3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company, acknowledging that the Company is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties set forth herein to, among other things, ensure that registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act is not required in connection with the sale of the Securities hereby, as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser, if not a natural person, is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Investor Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and in connection therewith, the Company is relying in part on the representations of the Purchaser set forth herein, and it is acquiring the Investor Securities as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Investor Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of distributing any of such Investor Securities and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Investor Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Investor Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Investor Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Investor Securities.

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares and Warrants, it was, and at is at the date hereof and will be on the Closing Date an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not, and is not required to be, registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

(d) Purchaser’s Review of Information. In making an investment decision as to whether to purchase the Shares and Warrants offered hereby, each Purchaser has relied upon the SEC Reports and the representation and warranties of the Company contained herein and conducted such independent examinations as it deemed necessary. Each Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the officers and all such questions have been asked and answered by the Company to the satisfaction of the Purchaser.

(e) Experience of Such Purchaser. Each Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Investor Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Investor Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(f) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares and Warrants as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(g) Compliance with the Securities Laws. Such Purchaser hereby confirms its understanding that it may not cover short sales made prior to the Effective Date with shares of Common Stock registered for resale on the Registration Statement.

(h) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document, nor the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government, governmental agency, or court to which Purchaser is subject or any provision of its organizational documents or other similar governing instruments and it will not result in any conflict with, breach of, or default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or the loss of any benefit) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, permit or other instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is a party, or by which such Purchaser or any of its properties or assets may be bound.

(i) No Advice. Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Investor Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Investor Securities.

(j) No Litigation, Etc. There is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser which could reasonably be expected in any manner to challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(k) Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions set forth herein require no material action by or in respect of, or material filing with, any governmental body, agency, official or authority, by the Purchaser other than (i) any filings, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (ii) the filing by the Purchaser with the SEC of such reports under the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) any filings required by the securities or blue sky laws of the various states.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2 and Section 4.1.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Investor Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Investor Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b) hereof, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Investor Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Investor Securities in the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, OR A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT . THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Investor Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Investor Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the grant of the pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Transaction Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Investor Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any such pledgee shall not be entitled to any rights under any of the Transaction Documents unless and until such pledgee executes a written agreement to be bound by Purchasers’ obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(c) Subject to compliance with all laws, rules and regulations including, but not limited to, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security, or (ii) following any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) and appropriate documentation is provided satisfactory to legal counsel to the Company, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable regulation of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under and pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares and/or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

(d) Each Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares and the Warrant Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Investor Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

4.2 Furnishing of Information. Until the earlier of the date no Purchaser owns any Investor Securities or five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Until the earlier of the date no Purchaser owns any Investor Securities or five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell any Shares and Warrant Shares under Rule 144. Until the earlier of the date no Purchaser owns any Investor Securities or five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, the Company further covenants and agrees that it will take such further action as any holder of Investor Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell any Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of any of the Transaction Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Investor Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Investor Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall by the end of the business on the Business Day following the Closing issue a press release or file a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission. The Company and the Placement Agent shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Placement Agent shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Placement Agent, or without the prior consent of the Placement Agent, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).

4.5 Use of Proceeds. The Company covenants and agrees that all of the net proceeds that it receives from the sale of the Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, although distributed, allocated and expended by the Company in its sole discretion, shall be used for general working capital and corporate purposes.

4.6 Form D and Blue Sky. If required, the Company shall file a Form D with respect to the Transaction Securities as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and, upon written request, provide a copy thereof to each Purchaser and the Placement Agent promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify any Transaction Securities for sale to the Purchasers and/or the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers on or prior to the Closing. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Transaction Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing.

4.7 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Agent Shares.

4.8 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on its current Trading Market, and immediately file with the Trading Market to list the applicable Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent Shares on the Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent Shares and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Purchasers to cause the Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will, to the extent commercially practicable, take all action necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on its current Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.

4.9 Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers (severally but not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, agents, representatives, shareholders and employees and each of their respective affiliates, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such party may suffer or incur which are caused by or arise out of (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach or default in the performance by it of any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents; or (ii) any material misrepresentation or material breach of warranty or representation made by it in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere, the liability of each Purchaser under this Section 4.10 shall be limited to the amount paid by the Purchaser pursuant hereto to purchase the Investor Securities, and the procedures and timing for indemnification by the Purchasers under this Section 4.10 shall follow the procedures and provisions of Sections 5.16(b) and (c), mutatis mutandis, with respect to indemnification by the Company of the Purchasers.

4.10 Reporting Obligations. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any Investor Securities (but in any event no later than five (5) years from the date of this Agreement), the Company shall be required to continue to file or furnish pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain it status as an issuer required to file such reports under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Company shall take all actions necessary to continue to meet the “registrant eligibility”requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form F-3 or any successor form thereto, to continue to be eligible to register the resale of the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Agent Shares under the Securities Act on such Form.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

5.5 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser.

5.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.

5.9 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Shares and Warrants and until earlier of two years from the Closing Date or such time that no Purchaser owns any Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares and any other agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Shares and Warrants and until no Purchaser owns any Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares.

5.10 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 signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

5.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

5.12 Replacement of Investor Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Investor Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Investor Securities.

5.13 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence 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.

5.14 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the extent permissible under applicable law, be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

5.16 Indemnification by the Company.

(a) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the officers, directors, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (including the cost (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses relating to an Indemnified Party’s (as defined below) actions to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.16) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, to the extent arising out of or relating to (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents, or, (ii) any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents, or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnified Party and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents executed pursuant hereto by any of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that the Company shall have no liability under this Section 5.16 for any amount paid in settlement of claims without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; or to the extent that is finally judicially determined that such Losses result solely from a breach by the Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.16 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party (as defined below), in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company shall notify the Purchasers promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any matters related on a factual basis shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(c) Timing of Payments. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5.16 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within five (5) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.
