ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL. SECTION 5.12 RESTRICTED SECURITIES.

The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investment considerations in development-stage companies. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the IG2 in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of its net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser. SECTION 5.16 NO NEED FOR LIQUIDITY.

Once the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed to pay any claim pursuant to this Section 8.4.1, or once any dispute under this Section 8.4.1 has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, subject to the provisions of Section 8.6.1, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of acknowledgement or resolution, as the case may be, to such account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the Indemnified Party. 8.4.2 Third-Party Claims. (a) In the event that any Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an affiliate of a party to this Agreement (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") against an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the "CLAIMS NOTICE") within 20 days after learning of such claim (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such claim), together with a statement specifying the basis of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the "DEFENSE NOTICE") within 20 days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of the Claims Notice, which Defense Notice shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such claim ("DEFENSE COUNSEL"), to conduct at its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party within such 20 day period fails to give the Defense Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim without prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and subject to the provisions of Section 8.6.1, the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all 13 14 reasonable costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred in connection therewith. (c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim for indemnification against it, such Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party to such effect within 20 days after receipt of the Claims Notice (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such Third Party Claim). In such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim, with the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, once such dispute has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by mutual agreement of the Indemnified and Indemnifying Party, subject to the provisions of Section 8.6.1, the Indemnifying Party shall within 10 days of the date of such resolution or agreement, pay to the Indemnified Party all reasonable costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim. (d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party will not settle the Third Party Claim or cease to defend against any Third Party Claim as to which it has delivered a Defense Notice, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, such consent may be withheld for any reason if, as a result of such settlement or cessation of defense, (i) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. (e) If an Indemnified Party refuses to consent to a bona fide offer of settlement which provides for a full release of the Indemnified Party and its affiliates relating to the claims underlying the offer of settlement and solely for a monetary payment which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, the Indemnified Party may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. In such an event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the amount of the offer of settlement which the Indemnified Party refused to accept plus the reasonable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party of the offer of settlement. (f) Notwithstanding clause (c) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified 14 15 Party, (ii) to the extent such claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (iii) if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will still have all of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, the Indemnified Party will not settle the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (g) A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 8.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. SECTION 8.5 LIMITATIONS ON AND OTHER MATTERS REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION. 8.5.1 Indemnity Cushion and Cap. Subject to Section 8.5.2, the Seller shall not have any liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to Losses arising out of any of the matters referred to in Sections 8.2 until such time as the amount of such liability shall exceed (i) $75,000 (in which case the Seller shall be liable for all Losses in excess of such amount).

The obligation of the Seller to indemnify under Section 8.2 hereof shall terminate on March 27, 2002, except as to matters as to which the Purchaser Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification on or prior to such date. The obligation to indemnify referred to in the preceding sentence shall survive the expiration of such period until such claim for indemnification is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied. 8.5.3 Termination of Indemnification Obligations of the Purchaser. The obligation of the Purchaser to indemnify under Section 8.3 hereof shall terminate on March 27, 2002 except as to matters as to which the Seller has made a claim for indemnification on or prior to such date, in which case the right to indemnification with respect thereto shall survive such period until such claim for indemnification is resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied and except to any Fidelity Liability, which shall continue to survive. 8.5.4 Treatment.
