This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subscriber and constitute, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of such Subscriber enforceable against such Subscriber in accordance with the terms thereof.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Subscriber’s charter documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Subscriber is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Subscriber or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Subscriber). Such Subscriber is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or to purchase the Purchased Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Subscriber is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

(d) Acquisition for Investment. The Subscriber is acquiring the Purchased Securities solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with a distribution. The Subscriber does not have a present intention to sell the Purchased Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of the Purchased Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein and subject to Section 3(h) below, the Subscriber does not agree to hold the Purchased Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Purchased Securities at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. The Subscriber acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Purchased Securities and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the subsidiaries and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the Subscriber understands the risks of investing in companies which operate primarily in Ukraine and that the purchase of the Purchased Securities involves substantial risks including the Risk Factors annexed hereto. The Subscriber has read and understands such risks and that such risks, and others, can result in the loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment in the Purchased Securities.

(e) Information on Company. Such Subscriber has been furnished with or has had access to the XXXXX Website of the Commission and to the Company’s Form 10-K filed on XXXXX on April 15, 2014 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, together with all other filings made with the Commission available at the XXXXX website (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Reports”) and all correspondence from the Commission to the Company including but not limited to the Commission’s comment letters relating to the Company’s periodic filings with the Commission whether available at the XXXXX website or not. In addition, such Subscriber has received in writing from the Company and AGI such other information concerning their operations, financial condition and other matters as such Subscriber has requested in writing, identified thereon as OTHER WRITTEN INFORMATION (such other information is collectively, the “Other Written Information”), and considered all factors such Subscriber deems material in deciding on the advisability of investing in the Purchased Securities. Such Subscriber has relied on the Reports and Other Written Information in making its investment decision.

(f) Opportunities for Additional Information. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company.

(g) Information on Subscriber. If the Subscriber is a U.S. Person (as that term is defined in Section 3(o) of this Agreement), then such Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is, and will be on the Closing Date, an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the 1933 Act, is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable such Subscriber to utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. Such Subscriber has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Purchased Securities. Such Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The information set forth on the signature page hereto regarding such Subscriber is accurate.

(h) Compliance with 1933 Act. If a U.S. Person, such Subscriber understands and agrees that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained herein), and that such Purchased Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. The Subscriber understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, the Subscriber will be unable to sell any Purchased Securities without either registration under the 1933 Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement. In any event, and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Subscriber may enter into lawful hedging transactions in the course of hedging the position they assume and the Subscriber may also enter into lawful short positions or other derivative transactions relating to the Purchased Securities, and deliver the Purchased Securities, to close out their short or other positions or otherwise settle other transactions, or loan or pledge the Purchased Securities, to third parties who in turn may dispose of these Purchased Securities.

(i) Purchased Securities Legend. The Purchased Securities shall bear the following or similar legend:

“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE PURCHASED SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Such Subscriber represents that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and, unless such Subscriber otherwise notifies the Company prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

(n) Short Sales and Confidentiality. Other than the transaction contemplated hereunder, the Subscriber has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber, executed any disposition, including short sales (but not including the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that the Subscriber first received a term sheet from the Company or any other person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced.

4. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each Subscriber that:

(a) Due Incorporation. The Company is a corporation or other entity duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries individually, or in the aggregate and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

As of the Closing Date, all of the Company’s Subsidiaries and the Company’s ownership interest therein are set forth on Schedule 4(a).

(b) Outstanding Stock. All issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and equity interests in the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

(c) Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements, the Stock Escrow Agreement, and any other agreements delivered together with this Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. The Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder.

(d) Capitalization and Additional Issuances. The authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Company and Subsidiaries on a fully diluted basis as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (not including the Purchased Securities) are set forth on Schedule 4(d). Except as set forth on Schedule 4(d), there are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights, understandings or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right to subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other equity interest of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. The only officer, director, employee and consultant stock option or stock incentive plan or similar plan currently in effect or contemplated by the Company is described on Schedule 4.1(d). There are no outstanding agreements or preemptive or similar rights affecting the Company’s common stock.

(e) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates, the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the “Bulletin Board”) or the Company’s stockholders is required for the execution by the Company of the Transaction Documents and compliance and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities. The Transaction Documents and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder have been unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority in the world, including without limitation, the United States, or elsewhere is required by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect or the consummation of any of the other agreements, covenants or commitments of the Company or any Subsidiary contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. Any such qualifications and filings will, in the case of qualifications, be effective on the Closing and will, in the case of filings, be made within the time prescribed by law.

(f) No Violation or Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscriber in Section 3 are true and correct, neither the issuance nor sale of the Purchased Securities nor the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents entered into by the Company relating thereto will:

(i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would be reasonably likely to constitute a default) under (A) the articles or certificate of incorporation, charter or bylaws of the Company, (B) to the Company’s knowledge, any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination applicable to the Company of any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company or over the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (C) the terms of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness, or any agreement, stock option or other similar plan, indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is a party, by which the Company or any of its Affiliates is bound, or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its Affiliates is subject, or (D) the terms of any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company, or any of its Affiliates is a party except the violation, conflict, breach, or default of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Purchased Securities or any of the assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except in favor of Subscriber as described herein; or

(iii) result in the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or repricing of any debt, equity or security instrument of any creditor or equity holder of the Company, or the holder of the right to receive any debt, equity or security instrument of the Company nor result in the acceleration of the due date of any obligation of the Company; or

(iv) result in the triggering of any piggy-back or other registration rights of any person or entity holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive securities of the Company.

