Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, 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 with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Further, nothing herein (including the

13

requirements of Section 5.05 and Section 5.06) shall be deemed to form a group (as defined in Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) as between the Corre related purchasers on the one hand and the Legion related purchasers on the other hand. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 6.02 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01.

(b) Promptly after any Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified

35

Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

Section 6.03 Tax Matters. All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the applicable Purchaser’s Allocated Purchase Price for Tax purposes except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE VII

(c) by written notice from either the Company or a Purchaser, with respect to itself but not any other Purchaser, if Closing does not occur by 11:59 p.m. New York time on December 31, 2019 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) if such party is, at the time of providing such written notice, in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(d) at such time as no Purchased Securities remain outstanding.

36

Section 7.02 Certain Effects of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, this Agreement (other than Article VI and Section 8.01) shall become null and void and have no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of the Company or any Purchaser or any of their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party resulting for a willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination or from fraud; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, the Company shall not have any such liability in excess of the Total Purchase Price and no Purchaser shall have any liability in excess of such Purchaser’s Allocated Purchase Price.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.01 Expenses.

Section 8.04 No Waiver: Modifications in Writing.

(a) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.

(b) Specific Waiver; Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein or as specifically provided otherwise in any other Transaction Document with respect thereto, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of any Transaction Document shall be effective unless signed by (i) before Closing, each of the parties thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination and (ii) after Closing, Purchasers holding a majority of the Purchased Securities then held by the Purchasers; provided that (A) any amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination pursuant to clause (ii) shall not apply with respect to any Purchaser without the written consent of such Purchaser unless such amendment or waiver applies to all Purchasers in the same fashion and (B) no consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents (for clarification purposes, this clause (B) constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of

38

Purchased Securities or otherwise). Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of any Transaction Document, any waiver of any provision of any Transaction Document and any consent to any departure by the Company or any Purchaser from the terms of any provision of any Transaction Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Company or any Purchaser in any case shall entitle the Company or such Purchaser to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any investigation by or on behalf of any party shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

Section 8.05 Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, each of the Purchasers and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Neither this Agreement not any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that a Purchaser may transfer or assign its rights hereunder in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Preferred Stock or the Purchased Warrants, each in accordance with the terms thereof, and subject to Purchaser providing written notice of any such assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is effected and that the transferee agrees to assume all of such Purchaser’s rights and obligations in connection with such transfer and be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Agreement as an original party hereto.

Section 8.06 Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Purchasers without the prior consent of the Company (in the case of a release or announcement by the Purchasers) or the Purchasers (in the case of a release or announcement by the Company) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Company or the Purchasers, as the case may be, shall allow the Purchasers or the Company, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. The parties acknowledge that (i) as of 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the trading day immediately following the date hereof, no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) prior to such time the Company shall issue a press release or file a report on Form 8-K disclosing any material information required to comply with the preceding clause (i), and that, in addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission or NASDAQ with respect to such matters.

Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide any Purchaser with any such material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of the Company Entities from and after the filing of the press release without the express written consent of such Purchaser.
