For purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual in the Applicable Plans, the service of each Business Employee prior to the Closing Date shall be treated as service with the applicable member of the Radiancy Group, to the extent recognized by PHMD prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits and DSKX shall not be required to provide service credit for benefit accrual purposes under any DSKX Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan. In addition, subject to applicable Legal Requirement, DSKX shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Applicable Plans waive, or caused to be waived, all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Business Employees under any DSKX Plan in which such Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date.

(v) Nothing contained in this Section 5.5, expressed or implied, shall (i) be treated as the establishment, amendment or modification of any Employee Benefit Plan or Applicable Plan or, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5, constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify, merge or terminate after the Closing Date any Employee Benefit Plan or Applicable Plan, (ii) give any current or former employee, officer, director or other independent contractor (including any beneficiary or dependent of the foregoing) of the Parties or their respective Affiliates any third Party beneficiary or other rights, or (iii) except as explicitly set forth in this Section 5.5, obligate DSKX or any of its Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular Employee Benefit Plan or Applicable Plan, or (B) retain the employment or services of any current or former employee, officer, director or other service provider.

(vi) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 5.6(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 5.6 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
(vii) In the event of any breach or attempted breach of any provision contained in Section 5.6(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other temporary relief without the need to post a bond and, subject to the other limitations herein, to such other and further legal and equitable relief and damages as may be proper.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c), until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, neither the PHMD Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) (A) fail to make or withdraw, modify or amend or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or amend, in any manner adverse to DSKX or its Subsidiaries, its recommendation of this Agreement or the Photomedex Technology Merger Agreements or the Mergers contemplated hereby or thereby (the "PHMD Board Recommendation"), (B) fail to make a statement in opposition and recommend to PHMD's stockholders rejection of a tender or exchange offer for PHMD's securities initiated by a third party pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Securities Act within ten (10) Business Days after such tender or exchange offer shall have been announced or commenced by such third party, or (C) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal concerning PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology (any of the foregoing in clauses (A)-(C), a "PHMD Adverse Recommendation Change"), or (ii) adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt or recommend, or allow PHMD or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar Contract constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.9(b)) (any of the foregoing, an "Acquisition Agreement"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the PHMD Stockholder Approval, the PHMD Board may in response to a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal concerning PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology that was made after the date hereof, that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.9, and that the PHMD Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) constitutes a Superior Proposal (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the PHMD Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of the receipt of such Superior Proposal, the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (y) cause PHMD to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iv) and (only if PHMD shall) concurrently with such termination enter into an Acquisition Agreement if the PHMD Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of the receipt of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect such termination would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that PHMD shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless, prior to or simultaneously with such termination, PHMD pays by wire transfer of immediately available funds the PHMD Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b); provided, further, that the PHMD Board shall not be entitled to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of any such Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iv) in respect of any such Superior Proposal, and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless:
| 59 |
(I) PHMD has provided to DSKX four Business Days' prior written notice that it intends to take a such action (a "Notice of Designated Superior Proposal"), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal) that is the basis of the proposed action by the PHMD Board (a "Designated Superior Proposal") and attach the most current form or draft of any written agreement providing for the transaction contemplated by such Designated Superior Proposal and all other contemplated transaction documents (including any agreements with any stockholders, directors or employees) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Designated Superior Proposal, and a new four Business Day period); and
(II) at the end of such four Business Day period, such Acquisition Proposal concerning PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology has not been withdrawn and the PHMD Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal concerning PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement agreed to or proposed by DSKX in a binding written offer in response to a Notice of Designated Superior Proposal which is capable of being accepted by PHMD).
(d) PHMD promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) shall advise DSKX orally and in writing of (i) any written Acquisition Proposal, including any Acquisition Proposal concerning PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology, (ii) any written request for non-public information relating to PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, and member of the Radiancy Group or Photomedex Technology, other than requests for information not reasonably expected to be related to an Acquisition Proposal and (iii) any written inquiry or request for discussion or negotiation regarding an Acquisition Proposal, including any Acquisition Proposal concerning PHMD and all its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology, and including in each case the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and attach a copy of any such written Acquisition Proposal, or if such Acquisition Proposal is provided orally to PHMD, PHMD shall summarize in writing the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal. PHMD shall keep DSKX reasonably and promptly informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any material change or proposed material change to the terms thereof) of any Acquisition Proposal. PHMD shall provide DSKX with prior notice of any meeting of the PHMD Board or any committee thereof at which the PHMD Board or any committee thereof is expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry or to consider providing information to any person or group in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry.

