METABASIS EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE

COMPENSATION PLAN FOR 2007

The Metabasis
Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to offer
incentive compensation to all eligible employees by rewarding the achievement
of individual and company goals. This plan helps foster an environment that
focuses on the achievement of goals through teamwork, recognition of company
goals and a drive for profitability. The Company reserves the right to
discontinue or modify the Plan at any time at its sole discretion.

I.              Purpose
of the Plan

The Metabasis
Employee Incentive Compensation Plan is designed to:

·                                          Encourage teamwork among all areas within
the Company

·                                          Incorporate an incentive program within
the Company’s overall compensation program designed around the company and
individual goals;

·                                          Reward employees who have a positive
impact on company results;

·                                          Provide an incentive to achieve overall
company goals thereby enhancing shareholder value.

II.            Plan
Governance

The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors will govern the Plan. The Chief Executive
Officer of Metabasis will be responsible for administration of the Plan. The
Compensation Committee will be responsible for approving any incentive awards
to officers of the Company and for determining and approving incentive awards
to the President and Chief Executive Officer.

III.           Incentive Compensation Determinations

A.            Incentive Bonus Target

Incentive bonus targets represent the incentive bonus
payable to an employee as a percentage of each eligible participant’s annual
compensation rate (base salary and sales commissions only) assuming attainment
of 100% of individual and company goals and the composition of the employee
workforce. The following are the incentive bonus targets for each respective job
title or group. At the discretion of management, the bonus may be linked to
salary grade rather than a title:

C.            Company and Individual Performance
Goals

1)                                      The Plan provides for incentive bonuses
based on the achievement of annual individual and company goals that have been
submitted and approved as described in point #2 of this section. The relative
weight between individual and company performance factors varies based on job
levels. The weighting will be reviewed prior to the beginning of each calendar
year and adjusted as necessary or appropriate. The plan weighting for calendar
year 2007 are:

	
  TITLE

2)                                      The President and Chief Executive Officer
will present to the Board of Directors a list of overall company goals for the
year, which are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. All
management-level participants will develop a written list of key

individual goals
to be approved by the responsible vice president and by the President and Chief
Executive Officer.

3)                                      Separate payment “percent multipliers”
will be determined after evaluating both individual and company performance
against goals. The following scale will be used to determine the actual bonus
percent multiplier based upon measurement of individual and company performance
against stated goals:

	
  PERFORMANCE

  	
   

  	
  PERCENT

  	
   

  
	
  MEASUREMENT

  25%-74

  	
  %

  
	
  Performance for the
  year was unacceptable

  	
   

  	
  0

  	
  %

  

 

IV.                          Calculation of Incentive Bonus

Calculation Steps (See
attached example):

1)                                Management determines each participant’s
maximum incentive bonus target (the “Bonus Target”) by multiplying the
participant’s base salary paid during the calendar year by the appropriate
bonus target percentage;

2)                                Management determines each participant’s
maximum incentive bonus target for both individual (Individual Target) and
company (Company Target) categories by multiplying the appropriate percentage
weighting for each participants position by the participant’s Bonus Target;

3)                                Management multiplies the approved
company and individual performance measurement percentages against the participant’s
Company Target and Individual Target respectively.

4)                                Management adds the individual and
company totals together to determine the incentive bonus earned for each
participant.

V.                              Payment of Incentive Bonuses

Annual individual and
company performance reviews will be completed prior to awarding bonuses. This
process requires appropriate management to submit written evaluations of
eligible employee’s individual performance against goals, along with
recommended performance measurement percent multipliers, to their respective
department Vice

Presidents. These
evaluations and recommendations will be reviewed and submitted for approval by
the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer will submit individual
evaluations for all officers and recommendations, along with an evaluation of
the Company’s performance against goals, to the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. The Committee will provide final approval for incentive
compensation bonus pay-outs for the officers. The Chief Executive Officer will
approve all non-officer bonuses.

