The Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, and maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at all times through the date on which the Purchasers shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 5.1 if the Company shall furnish to the Purchasers a certificate signed by the Executive Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time (but excluding any detriment to the Company and its shareholders solely as a result of its effect on the share price), in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 90 days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s obligations to include such shares held by a Purchaser in the Registration Statement are contingent upon such Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding such Purchaser and its Affiliates, the securities of the Company held by Purchaser and its Affiliates and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and such Purchaser and such Affiliates shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder but for no longer than 60 days at a time and no more than twice during any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC.  In such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to file or maintain the effectiveness of a Registration Statement if at the time the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without being subject to any volume limit or manner of sale limitations.

5.2          Suspensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Purchasers not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”). Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Purchaser agrees that (i) such Purchaser will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Notes under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless (a) otherwise required by law or subpoena or (b) disclosed to such Purchaser’s employees, agents and professional advisors (as applicable) who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential. If so directed by the Company, each Purchaser will deliver to the Company or, in such Purchaser’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Notes in such Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Notes shall not apply (i) to the extent such Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

6.1          Expenses.  Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of the applicable Notes.

6.2          Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  On or before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Company shall issue a press release, reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, announcing the signing of this Agreement and describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  On or before the fourth Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and including as an exhibit to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement, in the form required by the Exchange Act.

6.3          Sales by Purchasers.  Each Purchaser will sell any Notes held by it in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, or otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  No Purchaser will make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Notes in violation of federal or state securities laws.

6.4          Conduct of Business.  Until the Closing or the Termination of this Agreement, the Company shall conduct its business in the ordinary course and its business shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Authority, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.5          Form D and Blue Sky; Rule 144.  The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Notes as required under Regulation D.  The Company shall, on or promptly after the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Notes for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Notes required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary (including the issuance of legal opinions) in order to facilitate the sales pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

6.6          Non-Public Information.  Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or as expressly required by any applicable securities law, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents (other than any Person that serves on the Board or that serves on the Board as a designee of any Purchaser) or counsel with any information regarding the Company that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information without the express written consent of such Purchaser, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

6.7          Indemnification.

(a)          Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser (to the extent a seller under, or named as a selling shareholder in, the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Purchaser Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all reasonable losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur arising out of, resulting from or based upon:

(i)          any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, except that the Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a Loss is attributable solely to any of such Purchaser Party’s material breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement; or

(ii)          any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or that such Losses result from the use of the Registration Statement during a notified blackout period and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto;

provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)          Indemnification by the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Company Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses that any such Company Party may suffer or incur arising out of, resulting from or based upon:

(i)          any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement, except that such Purchaser will not be liable to any Company Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a Loss is attributable to the Company’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement; or

(ii)          any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to 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 any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein;

provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)          Indemnification Proceedings.

(i)          For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indemnifying Party” shall mean the party with an obligation to indemnify another party pursuant to Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b) (as applicable) and “Indemnified Party” shall mean the party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b) (as applicable).

(ii)          The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes relates to Losses the subject of indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b) (as applicable) and of which such Indemnified Party is aware (“Third Party Proceedings”). In the case of any delay or failure by an Indemnified Party to provide the notice required by the preceding sentence, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party shall be reduced to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in any Third Party Proceeding and to assume the defense thereof with counsel it elects, in its sole discretion, and in the event the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(iii)          If the indemnification provided under Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b) from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b) and deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 6.7(c)(iii) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Each Indemnifying Party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 6.7(c)(iii) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any Purchaser hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by Purchaser upon the sale of the shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

7.1          Conditions to Purchasers’ Obligations at the Closing.  Each Purchaser’s obligation to complete the purchase and sale of the Notes is subject to the waiver by such Purchaser or fulfillment as of the Closing Date of the following conditions:

(a)          Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by the Company in Article 3 shall be true and correct (i) in all respects as of the date hereof, and (ii) in all material respects as of the Closing Date (if different than the date hereof) (except for those representations and warranties which are qualified as to materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), as though made on the Closing Date, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, (y) for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be required to be true and correct (to the extent specified above) only as of such specific date and (z) for the representations and warranties continued in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, which shall be true and correct in all respects).

(b)          Performance.  All covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed or complied with in all material respects.

(c)          Adverse Changes.  Since the date of execution of this Agreement, no event or series of events shall have occurred that has had or reasonably would be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)          No Governmental Prohibition or Injunction.  No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated, endorsed or threatened in writing by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or, if threatened in writing, could reasonably be expected to prohibit, the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.2          Conditions to Obligations of the Company.  The Company’s obligation to complete the purchase and sale of the Notes and deliver the Notes to each Purchaser is subject to the waiver by the Company or fulfillment as of the Closing Date of the following conditions:

(a)          Receipt of Funds.  The Company shall have received immediately available funds in the full amount of the Purchase Price for the Notes being purchased hereunder as set forth below such Purchaser’s name on the signature page of this Agreement.

(b)          Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by each Purchaser in Article 4 shall be true and correct (i) in all respects as of the date hereof, and (ii) in all material respects as of the Closing Date (if different than the date hereof) (except for those representations and warranties which are qualified as to materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), as though made on the Closing Date, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be required to be true and correct (to the extent specified above) only as of such specific date.

(c)          Performance.  All covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed by such Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed or complied with in all material respects.

(e)          Closing Purchase Deliverables.  Each Purchaser shall have delivered its Closing Purchaser Deliverables in accordance with Section 2.3.

8.1          Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)          by mutual written consent of the Company and each Purchaser; or

(b)          by either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) if the Closing has not occurred by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 10, 2021; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time.

8.2          Effect of Termination.  Each party’s right of termination under Section 8.1 is in addition to any other right it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 will not constitute an election of remedies.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that (i) this Section 8.2 and Article 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and will remain in full force and effect, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement will not relieve any party from any liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.

9.1          Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER ANY APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CHOICE OR CONFLICTS OF LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

9.2          Jurisdiction; Venue.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party or its Affiliates against any other party or its Affiliates shall be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such legal action or proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Reorganization and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each of the parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any Order rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein.  Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Reorganization or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

9.3          Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE REORGANIZATION.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.3.

9.4          Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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.

9.5          Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision will be deemed modified in order to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any provision hereof that may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

9.6          Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Purchasers, the Company, their respective Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders, and any amendment or waiver to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9.6 shall be binding on all Purchasers and holders of Notes and the Company; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser.

9.7          Notices.  All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given:  (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed email if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  The addresses for such communications are:

9.8          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.  The Company will not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, and no Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9.8 shall be null and void.

9.9          No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

9.10          Further Assurances.  Each party will do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and will execute and deliver all other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as another party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.11          Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this Agreement.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  The term “or” is not exclusive.  The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.”  The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.  All pronouns and all variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons or entity may require.  Any agreement, instrument or law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated.  References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.  Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the U.S.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.  Any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

9.12          Equitable Relief.  The Company recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Purchasers.  The Company therefore agrees that the Purchasers are entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case.  Each Purchaser also recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Company.  Each Purchaser therefore agrees that the Company is entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case.

9.13          Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all representations and warranties made by the Company and the Purchasers herein shall survive the Closing Date.

9.14          Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement.  Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, or are deemed Affiliates with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Purchaser 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 Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Nothing contained in this Section 9.14 shall be deemed to adversely affect the other provisions in this Agreement providing for action of the Required Holders to bind all of the Purchasers

9.15          Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices.  In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in this Agreement to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

9.16          Exculpation.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.  Each Purchaser agrees that no other Purchaser nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any other Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Notes.
