                        SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This Securities Purchase Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is entered
into as of June 4, 2003, between Applied Digital Solutions, Inc., a Missouri
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Cranshire Capital, L.P. (the "PURCHASER").

         WHEREAS, the Company has registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") the issuance of certain shares (the
"SHARES") of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "COMMON
STOCK"), under a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No.
333-102165) (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT").

         WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Company desires to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser
desires to purchase from the Company up to four million (4,000,000) Shares
currently available under the Registration Statement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual
covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:

         1. SETTLEMENT DATES.
            ----------------

         (a) Settlement Dates. The closing, if any, of the purchase and sale
             ----------------
of the Shares under this Agreement will take place at the offices of Bryan
Cave LLP ("BRYAN CAVE"), 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
10104, on the settlement dates set forth below. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Shares will be issued, delivered and paid
for on up to three settlement dates (if any).

                  (1) The first settlement date (if any) will occur on the
fourth (4th) Trading Day (as defined below) following (and including) the
Press Release Date (the "FIRST SETTLEMENT DATE"). Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, on the First Settlement Date, the Company will
issue and deliver to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall pay for 1,333,333
Shares (subject to adjustment, at the sole option of the Purchaser, in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 1(b)(2) or (3)).

                  (2) The second settlement date (if any) will occur on the
seventh (7th) Trading Day following (and including) the Press Release Date
(the "SECOND SETTLEMENT DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, on the Second Settlement Date, the Company will issue and deliver
to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall pay for 2,666,666 Shares less the
number of any Shares purchased by the Purchaser on the First Settlement Date
(subject to adjustment, at the sole option of the Purchaser, in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of Sections 1(b)(2) or (3)).

                  (3) The third settlement date (if any) will occur on the
tenth (10th) Trading Day following (and including) the Press Release Date
(the "THIRD SETTLEMENT DATE" and together with the First Settlement Date and
the Second Settlement Date, collectively, a

<PAGE>

"SETTLEMENT DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
on the Third Settlement Date, the Company will issue and deliver to the
Purchaser and the Purchaser shall pay for 4,000,000 Shares less the number
of any Shares purchased by the Purchaser on the First Settlement Date and
the Second Settlement Date (subject to adjustment, at the sole option of the
Purchaser, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections
1(b)(2) or (3)).

         (b) Per Share Purchase Price; Additional Share Elections.
             ----------------------------------------------------

                  (1) The purchase price for each Share issuable under this
Agreement on a Settlement Date (the "PER SHARE PURCHASE PRICE") shall equal
87.25% of the average of the VWAP's for the three Trading Days immediately
preceding such Settlement Date, but in no event less than the Floor Price
(as defined below).

                  (2) The Company is not required to sell, and the Purchaser
is not required to purchase, any Shares at a price that is less than the
Floor Price. If the Per Share Purchase Price with respect to a particular
Settlement Date is less than the Floor Price: (a) the Purchaser may, but is
not required to, require the Company to issue and sell to it up to the
maximum aggregate amount of Shares to be sold hereunder (it being understood
that not more than an aggregate of 4,000,000 Shares will be issued and sold
under this Agreement), and (b) if Purchaser elects to acquire such Shares
under (a) above, then the per share purchase price for such Shares shall
equal the Floor Price.

                  (3) At any time prior to 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
day preceding a Settlement Date, the Purchaser may elect by written notice
to the Company, to acquire (in addition to the Shares which it may be
obligated to acquire at such time) up to the maximum aggregate amount of
Shares to be sold hereunder (it being understood that not more than an
aggregate of 4,000,000 Shares will be issued and sold under this Agreement).

                  (4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
the VWAP on two consecutive Settlement Dates is less than $0.42, then, at
any time thereafter, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate any and all of
its obligations under this Agreement by delivery of a written notice to the
Company to such effect.

                  (5) The Purchaser is not permitted to acquire Shares
hereunder to the extent that, giving effect to such proposed acquisition,
the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by the Purchaser (together with
its affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common
Stock would be aggregated with the Purchaser's for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")),
would exceed 9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock
potentially issuable upon such acquisition). Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the obligations of the parties hereto is subject to the
immediately preceding sentence and will be deemed automatically modified so
as to avoid any contravention thereof.

