Based on the information such Purchaser has deemed appropriate, and without reliance upon any Placement Agent, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into the Transaction Documents. Such Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of 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.

(c)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. Such Purchaser 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 Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell 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.

(d)Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that its purchase of the Securities and participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (i) have been duly

authorized and approved by all necessary action and (ii) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under such Purchaser’s charter, by-laws or other constituent document by which such Purchaser is bound.

(e)The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party have been duly authorized and each has been duly executed and when delivered will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(f)Purchaser is not a broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act (a “registered broker-dealer”) and is not affiliated with a registered broker dealer. Purchaser is not party to any agreement for distribution of any of the Securities.

(g)Purchaser shall have completed or caused to be completed and delivered to the Company at no later than the Closing Date, the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the answers to the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that the Purchasers shall be entitled to update such information by providing notice thereof to the Company before the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(h)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 Exchange Act.

(i)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.

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

(k)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.

5.2 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 all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock) (“Short Sales”), of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser discussed with the Company the transactions contemplated hereby and ending immediately prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a 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 Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has 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.

5.3 Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

5.4 Legends.

(a) Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the book entry notations evidencing the Shares and the Underlying Shares may bear one or more legends in substantially the following form and substance:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

It is understood that the Warrants may bear one or more legends in substantially the following form and substance:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

(b) The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than five business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company, or the Company’s transfer agent, of a certificate representing Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, bearing a restrictive legend, together with such representations and covenants of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s executing broker as the Company may reasonably require in connection therewith, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a book entry position representing such shares or, at the Purchaser’s request, a certificate that is free from any legend referring to the Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have the same foregoing requirement and obligations in the event the Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, are initially issued in book entry form with “stop transfer” or similar restricting instructions. The Company shall not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company. All costs and expenses related to the removal of the legends and the reissuance of any Securities shall be borne by the Company.

(c) The restrictive legend set forth in this section above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate or book entry position without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery with the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or in physical certificated shares, if appropriate, if (i) such Shares and Underlying Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if the Purchase is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Securities for resale, the Purchaser agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and such Purchaser is not aware or has not been notified by the Company that such registration statement has been withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement); (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company); or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Subject to receipt of such representations, and covenants as are contemplated hereby, following the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Registration Statement or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of the Shares and

Underlying Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to the Shares and Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall issue to the Company’s transfer agent the instructions with respect to legend removal consistent with this Section. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, the Company’s counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.

5.5 Restricted Securities. 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.

SECTION 6.CONDITIONS TO COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS AT THE CLOSING.

The Company’s obligation to complete the sale and issuance of the Securities and deliver Securities to each Purchaser, individually, as set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers at the Closing shall be subject to the following conditions to the extent not waived by the Company:

6.1 Receipt of Payment. The Company shall have received payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the full amount of the purchase price for the number of Securities being purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing as set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers.

6.2 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Purchasers in Section 5 hereof 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 Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and covenants herein required to be performed by them on or prior to the Closing Date.

6.3 Receipt of Executed Documents. Such Purchaser shall have executed and delivered to the Company the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire.

SECTION 7.CONDITIONS TO PURCHASERS’ OBLIGATIONS AT THE CLOSING.

Each Purchaser’s obligation to accept delivery of the Securities and to pay for the Securities shall be subject to the following conditions to the extent not waived by such Purchaser:

7.1 Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 4 hereof shall be true and correct as of, and as if made on, the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date. The Company shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and covenants herein required to be performed by it on or prior to the Closing Date.

7.2 Receipt of Executed Registration Rights Agreement and Warrants. The Company shall have executed and delivered to the Purchasers the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants.

7.3 Judgments. No judgment, writ, order, injunction, award or decree of or by any court, or judge, justice or magistrate, including any bankruptcy court or judge, or any order of or by any governmental authority, shall have been issued, and no action or proceeding shall have been instituted by any governmental authority, enjoining or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.4 Stop Orders. No stop order or suspension of trading shall have been imposed by the NASDAQ Capital Market, the SEC or any other governmental regulatory body with respect to public trading in the Common Stock.