(e) Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prevent PHMD or the PHMD Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or (ii) from making any required disclosure to PHMD's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the PHMD Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to disclose such information would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), any such disclosure, other than a "stop, look and listen" communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, may still be deemed to be a PHMD Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.9(c) unless the PHMD Board expressly publicly reaffirms the PHMD Board Recommendation in such disclosure.
(f) Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, neither the DSKX Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) (A) fail to make or withdraw, modify or amend or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or amend, in any manner adverse to PHMD or the Radiancy Group and Photomedex Technology, its recommendation of this Agreement, the Photomedex Technology Merger Agreement or the Mergers contemplated hereby the thereby (the "DSKX Board Recommendation"), (B) fail to make a statement in opposition and recommend to DSKX's stockholders rejection of a tender or exchange offer for DSKX's securities initiated by a third party pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Securities Act within ten Business Days after such tender or exchange offer shall have been announced or commenced by such third party, or (C) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or group of Persons other than PHMD or one of its Subsidiaries for (x) a merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving an acquisition of DSKX (or any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company whose business constitutes 15% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of DSKX and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) or (y) the acquisition in any manner, directly or indirectly, of over 15% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of DSKX and its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the Merger (a transaction pursuant to clause (C), a “DSKX Acquisition Proposal”) (any of the foregoing in clauses (A)-(C), a "DSKX Adverse Recommendation Change"), or (ii) adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt or recommend, or allow DSKX or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar Contract constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any DSKX Acquisition Proposal.
| 61 |
(g) Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, DSKX will not, nor will it cause or permit any of their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, or provide any nonpublic information to, any Person (other than PHMD and its Representatives) relating to any transaction involving the sale of the DSKX Business or any material portion of the property or assets of DSKX or its Subsidiaries or any of the equity interests of DSKX or any of its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, business combination, or similar transaction involving DSKX or any of its Subsidiaries. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, DSKX will not, directly or indirectly, enter into or authorize, or permit any Representatives of DSKX, any of its Subsidiaries or of any of DSKX’s affiliates, directors, officers or employees to enter into, any agreement or agreement in principle with any third Person for the acquisition of DSKX, any of its Subsidiaries, or any material portion of the respective assets or properties of DSKX or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the equity interests of DSKX or any of its Subsidiaries (a "Third-Party Transaction").

PHMD acknowledges that the mere receipt by DSKX of an unsolicited inquiry or proposal regarding a Third-Party Transaction will not constitute a breach of the Company' obligations under this Section 5.9(g), but only if DSKX notifies PHMD of such unsolicited inquiry or proposal as required by this Section 5.9(g).

