 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, up to 6,810,772 units (each, a “Unit”), each unit consisting of one
share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and one five-year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

 WHEREAS, the Company and each Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities
registration afforded by the provisions of Regulation D (“Regulation D”), as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises hereinafter set
forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL STOCK. 
 (a) Authorization. The Company’s Board of Directors has
authorized the issuance and sale, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of up to 6,810,772 Units, each Unit to consist of (i) one share of Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) and (ii) one
five-year warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $0.45 per share, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Purchased Warrants” and together with the Purchased Shares, the
“Purchased Securities”). 
 (b) Agreement to Purchase and Sell Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, each Purchaser severally agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser, at the Closing (as defined below), that number of Units set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A
attached hereto. The purchase price of each Unit (the “Per Unit Price”) shall be $0.3377. 
 (c) Use of
Proceeds. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Securities for working capital and general corporate purposes. 
 (d) Obligations Several Not Joint. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way
for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any 








 
Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its
rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 (e) Regulatory Right to Terminate. Each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to such Purchaser following the first
Closing unless the following occurs: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) agrees to lift its clinical hold on human trials of Hemopure (which may be an oral agreement in principle, subject to protocol changes to be
made and filed by the Company, to one of the clinical trials heretofore submitted to the FDA) (“Regulatory Event”) resulting from the upcoming meeting at the FDA scheduled to occur on July 1, 2008 (the
“FDA Meeting). Promptly following the FDA Meeting the Company will report the outcome of the FDA Meeting to the Purchasers orally and will issue a press release concerning the meeting. The Company shall advise each
Purchaser whether or not it believes the Regulatory Event occurred, but each Purchaser shall make its own determination. Each Purchaser shall have the right to speak with any or all Company representatives who attended the FDA Meeting to reach such
Purchaser’s conclusion as to whether or not the Regulatory Event has occurred. Each Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing, such notice to be received by the Company no later than Friday, July 11, 2008, if he or it is exercising his
or its termination right. 
 (f) Financial Right to Terminate. Each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to
such Purchaser if the Company does not have cash on hand of at least $2,500,000 (“the Cash Minimum”) on September 10, 2008 or later, as hereinafter described in this paragraph (f). The Company will notify each Purchaser
no later than September 11 the amount of cash on hand as of September 10, 2008, with such supporting information as any Purchaser may request. Thereafter Purchasers’ obligation to pay the installment otherwise due on September 15
will be suspended until such time as the Company’s cash on hand is at least the Cash Minimum. The Company will notify each Purchaser immediately upon the Cash Minimum having been attained, with such supporting information as any Purchaser may
request, and the payment otherwise due on September 15, 2008 will be paid on the business day following receipt of such notice (but not before September 15, 2008). Each Purchaser will have the right to terminate this Agreement if there
continues to be a shortfall in the Cash Minimum through September 29, 2008.

any subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock dividends;

rights to use all patents, patent rights, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), which are necessary to
conduct its businesses as currently conducted, except where the failure to currently own or possess would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any
written notice of, and has no actual knowledge of, any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and to the Company’s knowledge, none of the patent rights owned or licensed by the Company are unenforceable or invalid.

 (n) Title to Property and Assets. The properties and assets of the Company are owned by the
Company free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, charges, encumbrances and security interests except for (i) statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and (ii) liens, encumbrances and
security interests that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially detract from the value of the properties and assets of the Company. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such
leases in all material respects. 
 (o) Taxes. The Company has filed or has valid extensions of the time to file all necessary
federal, state, and foreign income and franchise tax returns due prior to the date hereof and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of any material tax deficiency which has been asserted against it.

 (p) Insurance. The Company maintains insurance of the types and in the amounts that the Company reasonably believes is prudent and
adequate for its business, all of which insurance is in full force and effect in all material respects. 
 (q) Labor Relations. No
material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company.

Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

Company meets the eligibility requirements for use of a registration statement on Form S-3 for the resale of the Purchased Shares by the Purchasers. Assuming the completion and timely delivery of the Registration Statement/Suitability Questionnaire
(attached hereto as Appendix II) (the “Registration Statement Questionnaire”) by each Purchaser to the Company, the Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would prohibit or delay the preparation and filing of
a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Shares (as defined below). 
  

