The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the other parties hereto except this Agreement.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume, unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary, that any person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

If at that time the Escrow Agent has not received a designation of a successor Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after that time shall be to safe keep the deposited Share Certificate and Purchase Funds and not make delivery or disposition thereof until receipt of a designation of successor Escrow Agent or a joint written disposition instruction by the other parties hereto or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) In the event of any disagreement among the parties hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Share Certificate or Purchase Funds, or in the event that the Escrow Agent otherwise determines that the Share Certificate and/or Purchase funds should be retained, then the Escrow Agent may retain the Share Certificate and/or Purchase Funds until the Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of the Share Certificate and/or Purchase funds, or (ii) a written agreement executed by the other parties hereto directing delivery of the Share Certificate and/or Purchase Funds, in which case the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Share Certificate and/or Purchase Funds in accordance with such order or agreement. Any court order referred to in (i) above shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent to the effect that said court order is final and non-appealable. The Escrow Agent shall make no independent determination regarding the Share Certificates or Purchase Funds absent the filing and notice of a legal action by one or both of the parties.

(h) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors (including successors by way of merger) and assigns, heirs, administrators and representatives and shall not be enforceable by or inure to the benefit of any third party except as provided in paragraph 6(g) with respect to a resignation by the Escrow Agent. Each entity that is a party hereto represents and warrants that they have the full power and authority to bind the entity and that Escrow Agent may rely upon such representation with out further inquiry. This Agreement may be modified only in writing, signed by al of the parties hereto, and no waiver hereunder shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged.

7. (a) Reset. Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity by the Company, provided such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans described on Schedule 5(d) to the Subscription Agreement, (iv) underwritten public offerings by the Company, (v) as described in the Reports (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), and (vi) as described on Schedule 7 hereto (collectively the foregoing are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time during the Compliance Period (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) while the Buyer is holding Shares, the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue any common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $1.00, without the consent of Buyer, then the Seller shall deliver, for each such occasion, additional Shares to Buyer so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of Common Stock sold to Buyer (of only the Purchased Shares still owned by Buyer) is equal to such other lower price per share. For purposes of this Section 7, the purchase price of the Shares shall be deemed to be $1.00 (“Imputed Share Price”). The delivery to the Buyer of the additional Shares shall be not later than the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional Shares (“Issuance Date”). The Buyer is hereby granted by the Company the registration rights described in Section 11 of the Subscription Agreement in relation to such additional Shares, or at the election of the Buyer, registration rights, if any, granted in connection with the dilutive issuance. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the delivery of the additional Shares upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than $1.00.

(b) Maximum Exercise of Rights. If the application of the rights described in Section 7(a) would or could result in the beneficial ownership by Buyer and its affiliates of an amount of Common Stock of the Company in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and its affiliates on an Issuance Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 7(a) with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on an Issuance Date, in excess of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Issuance Date, then the issuance of such additional Shares in excess of 4.99% to Buyer will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as Buyer is able to beneficially own such common stock without exceeding the applicable maximum amount calculated in the manner described above. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of 4.99%. The determination of when such common stock may be issued shall be made by Subscriber.