| 67 |

Section 6.2 Procedures for Indemnification.
(i) If any DSKX Indemnified Person or PHMD Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim indemnification hereunder for any matter (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Article VI, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of facts which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that will serve the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the claim), all in reasonable detail; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. If PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, at any time deliver to the Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to such Notice of Claim. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, the Parties shall have the rights and remedies, if any, available to them under this Agreement or applicable Legal Requirements.
| 68 |
(ii) If an Indemnified Person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 6.2, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of such Third Party Claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail to the extent known by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Person, upon notice to the Indemnified Person, may at any time within thirty (30) days after receiving a Third Party Notice, at its own cost and through counsel of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, defend any claim or demand set forth in a Third Party Notice. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to compromise and settle all indemnifiable matters related to Third Party Claims which are susceptible to being settled and as to which it shall have properly assumed the defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim of all Indemnified Persons named in such Third Party Claim and the sole relief for which are monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that a particular Third Party Claim is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(ii) and Section 6.3(iii) and the aggregate amount of such Third Party Claim exceeds the Indemnifying Person’s applicable maximum aggregate liability, the Indemnifying Person shall not reject any settlement or compromise offer without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall from time to time and otherwise at the Indemnified Person’s request apprise the Indemnified Person of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting Proceeding and shall furnish the Indemnified Person with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such claim, liability or expense or otherwise thereto as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request, and shall diligently defend the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability to any third Party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Notice of Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have properly assumed the defense and shall cooperate fully in the manner requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the Indemnified Person shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, or if the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, which, in either case, would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken together). Until such time as the Indemnifying Person has timely delivered a notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense exercising reasonable business judgment; provided, that, such compromise or settlement shall not be effected within the first thirty (30) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Third Party Notice without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Merger Agreement
| (c) | Adjustments for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. |
(i) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Corporation consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, or spin-off) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Corporation, or (F) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each DSKX Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder, (x) upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate Consideration") receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which shares of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such event; or (y) if the Corporation is acquired in (1) a transaction where the consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists solely of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act, or (3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to the Black-Scholes Value; or (z) the Redemption Price in cash. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the holder a new certificate for shares of preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the holder's right to convert such shares of preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 6(c) and insuring that shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the 20-day VWAP ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of such request and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.

Exhibit A to
Merger Agreement
(ii) Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 6(c), shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Corporation, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein.
(iii) Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall (x) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (y) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (z) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the DSKX Per Share Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then DSKX Per Share Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the DSKX Per Share Conversion Price then in effect. The DSKX Per Share Conversion Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 6(c)(iii). The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter, on the conversion hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 6(c)(iii) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the DSKX Per Share Conversion Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 6(c)(iii) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the DSKX Per Share Conversion Price in effect on the date of such conversion.

(iv). Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or the DSKX Conversion Price, the Corporation at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (A) the consideration received or receivable by the Corporation for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the DSKX Per Share Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Series a Preferred Stock and the transfer agent of the Corporation. The holder will be entitled to the benefit of the adjustment regardless of the giving of such notice. The timely giving of such notice to holder is a material obligation of the Corporation.
| 7. | Miscellaneous. |

The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on such conversion.

(c). Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, take any of the following corporate actions (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent) of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Majority holders”):

| 5 |
(b) Piggyback Registration. Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, then the Company shall promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (the “Registration Rights Notice”) (and in no event shall such notice be given less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the filing of such registration statement), and shall, subject to Section 3(d), include as a Piggyback Registration all of the Registrable Shares (including any Registrable Shares that are removed from the Long-Form Registration as a result of a requirement by the Staff) specified in a written request delivered by the Holder thereof within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery to the Holder of such written notice from the Company. However, the Company may, without the consent of such Holders, withdraw such registration statement prior to its becoming effective if the Company or such other selling stockholders have elected to abandon the proposal to register the securities proposed to be registered thereby. If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Shares and any Other Holders in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Shares and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering (including shares offered by Other Holders), exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell for its own account; and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by both the Holders of Registrable Shares and Other Holders, allocated pro rata among all Holders of Registrable Shares and Other Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares and the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each such Holder or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; provided, that in any event, as between the Holders of Registrable Shares and the Other Holders, the Holders of Registrable Shares shall be entitled to register the offer and sale or distribute at least 45% of the shares of Common Stock to be included in any such registration or takedown. No Registrable Shares or shares of Common Stock owned by Other Holders that are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Shares therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter. The Registrable Shares so withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration; provided, however, that, if by the withdrawal of such Registrable Shares, a greater number of Registrable Shares held by other Holders of Registrable Shares may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Shares in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Shares pursuant to the terms and limitations set forth herein in the same proportion used above in determining the underwriter limitation. Except as set forth on Exhibit 1 annexed hereto, as at the date of this Agreement there are no Other Holders entitled to registration rights, and the granting of any further registration rights by the Company to any Other Holders shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Stockholders Agreement.

