The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchasers or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as amended as of the time the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, or if no such filing is required, as included in the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus"), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of them, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting resale of the Purchased Shares, or (iii) any untrue statement or omission of a material fact required to make such statement not misleading in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser before the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser. (ii) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE PURCHASER. Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser, which consent shall not be -12- unreasonably withheld) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure on the part of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting the sale of the Purchased Shares or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of which the Purchaser has delivered to the Company in writing a correction before the occurrence of the transaction from which such loss was incurred, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. (iii) INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. (1) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5(c) of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 5(c), promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(c) or otherwise, to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. (2) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5(c) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless: -13- a) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or b) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(c), the Purchaser shall not be liable for any indemnification obligation under this Agreement in excess of the aggregate amount of gross proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. (iv) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5(c) is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 5(c) in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the placement of Common Stock or (2) if the allocation provided by clause (1) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (1) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Purchased Shares purchased by such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the "DIFFERENCE") between the amount such Purchaser paid for the Purchased Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company and each Purchaser shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c)(iii), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 5(c)(iii) with -14- respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 5(c)(iv); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under Section 5(c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and each Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(c) were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(c), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(c) are several and not joint. (d) RULE 144 INFORMATION. For two years after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action to the extent required to enable the Purchasers to sell the Purchased Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time). 6. ADVISORY FEE. The Purchasers acknowledge that the Company intends to pay to Salomon Smith Barney Inc., William Blair & Company and Robert W. Baird & Co., financial advisors, a fee in respect of the sale of the Purchased Shares. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Purchased Shares to the Purchasers. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers from and against all fees, commissions or other payments owing by the Company to Salomon Smith Barney Inc., William Blair & Company and Robert W. Baird & Co. or any other person or firm acting on behalf of the Company hereunder. 7. CONDITIONS TO THE PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING.

CONDITIONS TO THE GAP PURCHASERS' OBLIGATIONS AT SUBSEQUENT CLOSING. The obligations of the GAP Purchasers under Section 2(b) of this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment by the Company or waiver by the GAP Purchasers, on or before the date that is 150 days after the Closing Date, of the following condition: The Company shall have received either (i) written confirmation from Nasdaq that the approval of a majority of the Company's stockholders, present in person or proxy at a properly convened meeting of the Company's stockholders ("STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL") of the issuance of the GAP Purchasers Shares is not required under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations or (ii) Stockholder Approval of the issuance to the GAP Purchasers of the GAP Purchasers Shares ("APPLICABLE STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL"). 10.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. (a) NASDAQ MATTERS. The Company hereby covenants and agrees with the GAP Purchasers as follows: (i) The Company shall take all action required and shall make all submissions that are reasonably necessary to obtain written confirmation reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the GAP Purchasers from Nasdaq that the approval of a majority of the Company's stockholders of the issuance of the GAP Purchasers Shares is not required under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations in order to satisfy the conditions for the Subsequent Closing in Sections 9 and 10.

The Board of Directors shall recommend that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of the Applicable Stockholder Approval.
