2.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchasers.
a. Purchaser Status. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (i) the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Purchaser is also knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to evaluate the risks and merits and make decisions with respect to investments in securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities and is able to bear the risks of this investment; (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring the Securities in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; (iii) the Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities (including the Warrant Shares) except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iv) the Purchaser has answered all questions on the Investor Questionnaire for use in preparation of the Registration Statement and the answers thereto are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof and will be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the Closing Date; (v) the Purchaser has delivered to the Company the Investor Questionnaire; (vi) the Purchaser will notify the Company immediately of any material change in any of such information until such time as the

Purchaser has sold all of its Shares and Warrant Shares or until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective; and (vii) the Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the Securities, relied only upon the SEC Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. Each Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchasers’ investment intent as expressed herein.
b. Foreign Offering. Each Purchaser acknowledges, represents and agrees that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company that would permit an offering of the Securities, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issuance of the Securities, in any jurisdiction outside the United States where legal action by the Company for that purpose is required. Each Purchaser outside the United States will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the Securities or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense.
c. Resale Restrictions. Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without satisfying all requirement of an applicable exemption under the Securities Act for such sale. Each Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company determines that it must suspend the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, as set forth in Section 3.2(c). Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will be imprinted with the following legend that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
d. Short Positions. Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to use any of the Shares or the Warrant Shares, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, to cover any short position in the Common Stock of the Company if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws.
e. No Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in the SEC Documents, this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchasers in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.
f. Organization; Authority. Each Purchaser is either an individual residing in the state as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, or a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation in either case with the requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out the obligations hereunder. The purchase by each Purchaser of the Shares and the Warrants hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser. This Agreement
8
has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each Purchaser, enforceable against each Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity and except that rights to indemnification and contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
g. Risk. Each Purchaser has carefully reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Shares and the Warrants, and an investment in the Company. Each Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current needs and possible future contingencies, and each Purchaser has no need, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares. Each Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of this investment and, consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Purchaser is able to hold the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time and has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company if such loss should occur. Each Purchaser understands that each of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares is a highly speculative investment, which involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment therein.
h. Reliance. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being offered and sold to the Purchasers without registration under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the representations set forth in this Section 2.2, including, without limitation, the accredited investor status and the investment intent of the Purchasers, and each Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
i. Information. Each Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares and the Warrants which have been requested by such Purchaser or its advisors. Each Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and obtain any additional information, which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, that is necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information set forth in any such material. Representatives of the Company have adequately answered all inquiries that the Purchasers has made of them concerning the Company or any other matters relating to the operation of the Company and sale of the Shares and Warrants.
j. Taxes. Each Purchaser is aware that the Company and its representatives assume no responsibility for the tax consequences to the Purchasers of any investment in the Company.
k. No Representation or Promise. No one has ever represented or promised expressly or by implication, any of the following: (i) the approximate or exact length of time that Purchasers will be required to remain as owner of the Shares or Warrant Shares, (ii) the amount or type of profit, or loss (including tax write-offs and/or tax benefits) to be realized, if any, as a result of the Purchaser’s investment, or (iii) that the past performance or experience of the officers or directors of the Company or any affiliate, their associates, agents, or employees or of any other person gives any assurance that the Company will be a success.
9
l. Offering Literature; No Advertisement.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT
3.1 Registration Procedures and Other Matters. The Company shall:
a. subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers after prompt request from the Company to the Purchasers to provide such information, (i) prepare and file with the SEC, within 45 days after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the “Registration Statement” and the date of filing of the Registration Statement, the “Filing Date”) to enable the public, unrestricted resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares (and shall include in the Registration Statement or promptly file an amendment to the Registration Statement to register any Additional Shares or Warrant Shares issued pursuant to Section 1.3, shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(a), and shares of Common Stock (or other securities convertible into Common Stock) issued pursuant to Section 4.6 (collectively, the “Subsequent Shares”)) by the Purchasers from time to time, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the earlier of July 29, 2008 or 120 days after the Filing Date if the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) does not undertake a review of the Registration Statement (a “Review”) or by the earlier of August 28, 2008 or 150 days after the Filing Date if the SEC does undertake a Review (the applicable date by which effectiveness is to be achieved being herein referred to as the “Effectiveness Due Date”), and (ii) if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Effectiveness Due Date, then the number of Shares sold to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement shall be increased by one percent (1%) for the 30-day period beginning on the day after the Registration Statement was to be declared effective and two percent (2%) for each 30-day period thereafter until the Registration Statement is declared effective; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares to be issued under this Section 3.1(a) shall be 10% of the number originally purchased pursuant to this Agreement. All Shares to effect Section 3.1(a)(ii) will be delivered to the Purchasers within ten days of each delinquency.
10
b. use its reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith (the “Prospectus”) as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement current, effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact for a period not exceeding, with respect to each Purchaser’s Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares, the earlier of (i) the date on which the Purchasers may sell all Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares then held by the Purchasers under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or (ii) such time as all Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares have been sold by the Purchasers;
c. furnish to the Purchasers with respect to the Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement, Prospectuses and preliminary Prospectuses, if applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request in light of then existing securities laws, rules and regulations, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares, Warrant Shares or Subsequent Shares by the Purchasers; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver copies of Prospectuses or preliminary Prospectuses, if applicable, to the Purchasers shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable assurances from the Purchasers that the Purchasers will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such other securities or blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of such Prospectuses or preliminary Prospectuses;
d. file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchasers and use its best efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.1(b); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;
e. bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraph (a) through (d) of this Section 3.1 and the registration of the Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement; and
f. advise the Purchasers promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued.
The Company understands that each Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but that any Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder; provided, however that if the Company receives notification from the SEC that any Purchaser is deemed an underwriter, then the period by which the Company is obligated to submit an acceleration request to the SEC shall be extended to the earlier of (i) the 90th day after such SEC notification, or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC.
3.2 Transfer of Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares After Registration; Suspension.
a. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares or the Subsequent Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 3.1 (with respect to the Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares) and as described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding itself or its plan of distribution.
11
b. Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall (i) prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares, Warrant Shares or Subsequent Shares being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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; and (ii) inform each Purchaser if the Company files a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, and will use its reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as reasonably possible and will promptly notify the Purchasers pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof when the amendment has become effective.
c. Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares, Warrant Shares or Subsequent Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes, or in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or any plan or proposal of the Company with respect to its corporate development, financing or other activities to make such changes, in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state 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; then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to each Purchaser (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchasers will refrain from selling any Shares, Warrant Shares or Subsequent Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the then current Prospectus may be used; provided, however, that there may be no more than one Suspension in any 12-month period. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed and the Registration Statement to be effective as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 90 days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchasers.
d. Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Purchasers may sell the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Subsequent Shares under the Registration Statement once effective, provided that it arranges for any required delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such shares.
12
e. In the event of a sale of the Shares, the Warrant Shares or the Subsequent Shares by the Purchasers pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Purchasers must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, so that the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Subsequent Shares may be properly transferred.
3.3 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 2.2 or this Article III upon the transferability of the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Subsequent Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of Shares, Warrant Shares and Subsequent Shares when such shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS
4.1 Reservation of Warrant Shares. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is insufficient to cover the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitation on exercises and a Purchaser indicates that it desires to exercise a Warrant, the Company will pursue best efforts to acquire the authority for issuance sufficient for the exercise of such Warrant. If any Investors have indicated an intention to exercise Warrants but the Company has not acquired the authority for sufficient shares to honor the election, such Investors’ Warrants shall not expire until the exercise of those Warrants has been honored.

