Except as contemplated in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, nor the offering or sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement, gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, and there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company is obligated to register the sale of any of its securities under the Securities Act.

4.6          Governmental Consents.

4.7          No Default or Consents.

4.8           No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default or violation (and no event has occurred that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of any Permit to which it is a party, except where such default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their current of former directors, officers, shareholders, managers, agents or consultants acting on their behalf, has, directly or indirectly, made any contribution or paid or delivered, or committed itself to pay or deliver, any bribe, payoff, influence payment or kickback, whether in money, property or services, to any Person that in any manner is related to the business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The buildings, plants, facilities, installations, fixtures and other structures or improvements themselves included as part of, or located on or at, the Leased Real Property and the Company and its Subsidiaries’ activities at the Leased Real Property, are not in violation of, or in conflict with, any applicable zoning regulations or ordinances, except where such violation or conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All the Real Property Leases are in full force and effect, and are valid and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or equitable principles generally, including any specific performance. There exist no defaults on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Real Property Lease, nor any state of facts which, upon notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default under any Real Property Lease, and that, in any case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.23        Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage in an amount deemed prudent by the Company. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

4.24        Intellectual Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, (i) all patents and applications therefor, including continuations, divisionals, continuations-in-part, re-examinations, utility models, renewals, certificate(s) of invention or reissues of patent applications and patents issuing thereon, (ii) all trademarks, service marks, trade names, service names, brand names, trade dress rights, logos, Internet domain names and corporate names, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all applications, registrations and renewals thereof, (iii) copyrights and registrations and applications therefor, works of authorship and mask work rights, (iv) all computer software (including source code, executable code, data, databases and documentation) and (v) trade secrets, know-how, xxxx works, information and other proprietary rights and processes, similar or other intellectual property rights, subject matter of any of the foregoing, tangible embodiments of any of the foregoing and licenses in, to and under any of the foregoing, as described in the SEC Reports as reasonably necessary or required for use in connection with their business and which the failure to so have would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (clauses (i) through (v), collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). To the knowledge of the Company, the conduct of the Company and its Subsidiaries’ business as it is currently conducted does not infringe or misappropriate the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, claims by any third party that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has infringed, violated or misappropriated the Intellectual Property Rights of such third party. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no continuing infringement, violation or misappropriation by any third party of any Intellectual Property Rights owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.25       Brokers. Except for Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Company, L.L.C. (the “Placement Agent”), neither the Company nor any of the Company’s officers, directors, employees or agents has used any broker, finder, placement agent or financial advisor or incurred any liability for any brokers’, finders’ or similar fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.26       Data Privacy. In connection with its collection, storage, transfer (including, without limitation, any transfer across national borders) and/or use of any personally identifiable information from any individuals, including, without limitation, any customers, prospective customers, employees and/or other third parties (collectively, “Personal Information”), the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been, in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws in all relevant jurisdictions, the Company’s privacy policies and the requirements of any contract or codes of conduct to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. The Company and its Subsidiaries have commercially reasonable physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures and policies in place to protect all Personal Information collected by them or on their behalf from and against unauthorized access, use and/or disclosure. To the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries maintains or transmits protected health information, as defined under 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, including all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been in compliance in all material respects with all Laws relating to data loss, theft and breach of security notification obligations.

4.27        Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not now and has never been a “United States real property holding corporation” as defined in the Code and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company has filed with the Internal Revenue Service all statements, if any, with its federal income tax returns which are required under such regulations.

4.28        [Reserved].

4.29        No Integration. The Company has not, directly or through any agent, issued, sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that is, will be or would be integrated with the issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Securities Act, the rules and regulations thereunder or the interpretations thereof by the SEC.

5.4          No Default or Consents. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents by such Purchaser nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby will result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation by which such Purchaser is bound will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of such Purchaser pursuant to, (a) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constituent document of such Purchaser, each as currently in effect, (b) the terms of any indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or (c) any Law of any Governmental Entity that is applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, for any conflict, breach or violation of, or imposition that would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.5          Securities Act Representations.

(a)                 Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, an Institutional Account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) and a sophisticated institutional investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including such Purchaser’s participation in the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it can bear the substantial economic risks, including but not limited to the complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters generally that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby. Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to the Company and its Subsidiaries requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review the Company’s publicly available information and other information provided to it. Based on the information such Purchaser has reviewed or received and deemed appropriate, and without reliance upon the Placement Agent or any agents, counsel or affiliates of the Placement Agent, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in the Agreement, such Purchaser is relying exclusively on their own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice such Purchaser deems appropriate) with respect to the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, the Securities and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters. Such Purchaser has also determined based on their own independent review and such professional advice they deem appropriate that the purchase of the Securities and participation in the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents (i) are fully consistent with such Purchaser’s financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to such Purchaser, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, and (iv) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for such Purchaser, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Securities.

(b)                 The Securities to be received by such Purchaser hereunder will be acquired for such Purchaser’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 the Securities Act, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities purchased hereunder except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(c)                 Such Purchaser has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act.

(d)                 Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

(e)                 Such Purchaser’s residence (if an individual) or offices in which its investment decision with respect to the Securities was made (if an entity) are located at the address immediately below such Purchaser’s name on its signature page hereto.

(f)                  Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). Purchaser agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Purchaser is permitted to do so under applicable law. Purchaser represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Purchaser also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. Purchaser further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Purchaser and used to purchase the Securities were legally derived.

(g)                 Purchaser has, and at the Closing will have, sufficient funds to pay the purchase price pursuant to Section 2.1.

(h)                 All of the information contained in the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire completed and delivered by such Purchaser shall be true and correct as of the date that such questionnaires are completed and delivered, the Closing Date, and the filing date and effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement); provided that such Purchaser may update the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire by providing written notice thereof to the Company before the filing date and the effective date of such Registration Statement.

5.6          Brokers. Neither such Purchaser or any of such Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees or agents has used any broker, finder, placement agent or financial advisor or incurred any liability for any brokers’, finders’ or similar fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.7          Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the 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 Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

5.8          Placement Agent. Such Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Securities, and that (a) the Placement Agent is acting solely as placement agent in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and is not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary or other advisor for such Purchaser, the Company or any other person or entity in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, (b) the Placement Agent has not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and has not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, (c) the Placement Agent will not have any responsibility with respect to (i) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) thereof, or (ii) the business, affairs, financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning the Company, and (d) except in the case of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, the Placement Agent will have no liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by such Purchaser, the Company or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to such Purchaser, or to any person claiming through such Purchaser in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

5.9          Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior to the Date Hereof. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company, the Placement Agent or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and ending immediately prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. Such Purchaser, its affiliates and, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, authorized representatives and advisors of such Purchaser who are aware of the transactions contemplated hereby, maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future. “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the 1934 Act (but shall not be deemed to include the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock).

5.10        No Intent to Effect a Change of Control; Ownership. Such Purchaser has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and under the rules of Nasdaq. Except as set forth in its Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, as of the date hereof, neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates is the owner of record or the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.