The Company reserves the
right to make any or all of the incentive bonus pay-out in the form of cash or
company stock. Additionally, the Company, in its sole discretion, may pro-rate
an employees incentive compensation bonus based on the employee’s date of hire,
tenure in position or other factors as deemed appropriate.

with a claim against the Purchaser or a third party claim) up to the amount
equal to the purchase price paid or to be paid by the Purchaser under this
Agreement, arising out of or resulting from:

assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party, and after notice from it to such Indemnified Party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the other party will not be liable
to such Indemnified Party under Section 8.1 or 8.2 for any legal or other
expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof, or for any settlement thereof entered into without the consent
of the other party; provided, however, that if (i) the other
party shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) the
Indemnified Party reasonably determines (x) that there may be a conflict
between the positions of the other party and of the Indemnified Party in
defending such claim or action or (y) that there may be legal defenses
available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those
available to the other party, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of
clauses (i) and (ii)(x), or such different defenses, in the case of clause
(ii)(y), and the other party shall be liable for any reasonable legal or other
expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense.

Section 8.4             Indemnification Non-Exclusive.  The foregoing indemnification provisions are
in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or
common-law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement.

of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements
contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.3           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement
and the Merger Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to
herein and therein) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all other
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 14
 

Section 10.4           Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid,
void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the
validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction. 
If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other
authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or
unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall
have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term
or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid,
void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid
and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the
invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 10.5           Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to
Sections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section, Schedule
or Exhibit of this Agreement, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.  The table of contents and headings contained
in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any
way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including”
are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without
limitation,” if they are not already followed by such words.

Section 10.6           Counterparts; Effect.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile
and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

Section 10.7           No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each
party hereto and each permitted assignee hereof, and nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or
remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.8           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Section 10.9           Venue.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees
that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect hereof or thereof, brought by any other party hereto or its
successors or assigns shall be brought and determined only in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such court would
not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York in New York County.  Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or
proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim
or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, or
the transactions contemplated hereby (i) any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than
the failure to serve in accordance with Section 10.2, (ii) that it or its
property is exempt or

 15
 

immune from jurisdiction of such court or from any
legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of
judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the
applicable law, that (x) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is
brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper and (z) this Agreement or the subject mater hereof, may
not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 10.10         Waiver of Jury Trial and Certain Damages.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (A) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN TORT OR IN CONTRACT, AND (B) ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO RECEIVE DAMAGES FROM ANY OTHER PARTY BASED ON ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

Section 10.11         Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party hereto
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of
the other party; provided, however, that the Purchaser may,
without the consent of the Company, assign its Registration Rights to any
transferee of its Shares.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 1.               Effectiveness
of Registration Rights.  The
registration rights pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof shall become effective
on the Closing Date.

Section 2.               Registration
Rights Generally.

(a)           Shelf
Registration.  The Company shall
cause to be filed or become effective, no later than 20 days after the Closing
Date, a registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”)
filed with the SEC on Form S-3 (or any successor form), or, at the Company’s
election, a prospectus supplement issued pursuant to the Company’s existing
shelf registration statement, and such other documents as may be necessary to
permit offerings and sales of Registrable Shares by Holders pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act.  Subject to
Section 2(c), the Company shall maintain such Shelf Registration Statement
effective and current until the earlier of (i) the time all Registrable Shares
are sold pursuant to such registration statement and (ii) the time when all
Shares are Transferable Shares.  The
Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required
by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form
used for such Shelf Registration Statement or if required by the Securities
Act.

