The Securities to be received by the Investor hereunder will be acquired for the Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of applicable securities laws. The Investor is not a registered broker dealer or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer.

Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Investor shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
5.6 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.
5.7 Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing such Securities may bear the following or any similar legend:

When the Company is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace previously issued legended certificates, if unlegended certificates are not delivered to an Investor within five (5) Business Days of submission by that Investor of legended certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent together with a representation letter in customary form, the Company shall be liable to the Investor for liquid damages in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities evidenced by such certificate(s) for each thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) beyond such five (5) Business Day that the unlegended certificates have not been so delivered.

5.11 Prohibited Transactions. During the last thirty (30) days prior to the date hereof, no Investor has, directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the 0000 Xxx) with respect to the Common Stock, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the Common Stock or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Securities (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”). Prior to the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) the Closing Date, no Investor shall engage, directly or indirectly, in a Prohibited Transaction. Each Investor acknowledges that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.11 are being made for the benefit of the Investors as well as the Company and that each of the other Investors shall have an independent the right to assert any claims against any Investor arising out of any breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 5.11.

(a) The representations and warranties made by the Investors in Section 5 hereof, other than the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 (the “Investment Representations”), shall be true and correct in all material respects when made, and shall be true and correct in all material respects on the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date. The Investment Representations shall be true and correct in all respects when made, and shall be true and correct in all respects on the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date.

7. Covenants and Agreements of the Company.

From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time equal the number of shares sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.
7.2 Reports. The Company will furnish to such Investors and/or their assignees such information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as from time to time may reasonably be requested by such Investors and/or their assignees; provided, however, that the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.
-17-
7.3 No Conflicting Agreements. The Company will not take any action, enter into any agreement or make any commitment that would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the obligations to the Investors under the Transaction Documents.

The provisions of Sections 7.2 through 7.5 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of (i) the mutual consent of the Company and the Required Investors or (ii) the date on which the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement to register or maintain the effectiveness of any registration covering the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall terminate.
7.8 [Reserved]
7.9 [Reserved]
8. Survival and Indemnification.
8.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as of the date hereof and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of eighteen months from the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions contained in Section 7 hereof shall survive in accordance therewith.
8.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on an after-tax and after insurance recovery basis, each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement hereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.
-18-
8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
