(vii)

stating that they have in addition carried out certain specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to certain pro forma financial information which is included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and that nothing has come to their attention as a result of such procedures that caused them to believe such unaudited pro forma financial information does not comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X or that the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of that information; and

(viii)

behalf of such Placement Agent, through its Counsel, directly or through the Placement Agent, expressly for use in an Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in any post-effective amendment, new registration statement or prospectus or in any application, as the case may be.

The indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may have at common law or otherwise.

(b)

The Placement Agent, severally but not jointly, hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, its agents and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Placement Agent but only with respect to statements or omissions, if any, made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in any post-effective amendment, new registration statement or prospectus, or in any application made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company with respect to the Placement Agent by such Placement Agent expressly for use in such Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any post-effective amendment, new registration statement or prospectus, or in any such application, directly related to the transactions effected by the Placement Agent in connection with this offering; provided that such written information or omissions only pertain to disclosures in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in any post-effective amendment, new registration statement or prospectus or in any such application, provided, further, that the liability of the Placement Agent to the Company shall be limited to the product of the Placement Agent’s commission for the Units multiplied by the number of Units sold by the Placement Agent hereunder. The Company acknowledges that the statements with respect to the public offering of the Securities set forth under the heading "Plan of Distribution" have been furnished by the Placement Agent expressly for use therein, and any information furnished by or on behalf of the Placement Agent filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities under State Securities laws or filed with the Commission or the NASD constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Placement Agent for inclusion in the Prospectus, and the Placement Agent hereby confirms that such statements and information are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof and do not omit a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall be so on each Closing Date and Subsequent Closing Date.

(c)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against one or more indemnifying parties under this Section 7, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be entitled to

participate therein, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, the indemnifying party may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action at the expense of the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to have charge of the d efense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnifying party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses of one additional counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Anything in this Section 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.

(d)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in any case in which (i) an indemnified party makes claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of this Section 7 provide for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative ben efits received by each of the contributing parties, on the one hand, and the party to be indemnified on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities or (B) if the allocation provided, by clause (A) 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 each of the contributing parties, on the one hand, and the party to be indemnified on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In any case where the Company is the contributing party and the Placement Agent is the indemnified party the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) bear to the tota l commissions received by the Placement Agent hereunder, in each case as set forth in the table on the Cover Page of the Prospectus. Relative fault 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 the Placement Agent and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subdivision (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. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Placement Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were of fered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement, and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to this subparagraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect to which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this subparagraph (d), notify such party or parties from wh om contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this subparagraph (d), or to the extent that such party or parties were not adversely affected by such omission. he contribution agreement set forth above shall be in addition to any liabilities which any indemnifying party may have at common law or otherwise.