(c) Form S-3 Registrations. If the Company shall receive from the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Shares owned by such Holder or Holders (which request or requests shall (i) specify the number of Registrable Shares intended to be sold or disposed of and the Holders thereof and (ii) subject to the Maximum Resale Limitations set forth below, state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares), the Company shall, within a date which shall be not later than ninety (90) days following the date of such written request, (A) use its commercially reasonable efforts to make the initial filing of the Form S-3 Registration Statement, notify all Holders of the filing of such Registration Statement no later than ten (10) days after such filing, (B) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Form S-3 Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares of all Holders to be declared effective no later than the Form S-3 Registration Effectiveness Date and (C) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Form S-3 Registration Statement effective for a period of twenty-four (24) months or for such shorter period ending on the earlier to occur of (x) the sale of all Registrable Shares and (y) the availability of Rule 144 for all Holders to sell all of the Registrable Shares without volume limitations within a 90 day period (for purposes of an S-3 registration under this Section 3(c), the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section, or keep such registration effective pursuant to the terms hereunder, in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities under the securities laws of such jurisdiction or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, in each case where it has not already done so.
| 7 |
(d) Underwriting.
(i) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to Sections 3(a) or 3(c), the Holders Representative shall have the right to approve the managing underwriter selected by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to such offering.
(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is for a registered public offering that is to be made by an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the Registration Rights Notice. In that event, the right of any Holder to Piggyback Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to sell any of their Registrable Shares through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any other stockholders of the Company selling their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company or such other selling stockholders, as applicable.
(e) Other Limitations. If the Commission allows the Registration Statement to be declared effective at any time before or after the Registration Effectiveness Date, subject to the withdrawal of certain Registrable Shares from the Registration Statement, and the reason is the Commission’s determination that (x) the offering of any of the Registrable Shares constitutes a primary offering of securities by the Company, and/or (y) a Holder of any Registrable Shares must be named as an underwriter, the Holders understand and agree that the Company may (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein) reduce, on a pro rata basis, the total number of Registrable Shares to be registered on behalf of each such Holder solely to effect the foregoing.
(f) Occurrence of a Registration Default Event. If a Registration Default Period continues for more than forty-five (45) days, then the Company will make payments to each Stockholder, as partial liquidated damages for the minimum amount of damages to the Stockholder by reason thereof, and not as a penalty, at a rate equal to 1% of the amount equal to the number of Registrable Shares then held by a Stockholder multiplied by $2.00 as may be modified by Section 2.13 of the Photo-Tech Merger Agreement, for each calendar month of the Registration Default Period (pro rated for any period less than 30 days); provided, however, if a Registration Default Event occurs (or is continuing) on a date more than one-year after the Stockholder acquired the Registrable Shares (and thus the one-year holding period under Rule 144(d) has elapsed), liquidated damages shall be paid only with respect to that portion of the Stockholder's Registrable Shares that cannot then be immediately resold in reliance on Rule 144. Each such payment shall be due and payable in cash within three days after the end of each calendar month of the Registration Default Period until the termination of the Registration Default Period and within ten days after such termination. Amounts payable as liquidated damages to each Stockholder hereunder with respect to each share of Registrable Shares shall cease when the Stockholder no longer holds such shares of Registrable Shares or such shares of Registrable Shares can be immediately sold by the Stockholder in reliance on the last sentence of Rule 144(b)(1)(i).

4. Maximum Resale Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, express or implied, contained in this Agreement, in no event may any Stockholder or other Holder of Registrable Shares, effect any resale or other public disposition of such Registrable Shares, or pledge or hypothecate any Registrable Shares, if such resale, disposition, pledge or hypothecation would, in any ninety (90) consecutive day period during the Term of this Agreement, exceed the Maximum Resale Limitations. PHMD, any Permitted Assignee of PHMD and each subsequent Holder of Registrable Shares by its receipt of a copy of this Agreement, does hereby covenant and agree to take such Registrable Shares subject to the Maximum Resale Limitations and agrees that the Transfer Agent of the Company may receive and accept “stop transfer” instructions from the Company with respect to all such Registrable Shares to prevent any resale, disposition, pledge or hypothecation of Registrable Shares that would exceed the Maximum Resale Limitations.

