Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

11.3 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver such other documents or agreements as may be necessary or desirable for the implementation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.4 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) The Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Nassau County, State of New York over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any Party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11 hereof.

11.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Documents represent the entire understanding and agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Parties hereto. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

11.6 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 conflict of laws thereunder which would specify the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

11.7 Headings; Interpretive Matters. The section headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are to be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the Parties hereto by reason of the extent to which any such Party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof or thereof.

11.8 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Purchaser shall timely issue a Current Report on Form 8-K (no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following the Closing Date), reasonably acceptable to Purchaser disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall attach forms of the Transaction Documents thereto. The Company and Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor Purchaser 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 Purchaser, or without the prior consent of Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, 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.

11.9 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in Common Stock of the Company.

11.10 Delivery of Certificates Representing Shares at Closing. The Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, certificates representing the Shares purchased by Purchaser to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

11.11 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, telecopied (with receipt confirmed by telephone), or mailed by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Parties at the address or telecopier number indicated in the signature pages hereof or as subsequently modified by written notice. All notices are effective upon receipt or upon refusal if properly delivered.

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

11.13 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party hereto (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate of the Purchaser, but such assignment shall not relieve the assigning Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to, issuance of shares of the Purchaser representing the Stock Consideration. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Purchaser as a purchaser or holder of the Shares (or any securities pursuant to which such Shares may be converted or exercised into) are also for the benefit of and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of such Shares. Upon any permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.15 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time-to-time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have duly executed this Common Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the date first set forth above.