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no affiliate of the Company shall sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the shares Common Stock to the Purchasers.

13
b. The Company shall on or as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (including at least the amount of Securities sold and proceeds therefrom).
4.6 Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(i) $0.08, divided by
(ii) the effective per share sale price for the Common Stock in the Discounted Price Transaction, with such quotient then being multiplied by
(iii) the number of shares issued to such Purchaser in the Offering.
b. The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.6 shall not apply to any issuance of shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 4 of the Warrant.
c. No additional shares of Common Stock will be issued under paragraph (a) above due to, or as a result of, any Permitted Issuances. “Permitted Issuances” shall mean (i) Common Stock issued pursuant to a stock split or subdivision, (ii) Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Warrants or any other securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into shares of Common Stock, outstanding as of the date hereof.

If, any time prior to the three year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company re-prices any warrants or options (whether or not such warrants or options are outstanding as of the date hereof) or extends the exercise period of any such warrant or option, then each such warrant and option shall be deemed, for purposes of this Section 4.6 to be an issue or sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares that may be acquired upon exercise of such warrant or option at an effective price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.01.
f. The "Anti-Dilution End Date" shall mean (i) for purposes of this Section 4.6 other than Section 4.6(e), the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date, and (ii) for purposes of Section 4.6(e), the date that is three years after the Closing Date.

