               (a) The Units are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Units is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or not subject to such requirement, by virtue of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement.
               (b) The Purchaser has reviewed the Offering Memorandum, the Company’s public filings under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all other documents requested by the Purchaser, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein.
               (c) Neither the Commission nor any state securities commission has approved the Units, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering.
               (d) All documents, records and books pertaining to the investment in the Units (including, without limitation, the Transaction Documents) have been made available for inspection by the Purchaser and its representatives. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that all such information is confidential and Purchaser shall not disclose any such confidential information to any third party other than as set forth herein.
               (e) The Purchaser has had reasonable time and opportunity to have discussions with, ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the Units, the terms and conditions of the investment and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.
               (f) In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated herein.
               (g) The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the offering and sale

 

 

of the Units and is not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in Shares or Warrants generally.
               (h) The Purchaser has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than the fees to the Placement Agent described in the Memorandum.
               (i) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities similar to the Shares and Warrants, so as to enable the Purchaser to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering of the Units to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
               (j) The Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, officers or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations as to an investment in the Units, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own advisors.
               (k) The Purchaser is acquiring the Units solely for the Purchaser’s own account for investment and not with a view to resale, assignment or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Units, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement. The Purchaser will not engage in hedging transactions with respect to the Securities or the securities received upon exchange of the Securities unless in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Other than the transaction contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, executed any disposition, including short sales as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but not including the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that the Purchaser first received from the Company or any other Person notice of the proposed details of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date this Agreement is in effect (“Discussion Time”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Units covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence, terms and proposed details of this transaction) and has not used any such confidential information.
               (l) The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Units indefinitely because none of the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Subject to the terms hereunder, legends shall be placed on the Securities to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock books. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent. Although the Company has the obligation to register for resale the Shares and the Warrant Shares (see the Registration Rights Agreement), there can

 

 

be no assurance that such registration will be completed within the time frames required by the Company, or at all. It is not anticipated that there will be any active market for resale of the Securities, and the Securities will not be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future, until and unless the registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective.
               (m) The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.
               (n) The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Units involves a number of very significant risks as described in the Offering Memorandum and the Company’s public filings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (the “Public Filings”), and the Purchaser has carefully reviewed the Public Filings.
               (o) The Purchaser meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as set forth on the Investor Certification contained herein or is a “non-US Person” that is a “qualified investor” as defined in the European Union Prospective Directive, as set forth on such Investor Certification.
               (p) The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, (A) such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units, (B) such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of law or its charter or other organizational documents, (D) such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Securities, (E) the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, and (F) this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; and (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, such representative has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ▇▇▇▇, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership, or other entity for whom such representative is executing this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and such individual, ▇▇▇▇, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and that this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
               (q) The Purchaser had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, deemed relevant by the Purchaser and all such requested information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided to Purchaser to its full satisfaction.

 

 

               (r) The Purchaser represents to the Company that any information which the undersigned has heretofore furnished or furnishes herewith to the Company is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under Federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering of Units. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that he will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Units.
               (s) The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of its net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser.
               (t) No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser in connection with the offering of the Units or as to the Company, which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Offering Memorandum or the Public Filings.
               (u) THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM, OR IN TRANSACTIONS NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SHARES (AND THE WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES) ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY HAS AN OBLIGATION TO REGISTER THE SHARES AND WARRANT SHARES FOR RESALE, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT SUCH REGISTRATION WILL BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE TIME FRAMES REQUIRED, OR AT ALL. THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
               (v) (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.
               (w) The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇> before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.
               (y) To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser, (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser, (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser, or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure2, or any immediate family3 member or close associate4 of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below.
               (z) If the Purchaser is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities, (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities, (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities, and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate.

The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls that the Company reasonably believes are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
               (m) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Units, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

 

               (n) Registration Rights. Except as set forth in the Public Filings, other than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company not previously registered.
               (o) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s charter or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers solely as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
               (p) Proprietary Rights. The Company owns or possesses adequate and enforceable rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names, corporate names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, inventions, formulations, technology and know-how and other intangible property used or proposed to be used in the conduct of its business (the “Proprietary Rights”). The Company or the entities from whom the Company has acquired rights have taken all action necessary to protect all of the Company’s Proprietary Rights. The Company has not received any notice of, and there are no facts known to the Company that indicate the existence of (i) any infringement or misappropriation by any third party of any of the Proprietary Rights or (ii) any claim by a third party contesting the validity of any of the Proprietary Rights. The Company has not received any notice of any infringement, misappropriation or violation by the Company or any of its employees of any Proprietary Rights of third parties, and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its employees has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Proprietary Rights of any third parties. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no infringement, illicit copying, misappropriation or violation of any intellectual property rights of any third party has occurred or will occur with respect to any products currently being sold by the Company or with respect to any products currently under development by the Company or with respect to the conduct of the Company’s business as currently contemplated. The Company is not aware that any of its employees are obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of the employee’s best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business, as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted, conflicts with or will conflict with or result in a material breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. In addition, all employees are required to assign, and have assigned, all intellectual property rights to the Company.
          6. Covenants of the Purchaser and the Company.
               (a) Transfer Restrictions.
          (1) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of such securities (or hedging activities involving such securities) other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated below, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably

 

 

acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred 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.
     (2) The Purchaser agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 6(a), of a legend on any of the certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares 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. ADDITIONALLY, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS IN RESPECT OF THESE AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES MUST BE EFFECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THESE AND THE UNDERLYING 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 OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
     (3) 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 Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured 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 therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, 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.
          (4) Upon request, the Company will remove any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 6(a)(2)): (i) following the resale of Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Shares or Warrant Shares, (ii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). Promptly following the Effective Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent to the effect that (A) resale of the Shares or Warrant Shares has been registered under the Securities Act and (B) the Shares or Warrant Shares may be transferred pursuant to such registration statement, provided that for each sale the Purchaser or the broker effecting the sale on behalf of the Purchaser confirms in writing to the transfer agent that (X) the Purchaser has sold, pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares or Warrant Shares in a bona fide transaction to a third party that is not an affiliate of the Company, and (Y) the prospectus delivery requirements have been satisfied (a “Confirmation Notice”), and certificates representing such transferred shares should not contain a legend restricting future transfers (although residual certificates issued to such holder of Shares or Warrant Shares shall contain a restrictive legend). The Company agrees that following the time when a legend is no longer required under this Section 6(a)(4), it will, following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend and the Confirmation Notice (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), cause to be delivered to such Purchaser’s transferee, a certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to effect a removal of a restrictive legend to the extent such legend is required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act, including any rule of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and judicial interpretations thereof.
          (5) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Shares or Warrant Shares as set forth in this Section 6(a) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance on the Purchaser’s representation that the Purchaser will sell any Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
               (b) 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 the Units in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Units to the Purchasers.
               (c) Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring

 

 

Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Units under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Units, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to registration under such Act.
               (d) Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that following the date of the applicable Closing neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
               (e) Disclosure; Publicity. No Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the Company, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Purchaser shall promptly provide the Company with prior written notice of such public statement or communication. 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.
               (f) Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(f), the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchasers and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from 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 Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (ii) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (B) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, or (C) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (I) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (II) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any

 

 

Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchasers in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
               (g) Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or Warrant Shares or otherwise.
          7. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated in this Section 7:
