NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
(b) Any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Agreements.
(c) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Shares represented by the certificate so legended.

6.15 Indemnification.
(a) In consideration of each Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and fulfillment of its, his or her obligations hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each Purchaser’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (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 (including, without limitation, costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought) (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless under this Section 6.15(a) the Indemnitees with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from or arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. Subject to Section 6.15(b), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnitees for the Indemnified Liabilities as such Indemnified Liabilities are incurred. 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.
(b) In connection with the obligation of the Company to indemnify for expenses as set forth in Section 6.15(a) above, the Company shall, upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, reimburse each Indemnitee for all such Indemnified Liabilities as they are incurred by such Indemnitee; provided, however, that if such Indemnified Liabilities are incurred pursuant to a cause of action initiated by an Indemnitee against the Company, between the Company and such Indemnitee, such Indemnified Liabilities shall be reimbursed by the Company upon the final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company has breached a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company herein.
(c) The obligations of the Company in respect of a claim for indemnification or any other claim related to this Agreement shall not include any consequential or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company’s total liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 6.15 or otherwise out of any transaction contemplated herein shall not exceed the amounts actually paid to the Company by such Indemnitee for Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser has made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the purchase of the Shares as set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) no statements, whether written or oral, made by any Purchaser or its representatives on or after the date of this Agreement shall create an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (ii) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by any Purchaser or its representatives and (iii) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by such Purchaser and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. Each Purchaser shall have the right, in it sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance.