         (c) Deliveries on each Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and
             ----------------------------------
conditions of this Agreement, on each Settlement Date: (x) the Company will

such Settlement Date, and (B) a certificate, executed by the President of

upon receipt of such Shares in the DWAC system, deliver to the Company, an
amount in United States dollars equal to the product of (i) such number of
Shares, and (ii) the Per Share Purchase Price applicable to such Settlement
Date, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account

amendment or acceleration (with or without notice, lapse of time or both)
of, any agreement or indebtedness to which the Company is a party or by

material adverse effect on the Company or the transaction contemplated
hereby or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, decree or other restriction of any court, governmental authority

exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute

inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the

such service will constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to limit in any way

proceeding will be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable

         (e) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights

provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the

                                 EXHIBIT `A'

                          TERMS OF INDEMNIFICATION

         (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company will indemnify and
             ------------------------------
hold harmless the Purchaser and the officers, directors, employees and
agents of the Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), from and
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable costs of defense and
investigation and all attorneys' fees and expenses) to which the Purchaser
and the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Purchaser, and each
person, if any, who controls the Purchaser may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Company
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in that
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (an "INDEMNIFIABLE
MATTER"). The Company will reimburse the Purchaser and the officers,
directors, employees and agents of the Purchaser and each such controlling
person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses
reasonably incurred by the Purchaser and the officers, directors, employees
and agents of the Purchaser or the controlling person in investigating,
defending against, or preparing to defend against any claim relating to an
Indemnifiable Matter, except that the Company will not be liable to the
extent such claim, suit or proceeding which results in a loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue
statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included
in the Supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the
Supplement.

         (b) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided
             ------------
for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold
harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage,
liability, cost or expense referred to in Paragraph (a), each indemnifying
party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party, contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim,
damage, liability, cost or expense: (i) in the proportion which is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and by the indemnified party, on the other hand,
from the sale of stock which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or
proceeding which resulted in the loss, claim, liability, cost or expense or
(ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of
the sale of stock, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are
the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the
loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.

                                                              Exhibit 10.53

                        SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This Securities Purchase Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is entered
into as of June 4, 2003, between Applied Digital Solutions, Inc., a Missouri
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Magellan International Ltd. (the
"PURCHASER").

         WHEREAS, the Company has registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") the issuance of certain shares (the
"SHARES") of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "COMMON
STOCK"), under a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No.
333-102165) (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT").

         WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Company desires to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser
desires to purchase from the Company up to eight million five hundred
thousand (8,500,000) Shares currently available under the Registration
Statement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual
covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:

         1. SETTLEMENT DATES.
            ----------------

         (a) Settlement Dates. The closing, if any, of the purchase and sale
             ----------------
of the Shares under this Agreement will take place at the offices of Bryan
Cave LLP ("BRYAN CAVE"), 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
10104, on the settlement dates set forth below. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Shares will be issued, delivered and paid
for on up to three settlement dates (if any).

                  (1) The first settlement date (if any) will occur on the
fourth (4th) Trading Day (as defined below) following (and including) the
Press Release Date (the "FIRST SETTLEMENT DATE"). Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, on the First Settlement Date, the Company will
issue and deliver to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall pay for 2,833,333
Shares (subject to adjustment, at the sole option of the Purchaser, in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 1(b)(2) or (3)).

                  (2) The second settlement date (if any) will occur on the
seventh (7th) Trading Day following (and including) the Press Release Date
(the "SECOND SETTLEMENT DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, on the Second Settlement Date, the Company will issue and deliver
to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall pay for 5,666,666 Shares less the
number of any Shares purchased by the Purchaser on the First Settlement Date
(subject to adjustment, at the sole option of the Purchaser, in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of Sections 1(b)(2) or (3)).

