The Company has delivered to the Investor a true and complete copy of each form of warrant and each form of award agreement pertaining to each equity award outstanding under the Incentive Plan, and has also delivered any other warrant agreements or award agreements to the extent there are variations from the general forms, specifically identifying the Persons to whom such variant forms apply.

No current or past holder of any capital stock, equity interest or other direct or indirect ownership interest of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (x) has (or has ever had) a “controlling interest” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) in the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or (y) would otherwise be (or would have otherwise been) treated as a “single employer” with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001 of ERISA.

(v)No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The issuance of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Investor) and, taking into account the Waiver Agreements, will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. Other than the Stockholder Approval, no further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or other Person is required for the issuance of the Securities.

The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and the Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or would reasonably be likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

(w)Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Investor shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(w) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(x)Registration Rights. Other than the Investor and except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(x), no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(y)Exchange Act Registration Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such registration requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

(z)Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary actions to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s articles of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation (including Nevada Revised Statutes 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive, and 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive) that is or could become applicable to the Investor, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including in connection with the Investor and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including in connection with the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Investor’s ownership of the Securities, exercise of the Warrants and ability to vote all shares of Common Stock owned by it or its Affiliates as of or at any time following the Closing.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for

reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments, other than the Indebtedness to be incurred pursuant to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement.

(ff)U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not and has never been a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and the Company shall so certify on or before the Closing.

(gg)Money Laundering. The operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity involving the Company and any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(hh)Employee Benefits.

(v)Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any obligation to provide, and no Company Plan or other agreement provides any individual with the right to, a gross up, indemnification, reimbursement or other payment for any excise or additional taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code or due to the failure of any payment to be deductible under of Section 280G of the Code.

unless (1) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi‑criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (2) the Investor Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Investor Party's reputation or future business prospects, or (3) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Investor Party. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, (iii) upon petition by the Investor Party, an appropriate court rules that the Company failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim, or (iv) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement (x) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (y) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or intentional fraud. The indemnification required by this Section 4.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall in no event be affected by any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of an Investor Party, or the knowledge of any Investor Party’s officers, directors, stockholders, employees or agents or the acceptance by any party of any certificate or opinion hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Investor Party against the Company or others and any liabilities to which the Company may be subject pursuant to Law or equity.

Section 4.12Acquisition Proposals

(a)No Solicitation. Except as expressly permitted by Section 4.12(b), the Company agrees that neither it nor any of the Subsidiaries nor any of its or their respective officers or directors shall, and that it shall instruct and use its best efforts to cause the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding any Acquisition Proposal;

(iii)provide any non-public information or data concerning the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal;

(iv)enter into any agreement or agreement in principle with any Person concerning any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.12(b) entered into in compliance with Section 4.12(b)) (each, an “Alternative Agreement”);

(v)grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement concerning an Acquisition Proposal; or

(vi)otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

(b)Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.12(a), the Company may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received on or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, (i) provide information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in response to a request therefor by the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal, provided that such information has previously been made available to the Investor or is made available to the Investor prior to or concurrently with the time such information is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such material non-public information, the Company receives from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person as the Confidentiality Agreement is on the Investor (provided that any such confidentiality agreement shall expressly permit the Company to provide copies of forms of agreements in respect of such Acquisition Proposal to the Investor and its Representatives as contemplated in Section 4.12(f)), and (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that (A) based on the information then available that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) such action is reasonably believed to be necessary or advisable in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c)Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)“Acquisition Proposal” means (A) any proposal or offer with respect to a financing, merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, spin-off, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of the material Subsidiaries and (B) any acquisition by any Person or group (as defined in or under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) resulting in, or proposal or offer, which if consummated would result in, any Person or group becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions (including any subsequent conversion or exchange of securities issued in such transactions), of (x) 15% or more of the total voting power or of any class of equity securities of the Company or those of any of the Subsidiaries or (y) 15% or more of the consolidated total assets (including, without limitation, equity securities of the Subsidiaries) of the Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(ii)“Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, that the Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel, would result in a transaction that is superior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any revisions to the terms hereof and thereof contemplated by Section 4.12(f)), after taking into account (A) the nature of the Acquisition Proposal, including all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of such proposal, (B) the identity of the Person or group making the proposal as compared to the Investor and the businesses and activities of the Investor (including the potential strategic alignment and synergies of the Investor with the Company), (C) whether such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (after taking into account any revisions to the terms hereof and thereof contemplated by Section 4.12(f)), (D) the time likely to be required to consummate the Acquisition Proposal and the risks associated with consummating the Acquisition Proposal (including the conditionality of, and the terms of any financing required for, such Acquisition Proposal), in each case as compared to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (after taking into account any revisions to the terms hereof and thereof contemplated by Section 4.12(f)), and (E) the effects of the Acquisition Proposal on the Company and its business, strategic direction, employees and customers. For the avoidance of doubt, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (after taking into account any revisions to the terms hereof and thereof contemplated by Section 4.12(f)) contain substantially identical financial and other terms to those in an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal cannot be deemed by the

