W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company is offering (the “Offering”) to a limited number of persons who qualify as “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shares (the “Shares”) of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred,” and together with the shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred, the “Securities”) on the terms and conditions described in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Offering is contingent upon the Company making sales of a number of shares of Preferred Stock which would provide the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $13,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”). The Company will sell a maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which would provide the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of $17,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) with an option in favor of the Company and the Placement Agent (as defined below) to offer additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock which would provide the Company with aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment”).

WHEREAS, Paramount BioCapital, Inc. (“Paramount”) and Punk Ziegel & Company, L.P. are acting as co-exclusive placement agents (together, the “Placement Agents”) for the Offering; and

WHEREAS, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to the Subscriber, a number of Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES.

1.1 Offering. The Company is offering the Securities to a limited number of persons who qualify as “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, on the terms and conditions described in this Agreement. The Minimum Offering Amount will be offered on an “all or none, best efforts” basis. Additional amounts, including the Over-Allotment, if exercised, will be offered on a “best efforts” basis. The Subscriber understands, however, that this purchase of the Securities is contingent upon the Company

making aggregate sales equal to or exceeding the “Minimum Offering Amount.” The per Share price shall be equal to $3.96 (the “Purchase Price”). The minimum number of Shares purchasable by any single investor shall be equal to $100,000 divided by the Purchase Price, subject to the discretion of the Company to accept subscriptions for lesser amounts.

1.2 Closing. At each closing (each a “Closing,” and the date thereof, the “Closing Date”), provided the Company has received the Minimum Offering Amount, the Company shall issue and sell to the Subscriber and the Subscriber shall purchase from the Company, a number of Shares equal to the quotient resulting from dividing (a) the total dollar amount of the Subscriber’s subscription as set forth on the signature page hereof that is accepted by the Company and the Placement Agents (the “Aggregate Purchase Price” as further defined below) by (b) the Purchase Price (the “Subscription Amount”), rounded down to the nearest whole share.

1.3 Closing Mechanics. The initial Closing shall be held at a date and time designated by the Company and the Placement Agents prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on April 30, 2006 (subject to extension at the discretion of the Company and the Placement Agents without notice to the Subscriber of up to 60 days), which date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days (as defined in Article 5) after satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in Article 4 hereof. The Closing shall occur at Paramount’s offices, located at 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Closing, the Placement Agents and the Company shall instruct US Bank Trust National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), to release the proceeds of the Offering to the Company, less fees and expenses due to the Placement Agents. Interest, if any, that has accrued with respect to the Aggregate Purchase Price while in escrow shall also be distributed to the Company at the Closing and the Subscriber will have no right to such interest, even if there is no Closing.

1.4 Payment of Aggregate Purchase Price. Upon, or prior to, the execution of this Agreement by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall deposit the amount of readily available funds equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price in a segregated escrow account with the Escrow Agent by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions provided below. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company’s and the Placement Agents’ option, each at its sole discretion, to refuse to accept subscriptions, in whole or in part, from any Subscriber), the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Securities and the Company agrees to sell such number of Securities to the Subscriber as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at the Aggregate Purchase Price as accepted by the Company and the Placement Agents.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SUBSCRIBER.

The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

2.1 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iii) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (iv) in the event of a disposition of the Securities, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and (v) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

2.2 The Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in the Confidential Investor Questionnaire, which are true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the relevant Closing Date, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company. If the Subscriber is a natural person, the Subscriber has reached the age of majority in the state or other jurisdiction in which the Subscriber resides, has adequate means of providing for the Subscriber’s current financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity in such investment and, at the present time, could afford a complete loss of such investment.

2.3 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Subscriber is knowledgeable, sophisticated and has experience in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments representing an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities and has prior investment experience, including investments in securities which are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX, the Nasdaq National Market or Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) or any other national stock exchange; (ii) the investment in the Securities is of a highly speculative

nature and involves a significant degree of risk, that the market price of the Common Stock has been and continues to be volatile and that Subscriber has carefully evaluated the risks of an investment in the Securities; and (iii) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and the potential loss of such investment, which risk the Subscriber hereby assumes.

2.4 The Subscriber has received and carefully reviewed this Agreement, the Company’s Confidential Offering Memorandum dated March 30, 2006 (together with all exhibits, appendices, supplements or amendments thereto, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, the “Memorandum”). The Subscriber further represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which the Subscriber, its investment advisor, attorney and/or accountant has requested or desired to know or which is otherwise relevant to an investment decision, has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and has received any additional information which the Subscriber or its advisors or agents has requested.

2.5 (a) The Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in making the decision to invest in the Securities. The Subscriber is familiar with and understands the terms of the Offering, including the rights to which the Subscriber is entitled under this Agreement. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Subscriber has not relied upon any representation or other information (whether oral or written) from the Company, or any agent, employee or Affiliate of the Company other than as set forth in the Memorandum, in this Agreement or resulting from the Subscriber’s own independent investigation. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement, the Memorandum or any other materials provided to the Subscriber in connection with the subscription for the Securities or sale of the Securities constitutes investment, tax or legal advice. To the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Subscriber in its sole discretion, the Subscriber has retained, at its sole expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and its purchase of the Securities hereunder.