(b)           Contingent
Demand Registration.  Subject to
Section 10, in the event that the Company has failed to or is unable to file
and maintain a Shelf Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 2(a) and
until such failure or inability is remedied, one or more Holders holding
individually or in the aggregate at least 20% of the Registrable Shares
outstanding as of the Closing Date shall have the right to make a written
demand upon the Company (a “Demand Notice”) to have the Company as
promptly as practical register under the Securities Act for offer and sale all
Registrable Shares specified to the Company by such Holders within 10 days of
the date of the Demand Notice, and the Company agrees to so register such
Registrable Shares.  If a Demand Notice
has been made on the Company, no subsequent Demand Notice may be made on the
Company for 90 days unless the Company has failed to comply with its
obligations with respect to the Demand Notice. 
The Holders shall have the right to exercise registration rights
pursuant to this Section 2(b) up to four (4) times; provided, however,
that any such exercise shall relate to not less than one million shares of
Company Common Stock.

(c)           Blackout
Period.  Notwithstanding Section 2(a)
above, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company (each, a “Blackout Notice”)
stating that there is a reasonable likelihood that such disclosure, such
registration statement or related prospectus to be filed, amended or
supplemented, or any other action to be taken in connection with the
prospectus, would materially and adversely affect or interfere with any
financing, acquisition, merger, disposition of assets (outside the ordinary
course of business), corporate reorganization or other similar transaction
involving the Company, the Company shall be entitled to suspend the use of the
registration statement or delay the delivery or filing, but not the
preparation, of any amendment or supplement to the registration statement or
otherwise delay the completion of any sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to
the registration statement for a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed
thirty (30) days (the

 A-1
 

“Blackout Period”) within the ninety (90) day
period beginning on the first day of a Blackout Period; provided, however, that
the Company shall not deliver a Blackout Notice more than twice in any 365-day
period; and provided, further, that any Blackout Period shall only be effective
when and for so long as other holders, if any, of registration rights with
respect to the Company’s securities are restricted from exercising their
registration rights to the same or greater extent as the Holders.  Upon receipt of a Blackout Notice, the
Holders shall not effect sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to the
registration statement.  The Company
shall promptly deliver written notice to the Holders of the expiration or
earlier termination of any Blackout Period.

Section 3.               Incidental
Registration Rights.  Subject to
Section 10, in the event that the Company has failed to or is unable to file
and maintain a Shelf Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 2(a) and
until such failure or inability is remedied, if the Company proposes to
register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for
security holders of the Company other than any Holder) any Company Common Stock
for sale under the Securities Act or effect or participate in an offering of
Company Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to
Section 2 hereof, (ii) securities to be issued pursuant to a stock option or
other employee benefit or similar plan, or (iii) securities proposed to be
issued in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection with a merger
or consolidation with, another corporation) the Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, give written notice to the Holders of the Company’s intention to
effect such registration or effect or participate in such an offering.  If, within ten (10) days after receipt of
such notice, any Holder submits a written request to the Company specifying the
amount of Registrable Shares that it proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of
in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to include the Registrable Shares specified in the contemplated
offering.  If the offering is to be made
by or through underwriters, the Company, any selling Holder and such
underwriter shall execute an underwriting agreement in customary form; provided,
however, that if the Company and any selling Holder are advised in writing in
good faith by the lead underwriter of the Company’s securities that the amount
to be sold by Persons other than the Company (collectively, “Selling
Stockholders”) is greater than the amount that can be offered without
adversely affecting the offering (taking into consideration the interests of
the Company and the Holders), the Company may reduce the amount offered for the
accounts of Selling Stockholders (including such holders of Registrable Shares)
to a number reasonably deemed satisfactory by such lead underwriter; provided
that the shares that shall be excluded shall be excluded in the following
order: (i) first, securities held by any Persons not having any contractual or
incidental “piggy-back” rights in respect of the offering contemplated by this
Section 3, (ii) second, Registrable Shares held by the Holders sought to be
included in the offering pursuant to this Section 3 and Company Common Stock
sought to be included in such offering by Persons having contractual or
incidental “piggy-back” rights, (iii) third, Company Common Stock sought to be
offered and sold by other Persons having demand rights with respect to such an
offering and (iv) fourth, Company Common Stock sought to be sold by the
Company.  Any reduction of the number of
Registrable Shares indicated under (ii) shall be made on a pro rata basis based
upon the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be
registered pursuant to this section by the relevant Holders and other Persons.