Board of Directors to be a “Superior Proposal” as compared to the proposal then provided by the Investor.

(d)Notice. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify the Investor orally and in writing if (i) any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Acquisition Proposal from, or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of the applicable Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall (x) keep the Investor informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified and (y) provide to the Investor as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent by or provided to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries from any Person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal.

(e)No Change of Recommendation. Except as expressly permitted by Section 4.12(f), the Board of Directors and each committee of the Board of Directors shall not:

(i)withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to the Investor, the Company Recommendation;

(ii)approve or recommend (or determine to approve or recommend), propose, permit or cause the Company to enter into, or otherwise declare advisable, an Alternative Agreement;

(iii)at any time following receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation as promptly as practicable (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) after receipt of any request to do so from the Investor;

(iv)fail to recommend unequivocally against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer that is publicly disclosed (other than by the Investor or an Affiliate of the Investor) prior to the earlier of (x) the date prior to the date of the Stockholders Meeting and (y) ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act or recommend that the holders of Common Stock tender their shares of Common Stock in such tender offer or exchange offer;

(v)fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement distributed to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the Stockholders Meeting; or

(vi)make any other public statement of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in connection with the Stockholders Meeting that is inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (any action described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 4.12(e) being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”).

(f)Fiduciary Exception to No Change of Recommendation. Notwithstanding Section 4.12(e), the Board of Directors may make a Change of Recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal that is (x) made after the date of this Agreement but on or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement (provided that an Acquisition Proposal made within such period may be modified after such period if the Board of Directors determined in good faith within such period that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal), (y) made in compliance with this Section 4.12 and (z) not otherwise solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that a Change of Recommendation in connection with a Superior Proposal may be made only if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) making a Change of Recommendation is reasonably believed to be necessary or advisable in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) prior to making the Change of Recommendation, the Company provides the Investor with a written notice of its intent to take such action (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) three (3) Business Days in advance of taking such action, such Superior Proposal Notice to comply in form, substance and delivery with the provisions of Section 4.12(d) and Section 6.4. During the three (3) Business Day period following receipt by the Investor of the Superior Proposal Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) and prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation, (x) the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the Investor (to the extent the Investor desires to negotiate) with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents proposed by the Investor in response to a Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Change of Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors shall take into account in good faith any changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents proposed by the Investor and any other information provided by the Investor in response to such notice. Each time the financial or other material terms of any Acquisition Proposal received in compliance with the first sentence of this Section 4.12(f) are amended, the Company shall be required to deliver to the Investor a new Superior Proposal Notice in compliance with the requirements of this Section 4.12(f) (including attaching a copy of the most current version of the new Alternative Agreement relating to such amended Acquisition Proposal and copies of any related documents) and, if requested by the Investor following receipt

of the new Superior Proposal Notice, the Negotiation Period shall be extended by an additional three (3) Business Days thereafter.

(g)Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if such disclosure does not reaffirm the Company Recommendation or has the effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation and the Investor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.1(g).

(h)Existing Discussions. The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Investor and its Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall take the necessary steps to inform the Persons referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4.12(h) of the obligations undertaken in this Section 4.12 and in any confidentiality agreement entered into with any such Persons promptly after announcement of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company also agrees that it will promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an existing Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

Section 4.13Intellectual Property Agreements

. Prior to the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries will use reasonable best efforts to obtain from each employee of the Company and each Subsidiary, as applicable, who contributes or has contributed to the production or development of the Owned Intellectual Property or Programs on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary an executed confidentiality and invention assignment agreement in the form set forth on Schedule 4.13. From and after the Closing and for so long as the Investor holds Securities and/or shares of Common Stock that in the aggregate constitute beneficial ownership of at least 5% of the Common Stock, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall obtain an executed confidentiality and invention assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor from each employee hired by the Company and any of the Subsidiaries.

