Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, except as specifically disclosed in the 2012 10-K and 2013 10-Q. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company (in his or her capacity as such). The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Except as specified in Section 3.1(k) of the Disclosure Letter, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or, within the last three years, has been the subject of an investigation by any federal, state or local governmental agency and (ii) there are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, that are reasonably likely to result in a claim for damages in excess of $150,000.
(l) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been in compliance with all U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Employee Benefits. Section 3.1(m) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete list of all employee benefit plans, pension plans, stock option, bonus or incentive plans, severance pay plans or agreements, deferred compensation agreements, or any similar plan, agreement or arrangement that are sponsored or maintained by the Company or any member of a Controlled Group or with respect to which the Company or any member of the Controlled Group has made or is required to make payments, transfers or contributions (an “Employee Benefit Plan”). No other corporation, trade, or business exists which would be treated together with the Company as a single “employer” under the provisions of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Employee Benefit Plan has been and is currently administered in compliance with its constituent documents and all reporting, disclosure and other requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Code and any other law applicable to such Employee Benefit Plan. There are no unfunded obligations of the Company under any retirement, pension, profit-sharing, deferred compensation plan or similar program, and any employee contributions withheld from payroll have been timely and fully contributed to the appropriate Employee Benefit Plan as required under ERISA, the Code and applicable law. The Company is not required to make any payments or contributions to any Employee Benefit Plan pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement or any applicable labor relations law. The Company has never maintained or contributed to any Employee Benefit Plan providing or promising any health or other non-pension benefits to terminated employees (other than continuation coverage, at the maximum applicable premium permitted to be charged by the Company, required under Section 4980B of the Code, or Section 601 of the ERISA). For purposes of this Section 3.1(m), the term “Controlled Group” used herein means, collectively, any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) (i) under common control within the meaning of Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA with the Company or (ii) that, together with the Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414(t) of the Code.
(n) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (except to the extent such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, pollution, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety or employment and labor matters, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
14 |
(o) Environmental Compliance. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) has at all times had and now has all environmental approvals, consents, licenses, permits and orders required to conduct the businesses in which it has been or is now engaged and (ii) has at all times been and is now in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws. There are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, under any of the environmental laws (whether by reason of any failure to comply with any of the environmental laws or otherwise). No decree, judgment or order of any kind under any of the environmental laws has been entered against the Company or its Subsidiaries. There are no facts, conditions or situations, whether now or heretofore existing, that could form the basis for any claim against, or result in any liability of, the Company or its Subsidiaries under any applicable environmental laws.
(p) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations, licenses and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess any such certificates, authorizations, licenses or permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization, license or permit.
(q) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned or used by them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens disclosed in the 2012 10-K or 2013 10-Q or as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and, to the Company’s knowledge, enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) Patents and Trademarks.
(i) Section 3.1(r) of the Disclosure Letter accurately sets forth all material Intellectual Property that is owned and/or used in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, viewed as a whole, as presently conducted (“Company’s IP”). No Intellectual Property other than the Company’s IP is material to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as presently conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to Company’s IP (with no breaks in the chain of title thereof) free and clear of, to its knowledge, any claim, security interest, lien, pledge, option, charge or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever except as disclosed in the 2012 10-K or 2013 10-Q. Company’s IP has not been used or enforced or failed to be used or enforced in a manner that would result in the abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability of any of Company’s material rights in and to Company’s IP.
15 |
(ii) The Company has not transferred any rights or interest in, or granted any exclusive license with respect to, any of the Company’s IP to any third party.
(iii) All of the Company’s IP is currently in compliance in all material respects with all legal requirements (including timely filings, proofs and payments of fees) and is, to the Company’s knowledge, valid and enforceable. None of the Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved in any pending or threatened cancellation, dispute or litigation of which the Company is aware. No patent of the Company or its Subsidiaries has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or opposition proceeding.
(iv) All of the licenses and sublicenses and consent, royalty or other agreements concerning Company’s IP which are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of their assets are bound (other than generally commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf software application programs having a retail acquisition price of less than $25,000 per license) (collectively, “License Agreements”) are valid and binding obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries that are parties thereto and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and there exists no event or condition which, to the Company’s knowledge, will result in a material violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such License Agreement.
(v) The Company and its Subsidiaries own or have the valid right to use all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operation of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted. The Company and its Subsidiaries have a valid and enforceable right to use all third party Intellectual Property and Confidential Information used or held for use as the Company’s IP.
(vi) To the best knowledge of the Company, the conduct of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses as currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise impair or conflict with (collectively, “Infringe”) any Intellectual Property rights of any third party or any confidentiality obligation owed to a third party, and, to the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s IP which are necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted are not being Infringed by any third party. There is no litigation or order pending or outstanding or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any of the Company’s IP or, to the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ use of any Intellectual Property or Confidential Information owned by a third party, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.
16 |
(vii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or restriction on the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ownership or right to use any of the Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted.
(s) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent in all material respects with market for similar size companies as the Company and its Subsidiaries for the lines of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for.
(t) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. None of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, which in each case is required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports and has not been so disclosed.
17 |
(u) Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures so that they are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has significantly affected, or is reasonably likely to significantly affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Since the Evaluation Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting controls of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
(v) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the Company’s present fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The foregoing representation and warranty is also true and correct as to the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary intends to incur debts beyond its or their ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its or their debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.
18 |
(w) Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of such Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(w) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(x) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Units by the Company to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. Except as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement and in Section 3.1(x) of the Disclosure Letter, no Person has any rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws of any securities of the Company that have not been satisfied.
(y) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted. The issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction Documents does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the stockholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors the Securities contemplated by Transaction Documents.
(z) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company,” an Affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(aa) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or would become applicable to any of the Investors as a direct result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities to the Investors. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.
19 |
(bb) No Additional Agreements. The Company does not directly or indirectly have any agreement or understanding with any Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Materials.
(cc) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any Person acting on its behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material, non-public information, except insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed transactions hereunder and the information contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents may constitute such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations and warranties in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Sections 3.2 and 4.14.
(dd) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(dd) of the Disclosure Letter, there is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed.
(ee) U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not, and has never been, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and the Company shall so certify upon the request of any Investor.
(ff) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee, except in each case as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(gg) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Units for sale only to the Investors and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(hh) Accountants. The Company’s accounting firm is set forth in the SEC Reports. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting firm: (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2013.
20 |
(ii) Regulation M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities or (ii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority.

Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, and except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Securities for any period of time.

Such Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
21 |

(e) Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.
(f) Certain Trading Activities and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Investor has not engaged, nor has such Investor directed any Person to act on its behalf to engage, in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or “locking-up” borrowing with respect to any of the Company’s securities) since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding this investment in the Company and (2) the 30th day prior to the date of this Agreement.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2 and Section 4.14.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Reasonable Best Efforts. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of this Agreement.
4.2 Legends.
(a) Sales of Securities. Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of any Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.2(d), the Company may, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2(e) below, require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
(b) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Securities in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Securities have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Investor or its legal representatives.
23 |
(c) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (if DTC is then offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules), registered in the name of each Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the Securities in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Investor to the Company upon conversion of the Company Shares or exercise of the Warrants. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent referred to in this Section 4.2(c) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, except as it may reasonably determine are necessary to comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that are enacted or modified after the Closing. If an Investor effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules) in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Securities sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 (provided that in the case of a sale, transfer or assignment under Rule 144 the foregoing is not an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144)), the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Investor, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 4.2(e) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.2(c) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provisions of this Section 4.2(c), that an Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the irrevocable transfer agent instructions required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement to the Company’s transfer agent on each Effective Date. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.
(d) Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(e):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY OR (II) RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
24 |
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer by the pledgee or secured party following default by such Investor or otherwise. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(e) Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(d)) at such time as an Investor has provided reasonable evidence to the Company (including any customary broker’s or selling stockholder’s letters but expressly excluding an opinion of counsel other than with respect to clauses (iv) or (v) below), that: (i) there has been a sale of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement(s)), (ii) there has been a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) such Securities are then eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1)(i), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144) provided that, upon request of the Company, such Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Investor, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on certificates representing Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities containing a restrictive legend and the foregoing evidence (and opinion if applicable), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends or credit the balance account of such Investor’s or such Investor’s nominee with DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules) with a number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock equal to the number of shares represented by the certificate so delivered by such Investor (the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to such Investor or such shares were required to be credited to such Investor’s account with DTC (as the case may be) pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section, except as it may reasonably determine are necessary or appropriate to comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that are enacted or modified after the Closing.
25 |
4.3 Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Investor who requests one promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before 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 Securities for sale to the Investors 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), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investors on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.
4.4 Furnishing of Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Investor owns Securities, (ii) the Warrants have expired or (iii) the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) where the Company is no longer publicly traded following such Fundamental Transaction (the “Reporting Period”) has occurred, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, during the Reporting Period, if the Company is not required or permitted to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule 144. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
4.5 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale of the securities to the Investors.
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement, and by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date occurs on the same date as the execution of this Agreement, in which case only one press release will be required), the Company shall issue press releases disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby (and the material terms hereof) and the Closing. On the Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto the Transaction Documents), and on the Trading Day following the Closing Date the Company will file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the Closing (unless the Closing Date occurs on the same date as the execution of this Agreement, in which case only one Form 8-K will be required).
26 |
4.7 Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, officers, stockholders, partners, employees, members and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, suits, penalties and fees, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of, arising out of or relating to (a) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction Document or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against any Investor Party by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the status of such Investor Party or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; provided, that an Investor Party shall not be entitled to indemnification to the extent any of the foregoing is caused by such Investor Party’s gross negligence, material violation of law or regulation or willful misconduct. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) as incurred in connection therewith, as promptly as practicable after such expenses are incurred and invoiced.