(g) The Purchased Securities. The Purchased Securities upon issuance:

(i) are, or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other encumbrances, subject only to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws;

(ii) have been, or will be, duly and validly authorized and on the date of issuance of the Purchased Securities, the Purchased Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;

(iii) will not have been issued or sold in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights of the holders of any securities of the Company or rights to acquire securities of the Company; and

(iv) will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holders.

(h) Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that would affect the execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates which litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) No Market Manipulation. The Company and its Affiliates have not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Purchased Securities or affect the price at which the Purchased Securities may be issued or resold.

(j) Information Concerning Company. The Reports contain all material information relating to the Company and its operations and financial condition as of their respective dates which information is required to be disclosed therein. Since July 31, 2013 and except as modified in the Reports or in the Schedules hereto, there has been no Material Adverse Effect relating to the Company’s business, financial condition or affairs. The Reports, including the financial statements included therein do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances and when made.

(k) Defaults. The Company is not in material violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters which default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) not in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. No prior offering will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or steps that would cause the offer or issuance of the Purchased Securities to be integrated with other offerings which would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. The Company will not conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that may be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Purchased Securities that would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

(m) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D/Regulation S under the 0000 Xxx) in connection with the offer or sale of the Purchased Securities.

(n) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Since July 31, 2013, except as disclosed in the Reports, the Company has no liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company businesses since July 31, 2013 and which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Reports or on Schedule 4(n).

(o) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since December 31, 2013, except as disclosed in the Reports, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed in the Reports.

(p) Dilution. The Company’s executive officers and directors understand the nature of the Purchased Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Purchased Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of the Purchased Securities is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Purchased Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

(q) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise between the Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and presently employed by the Company, including, but not limited to, disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers, nor have there been any such disagreements during the two years prior to the Closing Date, in each case, that could cause a Material Adverse Effect.

(r) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

The Company satisfies all the requirements for the continued quotation of its common stock on the Bulletin Board.

(u) Transfer Agent. The name, address, telephone number, fax number, contact person and email address of the Company transfer agent is set forth on Schedule 4(u) hereto.

The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber 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 Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(a) In consideration of each Investor's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber and each holder of any Purchased Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any of the Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (c) any cause of action, regulatory action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any cause of action, suit or claim filed by another shareholder, whether presently a shareholder or not, of the Company) and arising out of, resulting from, or relating to the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement, or act or omission of any Indemnitee relating to any rights or obligations arising from or as a result of any Transaction Documents.

(b) The Subscribers agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the Company, the Company's officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon them or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon liability that occurs as a result of an adjudication or finding by a court of competent jurisdiction of a material misrepresentation by the Subscribers in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto or in any Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder, or under any Transaction Documents or other agreement delivered in connection herewith, exceed the Purchase Price paid by such Subscriber.

(c) Each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (for the purpose of this Section 7(c) only, an "Indemnified Party") shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each party required to provide indemnification under this Section 7 (for the purpose of this Section 7(c) only, an "Indemnifying Party") of any action commenced against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not release such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have, otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of the Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action if it is a claim brought by a third party, and after such assumption the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses incurred by it in connection with such action except as described below. In any such action, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss, damage or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

8. Anti-dilution and Purchase Rights.

(a) Right of Participation. For twelve months after the Closing, the Subscribers shall have the right to purchase up to 25% of the securities offered by the Company in any subsequent offering (the “Follow-On Financing”) upon the same terms as offered to all other offerees. The Subscribers shall be given not less than ten Business Days prior written notice (the “Notice of Sale”) of any proposed Follow-On Financing and shall have the right during the ten Business Days following receipt of the Notice of Sale to purchase the securities offered in the Follow-On Financing.

(b) Anti-Dilution Adjustment. Other than in connection with Excepted Issuances (as such term is defined in the last sentence of this Section 8(b)), if within twelve months following the initial Closing of the sale of Shares in the Offering, the Company shall issue without the consent of the Majority Holders any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify the conversion or exercise price of any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share which shall be less than 100% of the price per share of the Shares purchased by such Subscriber (including any issuances of securities in connection with the closing of a registered primary offering of any securities of the Company in any jurisdiction), subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations (the “Lower Price Issuance”), then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber respecting the Purchased Securities that are then still owned by the Subscriber at the time of the Lower Price Issuance so that the average per share purchase price of the Purchased Securities owned by the Subscriber on the date of the Lower Price Issuance plus such additional shares issued to Subscriber pursuant to this Section 8(b) is equal to such other lower price per share. The delivery to Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the 5 Business Days after the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this Section 8(b), in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, the price per share shall be deemed to be the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the price paid for such derivative security plus (B) the aggregate amount of consideration to be paid upon conversion or exercise price of such security for the maximum number of shares for which the derivative security may be converted or exercised, by (ii) the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise price of such security for the maximum number of shares for which the derivative security may be converted or exercised. The adjustment described in this Section 8(b) shall be made immediately upon the earlier of (x) the issuance of the derivative security or (y) the Company entering into an agreement to issue the derivative security, in each case at a price lower than the price per Share in the Offering (which price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations), but such adjustment shall not be made again upon any issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of such derivative security. Any Common Stock or derivative security issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issuance will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.01 per share of Common Stock. The rights of Subscriber set forth in this Section 8 are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement, any Transaction Documents, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscriber and Company are parties. For purposes hereof, “Excepted Issuances” means the (i) Company’s issuances of securities comprising the full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity that has been approved by a majority of disinterested directors of the Company and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of common stock or its issuances or grants of options to purchase common stock to employees, directors, and officers of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, and (iv) the Company’s issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities.
