ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1Warrant Shares. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance of the Warrant Shares or if a Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends (unless the Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants.

4.2Conversion Shares. If all or any shares of Preferred Stock are converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance of the Conversion Shares or

14


if the Conversion Shares to be issued to the Purchaser will have satisfied the holding period under Rule 144, the Conversion Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends (unless the Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance of the Conversion Shares effective so long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

4.3Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

4.4Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company represents to the Purchasers that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents has disclosed any material, non-public information to any of the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 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 Principal Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission; and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Principal Market regulations, in which case the Company shall use best efforts to provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

4.5Indemnification of Purchasers.

(a)The Company shall indemnify a Purchaser and each Related Purchaser Party (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Company) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Purchaser Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Company against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any

15


other Transaction Document, if the Company has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 4.5(a) shall not apply with respect to any taxes, other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

(b)Each Indemnitee entitled to indemnification under Section 4.5(a) shall give notice to the Company promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Company (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, providedhowever, that the Indemnitee may participate in such defense provided that all legal and other expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith shall be at such Indemnitee’s expense, and, provided further, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Company in defending such claim or litigation. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

4.6Reservation and Listing of Securities.

(a)The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

(b)The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the Principal Market, prepare and file with such Principal Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Underlying Shares on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Principal Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on such Principal Market or another Principal Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

4.7Equal Treatment of Purchasers. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents, no consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision 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 for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers

16


acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

4.8Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that it will comply with Regulation M and Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act.

4.9Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Certificate of Designation set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Preferred Stock. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

5.12Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company and within five Business Days, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of a Warrant to the extent permitted by the Certificate of Designation and Warrant, respectively, and applicable law, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

23


obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.15Payment Set Aside.