4.8 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries, or other Person acting on its or their behalf will provide an Investor or its agents or counsel with any material, non-public information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries without the prior express consent of the Investor; provided, that no such consent shall be required prior to disclosing any such material, non-public information to (a) a director designated pursuant to the letter agreement between the Company and Independence Blue Cross, dated as of September 30, 2010 (but only when made to such director in his or her capacity as a director) or (b) an Investor (and its respective representatives and advisors) or when such disclosure is required by the express terms of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company understands that the Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Registrable Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents on such exchange or automated quotation system or another Trading Market. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Company Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the Company Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will use reasonable best efforts to take all action that it believes is reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and to comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the Bylaws or rules of the applicable Trading Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which it believes could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock (and if required to be listed by this Section 4.9, the Preferred Stock) on any Trading Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.9.
4.10 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Units hereunder for working capital purposes and not to redeem any Common Stock or Equivalents or any other equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
4.11 Intentionally Omitted.
4.12 Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.13 Variable Rate Transaction. From the date hereof until November 20, 2013, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a “Variable Rate Transaction.” The term “Subsequent Placement” shall mean an issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option to purchase or other disposition of (or announcement of any issuance, offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any of their respective equity or equity equivalent securities, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time and under any circumstances convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, capital stock and other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock Equivalents) (collectively with such capital stock or other securities of the Company, “Equivalents”). The term “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any Equivalents either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Equivalents, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Equivalents or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” or “full ratchet” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit) whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price (other than customary “pre-emptive” or “participation” rights).

28 |
4.14 Trading Restrictions. Each Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that it will not (and its Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will not) engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any transactions in any securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales, “locking-up” borrow or hedging activities involving the Company’s securities) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on February 20, 2014. In furtherance (and without limitation) of the foregoing, during such restricted period, neither such Investor nor any of such Affiliates, (a) will directly or indirectly, sell, agree to sell, grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, borrow or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company, or (b) will establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” with respect to any such securities (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of any such securities, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of any such securities, other securities, cash or other consideration.

(b) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, an Investor must deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Company prior to the end of the third (3rd) Business Day after such Investor’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Investor’s Basic Amount that such Investor elects to purchase (the “Notice of Acceptance”).
(c) The Company shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Investors (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not materially more favorable (when viewed on an aggregate basis) to the acquiring Person or Persons or materially less favorable (when viewed on an aggregate basis) to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice.
(d) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Investors shall acquire from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, and the Company shall issue to the Investors, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice.

6.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the assigned or transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors,” in which event such assignee or transferee shall be deemed to be an Investor hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
6.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7 (as to each Investor Party).

6.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law or choice of law principles that would cause the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the Delaware Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such Delaware Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
6.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
6.11 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 both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission, 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 or other electronically transmitted signature page were an original thereof.
6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor 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 Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
6.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the parties hereto will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The Company therefore agrees that the Investors shall be entitled to specific performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or any other type of security.
6.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

6.17 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that, to its knowledge, the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with such Investor making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor or counsel or advisor for such other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring such Investor’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Investor confirms that each Investor has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.
6.18 Delivery of Securities. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, unless otherwise directed in writing by the applicable Investor, the Company shall, and shall cause its agents and representatives to, deliver all of such Investor’s Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement (and all securities which are issuable to the Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) to the address for delivery of Securities set forth on such Investor’s signature page to this Agreement, and copies of the certificates representing such securities shall be sent to such Investor to the address of such Investor as set forth on such Investor’s signature page to this Agreement.
6.19 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