 A-2
 

Section 4.               Underwriting and Broad
Distribution.

(a)           At
the request of any Holder, with respect to a sale of Registrable Shares by such
Holder, the Company shall enter into an underwriting, agency, placement,
subscription or other agreement, in usual and customary form and substance
(including but not limited to usual and customary indemnities, the provision by
independent counsel to the Company of customary opinions and the provision of
customary certificates by officers of the Company and the provision by the
Company’s independent accountants of customary comfort letters as reasonably
requested by such Holder and the lead underwriters of such offering) with
managing underwriters to be selected by such Holder and not disapproved by the
Company acting reasonably, and the Company shall perform its obligations in
connection therewith.

(b)           The
Company shall be required to enter into an underwriting, agency, placement,
subscription or other agreement pursuant to Section 4(a) only if such
Registrable Shares are to be offered and sold in a manner intended to result in
a broad distribution within or outside the United States (simultaneously or
both), such that no single purchaser of the Registrable Shares will acquire in
such offering more than 9.8 percent of the Company Common Stock outstanding at
the time of such purchase and sale.

Section 5.               Registration Mechanics.

(a)           Company
Obligations.  In connection with any
registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2 or 3, the Company
shall:

(i)            prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to the sale or other
disposition of all of the securities proposed to be registered by such
registration statement;

(ii)           furnish
to the Holders such number of copies of any prospectus (including preliminary,
amended and supplemental prospectuses and any “issuer free writing prospectuses”
(as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act)) and conformed
copies of the registration statement (including amendments or supplements
thereto and, in each case, all exhibits) and such other documents as it may
reasonably request, but only while the Company 
shall be required under the provisions hereof to cause the registration
statement to remain effective;

(iii)          (A)          use its best efforts to register or
qualify the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement under
such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders or
any underwriter shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and
things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such Holders or any
underwriter to consummate the disposition of Registrable Shares in such
jurisdictions and (B) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so
long as the registration statement remains in effect; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated to qualify to do business as a foreign
corporation under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it shall not then be
qualified or to file any

 A-3
 

general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction in which such a consent has not been previously filed;

(iv)          furnish
to the Holders, addressed to them, (A) an opinion of counsel for the Company,
dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement relating to any
underwritten offering, and (B) a “cold comfort” letter signed by the independent
public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements
included in such registration statement, covering substantially the same
matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus
included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to
events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily
covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered
to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other
matters as such Holders may reasonably request;

(v)           use
its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Shares proposed to be
registered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by
such other federal or state government agencies or authorities as may be
necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company to enable the Holders to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares;

(vi)          within
a reasonable time before each filing of the registration statement or
prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto with the SEC, furnish to
counsel selected by the Holders copies of such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents shall be subject to the reasonable approval of such counsel,
and promptly provide such counsel with all written comments from the SEC with
respect to such documents;

(vii)         make
available to the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to a registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other
agent or representative retained by any selling Holder or underwriter, upon
request, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and Company Subsidiaries, including access to due
diligence meetings involving the senior executives of the Company, as shall be
reasonably necessary to enable the Holders, representatives of the Holders and
the underwriters to conduct reasonable due diligence and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably
requested by any such person in connection with such registration statement
subject, in each case, to such confidentiality agreements as the Company shall
reasonably request and that in the case of the Holders, this obligation shall
only apply to one attorney, accountant or other representative designated by
the Requesting Holders;

(viii)        make
available executive officers and other members of senior management of the
Company (including the principal executive and financial officers of the Company)
at “road shows” or other investor presentations conducted in connection with
offerings of Registrable Shares;

(ix)           notify
the Holders any time a prospectus relating to the offering of Registrable
Shares is required to be delivered or filed under the Securities Act upon
discovery that, or upon the occurrence of any event as a result of which, the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material facts
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and
(subject to the good

 A-4
 

faith determination of the board of directors of the
Company as to whether to cease all sales under such registration statement), at
the request of the Holders prepare and furnish to it a reasonable number of
copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made;

(x)            use
reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
SEC; and

(xi)           cause
the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement to be listed on
the New York Stock Exchange and on any other principal securities exchange on
which Company securities of the same class as the Registrable Shares are then
listed.

