(ii) As of the close of business on the Capitalization Date, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no Equity Interests of the Company issued and outstanding or subject to issuance except as set forth on Schedule 3(h)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules. Schedule 3(h)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth (x) a list of all stock options granted, awarded or otherwise outstanding as of the Capitalization Date (including, among other things, the name of grantee, number and type of Equity Interests subject to the option, exercise price, xxxxx xxxxx, market price on grant date, vesting schedule and grant date for each such listed stock option) (collectively, the “Outstanding Company Options”), (y) a list of all restricted stock grants which are outstanding as of the Capitalization Date (including the name of grantee, number and type of Equity Interests granted, purchase price per share and grant date for each such listed restricted stock grant) (collectively, the “Outstanding Company RSAs”) and (z) a list of all warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company which are outstanding as of the Capitalization Date (including the name of the holder of, exercise price for, expiration date of and number and type of Equity Interests issuable under each such listed warrant) (collectively, the “Outstanding Company Warrants”).

(iii) The Company has not issued any Equity Interests since its most recently filed periodic or current report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of other Equity Interests outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. 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. Except for the Outstanding Company Options, the Outstanding Company RSAs, the Outstanding Company Warrants and as a result of the purchase and sale of the Shares, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock or other Equity Interests, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or other Equity Interests. Except with respect to the Outstanding Company Options and the Outstanding Company RSAs and the related award agreements to which the Company is a party, there are no obligations (whether outstanding or authorized) of the Company or any Company Subsidiary requiring the repurchase of any Equity Interests of the Company. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other Equity Interests to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and 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 Equity Interests. All of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding Equity Interests was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase Equity Interests. The offers and sales of the Company’s Equity Interests were at all relevant times either registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws or, based in part on the representations and warranties of the applicable purchasers, exempt from such registration requirements. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder or the Board of Directors is required for the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents other than, in respect of the Third Closing Shares alone, the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Except as listed on Schedule 3.1(g)(ii), there are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s Equity Interests to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s holders of Equity Interests.

The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.

The agreements and documents described in the SEC Reports conform to the descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be described in the SEC Reports that have not been so filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the SEC Reports, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.

Nor to the Company’s knowledge does there exist any basis for any such Action. Since January 1, 2011, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours.

(l) Compliance. The Company is and has been since January 1, 2011, in compliance with all Laws of any Governmental Authority applicable to its businesses, Products or operations, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse impact on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Since January 1, 2011, except as set forth in the SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is or has been in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other Governmental Authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any applicable Law of any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, all Laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product development, manufacturing, quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Since January 1, 2011, the Company and the Subsidiaries have possessed all certificates, approvals, agreements, licenses, registrations, exemptions, clearances, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate Governmental Authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, including, without limitation, those relating to the Products of the Company or the Subsidiaries, except where the failure to possess such certificates, approvals, agreements, licenses, registrations, exemptions, clearances, authorizations and permits, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (each, a “Material Permit”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to, nor to the knowledge of the Company does there exist any basis for, the revocation or modification of any Material Permit. The disclosures in the SEC Reports concerning the effects of federal, state, local and all foreign regulation on the Company’s business as currently contemplated are correct.

(n) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to, or have valid and marketable rights to lease or otherwise use, all real property and all personal property that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made in accordance with GAAP, and the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects.

None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All Intellectual Property Rights owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company or the Subsidiaries that have been issued by, or registered with, or the subject of an application filed with, as applicable, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or any similar office or agency anywhere in the world are currently in material compliance with formal legal requirements (including without limitation, as applicable, payment of filing, assignment recordations, examination and maintenance fees, inventor declarations, proofs of working or use, timely post-registration filing of affidavits of use and incontestability, and renewal applications). To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are valid and enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. 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 could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened claims against the Company alleging that any of the operation of the Business or any activity by the Company, or manufacture, sale, offer for sale, importation, and/or use of any Product infringes or violates (or in the past infringed or violated) the rights of others (“Third Party IP Assets”) or constitutes a misappropriation of (or in the past constituted a misappropriation of) any subject matter of any Third Party IP Assets or that any of the Intellectual Property Rights are invalid or unenforceable.