Within thirty (30) days after the issuance of New Securities (a “Financing”), the Company shall give notice to Prime Mover Capital Partners, LP (the “Lead Purchaser”), which notice shall describe the type, price, and terms of the New Securities (as defined below). The Lead Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of such notice to elect to purchase up to 10% of the number of New Securities that were sold in the Financing. The closing of such sale shall occur within sixty (60) days of the date of notice to the Lead Purchaser consisting of the same type, price, and terms of the New Securities that were issued in the Financing. The Lead Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.8 shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Lead Purchaser shall be entitled to apportion the right granted to it by this Section 4.8 among itself and its partners, members, and affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate. For purposes of this Agreement, a Financing shall exclude the issuance of: (i) compensatory grants of shares of Common Stock or options or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a compensation plan, agreement, or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided that such grants are not made in connection with a capital raising transaction or as compensation for services in connection with the promotion or maintaining of a market for the Company's securities; (ii) securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the date hereof; (iii) securities issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend of the Company; (iv) securities in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock, or otherwise; (v) stock, warrants, or other securities or rights to persons with which the Company has business relationships provided such issuances are for other than capital raising purposes and provided that at the time of any such issuance, the aggregate of such issuance and similar issuances in the preceding twelve month period do not exceed 2% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, “New Securities” shall mean equity securities of the Company, whether now authorized or not, or rights, options, or warrants to purchase said equity securities, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for said equity securities.
4.9 Matters Related to the Board of Directors. Upon the Closing, the Company shall take all acts necessary to effect an increase in the size of the Board of Directors to facilitate the election of two individuals reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Lead Investor, and shall support the appointment of each to serve until the next meeting of the shareholders. Promptly after the Closing, the Board of Directors shall evaluate a reverse stock split of at least 15 to 1 and up to 100 to 1.
4.10 Limitation on Issuance of Options and Warrants.

O'Hayer at the Closing Date (whether or not then payable) shall be paid in full within three months following the Closing Date. The Company will use its best efforts to, within three months following the Closing Date, either (i) pay in full all amounts of debt owed by the Company to each of the DIP Financers at the Closing Date (whether or not then payable), or (ii) have each of the DIP Financers convert such debt into an equity interest in the Company. The "DIP Financers" shall mean Dr. Glynn A. Bergaron, John E. Matthews, K. Russell Simpson, Julian Stern, Curtis Anderson, James Tobey Roberts, Dr. Jules Paderewski, Memorial Health Trust and Dr. Joseph McKenzie.
4.12 Right of First Refusal for Warrants. Subject to Section 7.5, if a Purchaser (the “Transferring Purchaser”) proposes to transfer any Warrant(s) (the "Transfer Warrants"), then the Transferring Purchaser shall promptly give written notice (the "Transfer Notice") of such proposed transfer to the Lead Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. The Transfer Notice shall set forth the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, including, without limitation, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Transfer Warrant, the cash consideration to be paid per warrant (or, in the event that the consideration is other than cash, the value of the consideration as determined in good faith by the Transferring
15
Purchaser) (the "Purchase Price Per Warrant"), and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee (each, a "Proposed Transferee"). The Transferring Purchaser shall enclose with the Transfer Notice a copy of any written offer, letter of intent or other written document signed by the Proposed Transferee(s) setting forth the proposed terms and conditions of the transfer. For a period of three (3) days following the date (the "Transfer Notice Date") on which the Transfer Notice is given to the Lead Purchaser (the "Lead Purchaser Acceptance Period"), the Lead Purchaser shall have the right to purchase such Warrant(s) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. If the Lead Purchaser desires to exercise its right to purchase all or any portion of such Transfer Warrants, it shall give written notice (the "Lead Investor Notice") to the Transferring Purchaser, with a copy to the Company, no later than the expiration of the Lead Investor Acceptance Period. The Lead Investor Notice shall state that the Lead Investor desires to purchase all of the Transfer Warrants or, if the Lead Investor desires to purchase less than all of the Transfer Warrants, the number of Transfer Warrants the Lead Investor desires to purchase. If the Transferring Purchaser fails or refuses to deliver on a timely basis a certificate or certificates representing such Transfer Warrants properly endorsed for transfer, the Company shall effect the transfer of the Transfer Warrants to the Lead Purchaser in accordance with this Section 4.12 and thereafter the Transferring Purchaser shall look only to the Lead Purchaser for payment.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.
(iii) In case any action shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Persons with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons. Such Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Company shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any implied parties) include both the Indemnified Person and the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are materially different from or additional to those available to the Company, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with such action or similar or related actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all the Indemnified Persons, which firm shall be (x) designated by such Indemnified Persons and (y) reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Company. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment on or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such action, claim litigation or proceeding.
(iv) Each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each of the Indemnified Persons, but only (i) (x) with respect to actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or (y) with respect to the preliminary Prospectus, any matters which result from the fact that such Holder sold Equity Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if the Company shall have previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder in accordance with this Agreement and said Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, would have corrected such untrue statement or
19
omission, and (ii) to the extent of the net cash proceeds, if any, received by such Holder from the sale or other disposition of his or its Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company in Section 6.1(c)(ii), and the Company or its directors or officers or such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by Section 6.1(c)(ii). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any the Company or any other Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of securities by any applicable Holder.
(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.1(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 6.1(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv) (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party (in the case of the Holders severally and not jointly), in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder on the other hand from sale of Registrable Securities or (ii) if such allocation provided by clause (i) above 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 Company and such Holder in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of such Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Holder and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid to a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities judgments and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1(c)(iii) and Section 6.1(c)(iv), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
(vi) The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.1(c)(vi) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.1(c)(vi), no Holder (and none of its related Indemnified Persons) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(vii) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6.1(c) are in addition to any liability which the indemnifying person may otherwise have to the Indemnified persons referred to above.
