1.4 Legend.

(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, there shall be imprinted or otherwise placed, on certificates representing the Key Holder Shares and the Investor Shares the following restrictive legend (the “Legend”):

(b) Subject to Section 1.7(a), the Key Holders, Investors and Designated Common Stockholders shall each take all necessary and desirable actions approved by the Requisite Holders in connection with the consummation of such Acquisition or Asset Transfer, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (i) provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, non-compete agreements, escrow agreements and other provisions and agreements relating to such Acquisition or Asset Transfer; provided, however, that pursuant to the terms of such Acquisition or Asset Transfer, the Key Holders, Designated Common Stockholders and Investors shall not be required to give any representations and warranties regarding the operations and conditions (financial and otherwise) of the Company and its business, assets and liabilities (unless such Key Holders, Designated Common Stockholders or Investors are officers of the Company and are giving such representations and warranties solely in such capacity as such officers and not in their capacity as a holder of the Company’s capital stock), and (ii) effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon such Acquisition or Asset Transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 1.8(a) and 1.8(b), no Investor will be required to comply with Section 1.8(a) or 1.8(b) in connection with an Approved Sale unless:

(i) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Stockholder in the Approved Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its Stockholders in connection with such Approved Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Approved Sale;

The proxy and power granted by each Key Holder, Investor, and Designated Common Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.8 are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such party’s duties under this Agreement.

In such event, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, a legal, valid and enforceable substitute provision which most nearly effects, to the extent legally possible, the same economic, business or other purposes of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. A court of competent jurisdiction may replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
