(b)  As used in this Section 4.07 and in Section 4.08, the term “New Securities” shall mean (i) any capital stock of the Company, (ii) any rights, options or warrants to purchase any such capital stock, or to purchase any equity or debt securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exercisable for any such capital stock, and (iii) any equity or debt securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exercisable for any such capital stock; provided, however, that “New Securities” shall not include (A) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of options, debentures, notes, warrants or rights outstanding as of the date hereof, (B) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or legal entity by the Company by merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of such other entity’s assets, or acquisition transaction in which the Company participates on an arm’s length basis, (C) securities (including options) issued in connection with any director or employee stock option plan or stock option agreement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof), (D) any securities issued in replacement of any securities of the Company outstanding as of the date hereof, (E) any securities issued to all holders of shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis, (F) any securities issued in connection with an underwritten public

14

offering by the Company or (G) securities (including Common Stock, or options or warrants to acquire Common Stock, or Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of options or warrants to acquire Common Stock) listed in the Disclosure Letter under Section 2.03.

 

(c)  In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give Purchaser written notice of its intention to do so at least 20 days prior to such issuance, describing the New Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the “Original Notice”). Purchaser may purchase up to the entire amount of such New Securities being issued for the price and upon the terms and conditions pertaining to the issuance of the New Securities (notwithstanding any changes that may be made to the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Notice) by giving a written notice to the Company no later than 10 days after the date of receiving the Original Notice (“Notice Date”) identifying the number of New Securities to be purchased. If Purchaser elects to purchase any New Securities within such 10 day period, such New Securities shall be issued and sold to it in accordance with the terms and conditions pertaining to the issuance of the New Securities (notwithstanding any changes that may be made to the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Notice). Any New Securities that the Purchaser elected not to purchase may be sold by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions pertaining to such issuance of New Securities.

 

(d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, upon any purchase of any New Securities by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.07 on a later date than the issuance of the New Securities that gave rise to the Purchaser’s purchase rights under Section 4.07, (i) the purchase price shall be adjusted by subtracting therefrom the value of any dividend or distribution received in respect of such New Securities after the date of such issuance and prior to the purchase by the Purchaser hereunder, and (ii) the purchase price and number of shares or amount to be purchased shall be adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other combination or reclassification of the capital stock during such time.

 

(e)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, in the event the Company proposes to issue New Securities only to the existing stockholders of the Company, Purchaser shall only have the right to purchase its “proportionate share” of such New Securities on the terms and conditions set forth in such proposed offering of New Securities to the existing stockholders. For purposes of this Section 4.07(e), Purchaser’s “proportionate share” means the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and sold to the existing stockholders multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares and Warrant Shares (even if the Warrant has not been exercised) held by the Purchaser on such date and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (determined on a fully diluted basis assuming full exercise and conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, rights and other securities which are convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock). In connection with the issuance of New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.07(e), the Company shall give the existing stockholders (including Purchaser) written notice of its intention to do so at least 30 days prior to such issuance, describing the New Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the “Original Existing Stockholder Notice”), and each existing stockholder shall have 15 days to elect to purchase its proportionate share of such New Securities (the “Existing Stockholder Notice Date”). In the event any of the existing stockholders

15

have notified the Company that they do not elect to purchase all or part of its proportionate share of such New Securities, then the Company shall notify Purchaser of such fact on the Existing Stockholder Notice Date, and Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase the remaining New Securities not elected to be purchased by the existing stockholders by providing notice to the Company within 10 days after the Existing Stockholder Notice Date.

 

(f)  The provisions of this Section 4.07 shall terminate upon the date on which Purchaser shall hold less than the Minimum Interest.

 

4.08  Preemptive Rights.

 

(a)  In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities after the date hereof and Purchaser has elected not to exercise his right of first refusal pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof, Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its “proportionate share” of such New Securities on the terms and conditions set forth herein. For purposes of this Section 4.08, the Purchaser’s “proportionate share” means the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and sold multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares and Warrant Shares (even if the Warrant has not been exercised) held by the Purchaser on such date and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (determined on a fully diluted basis assuming full exercise and conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, rights and other securities which are convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock).