(iv) Neither the operation of the Business, nor any activity by the Company, nor manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale and/or sale of any Product, to the knowledge of the Company, infringes or violates (or in the past infringed or violated) any Third Party IP Asset or constitutes a misappropriation of (or in the past constituted a misappropriation of) any subject matter of any Third Party IP Asset.

(v) The Company owns all rights in or to all inventions, improvements, ideas, discoveries, writings, works of authorship, other intellectual property, and information relating to the Business that have been created or developed by each employee, consultant or contractor of the Company or the Subsidiaries within the scope of employment or engagement, as applicable, and all Intellectual Property Rights related thereto; in each case where a Patent is held by the Company or the Subsidiaries by assignment, the assignment has been duly recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and all similar offices and agencies anywhere in the world in which foreign counterparts are registered or issued.

(vii) Each agreement, contract, plan, lease, arrangement or commitment entered into by the Company or the Subsidiaries during the ninety (90) day period immediately following the date of this Agreement that is material to the Business will be a valid and binding agreement of the Company or the Subsidiary that is party to such agreement and is in full force and effect, and, except as set forth in the SEC Reports, neither the Company, the Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any other party thereto is in default or breach in any respect under the terms of any such agreement, contract, plan, lease, arrangement or commitment, except for any such defaults or breaches that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received written notice that any counterparty to any such agreement intends to exercise any change of control provision or any other provisions for cancellation or termination which may be triggered by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of nationally-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. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of cancellation of any such insurance, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, will it or any Subsidiary be unable to renew their respective 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.

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to or from, any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all rules and regulations applicable to them promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. 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 and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities 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 provide 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 its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(u) Registration Rights. No Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) 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 has not, in the three years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. 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 listing and maintenance requirements.

(w) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order 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 certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Shares and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Shares.

(x) Disclosure. The SEC Reports, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading.

(y) No Integrated Offering.

(z) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. 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. The SEC Reports 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.

(aa) Tax Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(aa) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has timely and properly filed all United States federal, state, local and foreign Tax returns, Tax reports, information returns, declarations of estimated Tax and other declarations and statements with respect to Taxes (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) required to be filed by it, (ii) such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects and the Company has paid all Taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount and required to be paid (whether disputed or not) by it, whether or not shown on the Tax Returns to be due, and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material Taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such Tax Returns apply. There are no unpaid Taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the Taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim. The provisions for Taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed with the SEC Reports are sufficient for all accrued and unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, and for all periods to and including the dates of such consolidated financial statements. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is a party to any claim, dispute, audit, pending action or proceeding, nor is any such claim, dispute, action or proceeding threatened by any Taxing authority, for the assessment or collection of any Taxes and no claim for the assessment or collection of any Taxes has been asserted against the Company or any Subsidiary that has not been settled with all amounts due having been paid. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has been notified that either the Internal Revenue Service or any other Taxing authority has raised any issues, or notified the Company or a Subsidiary of an intent to raise such issues, in connection with any Tax Return of the Company. No Lien with respect to Taxes has been filed and no deficiency or addition to Taxes, interest or penalties for any Taxes with respect to any income, properties or operations of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has been proposed, asserted or assessed against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. The Company has never been a “United States real property holding corporation” as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Section 1.897-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes, including sales and use Taxes, and has withheld and paid over all amounts required by Law to be withheld and paid from the wages or salaries of employees, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is liable for any Taxes for failure to comply with such Laws. No claim, or notice of claim, has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company does not file Tax Returns that the Company or a Subsidiary is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has been a member of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code filing a combined federal income Tax return nor does the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company have any liability for Taxes of any other Person under Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of foreign, state or local Law) or otherwise, other than the consolidated group of which the Company is currently the parent corporation.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof, and has no present intention of selling or distributing any of the Shares or any direct or indirect arrangement or understanding with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of the Shares (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares pursuant to the pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such 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 Shares except pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Each Purchaser is acting alone in its determination as to whether to invest in the Shares. Each such Purchaser has delivered a questionnaire in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the “bad actor” provisions of Rule 506(d) promulgated under the Securities Act. Each such Purchaser is not, as of the date of this Agreement, party to any voting agreements or similar arrangements with respect to the Shares, except the Registration Rights Agreement. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that it: (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if serving as a director or if elected as a director of the Company, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if serving as or elected as a director of the Company, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Company.