(b) No Securities were offered or sold to the Subscriber by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith the Subscriber did not: (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

2.6 The Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors, has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

2.7 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Offering has not been reviewed, recommended or endorsed by the SEC or any state securities regulatory authority or other governmental body or agency, since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Subscriber shall not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber understands that if required by the laws or regulations or any applicable jurisdictions, the Offering contemplated hereby will be submitted to the appropriate authorities of such state(s) for registration or exemption therefrom.

2.8 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention and the truth and accuracy of, and Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, acknowledgments and covenants of Subscriber set forth herein. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the representations, warranties, acknowledgments and covenants of Subscriber set forth herein are true and correct, the Subscriber will comply with the covenants set forth herein, and the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others and has no contract, undertaking, agreement or other arrangement, in existence or contemplated, to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer the Securities to any other Person (as defined in Article 5). The Subscriber, if an entity, also represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.

2.9 The Subscriber understands that the Securities will not be registered or available for sale in the public markets except as specifically provided herein, and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering (and a two-year holding period for unlimited sales by non-Affiliates of the Company) without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws or assist the Subscriber in obtaining an exemption from various registration requirements, other than as set forth in Article 5 herein.

2.10 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Securities substantially as set forth below, that such Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Securities.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS

AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

2.11 The Subscriber agrees to supply the Company, within five (5) days after the Subscriber receives the request therefor from the Company, with such additional information concerning the Subscriber as the Company deems necessary or advisable in order to establish or verify the Subscriber’s representations contained herein.

2.18 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company that the Offering is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D, and/or the provisions of Regulation S, that are in part dependent upon the truth, completeness and accuracy of the statements made by the Subscriber.

2.19 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that there can be no assurance that the Subscriber will be able to sell or dispose of the Securities. It is understood than in order not to jeopardize the Offering’s exempt status under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, in addition to any other restrictions on transfer set forth herein, the Company may, at a minimum, require any transferee to fulfill the Subscriber suitability requirements thereunder and make the representations, warranties and covenants of Subscriber hereunder.

2.20 The Subscriber represents and warrants that during the period commencing upon the date that the Subscriber was first contacted with respect to the Offering (the “First Date”) the Subscriber has not, directly or indirectly, through related parties, Affiliates or otherwise, sold “short” or “short against the box” (as such terms are generally understood) and until the Registration Statement (as defined in Article 5) are declared effective, will not sell “short” or “short against the box” any equity security of the Company or take any action with respect to any equity security of the Company which would violate the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and from the First Date through the relevant Closing Date or termination of this Agreement has not and will not take any action the intent or reasonably foreseeable effect of which is to reduce the trading price of the Common Stock.

5.1 As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person (as defined below), any other Person controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such Person (for the purposes of this definition “control,” when used with respect to any specified Person, shall mean the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing).

(b) “Business Day” shall mean a day Monday through Friday on which banks are generally open for business in New York, New York.

(c) “Holders” shall mean the Subscribers and any Person holding Registrable Securities or any Person to whom the rights under Article 5 have been transferred in accordance with Section 5.9 hereof.

(d) “Person” shall mean any person, individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other nongovernmental entity or any governmental agency, court, authority or other body (whether foreign, federal, state, local or otherwise).

(e) The terms “register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to the registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement under the Securities Act.

(f) “Registrable Securities” shall mean the Shares, the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, the Placement Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or distribution with respect to or in replacement of the Shares issued, directly or indirectly, in connection with this Offering; provided, however, that securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and only for so long as they (i) have not been sold (A) pursuant to a registration statement; (B) to or through a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction; and/or (C) in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the consummation of such sale; (ii) are held by a Holder or a permitted transferee; or (iii) are not eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Placement Warrant Shares” shall mean the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Warrants.

(g) “Registration Expenses” shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 5.2 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the fees of legal counsel for any Holder).

(h) “Selling Expenses” shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and all fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder.

(i) “Subsidiary” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of stock or other interests entitled to vote in the election of directors or comparable Persons performing similar functions (excluding shares or other interests entitled to vote only upon the failure to pay dividends thereon or other contingencies) are at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, by such Person.

