4.2           No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents or (b) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Purchaser is subject (assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties and compliance by the Company with its respective covenants as set forth in this Agreement) or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser is bound or affected; except in the case of clause (b), such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a material adverse effect on the Purchaser.

4.3           Absence of Litigation.  There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against or affecting the Purchaser, any of the Purchaser’s officers or directors in their capacities as such and any of the Purchaser’s properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) which adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents.

4.4           The Purchaser’s Status.  At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act. The Purchaser is not a broker-dealer, or required to be registered as a broker-dealer, under Section 15 of the 1934 Act.

4.5           Experience of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment, and the Purchaser has had available such information with respect to the Company as the Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to make such evaluation and an informed investment decision with respect thereto.  The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

4.6           General Solicitation.  The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

4.7           No Public Sale or Distribution; Investment Intent.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares in the ordinary course of business for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, and the Purchaser does not have a present intention nor a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Shares to or through any Person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Purchaser is not agreeing to hold any of the Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

5.             COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.

5.1           Transfer Restrictions.

(a)           Until such time as the resale of the Shares may be registered under the 1933 Act or such time as the Shares may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable, each certificate or other document evidencing any of the Shares shall be endorsed with the legend set forth below, and the Purchaser covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, the Purchaser shall not transfer the Shares represented by any such certificate (other than to its Affiliates) without complying with the restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed on such certificate:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS. THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b)           Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5.1(a) or any other legend if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). Following such time as a legend is no longer required for the Shares, the Company will, no later than ten Business Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company of a legended certificate representing the Shares, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

5.2           Listing of Shares.  The Company shall (a) in the time and manner required by the Trading Market, prepare and file with the Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares issued or issuable under the Transaction Documents, (b) take all steps necessary to cause such Shares to be approved for listing on the Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (c) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (d) maintain the listing of such Shares on the Trading Market.

5.3           Reports and Filing.  Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall fully cooperate with the Purchaser in preparing, drafting and filing the reports the Purchaser must file with the relevant government authorities, agencies, offices and other institutions in connection with the acquisition of foreign securities by the Purchaser; provided that the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with the preparation and filing of such reports.  The Purchaser shall fully cooperate with the Company in preparing, drafting and filing any reports and documents pursuant to the relevant securities laws and regulations; provided that the Company shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with the preparation and filing of such reports and documents.

5.4           General Indemnity.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its directors, officers, Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from an against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchaser as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchaser herein.

5.5           Compliance with Laws.  So long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Shares, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and decrees of all governmental authorities, except to the extent non­compliance (in one instance or in the aggregate) would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6           Registration Rights.  The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to the Purchaser:

(a)           Subject to the limitation in Section 5.6(e), if at any time after the Initial Closing the Company proposes to register any of its shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of others (except with respect to registration statements on Form S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Shares for sale, but expressly including registration statements on Form S-3), the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the Purchaser. If within 20 days after receipt of such notice, the Purchaser requests the inclusion of some or all of the Shares owned by it in such registration (the “Registrable Securities”), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of the offer and sale of all such Registrable Securities.  In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or Section 5.6(d), below, the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 5.6 without thereby incurring any liability to the Purchaser due to such withdrawal or delay.

(b)           If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 5.6(a) to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(i)           subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement required by Section 5.6(a), with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and SEC letters of comment and notify the Purchaser within one Business Day of (A) notice that the SEC has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (B) the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement;

(ii)           furnish to the Purchaser, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement;

(iii)           use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser shall request in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject;

(iv)           if applicable, list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with principal Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed;

(v)           promptly notify the Purchaser when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and

(vi)           provided same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Purchaser, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser or underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.

(c)           In connection with each registration described in this Section 5.6, the Purchaser will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

(d)           The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Purchaser has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.  The Company shall pay all expenses necessary to comply with this Section 5.6, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of insurance and fees of one counsel for the Purchaser.  The Company shall pay all indemnities, discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes (if any) applicable to the sale of the Shares by the Purchaser, including fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Purchaser.

(e)           Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise its registration rights pursuant to this Section 5.6 until either (i) the Second Closing has been consummated or (ii) the Purchaser has irrevocably notified the Company that it does not intend to proceed to the Second Closing as provided in Section 2.2(b).

5.7           Amendments to R&D Budget.  In the event of any agreed upon amendment to the R&D Budget or the Updated R&D Budget (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the RELO Agreement) pursuant to which the payment or expenditure of any additional amounts not otherwise provided for hereunder or under the RELO Agreement is required, then in such case any such amounts shall be paid or expended by Purchaser, in exchange for which the Company shall issue to the Purchaser such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be equal in value (calculated based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the primary Trading Market, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the last trading day preceding the date of the amounts paid or expended by the Purchaser (or if the Common Stock is not then trading on an Eligible Market, the price per share of the Common Stock shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable determination, subject to the agreement of the Purchaser in it sole and absolute discretion)) to any such amounts actually paid or expended by Purchaser hereunder; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue any Common Stock to the Purchaser if such issuance would result in the Purchaser then holding greater than 7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in the aggregate; and provided further, that it shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.7 that the NYSE Amex shall have approved such additional shares for listing on the NYSE Amex.