 -8- 








 (v) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any affiliate of the Company, nor any person
acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Purchased Securities to be integrated with
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act, or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq, nor will the Company take any action or steps that
would cause the offering of the Purchased Shares to be integrated with other offerings. 
 (w) Nasdaq Listing Matters. The Common
Stock of the Company is quoted on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “BPUR.” The Company has not received any notice that it is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of Nasdaq. The issuance and sale of the Purchased
Shares under this Agreement does not contravene the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, The Company agrees that in the event that a Purchaser wishes to exercise a Warrant and the exercise would require stockholder approval under Nasdaq Marketplace
Rules because such exercise would constitute a change of control under such Rules, then the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to convene a meeting of its stockholders to obtain such approval, and the proxy statement for such meeting will
contain a recommendation for approval. If approval cannot be obtained, the Purchaser understands and agrees that he or it will be required to divest such number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Purchaser as may be required to permit such
Purchaser, under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, to complete the desired exercise without stockholder approval. 
 (x) Investment
Company. The Company is not now, and after the sale of the Purchased Securities under this Agreement and the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Shares described in Section 1(c) herein will not be, an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

conditions of the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain any additional information requested and has received and considered all information it
deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the Purchased Securities. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such
Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of such information and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

legend hereunder upon receipt of a letter from the transferee that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. 
 Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing securities as set forth in this Section 4(j) is predicated

 In addition, the Purchaser agrees that the Company may place stop transfer orders with its transfer agent with respect to such Certificates in order to

Purchased Securities, or (z) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input concerning such affiliate’s investments or trading, has or will, directly or indirectly, during the period beginning on the date on which the Company first
contacted such Purchaser regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and involving the Company) and ending on the Closing Date, engage in (i) any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the maintaining of any short position with respect to, establishing or maintaining a “put equivalent position” (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange
Act) with respect to, entering into any swap, derivative transaction or other arrangement (whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other securities, cash or other consideration) that transfers to another, in whole
or in part, any economic consequences or ownership, or otherwise disposes of, any of the Purchased Securities by the Purchaser or (ii) any hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Purchased Securities
(clauses (i) and (ii) together, a “Short Sale”); except for (1) Short Sales by the Purchaser or an affiliate of such Purchaser which was, prior to the date on which such Purchaser was first contacted by the
Company regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a market maker for the Common Stock, provided that such Short Sales are in the ordinary course of business of such Purchaser or an affiliate of such Purchaser and are in compliance
with the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities Act and such other securities laws as may be applicable, (2) Short Sales by the Purchaser or an affiliate of such Purchaser which by virtue of the procedures of such Purchaser
are made without knowledge of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (3) Short Sales by the Purchaser or an affiliate of such Purchaser to the extent that such Purchaser or such affiliate of such Purchaser is acting in the capacity
of a broker-dealer executing unsolicited third-party transactions.

 (m) The Purchaser understands and agrees that if a proposed exercise of a Warrant would violate a
Nasdaq Marketplace Rule unless the Company’s stockholders authorize the issuance of Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise, the Company may defer issuance of the Warrant Shares until such time as the required stockholder approval has been
obtained. 
 4. FORM D FILING; REGISTRATION; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 (a) Form D Filing; Registration of the Purchased Shares and the Underlying Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it shall: 
 (i) file in a timely manner a Form D relating to the sale of the Purchased Securities under this Agreement, pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act; 
 (ii) prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) days following
the Closing, a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), to enable the resale of the Purchased Shares and the sale of the Underlying Shares (together with any shares of Common Stock issued as a
dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the Purchased Shares or the Underlying Shares, the “Registrable Shares”) by the Purchasers from time to time on Nasdaq and use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective, within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or, in the event of a review of the Registration Statement by the SEC, within one hundred twenty
(120) days following the Closing Date, and, subject to exceptions provided herein, to remain continuously effective until the earlier of (A) the second anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement, (B) the date on
which all Registrable Shares purchased by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement have been sold thereunder or (C) the date on which the Registrable Shares can be sold by nonaffiliates of the Company pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under
the Securities Act (the “Registration Period”). In the event that the Company does not meet the requirements for the use of Form S-3, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration, and shall
convert such other form to Form S-3, or file a replacement registration statement on Form S-3, promptly after the first date on which it meets such requirements; 
 (iii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (as defined below) used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times until the end of the Registration Period; 
 (iv) furnish to each
Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Shares registered under the Registration Statement a copy of each final Prospectus (as defined below) in which such Purchaser is listed as a selling securityholder in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Purchasers; 
 (v) promptly notify each Purchaser named as a selling
securityholder when the Registration Statement has been declared effective; 
  