Section 4.14Waiver Agreements; Other Instruments

. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall (i) not agree to any waiver, modification, supplementation or other amendment to, or the termination of, any Waiver Agreement without the prior written consent of the Investor and (ii) enforce all covenants, obligations and agreements contained in the Waiver Agreements, both proactively and promptly upon the request of the Investor at any time and from time to time. From and after the date hereof and at any time prior to the full exercise by the Investor of the Warrants, the Company shall not agree to or effect any waiver, modification, supplementation or other amendment to any instruments governing the Company’s capital stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any shares of its capital stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the certificate of designations of the Company’s Preferred Stock and the Existing Warrants, as such instruments may be exchanged in connection with the

Closing for the certificate of designations in the forms attached as Annex G and the warrants in the forms attached as Annex H) without the prior written consent of the Investor.

Section 4.15Subsequent Investor Sales

. If at any time and from time to time the Investor requests assistance from the Company to facilitate a sale by the Investor of any shares of Common Stock, the Company shall provide all reasonable assistance to the Investor to facilitate such sale.

Section 4.16Notice of Certain Events

. From the date hereof until the Closing, each of the Company and the Investor shall promptly notify the other party in writing if it has any reason to believe that any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 would be unlikely to be satisfied.

ARTICLE V.
TERMINATION

Section 5.1Termination

. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing, whether before or after the time the Stockholder Approval is obtained:

(a)by mutual written consent of the Company and the Investor;

(b)by either the Company or the Investor if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2016 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(b) shall not be available to the Company if the Company has failed to hold the Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Section 4.5 prior to the Termination Date;

(c)by either the Company or the Investor if a court or other Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction in the United States shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action), in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act both constitutes a breach of this Agreement and has been a principal cause of or resulted in the entry, promulgation or occurrence of such order, decree, ruling or other action;

(d)by the Company, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Investor set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Investor shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 2.3(b)(i) or Section 2.3(b)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have

become untrue; provided that the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(d) prior to thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice by the Investor from the Company of such breach (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) if the Company is in material breach of this Agreement or if such breach by the Investor is cured so that such conditions would then be satisfied);

(e)by the Company, if the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Stockholders Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the Stockholders Meeting taken in accordance with this Agreement, but only if (i) a Change of Recommendation occurred, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 4.12(f), prior to the Stockholders Meeting, (ii) the Company is not in material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement and (iii) the Company pays the Termination Fee to the Investor as provided in Section 5.2(b);

(f)by the Investor, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 2.3(c)(i) or Section 2.3(c)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that the Investor may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(f) prior to thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice by the Company from the Investor of such breach (it being understood that the Investor may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1(f) if the Investor is in material breach of this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured so that such conditions would then be satisfied);

(g)by the Investor, at any time prior to the Company’s obtaining the Stockholder Approval, if the Board of Directors shall have made a Change of Recommendation; or

(h)by the Investor, if the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained by a vote taken at the Stockholders Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the Stockholders Meeting in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 5.2Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination

(a)Any termination of this Agreement under Section 5.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating party to the other party hereto. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except (a) as set forth in this Section 5.2 and Article VI, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

(b)In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 5.1(e), then the Company shall pay the Termination Fee to the Investor simultaneously with such termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Investor pursuant to (i) Section 5.1(g), (ii) Section 5.1(h) or (iii) Section 5.1(b) and, in the case of clause (iii), the Stockholders Meeting shall not have been held by the Termination Date, then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay the Termination Fee to the Investor. The Termination Fee shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c)The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 5.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and that, without these agreements, the Investor would not enter into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amounts due pursuant to Section 5.2(b), as applicable, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Investor commences a suit that results in a non-appealable judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to the Investor its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or a willful and material breach of this Agreement, in the event that the Termination Fee becomes payable and is paid by the Company, the Termination Fee shall be the Investor’s sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Nevada for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (in each case, to the extent a dispute concerning another Transaction Document is not subject to the governing law or exclusive jurisdiction of another jurisdiction pursuant to the terms of such Transaction Document), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

(b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.13Replacement of Securities

. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.

Section 6.15Payment Set Aside

.
