promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber's responses
to the questions contained in Article VII hereof, and that the Subscriber is
able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities.
1.4 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the
Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior
investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed,
unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange or the

1.5 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of
this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and all other exhibits thereto
(collectively referred to as the "Offering Materials") and hereby represents
that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the
Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of
the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or
desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to review the Company's
SEC Reports (as defined below) and to ask questions of and receive answers from
duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the
Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering; provided, however that no
investigation performed by or on behalf of the Subscriber shall limit or
otherwise affect its right to rely on the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein.
1.6 (a) In making the decision to invest in the Securities the
Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the
Offering Materials. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at

registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or "blue sky"

the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws or unless an exemption from such

investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that

investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute an agreement
by the Subscriber to hold the Securities for any particular length of time and
the Company acknowledges that the Subscriber shall at all times retain the right
to dispose of its property as it may determine in its sole discretion, subject
to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. The Subscriber, if an entity,
further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the

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 such
Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form
substantially similar to the following:

furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber's

address if it is a corporation or other entity.

certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement securities.
If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any securities is

5.4 Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Subscriber, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and controlling persons (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from
and against , any and all loss, liability, damage or deficiency suffered or
incurred by any Indemnified Party by reason of any misrepresentation or breach
of warranty by the Company or, after any applicable notice and/or cure periods,
nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement to be performed or complied with by
the Company under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents; and will promptly
reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all expenses (including reasonable fees
and expenses of legal counsel) as incurred in connection with the investigation
of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim related to or
arising in any manner out of any of the foregoing, or any action or proceeding
arising therefrom (collectively, "Proceedings"), whether or not such Indemnified
Party is a formal party to any such Proceeding.
(b) If for any reason (other than a final non-appealable judgment
finding any Indemnified Party liable for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) the foregoing indemnity
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by an Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on
the other, but also the relative fault by the Company and the Indemnified Party,
as well as any relevant equitable considerations.
(c) Each Subscriber agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of
its officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, control persons and principal
shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or
damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed
upon the Company, its Subsidiary or any such person which results, arises out of
or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by the Subscriber or
13
breach of any warranty by the Subscriber in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or
Schedules attached hereto or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure
periods, any breach or default in performance by the Subscriber of any covenant
or undertaking to be performed by the Subscriber hereunder, or any other
Transaction Documents entered into by the Company and Subscriber relating
hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of the
Subscriber hereunder be greater than the aggregate subscription amount paid for
the Securities as set forth on the signature page hereto.

between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes

enforceable, and no provisions shall be deemed dependent upon any other covenant
or provision unless so expressed herein.

on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if

rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.
6.12 In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Subscriber and the
Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The

any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