 -13- 








 (vi) promptly notify the Purchasers in writing of the existence of any fact or the happening of any
event, during the Registration Period (but not as to the substance of any such fact or event), that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document
incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by
the Company shall be required pursuant to this subsection (vi) in the event that the Company either contemporaneously files a prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, which, in either case, contains the requisite information with respect to such material event that results in such Registration Statement no longer containing any such untrue or misleading
statements); 
 (vii) furnish to each Purchaser upon written request, from the date of this Agreement until the end of the Registration
Period, one copy of its periodic reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, if, during such period, such documents cease to be filed on the SEC’s EDGAR system or a successor
thereto; and 
 (viii) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures described in paragraphs (i) through (viii) of this
Section 5(a) and the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement other than fees and expenses, if any, of legal counsel or other advisers to the Purchasers or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and
commissions incurred by the Purchasers, if any. 
 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant to this Section 5(a) with respect to Registrable Shares held by a Purchaser that such Purchaser shall timely furnish to the Company a completed Registration Statement Questionnaire on or before the Closing Date and such other written
information regarding itself, the Registrable Shares to be sold by such Purchaser, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares. The Purchasers shall
update such information as and when necessary by written notice to the Company. 
 (b) Liquidated Damages. 
 (i) Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In the event that the Registration Statement is not (A) filed with the SEC
within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date or (B) declared effective within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or, in the event of a review of the Registration Statement by the SEC, within one hundred twenty
(120) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser who has provided the documents contemplated by Section 4(k) liquidated damages at a rate equal to 1.5% per month (pro rata on a 30 day basis) of the total
purchase price of the Purchased Securities purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such liquidated damages (a) to more than one
Purchaser in respect of the same Purchased Securities for the same period of time or (b) in an aggregate amount that exceeds 12% of the purchase price paid by the Purchasers for the Units pursuant to this Agreement. Such liquidated damages
shall be payable within ten (10) days of the end of each one (1) month anniversary of the applicable filing or effectiveness deadline set forth in this section 5(b)(i). 
  

 -14- 








 (ii) Lapse in Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In the event that the Registration
Statement is filed and declared effective but, during the Registration Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or useable or the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”, as amended or
supplemented by any prospectus supplement and by all other amendments thereto and all material incorporated by reference in such Prospectus), other than as permitted hereby, ceases to be usable, in either case, in connection with resales of
Registrable Shares, without such lapse being cured within ten (10) business days (the “Cure Period”) by a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus or a report filed with the
SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such lapse, then the Company shall pay to each Purchaser then listed as a Selling Securityholder in the Prospectus, liquidated damages, for the period from and
including the first day following the expiration of the Cure Period until, but excluding, the earlier of (1) the date on which such failure is cured and (2) the date on which the Registration Period expires, at a rate equal to
1.5% per month (pro rata on a 30 day basis) of the total purchase price of the Purchased Shares purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement that are immediately prior to such lapse covered by the Registration Statement. Such
liquidated damages shall be payable within ten (10) days of the end of each one (1) month anniversary of the expiration of the Cure Period. Such liquidated damages shall be the Purchaser’s sole monetary remedy for such lapse.

 (c) Transfer of Registrable Shares After Registration; Suspension. 
 (i) Each Purchaser agrees that it will not offer to sell or make any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer with respect to the
Registrable Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except pursuant to (1) the Registration Statement, (2) Rule 144 of the Securities Act or (3) another exemption from registration under the
Securities Act, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement after it is prepared regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution to the extent required by applicable law.