SECTION 8.TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS TO EFFECT CLOSING; EFFECTS.

8.1 The obligations of the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, to effect the Closing shall terminate as follows:

(a)upon the mutual written consent of the Company and Purchasers that agreed to purchase a majority of the Securities to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement;

(b)by the Company if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Company; or

(c)by a Purchaser (with respect to itself only) if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Purchaser;

provided, however, that, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, the party seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing shall not then be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents if such breach has resulted in the circumstances giving rise to such party’s seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing.

8.2 Nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

SECTION 9.BROKER'S FEES.

The Company and each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) hereby represent that there are no brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Securities.

SECTION 10.INDEMNIFICATION.

10.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers, each of their respective directors, members, officers, employees, representatives, agents and advisors and each Person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) the failure of such Indemnified Party to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6 above respecting sale of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares), or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Indemnified Party herein.

10.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors or each of its controlling Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure by such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 7 above respecting the sale of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) unless such failure by such Purchaser is directly caused by the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to such Purchaser or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Purchaser herein, in each case only to the extent of its investment made herein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, and each of its controlling Persons for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred, as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, and each of its controlling Persons in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. No Purchaser shall be liable for the indemnification obligations of any other Purchaser.

SECTION 12.MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Waivers and Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, terminated, modified or amended except upon the written consent of the Company and holders of at least a majority of the Shares and the Underlying Shares (assuming the exercise of the then-outstanding Warrants).

12.2 Headings. The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement.

12.3 Severability. In case any provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12.4 Replacement of Shares or Warrants. If the Shares are certificated and any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares or Warrants is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Company’s transfer agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company’s transfer agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the transfer agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the transfer agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares or Warrant. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares or Warrant is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

12.5 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, or are deemed affiliates (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

12.6 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings

concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, District of Manhattan. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, District of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties.

12.8 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

12.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and other documents delivered pursuant hereto, including the exhibit and the Schedule of Exceptions, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

12.10 Payment of Fees and Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchasers shall bear its own expenses and legal fees incurred on its behalf with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that the Company agrees to reimburse the Purchasers for documented fees and expenses, including expenses of counsel, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby in an amount not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

12.11 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall survive any investigation made by the Company or the Purchasers and the Closing.

12.12 Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the authorized successors and permitted assigns of each party. No party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or designate another person (i) to perform all or part of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) to have all or part of its rights and benefits under this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of the other party, provided, however, that a Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder with respect to any Securities transferred to a “Qualified Holder” pursuant to and in compliance with Section 7(g) of the Registration Rights Agreement, and may designate such Qualified Holder to perform the duties of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to such transferred Securities; provided further that irrespective of such transfer and designation the Purchaser shall remain obligated hereunder with respect to all of such Purchaser’s purchased Securities. In the event of any assignment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee shall specifically assume and be bound by the provisions of the Agreement by executing and agreeing to an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to the other party.

12.13 Material Non-public Information. The Company shall by 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on the fourth business day following the Closing Date, file a Current Report on Form 8-K, copies of each of which shall be provided to the Purchasers for review, disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the SEC. The Company acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any person or entity acting on its behalf has provided the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information, other than the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as may have been provided pursuant to confidentiality agreements with certain of the Purchasers. In the event the Company believes it may have provided any Purchaser material non-public information pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality agreement or otherwise, or if any Purchaser reasonably believes it may be in possession of material, non-public information regarding the Company acquired pursuant to a confidentiality

agreement or otherwise, at such Purchaser’s request, the Company will disclose any such material, non-public information no later than 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on the tenth business day following the Closing Date by way of press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K attaching the press release as an exhibit thereto.

12.14 Warrant Valuations. For so long as the Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall promptly provide each Purchaser a copy of any financial accounting valuation with respect to the Warrants conducted by the Company, if any.
