4.5Investment Risk; Sophistication.  The Holder is acquiring the Exchange Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.  The Holder has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluation of the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Exchange Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risk of such investment.  The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act.

4.6Ownership of Existing Warrant.  The Holder owns the Existing Warrant free and clear of any Liens (other than the obligations pursuant to this Agreement and applicable securities laws).  

5.Disclosure of Transaction.  The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York City Time, on or prior to the first business day after the date of this Agreement, file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching the Exchange Documents, to the extent they are required to be filed under the 1934 Act, that have not previously been filed with the SEC by the Company (including, without limitation, this Agreement) as exhibits to such filing (including all attachments, the “8-K Filing”).  From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) provided up to such time to the Holder by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents.  In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents or as otherwise disclosed in the 8-K Filing, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Holder or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.  Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor the Holder shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Holder, to make a press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith or (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Holder shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release).  Without the prior written consent of the Holder (which may be granted or withheld in the Holder’s sole discretion), except as required by applicable law, the Company shall not (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to not) disclose the name of the Holder in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise.

6.No Integration.  None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf shall, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) or solicit any offers to buy any security or take any other actions, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Exchange Shares under the 1933 Act or cause this offering of the Exchange Shares to be integrated with such offering or any prior offerings by the Company for purposes of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.  

7.Listing.  The Company shall promptly secure the listing or designation for quotation (as applicable) of all of the Exchange Shares upon the Principal Market (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all the Exchange Shares from time to time issuable under the terms of the Exchange Documents.  The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.  

8.Fees.  Each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the structuring, documentation, negotiation and closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as provided in the previous sentence and except that the Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, transfer agent fees, Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) fees relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.  

9.Holding Period.  For the purposes of Rule 144, the Company acknowledges that the holding period of the Exchange Shares may be tacked onto the holding period of the Existing Warrant, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 9.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that (assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company) (i) the Exchange Shares are as of the date hereof, eligible to be resold pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) the Company is not aware of any event reasonably likely to occur that would reasonably be expected to result in the Exchange Shares (assuming the issuance thereof pursuant to a cashless exercise) becoming ineligible to be resold by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144 and (iii) in connection with any resale of any Exchange Shares pursuant to Rule 144, the Holder shall solely be required to provide reasonable assurances that such Exchange Shares are eligible for resale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144, which shall not include an opinion of Holder’s counsel.  The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees or legal fees of the Company’s counsel with respect to the removal of legends, if any, or issuance of Exchange Shares in accordance herewith.

11.Most Favored Nation.  The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof until the first anniversary of the date hereof, that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement or waiver relating to the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Settlement Document”), is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of the Holder and this Agreement or would otherwise result in such other holder (each, an “Other Holder”) of the Existing Warrant (each, a “Settlement Warrant”), or its designee, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than (or having the right to acquire more than, as applicable) one share of Common Stock, in exchange for (whether by exchange, reduction, cancelation or any other transaction with respect to) any one share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise (without regard to any cashless exercise) of such Settlement Warrant (a “Settlement Make-Whole Event”).  If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Settlement Document, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document and, if a Settlement Make-Whole Event occurs, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, as additional securities issuable pursuant to the Exchange hereunder for the Existing Warrant, such aggregate number of additional shares of Common Stock as equal to the product of (a) ______ multiplied by (b) the difference of (i) the quotient of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted and as-exercised (without regard to cashless exercise) basis) issued (or issuable to) such Other Holder (or its designee) pursuant to such Settlement Agreement and (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise (without regard to any cashless exercise) of the Settlement Warrants subject to reduction, exchange, cancellation or otherwise pursuant to such Settlement Make-Whole Event, less (ii) one (1).   Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder.  The provisions of this Section 11 shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.

12

12.Independent Nature of Holder’s Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of the Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Holder, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder under any other agreement with the Company (each, an “Other Agreement”).  Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement and the Company acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement.  The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors.  The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