(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. 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 first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material pricing terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. 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 Shares covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, 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).

(g) Foreign Purchasers. If any Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or if Purchaser is a US subsidiary or affiliate of a foreign parent company, “Foreign Purchaser”), each such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Each Foreign Purchaser further represents that either (x) it does not now, nor will it after the First Closing, the Second Closing or the Third Closing, hold ten percent (10%) or greater, directly or indirectly, of the voting interest in the Company or (y) if it does or will, such Foreign Purchaser shall notify the Company and shall provide such information as the Company may reasonably request to comply with state, federal, or local regulations. The Company’s offer and sale and Foreign Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Foreign Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

(h) Legends. Each Purchaser understands that the certificates representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Shares):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.

(i) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the date of this Agreement until the date on which the Purchasers cease to hold any Shares, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, issue any press release or make any filing with the Commission, in each case, to the extent such press release or filing identifies any Purchaser or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless the Company first consults with each Purchaser, and considers in good faith any comments that any Purchaser may have on, such materials; provided, that the Company may make any subsequent press release or filings with the Commission that are substantially consistent in form with any such materials previously approved by the Purchasers in the manner provided for in this Section 4.3 without being required to first consult the Purchasers as otherwise required in this Section 4.3.

4.4 Stockholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

4.5 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or (c) in violation of FCPA or the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations.

4.6 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by (i) any current or former stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other third-party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless, in either case, such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party, which right shall remain in effect if and for so long as the Company continues to diligently defend against such action; provided, that in no event shall the Company be entitled to assume the defense of any action if such action (i) is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 or (iii) 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.6 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 indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.7 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is reasonably necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

4.8 Subsequent Equity Sales.

(a) From the consummation of the First Closing until thirty (30) days after the First Closing Date, or, if the Second Closing occurs before thirty (30) days after the First Closing Date, then one hundred eighty (180) days after the First Closing Date (such applicable period, the “Restricted Period”), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

(b) During the Restricted Period, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.8 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

4.9 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Document. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or otherwise.

4.10 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any time when the Purchasers do not have a right to designate Observers or Purchaser Nominees pursuant to Section 4.11 or to seek information from the Company in accordance with Section 4.1, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3 (so long as such transactions comply with all applicable Law and, if applicable, the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx, securities trading and similar policies), (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3 (so long as such transactions comply with all applicable Law and, if applicable, the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx, securities trading and similar policies) and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3 (other than, if applicable, under confidentiality policies of the Company, any confidentiality agreements referenced in Section 4.11 or Section 5.2 or the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 4.1). 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 covenant 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.

4.11 Board Observers; Board of Directors; Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Board Representation.

(i) Following the Second Closing, the Company shall allow two (2) individuals (collectively, the “Observers”), with each Purchaser being entitled to nominate one (1) Observer, to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting capacity, and in connection therewith, the Company shall give the Observers copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials, financial or otherwise, which the Company provides to the Board of Directors, which copies shall be sent to the Observers at the same time that they are sent to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to exclude the Observers from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes, upon written advice of outside legal counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or is prohibited by applicable Law; and provided, further, that the Observers shall enter into confidentiality agreements in mutually agreeable form before any Observer may attend any meeting of the Board of Directors or obtain any copies of the foregoing materials provided to the Board of Directors. The good faith decision of the Board of Directors with respect to the privileged or confidential nature of such information shall be final and binding. The observer rights applicable to any particular Purchaser provided by this Section 4.11(a)(i) shall terminate on the date on which such Purchaser’s Purchaser Nominee is first actually appointed or elected to the Board of Directors. For purposes of clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event the Second Closing does not occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Section 4.11 shall be null and void and the Purchasers shall have no rights to designate Observers or Purchaser Nominees.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, following and conditioned upon the Second Closing, and in any case only after the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each Purchaser shall, subject to the other terms of this Section 4.11, have the right to nominate one (1) individual for election to the Board of Directors (the “Purchaser Nominees”) in each election of directors from and after the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The number of Purchaser Nominees shall not exceed two (2) individuals.