                  (3) The third settlement date (if any) will occur on the
tenth (10th) Trading Day following (and including) the Press Release Date
(the "THIRD SETTLEMENT DATE" and together with the First Settlement Date and
the Second Settlement Date, collectively, a

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

"SETTLEMENT DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
on the Third Settlement Date, the Company will issue and deliver to the
Purchaser and the Purchaser shall pay for 8,500,000 Shares less the number
of any Shares purchased by the Purchaser on the First Settlement Date and
the Second Settlement Date (subject to adjustment, at the sole option of the
Purchaser, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections
1(b)(2) or (3)).

         (b) Per Share Purchase Price; Additional Share Elections.
             ----------------------------------------------------

                  (1) The purchase price for each Share issuable under this
Agreement on a Settlement Date (the "PER SHARE PURCHASE PRICE") shall equal
87.25% of the average of the VWAP's for the three Trading Days immediately
preceding such Settlement Date, but in no event less than the Floor Price
(as defined below).

                  (2) The Company is not required to sell, and the Purchaser
is not required to purchase, any Shares at a price that is less than the
Floor Price. If the Per Share Purchase Price with respect to a particular
Settlement Date is less than the Floor Price: (a) the Purchaser may, but is
not required to, require the Company to issue and sell to it up to the
maximum aggregate amount of Shares to be sold hereunder (it being understood
that not more than an aggregate of 8,500,000 Shares will be issued and sold
under this Agreement), and (b) if Purchaser elects to acquire such Shares
under (a) above, then the per share purchase price for such Shares shall
equal the Floor Price.

                  (3) At any time prior to 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
day preceding a Settlement Date, the Purchaser may elect by written notice
to the Company, to acquire (in addition to the Shares which it may be
obligated to acquire at such time) up to the maximum aggregate amount of
Shares to be sold hereunder (it being understood that not more than an
aggregate of 8,500,000 Shares will be issued and sold under this Agreement).

                  (4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
the VWAP on two consecutive Settlement Dates is less than $0.42, then, at
any time thereafter, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate any and all of
its obligations under this Agreement by delivery of a written notice to the
Company to such effect.

                  (5) The Purchaser is not permitted to acquire Shares
hereunder to the extent that, giving effect to such proposed acquisition,
the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by the Purchaser (together with
its affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common
Stock would be aggregated with the Purchaser's for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")),
would exceed 9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock
potentially issuable upon such acquisition). Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the obligations of the parties hereto is subject to the
immediately preceding sentence and will be deemed automatically modified so
as to avoid any contravention thereof.

         (c) Deliveries on each Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and
             ----------------------------------
conditions of this Agreement, on each Settlement Date: (x) the Company will
deliver to the Purchaser, (A) via such Purchaser's DTC Account through the
Depository Trust Company DWAC system, a

                                     2

such Settlement Date, and (B) a certificate, executed by the President of
the Company, to the effect that the Company has and is in compliance with
all of the conditions set forth in Section 2, and (y) the Purchaser will,
upon receipt of such Shares in the DWAC system, deliver to the Company, an
amount in United States dollars equal to the product of (i) such number of
Shares, and (ii) the Per Share Purchase Price applicable to such Settlement
Date, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated in writing by the Company for such purpose.

duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Missouri with the requisite corporate power and authority to
own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
currently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Company is duly qualified to conduct
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
do so would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company or the transaction contemplated hereby.

         (b) Authorization. The Company has the requisite corporate power
             -------------
and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation
of the transaction contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is
required by the Company or its shareholders for the Company to execute and
consummate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in
accordance with the terms hereof, and assuming the valid execution hereof by
the Purchaser, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except
(a) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (b) as
enforceability of any indemnification and contribution provisions may be
limited under the federal and state securities laws and public policy, and
(c) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms
of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

         (c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
             ------------
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby does not and will not: (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation or
bylaws (each as amended through the date hereof), or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment or acceleration (with or without notice, lapse of time or both)
of, any agreement or indebtedness to which the Company is a party or by
which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except
where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company or the transaction contemplated
hereby or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, decree or other restriction of any court, governmental authority
or stock market to which the Company or the Common Stock is subject, except
where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company or the transaction contemplated
hereby. There are no notices to or approvals or consents required to be made
by the Company of the NASD, any stock market, the Commission or any other
Person that have not been made and obtained (and any so obtained are in full
force and effect), except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or the transaction
contemplated hereby.

