i. Independent Nature of the Stockholder’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Stockholder under the Exchange Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Stockholder of Preferred Stock (each, an “Other Stockholder”) under any other agreement to acquire Preferred Stock (each, an “Other Agreement”), and the Stockholder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Stockholders under any Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Stockholder pursuant hereto or any Other Stockholder pursuant to any Other Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute the Stockholder or any Other Stockholder as, and the Company acknowledges that the Stockholder and the Other Stockholders do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Stockholder and any Other Stockholder are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents, any other agreement or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Stockholder and the Other Stockholders are not acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents and any Other Agreement. The decision of the Stockholder to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Exchange Documents has been made by the Stockholder independently of any Other Stockholder. The Stockholder acknowledges that no Other Stockholder has acted as agent for the Stockholder in connection with the Stockholder making its acquisition hereunder and that no Other Stockholder will be acting as agent of the Stockholder in connection with monitoring the Stockholder’s Securities or enforcing its rights under the Exchange Documents. The Company and the Stockholder confirm that the Stockholder has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Stockholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any of the Other Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Stockholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. To the extent that any of the Other Stockholders and the Company enter into the same or similar documents, all such matters are solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of the Stockholder, and would be solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Stockholder or any Other Stockholder. For clarification purposes only and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents include only the transaction between the Company and the Stockholder and do not include any other transaction between the Company and any Other Stockholder.
