 4 

 r. To the knowledge of the Company or except as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company and its
subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on reasonable terms, all material patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential
information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names currently employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them, except where the failure to own, possess or acquire any of the foregoing would not result

coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, except as described in the Prospectus. 
  
 u. The Company
and its subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses except for such certificates, authorizations and
permits, the failure of which to obtain, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as described in the Prospectus. 
  
 v. The Company is aware of no reason that its Quarterly Report on Form-10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 would not be accompanied by the certifications required to be filed or submitted by the Company’s chief executive officer
and chief financial officer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

the Purchaser of this Agreement have been taken, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser.

brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 c. The Purchaser is relying solely on its own tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Purchaser
understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 d. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to discuss the
Company’s business, management and financial affairs with management of the Company. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to conduct due diligence and ask questions of management of the Company concerning these matters, which due diligence (if
any) was completed and questions (if any) were answered to the satisfaction of the Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that it has not disclosed any material non-public information to the Purchaser. 
  
 5. Conditions to Closing. The obligation of each party to complete the
purchase and sale of the Shares is conditioned upon: (i) the Supplement having been delivered to the Purchaser as of the Closing; (ii) the demonstration, to the reasonable satisfaction of both parties, that the other party is prepared to perform the
other party’s obligations set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party made in this Agreement. 
  
 The obligations of the Purchaser are subject to the following further conditions:

 b. The Purchaser shall have received at the Closing a certificate, dated as
of the Closing and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in Section 5.a. above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the
Closing and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing. 
  
 6. Covenants of the Company. In further consideration of the agreements of the Purchaser herein contained, the
Company covenants with the Purchaser that before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement to the Purchaser, and the Company will file with
the Commission, within the applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, any Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule. 
  

 6 

 7. Indemnity and Contribution. 
  
 a. The Company, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and every affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning
of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, from and against (a) any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such
action or claim) arising from or in connection with any violation by the Company of the terms of this Agreement or gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Company in the performance of the terms of this Agreement, (b) any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, the Prospectus, including the appendices thereto (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (c) any breach of this Agreement. 
  
 b. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the
officers and directors of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against (a) any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that result from the Purchaser making a false statement, or any omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact required to be stated herein or necessary to make the statements herein not misleading, in connection with its obligations hereunder or its representations and warranties set forth herein, and (b) any breach of this
Agreement. 
  
 c. In case any proceeding (including any
governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7.a. or 7.b., such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom
such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain
its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any 

  

 7 

 
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Purchaser and all persons who are affiliates of the Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and that all such fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such separate firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified
party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of
such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
  
 d. To the extent the indemnification provided for in Sections 7.a. or 7.b. is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on
the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7.d.(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 7.d.(i) above, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand 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 relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 e. 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 

  

 8 

 
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which
may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. 
  
 f. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company; and (iii)
acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares. 
  
 8.
Termination. 
  
 a. The Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement by notice given to the Company if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, the Nasdaq National Market; (ii) a material
disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; (iii) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the reasonable judgment of the parties, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event
specified in this clause (iv), makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 
  
 b. The Company may terminate this Agreement, without liability on its part,
if, at the Closing, the Purchaser shall fail or refuse to purchase the Shares, or any portion thereof. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.b. because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Purchaser
to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Purchaser shall be unable to perform their obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in Section 8.a. above, the Purchaser shall
reimburse the Company for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Supplement, and the offering contemplated hereunder. 

 
 9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 
  
 10. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto. 
  
 11. Public Statements. The Company shall, on the second business day
following execution of the Agreement, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of this Agreement, but not the name of Purchaser. Within the time period required under the rules of the Commission, the Company shall file a Current Report on
Form 8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of this Agreement, including the name of Purchaser, as required by Item 1.01 of Form 8-K. Thereafter, the Company shall timely make any filings and 

  

 9 

 
notices required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to this Agreement and provide copies thereof to the Purchaser promptly after filing. The
Company shall not include the name of the Purchaser in its press release. 
  
 12. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express
courier, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, and shall be addressed as follows, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished in writing by a party to another party pursuant to this paragraph:

 3 

 m. The Company and its subsidiaries: (i) are in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal,
state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”); (ii) have received all

adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
  
 n. There are no costs or liabilities associated with Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit,
license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties) which would, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

  
 o. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no
contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company or to require

 p. Except as described in the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus: (i) the Company has not purchased any of its outstanding capital stock (except for acquisitions of capital stock by the Company pursuant to agreements that permit the Company to repurchase such shares upon termination of service to the
Company or in exercise of the Company’s right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer), nor declared, paid or otherwise made any dividend or distribution of any kind on its capital stock other than ordinary and customary dividends; and (ii)
there has not been any material change in the capital stock, short-term debt or long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, except in each case as described in the Prospectus. 
  
 q. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and
marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case, which is material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are
described in the Prospectus or such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and any real
property and buildings held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property and buildings by the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case except as described in the Prospectus. 
  

