The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Purchaser, or any of them, would otherwise have.

12.12 NASDAQ and Stockholder Approval Matters. The Company covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, any approvals of the Company’s stockholders required under the Company’s Organizational Documents, applicable law and/or the listing rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Following such approval (if obtained via written consent in compliance with the Company’s Organizational Documents and applicable law), the Company covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable, an Information Statement on Schedule 14C describing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall not be entitled to convert any Notes, or exercise any Warrants, into shares of Common Stock, unless and until (a) any required stockholder approvals are obtained and (b) the time period prescribed by Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act has expired. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is obtained by the Company, in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to convert any Notes, or exercise any Warrants, to the extent that any such conversion or exercise would result in Purchaser acquiring in such transactions a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date. Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote any shares of Common Stock acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in connection with any such stockholder approval sought by the Company.
12.13 Anti-Dilution. If, within the two (2)-year period following the issuance of any Note, the Company issues shares of its capital stock in connection with a financing or an acquisition of, or merger or consolidation with, another entity (“New Shares”) at a price that is less than the applicable conversion price or exercise price actually paid by Purchaser for any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares obtained pursuant to such Note (or the Warrant issuable upon conversion of such Note), as applicable (“New Price”), then within ten (10) Business Days of such issuance, Purchaser shall be issued, without payment of any additional consideration, additional shares of Common Stock so that such new shares when combined with the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares issued to Purchaser upon conversion of the applicable Notes and/or exercise of the applicable Warrants would equal the number of shares of Common Stock Purchaser would have received had the applicable conversion price and/or exercise price been the New Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Price may not be less than $0.70 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following shall not be considered “New Shares” for purposes of this Section 12.13 (collectively, the “Excluded Issuances” and each an “Excluded Issuance”):
12.13.1 shares of capital stock issued upon conversion of, or exchange for, any outstanding (a) shares of any preferred stock, (b) options, or (c) securities of the Company convertible into or exercisable for shares of the Company’s, in all cases that are outstanding as of the First Closing Date;