 

(b)  In the event Purchaser has given written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 4.07(c) that he will not purchase any New Securities or the Notice Date has passed and Purchaser has given no written notice to the Company, Purchaser may then purchase such number of New Securities up to Purchaser’s proportionate share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions pertaining to the issuance of the New Securities (notwithstanding any changes that may be made to the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Notice) by giving a written notice to the Company no earlier than 10 days but no later than 20 days after the date of receiving the Original Notice identifying the number of New Securities to be purchased. If Purchaser elects to purchase any New Securities within such 10 day period, such New Securities shall be issued and sold to it in accordance with the terms and conditions pertaining to the issuance of the New Securities (notwithstanding any changes that may be made to the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Notice). Any New Securities that the Purchaser elected not to purchase may be sold by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions pertaining to such issuance of New Securities.

 

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.08, upon any purchase of any New Securities by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.08 on a later date than the issuance of the New Securities that gave rise to the Purchaser’s purchase rights under Section 4.08, (i) the purchase price shall be adjusted by subtracting therefrom the value of any dividend or distribution received in respect of such New Securities after the date of such issuance and prior to the purchase by the Purchaser hereunder, and (ii) the purchase price and number of shares or amount to be purchased shall be adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other combination or reclassification of the capital stock during such time.

7.03  Entire Agreement; Amendment.    This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the documents described herein and therein or attached or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto set forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time by an agreement in writing between the parties hereto executed in the same manner as this Agreement. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No investigation by Purchaser

23

of the Company prior to or after the date hereof shall stop or prevent Purchaser from exercising any right hereunder or be deemed to be a waiver of any such right.

 

7.04 Indemnification.

 

(a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and save harmless Purchaser and IHM, and each person who controls IHM within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and each of the respective partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates of the foregoing in their respective capacities as such (the “Purchaser Indemnities”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, costs, damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement (subject to Section 7.04(b)) and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”) relating to our arising out of any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company herein or in the Disclosure Letter when made or deemed made.

 

(b)  A Purchaser Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after discovery by such party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Purchaser Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligation under this Section 7.04 unless and to the extent that the Company shall have been prejudiced by the failure of such Purchaser Indemnitee to so notify the Company. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against a Purchaser Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser Indemnitee, and after notice from the Company of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to such Purchaser Indemnitee under this Section 7.04 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the Company shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) if such Purchaser Indemnitee reasonably determines that there may be a material conflict between the positions of the Company and of Purchaser Indemnitee in defending such claim or action, then separate counsel shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, and the Company shall be liable for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Purchaser Indemnitee in connection with the defense. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company further agrees that it will not, without Purchaser Indemnitee’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Purchaser Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action, suit, claim or proceeding) unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of Purchaser and each other Purchaser Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.

 

(c)  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.04 shall survive the transfer of the Common Stock and/or Warrants or the termination of this Agreement or the

24

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the rights of Purchaser Indemnitees to indemnification under this Section 7.04 shall apply only where written notice of any claim with respect to which a Purchaser Indemnitee seeks indemnification is delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 7.04(b) above not later than the first year anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

(d)  The rights of Purchaser under this Section 7.04 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to Purchaser under this Agreement, at common law or otherwise.

 

7.05  Expenses.    Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrant Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the fees and expenses of financial advisors, accountants and counsel.

 

7.06  Public Announcements.    Except as otherwise required by Law, Purchaser, IHM and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their respective representatives to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or make any other public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other party, which consent shall be provided promptly and shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except as otherwise required by Law, Purchaser, IHM and the Company will cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of all press releases and other public announcements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and will furnish the other with drafts of any such releases and announcements as far in advance as practicable.

 

7.07  Waiver.    Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

 

7.08  No Assignment; Binding Effect.    Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any attempt to do so will be void, except (a) for assignments and transfers by operation of Law and (b) that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to a wholly-owned subsidiary or other Affiliate or to IHM, in each case, or an Affiliate of IHM, in each case, that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, provided that any such subsidiary or other Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained herein, but no such assignment referred to in clause (b) shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts. The parties hereto consent to and grant the Chosen Courts exclusive jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in such manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereon.