 4 

 r. To the knowledge of the Company or except as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company and its
subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on reasonable terms, all material patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential
information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names currently employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them, except where the failure to own, possess or acquire any of the foregoing would not result
in a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and, except as described in the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted
rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing that, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

  
 s. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries exists, except as described in the Prospectus, or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent. 
  
 t. The Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in
such amounts as the Company believes are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, except as described in the Prospectus. 
  
 u. The Company
and its subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses except for such certificates, authorizations and
permits, the failure of which to obtain, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as described in the Prospectus. 
  
 v. The Company is aware of no reason that its Quarterly Report on Form-10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 would not be accompanied by the certifications required to be filed or submitted by the Company’s chief executive officer
and chief financial officer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
  
 4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. In connection with the purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser hereby makes the following
representations and warranties, each of which is true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Closing: 
  

 5 

 a. All actions on the part of the Purchaser for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by
the Purchaser of this Agreement have been taken, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser. 
  
 b. The Purchaser has not incurred and will not incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by it or the Company, any liability for
brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 c. The Purchaser has reviewed with its tax advisors the foreign and domestic federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall
be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 d. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with management of
the Company. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to conduct due diligence and ask questions of management of the Company concerning these matters, which due diligence was completed and questions were answered to the satisfaction of the Purchaser.

  
 5. Conditions to Closing. The obligation of each party
to complete the purchase and sale of the Shares is conditioned upon: (i) the Supplement having been delivered to the Purchaser as of the Closing; (ii) the demonstration, to the reasonable satisfaction of both parties, that the other party is
prepared to perform the other party’s obligations set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party made in this Agreement. 
  
 The obligations of the Purchaser are subject to the following further
conditions: 
  
 a. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and prior to the Closing there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, is material and adverse.

  
 b. The Purchaser shall have received at the Closing a
certificate, dated as of the Closing and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in Section 5.a. above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and
correct as of the Closing and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing. 
  
 6. Covenants of the Company. In further consideration of the
agreements of the Purchaser herein contained, the Company covenants with the Purchaser that before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement
to the Purchaser, and the Company will file with the Commission, within the applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, any Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule. 
  

 6 

 7. Indemnity and Contribution. 
  
 a. The Company, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and every affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning
of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, from and against (a) any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such
action or claim) arising from or in connection with any violation by the Company of the terms of this Agreement or gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Company in the performance of the terms of this Agreement, (b) any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, the Prospectus, including the appendices thereto (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (c) any breach of this Agreement. 
  
 b. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the
officers and directors of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against (a) any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that result from the Purchaser making a false statement, or any omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact required to be stated herein or necessary to make the statements herein not misleading, in connection with its obligations hereunder or its representations and warranties set forth herein, and (b) any breach of this
Agreement. 
  
 c. In case any proceeding (including any
governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7.a. or 7.b., such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom
such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain
its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any 
  

 7 

 indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i)
the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Purchaser and all persons who are affiliates of the Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and (ii) the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such separate firm shall be designated in
writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding. 
  
 d. To the extent the indemnification provided for
in Sections 7.a. or 7.b. is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7.d.(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 7.d.(i) above, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand 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 relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 e. 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 
  

 8 

 guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not
limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. 
  
 f. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained
in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser, or the Company, its officers
or directors or any person controlling the Company; and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares. 
  
 8. Termination. 
  
 a. The Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Company if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the
Closing: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, the Nasdaq National Market; (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; (iii) any
moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis
that, in the reasonable judgment of the parties, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (iv), makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the
Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 
  
 b. The Company may terminate this Agreement, without liability on its part, if, at the Closing, the Purchaser shall fail or refuse to purchase the Shares, or any portion thereof. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company pursuant
to this Section 8.b. because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Purchaser to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Purchaser shall be unable to perform their obligations under
this Agreement, except as provided in Section 8.a. above, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Company for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with this
Agreement, the Supplement, and the offering contemplated hereunder. 
  
 9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 
  
 10. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties
hereto. 
  
 11. Public Statements. The Company shall, on
the second business day following execution of the Agreement, issue a press release disclosing all material terms of this Agreement. Within the time period required under the rules of the Commission, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form
8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Company shall timely make any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to this Agreement and
provide copies thereof to the 
  

 9 

 Purchaser promptly after filing. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name
of the Purchaser in any press release without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent is hereby given. 
  
 12. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered by first-class registered
