(p) Insurance. To the best knowledge of the Company, 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. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its 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 without a significant increase in cost, except for cost increases being experienced by public companies in similar businesses and risk categories.

(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the best knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any material transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for 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 best 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.

(r) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and 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 accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The financial records of the Company accurately reflect in all material respects the information relating to the business of the Company, the location and collection of its assets, and the nature of all transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the Company. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such disclosures controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within the Company, 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 a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, 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 significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act) or, the best knowledge of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

(s) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of date hereof and as of the Closing Date: (i) the Company’s 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 debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its 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 debt).

(t) 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, and the Company has not taken any action that would cause any Buyer to be liable for any such fees or commissions. The Company agrees that the Buyers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of any Person for fees of the type contemplated by this Section 3(t) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(u) Integration. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Purchased Shares to be integrated with prior offerings of securities by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, nor will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Purchased Shares to be integrated with other offerings.

(v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Principal Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of the Principal Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and no shareholder approval is required for the Company to fulfill its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Common Stock is currently listed on the Principal Market.

(w) Registration Rights. No holder of securities of the Company has any right to cause the registration under the 1933 Act of any securities of the Company as a result of the issuance of the

 

10


Purchased Shares hereunder the failure to effect which right could expose the Company to material liability or any other holder of securities of the Company to any liability or that could impair the Company’s ability to consummate the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares in the manner, and at the times, contemplated hereby, which rights have not been waived by such holder as of the date hereof.

(x) 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 Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Buyers as a result of the Buyers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Purchased Shares and the Buyers’ ownership of the Purchased Shares.

(y) Investment Company. The Company and its Subsidiaries are not, and are not an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(z) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company is in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof, except where such noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(aa) Tax Returns. All tax returns required to be filed by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries have been timely filed, taking into account any extensions of time within which to file such tax returns, and all taxes and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding) including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto due or claimed to be due from such entities have been timely paid, other than those being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, and except where the failure to file such returns or pay such taxes or other assessments would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(bb) Material Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(bb), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has sent or received any communication regarding termination of, or intent not to renew, any of the material contracts or agreements to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party referred to or described in the Prospectus or referred to or described in, or filed as an exhibit to, or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement, and no such termination or non-renewal has been threatened by the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the Company’s best knowledge, any other party to any such contract or agreement.

(cc) Illegal Funds. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s best knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary has made any payment of funds of the Company or any Subsidiary or received or retained any funds in violation of any law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977), which payment, receipt or retention of funds is of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Registration Statement (excluding any exhibits thereto and the Prospectus) and except as set forth on Schedule 3(dd), no Subsidiary is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company.

(ee) Market Manipulation. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s best knowledge, any of their respective directors, officers, affiliates or controlling persons has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed, or which has constituted or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Purchased Shares.

No hazardous or toxic substances or wastes have been released by the Company at any real property now or previously owned or leased by the Company which could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company, taken together with SEC Reports, are true and correct, in all material respects, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

If required, the Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such actions as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Purchased Shares for sale to the Buyers 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 Buyers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

 

12


(c) Reporting Status. The Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination until the date (the “Reporting Period”) on which each Buyer shall no longer be the holder of record, or the beneficial owner reflected on listing of non-objecting beneficial owners, commonly referred to as the “NOBO list,” reasonably available to the Company, in either case, of fewer than 25% of the Purchased Shares purchased by such Buyer under this Agreement.

(d) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Purchased Shares 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, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all outstanding shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for listing on the Principal Market for so long as the Common Stock is so listed. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(d).

(e) Fees. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any fees or commissions payable to the agent in connection with the Purchased Shares. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the Purchased Shares to the Buyers.

(f) Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information. The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K reasonably acceptable to the Buyers disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby in the form required by the 1934 Act, and attaching the form of this Agreement as an exhibit to such filing (including all attachments, the “8-K Filing”). Except with respect to any Buyer a representative of which is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or any other Buyer affiliated with such Buyer, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide any Buyer with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the press release referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4(f) without the express written consent of such Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press

 

13


release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations, including the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market (provided that in the case of clause (i) Essex Woodlands Health Ventures VII, L.P.

On or prior to the 30th day after the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a certificate evidencing the incorporation and good standing of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in the applicable jurisdiction of incorporation issued by the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth or Delaware Department of State, as applicable.

5. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MATTERS.

(a) Provided the aggregate Purchase Price for the Purchased Shares purchased by the Lead Buyer hereunder is at least $25 million, the Lead Buyer shall have the right to designate, at Closing, one individual to be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors, in accordance with the Nominating Committee’s charter and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Principal Market, for nomination and election to the Company’s Board of Directors promptly following the Closing (the “Board Designation Right”). In the event such individual is no longer employed by or in a business relationship or affiliation with the Lead Buyer or takes another position within the Lead Buyer’s organization which makes his or her continuing representation of the Lead Buyer on the Company’s Board of Directors undesirable in the view of the Lead Buyer, or if an individual so designated by the Lead Buyer pursuant to the Board Designation Right is not elected to the Company’s Board of Directors, then the Lead Buyer shall be permitted to designate another individual to be so nominated and elected. The individual designated by the Lead Buyer for election to the Company’s Board of Directors shall be considered by the Nominating Committee, in accordance with its charter and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Principal Market, for nomination and re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and thereafter until otherwise decided by the Lead Buyer. If the Lead Buyer determines not to exercise the Board Designation Right, then for 30 days following the next occurring vacancy on the Board of Directors, the Lead Buyer shall have the right to designate one individual to be considered by the Nominating Committee for election to the Company’s Board of Directors on the terms described above.

(b) The Board Designation Right shall terminate, expire and be of no further force or effect on and after the first date on which the Lead Buyer and its affiliates shall cease to hold, in the aggregate, a majority of the Purchased Shares originally sold to and purchased by the Lead Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

 

14

15

In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to any Buyer on the Closing Date due to the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 6 or 7 (and the non-breaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition), then the non-breaching party or parties shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date by notice to such other party without liability of any party to any other party.

 

16


9. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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 HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which 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; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part, or affect the interpretation, of this Agreement.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the

 

17


Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of Purchased Shares representing at least a majority of the aggregate number of the Purchased Shares, or, if prior to the Closing Date, the Buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers as being obligated to purchase at least a majority of the aggregate number of Purchased Shares. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Purchased Shares then outstanding. 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 also is offered to all of parties to the Transaction Documents. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreement with any Buyer relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one business day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of Purchased Shares representing at least a majority of the aggregate number of the Purchased Shares.

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

(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the respective Buyers contained in Sections 3 and 2, respectively, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing for a period of two years thereafter. No Buyer shall be responsible for any representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder of any other Buyer.

(j) 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 consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Indemnification.

(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Purchased Shares thereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and its shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and its 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) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from the

 

19


execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to an actual conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding (it being understood that, in the event that a claim involves more than one Indemnitee, the indemnifying party’s obligations to pay the fees and expenses of one counsel shall extend only to one Indemnitee). Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Buyers holding at least a majority of the Purchased Shares. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liabilities by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee that relates to such action or Indemnified Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

 

20


(iv) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(m) Remedies. Each Buyer shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted by the Company at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any applicable law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

(n) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or 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.

(o) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer 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 Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
