indemnification agreement, rather than this Section 6.13.

 

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or a Company Indemnitee under this Section 6.13 of notice of the threat or commencement of any Action or Proceeding, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6.13, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.13 except to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Person or a Company Indemnitee and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory tosuch indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably

 

-17-


concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6.13 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless: (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing all of the similarly situated indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

 

6.14 No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor has not made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the purchase of the Securities as set forth in Section 1.1 and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4. Investor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance.

 

6.15 Telecopy Execution and Delivery. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties to this Agreement, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties to this Agreement by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party to this Agreement, all parties to this Agreement agree to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement.

 

6.16 Joinder of Investors. If any Additional Shares and Additional Warrants are issued and sold by the Company to an additional Investor at a Subsequent Closing, such additional Investor shall become party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a signature page hereto, and upon such execution and delivery, such additional Investor shall unconditionally and expressly agree to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by the terms hereof, and such Investor shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits of an Investor hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. An additional Investor’s signature page delivered pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall specify its principal place of business for purposes

 

-18-


of the representations set forth in Section 3.7 and the amount of such additional Investor’s Additional Shares and Additional Warrants.