(b)           Holder
Obligations.  Each Holder agrees that
upon  receipt of any notice from the
Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section
5(a)(ix), it will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Registrable Shares
pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Shares
until it receives copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated
by Section 5(a)(ix) and, if so directed by 
the Company, it will deliver to the Company all copies then in their
possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Shares, current at
the time of receipt of such notice.  If a
Holder’s disposition of Registrable Shares in connection with a Demand Notice
is discontinued pursuant to the foregoing sentence, unless the Company
thereafter extends the effectiveness of the registration statement to permit
dispositions of Registrable Shares by any selling Holders at least thirty (30)
consecutive days and for an aggregate of one hundred and eighty (180) days,
whether or not consecutive, the registration statement shall not be counted for
purposes of determining whether the Holders have exercised a Demand Notice pursuant
to Section 2(b).

Section 6.               Expenses.  The Company shall pay or cause to be paid all
of the Company’s fees and expenses in connection with any registration and sale
of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights (including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees, all printing costs, all fees and
expenses of counsel and independent accountants for the Company, and all fees
and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws).

Section 7.               Indemnification and
Contribution.

(a)           Indemnification
by the Company.  With respect to any
offering and sale registered pursuant to these Registration Rights, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold any selling Holder, each underwriter, if any, of
the Registrable Shares under such registration, and each Person who controls
any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
and any directors and officers of the foregoing, harmless against any and all
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and
other reasonable expenses incurred in the investigation and defense thereof) to
which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise (collectively “Losses”), insofar as any such Losses shall
arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement relating
to the sale of such Registrable Shares, or the

 A-5
 

omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the prospectus relating to the sale of such
Registrable Shares, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, any applicable state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities
law; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7
shall not apply to such Losses which shall arise out of or shall be based upon
any such untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, which
shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by any selling Holder or any such
underwriter, as the case may be, specifically for use in connection with the
preparation of the registration statement or prospectus contained in the
registration statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement therein.

(b)           Indemnification
by the Holders.  In the case of each
offering and sale registered pursuant to this Article II, any selling Holder
and each underwriter, if any, participating therein shall severally indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and the directors and
officers of the Company, with respect to any statement in or omission from such
registration statement or prospectus contained in such registration statement
(as amended or as supplemented, if amended or supplemented as aforesaid) if
such statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any selling
Holder or such underwriter, as the case may be, specifically for use in
connection with the preparation of such registration statement or prospectus
contained in the registration statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto.

(c)           Notice.  Each party indemnified under this Section 7
shall promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against
such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder,
notify the indemnified party in writing of the commencement thereof.  The failure of any indemnified party to
notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability in respect of such action which it may have to such indemnified party
on account of the indemnity contained in this Section 7, unless (and only to
the extent) the indemnifying party was prejudiced by such failure, and in no
event shall such failure relieve the indemnifying party from any other
liability which it may have to such indemnified party.  In case any action in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder shall be brought against any
indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and,
to the extent that it may desire, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof through counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable
costs of investigation (unless such indemnified party reasonably objects to
such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which
are different from or in addition to those

 A-6
 

available to such indemnifying party in which event the
indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense thereof with
respect to such defenses).  No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which the 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 arising out of such claim or proceeding.

