Section 3.7 Authority and Enforceability. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part and, when duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto in accordance with their terms, each of the Transaction Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, no approval by the Common Stockholders is required as a result of the Company’s issuance and sale of the Purchased Common Stock.

Section 3.8 Approvals.

The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Purchased Common Stock will not be, an “investment company,” an “affiliated person” of, “promoter” for or “principal underwriter” for, or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in this Agreement, the sale and issuance of the Purchased Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 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 Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Purchased Common Stock as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Purchased Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable Law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions.

Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents, the Company and its 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 GAAP 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. Except as set forth in or contemplated by the Company SEC Documents, the Company and its Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and its Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. 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 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 significant changes in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s Knowledge, in other factors that would be reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting. The Company maintains a standard system of accounting established and administered in conformity with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

Section 3.14 Registration Rights.

Section 3.15 Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as the Company believes to be prudent for its businesses. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of cancellation of any such insurance.

Section 3.16 Transactions with Affiliates.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate in all material respects, and there are no material unpaid assessments against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any basis for the assessment of any additional taxes, penalties or interest for any fiscal period or audits by any federal, state or local taxing authority except for any assessment which has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect taken as a whole. Except as would be not be material, all taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper Governmental Authority or third party when due. There are no tax liens or claims pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or Properties. Except as described in the Company SEC Documents, there are no outstanding tax sharing agreements or other such arrangements between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or other corporation or entity. To the Company’s Knowledge, (i) no limitations under Section 382 or 383 of the Code or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-15 or- 21 apply to the use of the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ net operating loss carryforwards, unrealized built-in losses, tax credits, capital loss carryforwards or other tax attributes for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time of the Closing and (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as if such transactions had occurred immediately after the Closing Date) will not cause an “ownership change” (as defined by Section 382(g) of the Code).

Section 3.18 Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting or has acted as an advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of its respective Representatives in connection with the Transaction Documents is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of Purchased Common Stock.

Section 3.20 No Manipulation of Stock. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor to the Company’s Knowledge, any of their respective officers, directors, or employees has taken, in violation of applicable Law, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to, directly or indirectly, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Purchased Common Stock.

Section 4.4 Certain Fees. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission payable by such Purchaser with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Common Stock or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Section 4.5 Unregistered Securities.

(a) Accredited Investor Status; Sophisticated Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and/or (8) under the Securities Act and is able to bear the risk of its investment in the Purchased Common Stock. Such Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchased Common Stock, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of the Purchased Common Stock.

(b) Information. Such Purchaser or its Representatives have been given access to and an opportunity to examine such documents, materials and information concerning the Company and the TSO Acquisition as such Purchaser deems to be necessary or advisable in order to reach an informed decision as to an investment in the Company, to the extent that the Company possesses such information, has carefully reviewed and understands these materials and has had answered to such Purchaser’s full satisfaction any and all questions regarding such information. Such Purchaser or its Representatives made such independent investigation of the Company, its management, and related matters as such Purchaser deems to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Purchased Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic and financial risk of the Purchased Common Stock. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted at any time by such Purchaser or its Representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right (i) to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III above or (ii) to indemnification or any other remedy based on, or with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in any Transaction Document.

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.”

(d) Purchase Representation. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Common Stock for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any securities Laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the Purchased Common Stock for any period of time.

Such Purchaser has been advised and understands and acknowledges that the Purchased Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” Laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act).

(e) No General Solicitation. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other Person offered to sell the Purchased Common Stock to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(f) Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Purchased Common Stock is being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth in this Agreement (i) in concluding that the offer and sale of the Purchased Common Stock is a “private offering” and, as such, is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) to determine the applicability of such exemptions in evaluating the suitability of such Purchaser to purchase the Purchased Common Stock.

Section 4.6 No Side Agreements. Except for the confidentiality agreements entered into by and between such Purchaser and the Company and as set forth in the Company SEC Documents, there are no other agreements by, among or between such Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Transaction Documents), and there are no promises or inducements for future transactions by, among or between such Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and each Purchaser will, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all consents of Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchasers or the Company, as the case may be, advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, that it will not engage in any Short Sales that result in the disposition of the Common Stock acquired hereunder by the Purchaser until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Agreement and (ii) such time as the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared or deemed effective by the Commission.

Section 5.10 Subsequent Equity Sales.

(a) From the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, without the consent of the Required Purchasers, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.10(a) shall not apply to (i) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities of the Company or a Subsidiary outstanding on the Closing Date, provided that the terms of such security are not amended (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) after the Closing Date to decrease the exercise price or increase the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents receivable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof or (ii) the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to the 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan.

(b) The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, 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 will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Purchased Common Stock in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Purchased Common Stock to the Purchasers, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Purchased Common Stock for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

Section 5.11 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. 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 provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class 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 Purchased Common Stock or otherwise.

Section 5.12 Form D; Blue Sky. After the Closing, the Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Purchased Common Stock as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers (provided that the posting of the Form D on the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed delivery of the Form D for purposes of this Agreement). The Company, on or before the Closing, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary, if any, in order to qualify the Purchased Common Stock for sale to the Purchasers 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 such actions to the Purchasers.

Section 5.13 Pledges. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the Purchased Common Stock in connection with applicable securities Laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge 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 shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge, but any Purchaser’s transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer or foreclosure. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Purchased Common Stock or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between such Purchaser and its pledgee or secured party. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Purchased Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Purchased Common Stock, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement to any registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

Section 5.14 Pre-Closing Covenants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, 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.

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

Section 7.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchasers, their Affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, members, stockholders and partners (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Purchaser Indemnitee may become subject to the extent resulting from, due to or based upon Purchasers having entered into this Agreement or agreeing to purchase securities of the Company under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory Law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any inaccuracy in, breach of or failure to comply with, any representation, warranty, or covenant made by the Company in this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its Affiliates, any of its or their Affiliates, and any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, members, stockholders and partners (each, a “Company Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any Company Indemnitee may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any inaccuracy in, breach of or failure to comply with, any representation, warranty, or covenant made to the Company in this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Purchaser; provided that the liability of each Purchaser shall be in proportion to, and shall be limited to, such Purchaser’s Commitment Amount.

Section 7.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

(a) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person or relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above unless and only to the extent that failure to give such notice materially prejudices the indemnifying party; and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and any indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim at the expense of such indemnified person, unless (x) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (y) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party when permitted hereunder, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and to settle and agree to pay in full such claim without the consent of the indemnifying party without prejudice to the ability of the indemnified party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the indemnifying party hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the preceding paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim (i) unless (A) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party and (B) such settlement or compromise does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party or (ii) if such settlement or compromise provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief, in each case, unless the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.