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

(b) In connection with any registration in which a holder of Registrable Shares is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Shares and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, for each holder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that, if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party's prior written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Controlling Person of such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
| 13 |
(d) If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each holder of Registrable Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, whether the violation of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any applicable registration, qualification or compliance was perpetrated by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
| 14 |
(e) In the event of the offer and sale of Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, partners, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which the Holder or any such director, officer, partner or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any actual or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any actual or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company shall reimburse the Holder, and each such director, officer, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (x) an untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by a Holder to the Company for use in the preparation thereof or (y) the failure of a Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 4 or Section 6 hereof respecting the sale of Registrable Shares; or (ii) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased the Registrable Shares that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Shares to such person because of the failure of such Holder to so provide such amended preliminary or final prospectus and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the amended preliminary or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.
| 15 |
(f) As a condition to including Registrable Shares in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 9 and, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each underwriter, if any, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is included or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder to the Company for use in the preparation thereof, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and such directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants, underwriters, or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that indemnity obligation contained in this Section 9(b) shall in no event exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder as a result of the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer by any Holder of such shares.
(g) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section 9 (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither an indemnified nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding affected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
| 16 |
(h) If an indemnifying party does not or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Sections 9(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(b), the indemnification required by Sections 9(a) and 9(b)9(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred.
(i) If the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) and 9(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(k) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company to each Holder of Registrable Shares with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.
| 17 |
10. Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and (c) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Shares, to furnish in writing upon such Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such holder a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission permitting the selling of any such Registrable Shares without registration and dv) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of a registration statement or the use of Rule 144.
11. For so long as PHMD is an affiliate, as defined pursuant to Rule 144, following the Effective Date, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell shares of Common Stock under Rule 144.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York, both substantive and remedial, without regard to New York conflicts of law principles. Any judicial proceeding brought against either of the parties to this Agreement or any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York, New York county, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties to this Agreement.
(b) Remedies. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein with respect to a Registration Default Event, in the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein with respect to a Registration Default Event, the Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(c) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, Permitted Assignees, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
| 18 |
(d) No Inconsistent Agreements.

(g) Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Holder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereunder 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 any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and with respect to any Purchaser, by execution of an Omnibus Signature Page to this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail, 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.
(i) Severability. In the case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

NOTICE

The undersigned hereby provides the following information to the Company and represents and warrants that such information is accurate:

Yes ¨ No ¨
| (4) | If you are an affiliate of a broker-dealer, do you certify that you purchased the Registrable Shares in the ordinary course of business, and at the time of the purchase of the Registrable Shares to be resold, you had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Registrable Shares? |

| 2 |
| d) | Beneficial Ownership of Securities of the Company Owned by the Selling Security Holder: |
Except as set forth below in this Item 4, the undersigned is not the beneficial or registered owner of any securities of the Company.
(a) Please list the type (common stock, warrants, etc.) and amount of all securities of the Company (including any Registrable Shares) beneficially owned1 by the Selling Security Holder:
| e) | Relationships with the Company: |
Except as set forth below, neither you nor (if you are a natural person) any member of your immediate family, nor (if you are not a natural person) any of your affiliates2, officers, directors or principal equity holders (owners of 5% of more of the equity securities of the undersigned) has held any position or office or has had any other material relationship with the Company (or its predecessors or affiliates) during the past three years.
State any exceptions here:
1 Beneficially Owned: A “beneficial owner” of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (i) voting power, including the power to direct the voting of such security, or (ii) investment power, including the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of a security of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) through the conversion of any security or (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke, or the automatic termination of, a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.
It is possible that a security may have more than one “beneficial owner,” such as a trust, with two co-trustees sharing voting power, and the settlor or another third party having investment power, in which case each of the three would be the “beneficial owner” of the securities in the trust. The power to vote or direct the voting, or to invest or dispose of, or direct the investment or disposition of, a security may be indirect and arise from legal, economic, contractual or other rights, and the determination of beneficial ownership depends upon who ultimately possesses or shares the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the security.
The final determination of the existence of beneficial ownership depends upon the facts of each case. You may, if you believe the facts warrant it, disclaim beneficial ownership of securities that might otherwise be considered “beneficially owned” by you.
2 Affiliate: An “affiliate” is a company or person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls you, or is controlled by you, or is under common control with you.
| 3 |
The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective.
By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items 1 through 5 and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Selling Security Holder Notice and Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.