(iii) If the Second Closing is consummated, (x) the Board of Directors shall promptly expand the Board of Directors so that there are an additional two (2) vacant seats on the Board of Directors and shall fill such vacancies with the Purchaser Nominees and (y) the Company shall take all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the stockholders of the Company to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the issuance and sale of the Third Closing Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Stockholder Proposal” and, such meeting, the “Stockholders’ Meeting”), including taking all action necessary to file or cause to be filed with the Commission a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in respect of such Stockholders’ Meeting and Stockholder Proposal. The Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held (on a date selected by the Company in consultation with Purchasers) as promptly as practicable after the Second Closing Date. The Board of Directors shall recommend that the stockholders of the Company adopt and approve the Stockholder Proposal and the Company shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

(iv) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects in form and substance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission and to respond promptly to any comments of the Commission or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Purchasers shall furnish to the Company all information concerning themselves and the Purchaser Nominees as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement or which may be required under applicable Law. The Company shall promptly notify the Purchasers upon the receipt of any comments from the Commission or its staff or any request from the Commission or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, shall consult with the Purchasers prior to responding to any such comments or requests or filing any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, and shall provide the Purchasers with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its representatives, on the one hand, and the Commission and its staff, on the other hand. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed, or distributed electronically in compliance with the Commission’s Notice and Access model, to all of the stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable following the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the Commission (or expiration of applicable period for comments). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing and mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the Commission with respect thereto, the Company shall provide the Purchasers a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall discuss with the Purchasers and include in such document or response comments reasonably proposed by the Purchasers.

(v) Each Purchaser will notify the Company promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, of any event that results in a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser beneficially owns, which notice will set forth the number of Shares beneficially owned by such Purchaser immediately following the occurrence of such event.

(vi) For so long as any Purchaser has the right to nominate a Purchaser Nominee for election pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(ii), in connection with each election of directors, subject to this Section 4.11(a)(vi), the Company shall nominate such Purchaser Nominee for election as a director as part of the slate that is included in the proxy statement of the Company relating to the election of directors; provided, however, that in the event that any Purchaser ceases to both beneficially own at least four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of any particular date and hold at least 67% of the Shares purchased hereunder by such Purchaser at the Closings (after giving effect to any share splits, reclassifications or similar corporate transactions), then the Company shall cease to have any obligations to nominate the Purchaser Nominee nominated by such Purchaser for election as a director under this Section 4.11. For the avoidance of doubt, in any such instance, the Company’s obligations in respect of the other Purchaser’s Purchaser Nominee shall remain unaffected.

(vii) In the event that any Purchaser Nominee shall cease to serve as a director for any reason (other than the failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect such person as a director or the resignation or removal of such director as a result of the Purchasers not having the right to nominate a director pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(vi)), the Purchaser who nominated such Purchaser Nominee shall have the right to designate another individual to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect any Purchaser Nominees shall not affect the right of any Purchaser, as the case may be, to designate a Purchaser Nominee for election pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(ii) in connection with any future election of directors of the Company.

(viii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to any Purchaser Nominee’s appointment to the Board of Directors and nomination for election as a director of the Company at the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders:

(A)

Purchasers and each such Purchaser Nominee must in all material respects provide to the Company (1) all information reasonably requested by the Company that is required to be or customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors, and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or regulation or stock exchange rules or listing standards, in each case, relating to their nomination or election as a director of the Company or the Company’s operations in the ordinary course of business and (2) information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal or regulatory obligations, in each case, relating to their nomination or election as a director of the Company or the Company’s operations in the ordinary course of business, with respect to Purchasers, its Affiliates and the applicable Purchaser Nominee;

(B)

each such Purchaser Nominee must be qualified to serve as a director of the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law to the same extent as all other directors of the Company;

(C)

each such Purchaser Nominee shall satisfy all relevant Nasdaq Stock Market, or other applicable exchange, rules and regulations;

(D)

each such Purchaser Nominee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; and

(E)

each such Purchaser Nominee must satisfy the requirements set forth in the Company’s code of conduct and securities trading policy and other similar policies, in each case as currently in effect with such changes thereto (or such successor policies) as are applicable to all other directors, as are adopted in good faith by the Board, and do not by their terms adversely impact any Purchaser Nominee relative to all other directors.

