equitable principles relating to enforceability (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 


        4.5   Purchase for Own Account.    The Purchased Stock to be acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement is
being or will be acquired for its own account and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Purchased Stock or any part thereof in any transaction that would be in violation of the
securities laws of the United States of America, or any state thereof, without prejudice, however, to the rights of such Purchaser at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such
Purchased Stock under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or under an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act, and subject, nevertheless, to the
disposition of such 


25







 



Purchaser's

SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS. 


THE
SALE, ASSIGNMENT, HYPOTHECATION, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A "TRANSFER") AND VOTING OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY

THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. 




        4.6   Accredited Investor.    Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in Section 2(a)15 of the

        4.7   Restricted Securities.    Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Stock will not be registered at the
time of its issuance under the Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and that the reliance of the
Company on such exemption is predicated in part on such Purchaser's representations set forth herein. 


        4.8   Broker's, Finder's or Similar Fees.    There are no brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar fees or
commissions payable by such Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based on any agreement, arrangement or understanding with such Purchaser or any action taken by such

ARTICLE VII
  
    INDEMNIFICATION    
    


        7.1   Indemnification. 



        (a)   The
Company (the "Company Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its
Affiliates, (who at the option of the Purchaser, may include the Company) and their respective officers, managers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling Persons
(each, a "Purchaser Indemnified Party" and, together, the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") to the
fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, Claims, (including, without limitation, any Claim by a third party), damages, expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements
and other charges of counsel incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in any action between the Company Indemnifying Party and the Purchaser Indemnified Party or between the Purchaser Indemnified
Party and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities (collectively, "Losses") resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any
representation or warranty by the Company or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company, in each case, in either this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement;  provided that, the
Company Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Section 7.1 to a Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent that it
is judicially determined that such Losses resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Purchaser Indemnified Party. The amount of any payment to any Purchaser Indemnified
Party herewith in respect of any Loss shall be increased by the amount of the Purchaser's pro rata share of the diminution in value of the Company relating to the payment of the amount of such Loss to
the Purchaser. The Company Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay any amounts in respect of indemnification obligations under Section 7.1(a)(i), except those based upon or arising
from Section 3.7, (the "Basket Exclusion"), unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses equals $50,000, after which time the Company
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay in full the amount of all Losses in excess of $50,000. 



28









  




        (b)   The
Purchaser (the "Purchaser Indemnifying Parties" and referred to collectively herein with the Company Indemnifying
Parties as the "Indemnifying Parties") agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers, managers, directors, agents,
employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling Persons (each, a "Company Indemnified Party" and referred to collectively herein with the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties as the "Indemnified Parties") to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Losses resulting from or
arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Purchaser in this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement; provided
that, the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable under this Section 7.1 to a Company Indemnified Party to the extent that it is judicially determined that
such Losses resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Company Indemnified Party. 


        (c)   In
connection with the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to indemnify for expenses as set forth in this Section 7.1, such Indemnifying Party shall, upon
presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, reimburse the Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred
by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party;  provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party is reimbursed under this Article VII for any
expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Losses in question resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party. 


        (d)   The
parties hereto shall treat, for all Tax purposes, any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VII as an adjustment to the purchase price paid for the
Purchased Stock. 




        7.2   Notification.    Each Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall, promptly after the receipt of
notice of the commencement of any Claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify the Indemnifying
Party in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission or delay of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VII unless, and only to the extent that, such omission or delay results in such Indemnifying Party's forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses or otherwise materially prejudices such Indemnifying Party's defense of such Claim. In case any such Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall
notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at their own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party in its reasonable judgment, upon written confirmation that such Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Losses arising out of or in connection with such Claim;  provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably
likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such Claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such
Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Parties or (y) a conflict or potential conflict
exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable;  provided, however, that the Indemnifying Parties (i) shall not be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel to the Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all of such fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any action between
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties or between the Indemnified Parties and any third party, as such expenses are incurred. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the
prior written consent of the 


29







 

Indemnified
Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party
thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising
or that may arise out of such Claim. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement
or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article VII shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief. 


        7.3   Contribution.    If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII from an Indemnifying Party is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article VII,
then such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified
Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to
above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 


 
 

ARTICLE VIII
  
    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS    
    


        The Company hereby covenants and agrees with the Purchaser as follows:

shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue or delivery upon conversion of the Series 3 Preferred, as provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable or deliverable upon such conversion (assuming for purposes of this Section 8.1 that the Company shall not effect an IPO at an IPO Price of
less than $4.00). Such shares of Common Stock are duly authorized and, when issued or delivered in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. The Company shall issue such shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and otherwise comply
with the terms hereof and thereof. 


        8.2   Insurance.    The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall maintain insurance with insurance companies or
associations with a rating of "A" or better as established by Best's Rating Guide (or an equivalent rating with such other publication of a similar nature as shall be in current use) in such amounts
and covering such risks as are usually and customarily carried with respect to similar businesses according to its locations. The Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain a
directors' liability insurance policy that is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. 



        8.3   Books and Records.    The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall keep proper books of record and account,
in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets of the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and the Business in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

the expiration of the applicable survival period (regardless of whether such Loss or Claim is actually paid, incurred or settled thereafter).