         (d) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and,
             ----------------------
when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances. The Shares have been approved for issuance on and by the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market (subject to official notice of issuance).

         (e) Company Registration Statement. The Company Registration
             ------------------------------
Statement is effective and the Company has not received notice that the
Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to the
Company Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has
suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Company Registration
Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened

information or documents incorporated by reference therein and all
supplements, including the Supplement, and prospectus thereunder), at the
time it was first declared effective, on the date of this Agreement, and on
each Settlement Date, did not, do not and will not contain any untrue
statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Shares are
registered under the Securities Act by the Company Registration Statement.

         (f) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. None of the offer, sale
             ------------------------------------
or issuance to the Purchaser of the maximum number of Shares issuable under

contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed by the
Purchaser and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, and

accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforceability may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally, (b) as enforceability of any indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited under the federal and state
securities laws and public policy, and (c) that the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be

            -------------------
its affiliates and other Persons acting on behalf of the Company not to
divulge to the Purchaser any information that it believes to be material
non-public information unless the Purchaser has agreed in writing to receive
such information prior to such divulgence. Neither the Company nor the
Purchaser will issue any press release or make any other public announcement
relating to this Agreement unless the form thereof is mutually agreed to by
the Company and the Purchaser, or if the Company is advised in writing by
its counsel that such press release or public announcement is required by
law. Except with respect to the press release to be issued pursuant to
Section 2(d), and other than with respect to: (i) the filing of the
Supplement, and (ii) the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K to furnish
an opinion of counsel as to the legality of the Shares, the Company shall

Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or
trading market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except
to the extent such disclosure is required by law or trading market
regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with
prior notice of such disclosure.

         6. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company will indemnify the Purchaser as
            ---------------
provided in Exhibit "A" attached hereto against liability with respect to
the Company Registration Statement (including, without limitation, the
prospectus supplement) relating to the Shares sold by the Company to the
Purchaser hereunder. For purposes of said Exhibit A, capitalized terms used
therein without definition shall have the same meanings therein as are

hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have
been merged into this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended except in a writing for such purpose signed by the Company and the
Purchaser. The waiver by either party hereto of any right hereunder or the
failure to perform or of a breach by the other party will not be deemed a
waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by
said other party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

             -------------
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed

thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the

service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,

provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the
Purchaser and the Company will each be entitled to specific performance of
the others obligations under this Agreement. In furtherance thereof, the
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of any such breach and hereby agrees to waive in any
action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

         (f) Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
             ---------
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and
the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been

                                 EXHIBIT `A'

                          TERMS OF INDEMNIFICATION

         (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company will indemnify and
             ------------------------------
hold harmless the Purchaser and the officers, directors, employees and
agents of the Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), from and
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable costs of defense and
investigation and all attorneys' fees and expenses) to which the Purchaser
and the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Purchaser, and each
person, if any, who controls the Purchaser may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Company
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in that
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (an "INDEMNIFIABLE
MATTER"). The Company will reimburse the Purchaser and the officers,
directors, employees and agents of the Purchaser and each such controlling
person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses
reasonably incurred by the Purchaser and the officers, directors, employees
and agents of the Purchaser or the controlling person in investigating,
defending against, or preparing to defend against any claim relating to an
Indemnifiable Matter, except that the Company will not be liable to the
extent such claim, suit or proceeding which results in a loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue
statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included
in the Supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the
Supplement.

         (b) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided
             ------------
for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold
harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage,
liability, cost or expense referred to in Paragraph (a), each indemnifying
party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party, contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim,
damage, liability, cost or expense: (i) in the proportion which is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and by the indemnified party, on the other hand,
from the sale of stock which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or
proceeding which resulted in the loss, claim, liability, cost or expense or
(ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of
the sale of stock, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are
the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the
loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.