5.2 Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Company will use its best efforts to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC on the appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) within 60 days from the later of (x) the first date on which the Common Stock trades on a national exchange or on the NASDAQ, including the OTC Bulletin Board (a “Trading Event”) and (y) the final Closing Date (the date such Registration Statement is actually filed, the “Filing Date”) to allow the resale of the Registrable Securities (allocated on a pro rata basis among the Holders) under the Securities Act, and use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC prior to the date which is the earlier of (i) 120 days after the Filing Date, or if the Registration Statement is

subject to review and comments from the staff of the SEC, 150 days after such date; and (ii) five trading days after the Company is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review (the date following such 5, 120 or 150-day period, as applicable, the “Registration Effective Date”). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective (the “Registration Period”) until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Subscriber may sell all the Shares (or the shares of Common Stock into which the Shares are convertible) then held by the Subscriber pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act and (ii) such time as all Securities held by the Subscriber and registered under the Registration Statement have been sold (A) pursuant to a registration statement; (B) to or through a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction; and/or (C) in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the consummation of such sale. To the extent permissible, such Registration Statement also shall include, or subsequently be amended to include, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416 under the Securities Act), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. In the event the Company has not filed the Registration Statement within 60 days from the earlier of the Trading Event and the final Closing Date, or is not effective by the Registration Effective Date, then the Company shall make compensatory payments (the “Liquidated Damages”) to the Subscriber in an amount equal to one (1) percent of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber hereunder for each 30-day period (or prorated portion thereof) in which the Company is in default of its obligations under Section 5.2, provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 12.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by any Subscriber for such Subscriber’s Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay any Liquidated Damages to Subscribers within five (5) business days of the end of each 30-day period in which such Liquidated Damages have accrued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to make compensatory payments to the Holder in the event that it has not satisfied the requirements of this Section 5.2 because it was prohibited from including, or requested not to include, all or any of the Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement by the SEC (including the staff of the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance), the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, provided, however, that the Company uses its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be registered on a Registration Statement as soon as permitted by the SEC, the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

5.3 All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification, exemption or compliance pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities registered by or on behalf of Holders shall be borne by such Holders.

5.4 In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform each Holder as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state or federal securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective until the termination of the Registration Period;

(b) advise the Holders as soon as practicable:

(i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(iv) of the happening of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (which notice will be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until such changes have been made);

(c) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement at the earliest possible time;

(d) furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements, all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) and schedules, if the Holder so requests in writing;

(e) during the Registration Period, deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request; and the Company consents to the use, consistent with the provisions hereof, of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, register or qualify or obtain an exemption for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any such Holders reasonably request in writing, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement in the sole discretion of the Company;

(g) to the extent permitted under applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends to the extent not required at such time and in such denominations and registered in such names as Holders may request;

(h) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5.4(b)(iv) above, the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter promptly delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and use commercially reasonable efforts to make generally available to its security holders not later than 45 days (or 90 days if the fiscal quarter is the fourth fiscal quarter) after the end of its fiscal quarter in which the first anniversary date of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (i) of this Section 5.4, that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Securities to be sold by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of such Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Securities, all of which information shall be furnished to the Company in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement.

5.5 The Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

5.6 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder with respect to (i) any registration, qualification or compliance effected pursuant to this Agreement against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof),

including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 5.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and will reimburse each Holder for reasonable legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action arises out of, relates to or is based upon: (i) any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of such Registration Statement or prospectus; or (ii) the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage, liability or action arises out of or is related to the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates primarily to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or in the prospectus subject to completion under Rule 434 promulgated under the Securities Act, which together meet the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder, any such underwriter or any such controlling Person, if a copy of the Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished by the Holder to the Person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim, damage or at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim, damage or action.

(b) Each Holder will severally, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 5.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light

of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of such registration statement or prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Holder be liable for any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable Securities, except in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.6(d) was based solely upon the number of entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5.6(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 5.6(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other

expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, subject to the provisions of Section 5.6(d) hereof. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations as set forth in this Section 5.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.6(d), in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount or make any other payments under this Agreement which in the aggregate exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.7 (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of (i) the need for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof or (ii) that the Board of Directors has determined in good faith that offers and sales pursuant to the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement should not be made by reason of the presence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in the Registration Statement would be premature or would have a Material Adverse Effect, each Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 5.2 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company or confirmation of the filing of such report with the SEC by the Company, any such prospectus to be forwarded promptly to the Holder by the Company, and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice; provided, that the Company may suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement pursuant to clause (ii) above for the shortest reasonable period in the circumstances, not more than one time (not to exceed 90 days) during any six-month period, nor more than two times (not to exceed 90 days each) in any twelve-month period.

(b) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing or as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article 5, including the information required by the Registration Questionnaire attached hereto as Appendix A.

(c) Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied.

(d) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement described in this Section are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer

agent evidencing such Registrable Securities is accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (i) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with such Registration Statement and (ii) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.

(e) Each Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

(f) At the end of the period during which the Company is obligated to keep the Registration Statement current and effective as described above, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by the Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

5.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any unregistered Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

5.9 The right to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 5.2 may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities, but only if: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such Holder gives prior written notice of the proposed transfer to the Company including the name and address of such transferee and a copy of the transfer documents and agreements; (iii) such transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by and comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D and ; (v) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.9, the rights of a Holder with

respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, the Company may impose stop transfer orders with respect to any such transfer or attempted transfer, and any such transfer or attempted transfer shall be null and void.

5.10 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

5.11 With the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities that are then outstanding, any provision of this Article 5 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended. Upon the effectuation of each such waiver or amendment, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holders, if any, who have not previously received notice thereof or consented thereto in writing.