(d)           Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold
such indemnified party harmless from any Losses in respect of which this
Section 7 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of
exceptions provided herein), then each applicable 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 the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in
connection with the offering to which such contributions relates as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. 
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, each party’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning
the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, and the opportunity to
correct and prevent any statement or omission. 
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be
deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any investigation or proceeding to the extent such party would
have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section 7 was available to such party. 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding paragraph.  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 guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 8.               Exchange
Act Reports.  With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit an Investor to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration, prior to
completion of the Merger, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts
to:

(a)           make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in Rule 144, at all times, and take all action as may be required as a
condition to the availability of Rule 144;

(b)           so
long as a Holder owns any Registrable Shares, furnish to any Holders upon its
request a written statement certifying the Company’s compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144 or any similar rule, and a copy of the most
recent annual, periodic or current report of the Company filed pursuant to the
Exchange Act and such other reports and documents as reasonably requested by
such Holder in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing
the sale of the Registrable Shares without registration;

 A-7
 

(c)           file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(d)           facilitate
and expedite transfers of Registrable Shares sold pursuant to SEC Rule 144,
including providing timely notice to its transfer agent to expedite such
transfers.

Section 9.               Other
Agreements.

(a)           The
Company shall not grant, and has not granted, any other Person rights to
register securities of the Company on terms that would be reasonably likely to
restrict the ability of the Company fully to perform its obligations to the
Holders in connection with the Registration Rights.

(b)           The
Company shall not amend any registration rights agreement with any other Person
nor shall the Company waive any provision under any registration rights
agreement that it would be entitled to waive thereunder if such waiver would be
reasonably likely to adversely affect any Holder’s Registration Rights.

Section 10.             Benefits
of Registration Rights.  The
Purchaser and any permitted holder of the Shares under the Stock Purchase
Agreement may exercise and have the benefits of the Registration Rights
initially granted to the Purchaser hereunder in such manner and in such
proportion as shall be determined by the Purchaser (the Purchaser and such
holders exercising Registration Rights each shall be termed a “Holder”
hereunder); provided, that each Holder shall also be subject to the obligations
provided hereunder.

(i)            The
Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Maryland.

(ii)           The
Company has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

(iii)          The
Shares have been duly authorized and when delivered and paid for in accordance
with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable; and the issuance of the Shares will not be subject to
any preemptive or similar rights under the Company’s charter or bylaws or under
Maryland law.

(iv)          The
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the
Purchaser, constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with and subject to its terms and
conditions, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar Laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general
equity principles.

(v)           None
of the execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement by the Company, the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby or
compliance by the Company with any of the provisions thereof will
(i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the organizational
documents of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, (ii) require
any filing by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries with, notice to,
or permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity,
except for such of the same that has already been obtained, (iii) require
any consent or notice under, result in a violation or breach by the Company or
any of the Company Subsidiaries of, constitute (with or without due notice or

other party pursuant to, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any
note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, Permit or other instrument or
obligation or Material Contract or Company Lease to which the Company or any of
the Company Subsidiaries is a party or by which they or any of their respective
properties or assets may be bound or (iv) violate any Law, excluding from
the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) such filings, notices, permits,
authorizations, consents, approvals, violations, breaches, trigger events,
creation of liens or defaults which, individually or in the aggregate, would
not either (A)  prevent or materially delay consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (B) otherwise prevent or
materially delay performance by the Company of its obligations under the
Agreement or (C) reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect.  We do not express any

 B-1
 

opinion, however, on whether the execution, delivery
or performance by the Company of the Agreement will constitute a violation of,
or constitute a default under, any covenant, restriction or provision with
respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition
or results of operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

(vi)          Commencing
with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003, the Company has been organized
and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and
taxation as a REIT, pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and
the Company’s current and proposed method of operation will enable it to
continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT
under the Code, with customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and
based on customary representations.  We
expressly declaim and do not render any opinion with respect to the Company’s
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code based on the current and
proposed method of operations for any period after the Merger set forth in the
Merger Agreement.

The foregoing opinion shall be rendered by outside
counsel for the Company reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.
