or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made.


 


(d)          The

5.            Indemnification
and Contribution.


 


5.1          Indemnification
by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and each person, if any, who controls
the Placement Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them
may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, applicable Blue Sky Laws or any other statute or common law or otherwise,
and to reimburse the Placement Agent and each such controlling person, if any, for any legal expenses reasonably incurred by it
or them in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Memorandum, or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 will not cover any such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission
or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished herein
or in writing to the Company by, or on behalf of, the Placement Agent for use in connection with the Memorandum, or arising out
of or based upon a breach by the Placement Agent of any of the Placement Agent's representations, warranties or covenants set forth
in this Agreement.


 


The Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Placement Agent and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject as result of any act by any person offering
or selling the Shares who are not agents of, or otherwise engaged by, the Placement Agent.


 


The Company will not,
however, be responsible for an indemnification obligation hereunder to the extent that the losses for which indemnification is
sought hereunder resulted solely from actions taken or omitted to be taken by the person seeking indemnification hereunder (or
its affiliates) due to such person (or affiliate)’s bad faith or willful misconduct.


 


5.2          Indemnification
by the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who
controls the Company against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them
may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 act and applicable Blue Sky Laws or any other statute or common law or otherwise,
and to reimburse the Company and each such controlling person, if any, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it
or them in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions solely arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Memorandum, or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such statement or alleged statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished herein or in writing to the Company
by the Placement Agent for use in connection with the Memorandum. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.2 will be
in addition to any liability the Placement Agent may otherwise have.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


The Placement Agent
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject solely as result of any bad
faith or willful misconduct by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering.


 


5.3          Notice
to Indemnifying Party. Promptly after the receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement
of any action for which indemnification may be sought by the indemnified party hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of
the commencement thereof. The omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may otherwise
have to any indemnified party, except to the extent such omission materially prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to
defend against such action. Upon notice of the commencement of an action against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate in and assume the defense of such action, at the indemnifying party’s own expense, with counsel
chosen by such indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. No indemnifying party hereunder will be
liable for the payment of any amount in settlement of any claim or action without the consent of such indemnifying party, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 


5.4          Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is, for any reason other than as specified herein, held by a court to be
unavailable, and the Company or the Placement Agent has been required to pay damages as a result of a determination by a court
that the Memorandum contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, then the Company will contribute to the damages paid by the Placement
Agent or its controlling persons, and the Placement Agent will contribute to the damages paid by the Company, but in each case
only to the extent that such damages arise out of or are based upon such untrue statement or omission, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, in connection
with the statement or omission which resulted in such damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company and the Placement Agent will be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds
from the sale of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Placement
Agent. The relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Placement Agent and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omissions. For
purposes of this section, the term “damages” will include any legal expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or
the Placement Agent in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of the contribution
provisions of this section. No person adjudged guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation, bad faith or willful misconduct will be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, bad faith or willful misconduct.

its engagement hereunder, it will be likely for the Company to disclose to the Placement Agent certain information of a non-public,
proprietary nature. Such disclosures may include, but are not limited to, (i) business, marketing, and technology operations and
directions; (ii) current, future and projected finances; (iii) technologies and intellectual properties; (iv) customer and supplier
names; and (v) other technical or business information (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”) of the

approved in advance by the Company.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything else contained herein to the contrary, such Confidential Information shall not include any information already available
to or in the possession of the Placement Agent prior to the date of its disclosure to the Placement Agent by the Company, any information
in the Memorandum or other investor materials or generally available to the public, or any information which becomes available
to the Placement Agent on a non-confidential basis from a third party who is not known, after reasonable inquiry, by the Placement
Agent to be bound by a confidentiality obligation to the Company, and provided further, that such confidential information may
be disclosed (i) to the Placement Agent's employees, agents, advisors and representatives in connection with its engagement hereunder,
who shall be informed of the confidential nature of the information and that such information is subject to a confidentiality agreement,
so long as in each case each person is under an obligation of confidentiality; (ii) to any person with the consent of the Company,
including to any prospective investors; (iii) if the Placement Agent is required to disclose such information pursuant to law,
judicial or administrative process or regulatory demand or request; or (iv) if such disclosure is deemed necessary by the Placement
Agent in litigation or any other proceeding in which it or any of its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, affiliates or any person who controls the Placement Agent is, or is threatened to be made, a party.
