Article IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) Legends. Certificates evidencing the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(b):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY, IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(b) Removal of Legends. Promptly, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days, following a request by Purchaser, the legend set forth in Section 4.1(a) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Securities upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder (if such Securities are DTC eligible) by electronic delivery at the applicable account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) designated by such holder, if (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act or (ii) such Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company). Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by such Purchaser. Nothing herein shall limit Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Securities without legends as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the Securities submitted for legend removal for which such conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the type and number of Securities that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements hereunder. If the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser (or its transferee) the applicable certificate or certificates without any legend or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable account at the DTC within such two (2) Business Day period, and if after such date Purchaser is required to or otherwise purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise), Securities to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Purchaser of Securities which Purchaser was entitled to receive without a legend (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to Purchaser (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by Purchaser) the amount by which (x) Purchaser’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Securities so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Securities at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) reissue (if surrendered) the type and number of Securities equal to the type and number of Securities submitted for legend removal. For example, if Purchaser purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay Purchaser $1,000. Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice, within three (3) trading days after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to Purchaser in respect of such Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Securities without legends as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the Securities submitted for legend removal for which such conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the type and number of Securities that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements hereunder.

4.3 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Shares hereunder to fund the its acquisition of certain assets of Cancer Genetics, Inc. as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, to pay related transaction expenses and to fund the Company’s ongoing operational needs.

4.6 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance from and after the Initial Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares and the number of Series A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Shares, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation.
