(b) Each Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Investor) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure by such Investor to comply with Section 5.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Registrable Shares or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Investor herein or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred, as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise to the extent it is not actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably 12 concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions or defenses of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless: (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action and all other purchasers of Shares in this financing who may be parties to such action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions or defenses of such indemnified party and the positions or defenses of other indemnified parties or other purchasers in conducting the defense of any such action, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel to assume such legal defenses) or (ii) the indemnified party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnity agreements contained in Section 7.3(a) and (b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or to amounts paid in settlement of any action if the indemnifying party is not fully released under such settlement from any claim or liability under such action. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Investors from the sale of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 the relative fault of the Company and the Investors in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investors on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Investors to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Investors that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the "Difference") between the amount the Investors paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by the Investors from such sale. The relative fault of the Investors shall be determined by reference to, among other 13 things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Investors and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Investors shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investors have 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. 8.1 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. (a) Except as provided in Section 8.2 hereof, the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, (i) any shares of its Common Stock, (ii) any other equity securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Preferred Stock, (iii) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any equity securities of the Company, or (iv) any debt securities convertible into equity securities of the Company (collectively, the "Offered Securities"), unless in each such case the Company shall have first complied with this Section 8. (b) The Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of any proposed or intended issuance, sale or exchange of Offered Securities (the "Offer"), which Offer shall (i) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (ii) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (iii) identify the persons or entities, if known, to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged, and (iv) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Investor (A) that number of the Offered Securities which represents the same percentage of the total Offered Securities as the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Investor (including all shares of the Company's capital stock convertible into Common Stock, counting such shares as if converted) represents of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (including all shares of the Company's capital stock convertible into Common Stock, counting such shares as if converted) (the "Basic 14 Amount"), and (B) such additional portion of the Offered Securities as such Investor shall indicate it will purchase should the other Investors subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"). Each Investor shall have the right, for a period of 15 days following delivery of the Offer, to accept the Offer in the manner provided in paragraph (c) below. The Offer by its term shall remain open and irrevocable for such 15-day period. (c) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, an Investor must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the 15-day period of the Offer, setting forth the portion of the Investor's Basic Amount that the Investor elects to purchase and, if such Investor shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount (if any) that such Investor elects to purchase (the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Investors are less than the total Basic Amounts, then each Investor who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that should the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription Amount"), each Investor that has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Undersubscription Amount subscribed for by such Investor bears to the total Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for by all Investors, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent it reasonably deems necessary. (d) In the event that Notices of Acceptance are not given by Investors in respect of all the Offered Securities, the Company shall have 90 days from the expiration of the 15-day period set forth in Section 8.1(b) hereof, to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Investors (the "Refused Securities"), but only to the offerees or purchasers described in the Offer and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) which are not more favorable, in the aggregate, to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer. (e) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities, then each Investor may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the Investor elected to purchase pursuant to Section 8.1(c) hereof, multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to the Investors pursuant to Section 8.1(c)hereof prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the amount of all Offered Securities. In the event that an Investor so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Investors in accordance with Section 8.1(b) hereof. (f) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all the Refused Securities, the Investors shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall 15 issue to the Investors, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 8.1(e) hereof if the Investors have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by an Investor of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the participating Investors of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Investors and the Company. (g) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Investors or other persons in accordance with Section 8.1(d) hereof may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Investors under the procedures specified in this Section 8. 8.2 EXCLUDED ISSUANCES. The rights of the Investors under this Section 8 shall not apply to: (a) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. (b) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on the Shares; (c) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock; (d) shares of Common Stock (or options with respect thereto) (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock) issued or issuable to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company pursuant to a plan or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (e) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (f) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof; (g) to financing institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar strategic transactions approved by the Board of Directors; (h) in connection with bona fide acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies; (i) in connection with strategic partnerships, joint ventures, licensing arrangements or similar transactions not involving financial investors, as approved by the Board of Directors; or 16 (j) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or options, or warrants or rights to acquire same), issued or issuable hereafter that are (i) approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, and (ii) approved by the vote or written consent of the Investors holding at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares, voting or consenting as a separate class, as being excluded from the provisions of this Section 8. 8.3 TERMINATION. This Section 8 shall terminate in its entirety on the date upon which less than 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding (by reason of conversion, redemption or otherwise). SECTION 9. INFORMATION RIGHTS. The Company agrees to furnish to each Investor copies of all financial statements, reports, notices, press releases, proxy statements and other document sent by the Company to its stockholders generally or released to the public and copies of all regular and periodic reports filed by the Company with the Commission.

HEADINGS. The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement. SECTION 13. SEVERABILITY.

SECTION 15. COUNTERPARTS.