 (ii) In addition to any suspension rights under paragraph (iii) below, upon the happening of any pending corporate development,
public filing with the SEC or similar event, that, in the judgment of Company’s Board of Directors, renders it advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus, or upon the request by an underwriter in connection with an underwritten public offering
of the Company’s securities, the Company may, on not more than two (2) non-consecutive occasions for not more than ninety (90) days on each such occasion, suspend use of the Prospectus, on written notice to each Purchaser (which
notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended period of suspension, if known), in which case each Purchaser shall discontinue disposition of
Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or Prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus are distributed to the Purchasers or until the Purchasers are advised in writing by the Company that sales of Registrable
Shares under the applicable Prospectus may be resumed and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. The suspension and notice thereof described in
this Section 5(c)(ii) shall be held in strictest confidence and shall not be disclosed by the Purchasers. 
  

 -15- 








 (iii) Subject to paragraph (iv) below, in the event of: (A) any request by the SEC or any
other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (B) the issuance by
the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (C) the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, or (D) any event or circumstance which
necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall deliver a
certificate in writing to the Purchasers (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing (which notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning
and end of the intended period of suspension, if known), and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchasers will discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or Prospectus (a
“Suspension”) until the Purchasers’ receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until the Purchasers are advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus
may be used, and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchasers. 
 (iv) In the event of a sale of Registrable Shares by a Purchaser, such Purchaser must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a certificate of subsequent sale reasonably satisfactory to the Company, so
that ownership of the Registrable Shares may be properly transferred. The Company will cooperate to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (unless otherwise required by applicable law) representing Registrable Shares sold.

 (d) Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 5(d), the term “Registration Statement” shall
include any preliminary or final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 5(a). 
 (i) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable expenses, joint or several, to which such 

  

 -16- 








 
Purchasers or such 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 the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or reasonable expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of them, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser and each such controlling person for any reasonable legal and other expenses as such reasonable expenses are incurred by such Purchaser or such controlling
person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment to or
supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
(B) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting resale of the Purchased Shares or the sale of the Underlying Shares, or (C) any untrue statement or omission of a material
fact required to make such statement not misleading in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser before the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser. 
 (ii) Indemnification by the Purchaser. Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly 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, its
directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any controlling persons 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 Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon 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 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 Purchaser expressly for use therein, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and any
controlling persons for any reasonable legal and other expense incurred by 

  

 -17- 








 
the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and any controlling persons, in connection with investigating, defending,
settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
with respect to which the Purchaser has delivered to the Company in writing a correction before the occurrence of the event from which such loss was incurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), the Purchaser shall not be
liable for any indemnification obligation under this Agreement in excess of the aggregate amount of net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. 
 (iii) Indemnification Procedure. 
 (A) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5(d) 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 5(d), promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; 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 under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(d) or otherwise, to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. 
 (B) 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, if the defendants in any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting
the defense of any such action or that there are legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, 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 5(d) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless: 
 a) 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, approved by
such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action); or 
  

 -18- 








 b) the indemnifying 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 the action against the indemnified party, 
 in each of
which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. 
 (iv)
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5(d) is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to, or is otherwise insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party under this
Section 5(d) with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement, then each 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 in this Agreement: 
 (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
faults of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations, or 
 (2) if the allocation provided by clause (1) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative faults referred to in clause (1) above but the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the sale of the Purchased Securities. 
 The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as
the amount to which the consideration paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Purchased Securities purchased by such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the
“Difference”) between the amount such Purchaser paid for the Purchased Securities that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of
the Company and each Purchaser shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged
inaccurate material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser 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 Section 5(d)(iii), any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses
incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 5(d)(iii) 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 Section 5(d)(iv); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under Section 5(d)(iii) for
purposes of indemnification. The Company and each Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iv) were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable 

  

 -19- 








 
considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d)(iv), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has 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 is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iv) are several and not joint. 
 (e) Rule 144 Information. For two (2) years after the date
of this Agreement, the Company shall file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and shall take such further action to the extent
required to enable the Purchasers to sell the Purchased Shares and the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time). 
 5. CONDITIONS TO THE PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING. The obligations of the Purchasers under Section 1(b) of this Agreement

Agreement. 
 (j) Amount Invested. The Purchasers under this Agreement shall have tendered at closing no less than the amount set
forth opposite the Purchasers’ name and applicable date on Exhibit A in the aggregate for the Purchased Securities.

agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. 
 (j) Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Company or the

 (o) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, each Purchaser
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence
