The Company shall have the right, during the 10-day period commencing on the Delivery Date, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Securities described in the Transfer Notice at the price per share set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Investor of (i) the Company's written irrevocable agreement to purchase all of such Securities at such price per share and (ii) payment in immediately available funds of the aggregate purchase price for such Securities to such account or accounts as shall be designated by the Investor. The right described in the preceding sentence shall terminate if the agreement and purchase price described in the preceding sentence are not received by the Investor prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the 10th day immediately following the Delivery Date. If the Company does not exercise its right as hereinabove set forth within such 10-day period, the Investor may sell all or any portion of the Securities described in the Transfer Notice to any purchaser for a price per share equal to or in excess of the price set forth in the Transfer Notice. If, at the end of the Notice Period, the Investor has not completed such sales, the Investor shall no longer be permitted to sell such Securities in a Covered Transaction without again complying with all of the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor may at any time amend, supplement or revise any information set forth in any previously delivered Transfer Notice by delivering an amended Transfer Notice to the Company, in which event the 10- and 90- day periods described above shall recommence from the date of Investor's delivery of such amended Transfer Notice to the Company. (b) As used in this Section, "Covered Sale" shall mean any sale of ------------ Securities by the Investor other than (i) a sale to an Affiliate of the Investor or (ii) a transfer that is registered under the Securities Act or effected pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Successors and Assigns. ----------------------- Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of the Documents (or delegation of the Company's obligations thereunder) may be made by the Company at any time, whether or not by operation of law, without the Investor's prior written consent; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be interpreted to require a separate consent of the holders of the Warrant in connection with any acquisition, business combination, or similar transaction where all or substantially all of the assets or securities of the Company are acquired by a third party. The Investor may not assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the Company's prior consent, except that the Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Investor without the Company's consent provided that such Affiliate delivers to the Company an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company in which such Affiliate assumes all of the Investor's payment and other obligations under this Agreement and makes the representations made by the Investor hereunder. 18. Delays or Omissions. ------------------- Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Company or the Investor upon any breach or default of any party under any Document shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Company or the Investor nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Company or the Investor of any breach or default under any Document, or any waiver on the part of any such party of any provisions or conditions of any Document, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

Stock Certificates. ------------------ Upon surrender of any certificate representing Securities for exchange at the office of the Company, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in exchange therefor new certificates in such denomination or denominations as may be requested for the same aggregate number of Securities represented by the certificate so surrendered and registered as such holder may request. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing any of the Securities and (in case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like tenor and for the number of Securities evidenced by such certificate which remain outstanding. 20. Specific Enforcement. -------------------- The Company acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would be suffered by the Investor in the event that any of the Company's covenants contained in the Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach thereof because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the Investor in the event that such covenants are not performed in accordance with their terms or are otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the covenants referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Documents in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the Investor may be entitled at law or equity.