The Company will make all information requests pursuant to this Section 4.11(a)(viii) in good faith in a timely manner that allows Purchasers and each such Purchaser Nominee a reasonable amount of time to provide such information, and will cooperate in good faith with Purchasers and each such Purchaser Nominee in connection with their efforts to provide the requested information.

(ix) Purchasers hereby covenant and agree (A) not to designate or participate in the designation of any director designee who, to Purchasers’ knowledge, does not satisfy all relevant Nasdaq Stock Market, or other applicable exchange, rules and regulations (a “Disqualified Designee”), (B) that in the event Purchasers become aware that any individual previously designated by Purchasers is or has become a Disqualified Designee, then Purchasers shall notify the Company promptly in writing and as promptly as practicable Purchasers shall take such actions as are necessary to remove any such Disqualified Designee from the Board and designate a replacement designee who is not a Disqualified Designee, and (C) for so long as there is any Purchaser Nominee or Observer, Purchasers will, and will cause any Purchaser Nominee to, comply with the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy, securities trading policy and other similar policies.

(b) D&O Indemnification. Each Purchaser Director shall be eligible to enter into an indemnification agreement consistent with the form generally entered into with the Company’s officers and directors.

4.12 Reservation of Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

4.13 Voting Agreement. From and after the date hereof, upon prior written request thereof by any Purchaser, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to enter into one or more voting agreements with one or more of the Purchasers and such other substantial holders of Common Stock as reasonably requested by such Purchaser(s) and agreed to by the Company in respect of the election of the Purchaser Nominees.

4.14 Registration Rights Agreement. In the event that the Purchasers waive in writing the condition precedent to the First Closing contained in Section 2.2(a)(vi), then from and after the First Closing, the Purchasers and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into the Registration Rights Agreement promptly after the First Closing (and in any event within forty eight (48) hours thereafter).

5.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.6.

5.8 Governing Law. 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, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough 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 Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such 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 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. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.6, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

5.9 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. 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.

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, until the time the Company performs such obligations, such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

5.14 Replacement of Shares.

The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, 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 with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the Company and each Purchaser that the Purchasers are neither a “group” nor are they “acting in concert” within the meaning of the Exchange Act in connection with the investigation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, performance or consummation of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the fact that both Purchasers are now or may in the future be represented by the same or similar advisors, agents, counsel or other representatives, including Xxxxxxx Procter LLP.

5.18 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

5.21 Tax Filings. The Company shall cooperate, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to cooperate, with each Purchaser in providing such Purchaser with any information reasonably requested by such Purchaser for it to timely make all filings, returns, reports, forms or calculations in order to assist each Purchaser and their direct and indirect owners with the preparation of their tax returns, obtaining any benefit pursuant to applicable Tax law, or complying with any other Tax law that any Purchaser or their direct or indirect owners are subject.

5.22 Disclosure Schedule. Any matter or item disclosed in one section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to have been disclosed in each other section of the Disclosure Schedule in which it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that the information is required to be so disclosed. The Disclosure Schedule may be updated as follows: (i) in connection with the Second Closing, to include any event or condition first arising or occurring from and after the First Closing Date and prior to the Second Closing and (ii) in connection with the Third Closing, to include any event or condition first arising or occurring from and after the Second Closing Date and prior to the Third Closing.

5.23 Waiver of Conflicts. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that Company Counsel, outside general counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing”), including representation of such Purchasers or their affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the Financing. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that Company Counsel inform the parties hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. Company Counsel has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of the Financing solely on behalf of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation; (b) acknowledge that with respect to the Financing, Company Counsel has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser; and (c) gives its informed consent to Company Counsel’s representation of the Company in the Financing.
