The issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement will not trigger any rights under any “change of control” provision in any (i) employment, “change in control,” severance or other compensatory agreements and any benefit plan, which results in payments to the counterparty or the acceleration of vesting of benefits or (ii) in any other agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, other than as would not individually or in the aggregate result in a material adverse effect.
(u) Certain Fees. The Company shall indemnify, pay, and hold the Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any right, interest or claim by any person as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement against or upon the Company for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company.
(v) Disclosure. The Company has made available to the Purchaser all the information reasonably available to the Company that the Purchasers have requested for deciding whether to acquire the Units. No representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and other Transaction Documents and no certificate furnished or to be furnished to Purchaser at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Organization; Validity; Enforcements. The Purchaser has the power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and other Transactions Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and other Transaction Documents and upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and other Transaction Documents, this Agreement and other Transaction Documents shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(b) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Units are being acquired for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof; provided, however, that by making this representation herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Units being acquired for any minimum period of time and reserves the right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Laws. The Purchaser does not have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect the distribution of the any of the Units, to or through any Person or entity.
(c) Investment Experience. Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Units involves substantial risk. Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the developmental stage and acknowledges that Purchaser can bear the economic risk of Purchaser’s investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Units. The Purchaser has undertaken an independent analysis of the merits and the risks of an investment in the Units, based on the Purchaser’s own financial circumstances.
(d) No General Solicitation. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser became aware of the offering of Units, and the Units were offered to the Purchaser, solely by direct contact between the Purchaser and the Company or the authorized representative of the Company and not by other means, including any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” ( as such terms are used in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and interpreted by the Commission).
(e) Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, as presently in effect and Purchaser has completed and executed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire previously provided to the Purchaser.
(f) Restricted Units. Purchaser understands that the Units are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that Purchaser is familiar with the Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby. The 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 Units, nor will the Purchaser engage in any short sale that results in a disposition of any of the Units by the Purchaser, except in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any applicable state securities law.
(g) Consultation With Own Attorney. Purchaser has been advised to consult with Purchaser’s own attorney or attorneys regarding all legal matters concerning an investment in the Company and the tax consequences of purchasing the Units, and has done so, to the extent the Purchaser considers necessary.
(h) Tax Consequences. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the tax consequences of investing in the Company will depend on particular circumstances, and neither the Company, the Company’s officers, any other investors, nor the partners, shareholders, members, managers, agents, officers, directors, employees, affiliates or consultants of any of them, will be responsible or liable for the tax consequences to Purchaser of an investment in the Company. Such Purchaser will look solely to and rely upon Purchaser’s own advisers with respect to the tax consequences of this investment.
(i) Legends. The Purchaser understands that until such time as the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”
(j) Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Units are being offered and sold to Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Units.
(k) No Government Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units.
6. Other Agreements of the Parties.
(a) Removal of Legends. The restrictive legend set forth in Section 5(i) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery, as applicable, if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144. Following the earlier of (i) the effective date of a registration statement or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Shares, upon Purchaser’s delivery of a shareholder representation letter and any such documentation as may be required by the Company’s counsel, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to remove the legend from the Shares and shall cause its counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the Transfer Agent. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate or instrument representing such Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) and a representation letter (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive legends. Certificates for Shares free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by such Purchaser. Except as may be required to ensure compliance with applicable law or so as to be consistent with any xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy implemented by the Company, and except as expressly provided in this Agreement the Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 6(a).
(b) Cooperation by the Company. The Company shall cooperate, in accordance with reasonable and customary business practices with any and all transfers, whether by direct or indirect sale, assignment, award, confirmation, distribution, bequest, donation, trust, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, or other transfer or disposition, for consideration or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, by the Purchaser or any of its successors and assigns of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, in the event and to the extent that the Company shall, during the period commencing as of the date of this Agreement and terminating one (1) year from such date, offer to sell shares of its Common Stock to any accredited investor, the Purchaser shall have a right-of-first refusal to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock at the same price offered by the Company to such accredited investor.
(d) Anti-Dilution. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, in the event and to the extent that the Company shall, during the period commencing as of the date of this Agreement and terminating one (1) year from such date, sell shares of its Common Stock to any accredited investor at a per share price that values the Company at less than $45 million (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days therefrom, issue a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, as applicable, to the Purchaser (the “Subsequent Purchaser Issuance”), such that, following the Subsequent Purchaser Issuance, Purchaser shall have received such number of shares of Common Stock as Purchaser would have obtained had this Agreement been entered into on the same price terms as the Dilutive Issuance (calculated based on the aggregate purchase price set forth in the Recitals of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(d) shall not apply to (1) any debt incurred by the Company, or (2) any stock, stock options, or stock purchase warrants issued to any employee, director or consultant of the Company in connection with such employee’s or consultant’s compensation provided that such issuances are not priced lower than 20% below the closing price of the stock on the day of issuance.
(e) Appointment of Director Position Following the Closing, the number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company shall be increased to four. Such new director shall be designated a nominee of the Purchaser and shall subsequently be approved by the Board of Directors and by the shareholders of the Company as part of the annual meeting as provided for by the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.
(f) Notice of Certain Events. Each party shall promptly notify the other parties of (a) a breach of any representation or warranty contained herein and (b) any event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item of which such party becomes aware which would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or had such event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item existed as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be required to take any action that would jeopardize such party's attorney-client privilege.
(g) Publicity. Except as may be required by applicable Law, the Company will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates and representatives (including its placement agent) not to, issue any press release or public statement that identifies the Purchaser or any investment adviser to the Purchaser, or otherwise makes any public statement with respect to the Purchaser or any investment adviser to any Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Any such press release or public statement required by applicable law shall only be made by the Company after reasonable notice and opportunity for review by the Purchaser.
(h) Warrants. Purchaser may at any time and from time to time exercise Warrant A and/or Warrant B, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached to the Form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit C and unless the Purchaser is exercising a cashless exercise pursuant to the Warrant, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate warrant price (the “Warrant Funds”) for the shares of Common Stock being purchased by the exercise of such Warrant.
7. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Purchaser. The Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and Affiliates and investment advisers (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, a “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Purchaser Indemnified Person may suffer or incur as a result of (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents or (ii) any action instituted against a Purchaser Indemnified Person in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company or other third party who is not a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser, or an Affiliate of such Purchaser Indemnified Person, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other Transaction Documents. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Person under this Agreement or other Transaction Documents to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Indemnified Person in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents or attributable to the actions or inactions of such Purchaser Indemnified Person. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to purchase price for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law. Such payment shall not result in an adjustment to the value of the original investment reported by the Company under GAAP.
(b) Indemnification of Company. After the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Company and its directors, officers, shareholders, 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 the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, 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 person (each a “Company Indemnified Person” and together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from any and all Losses that any such Company Indemnified Person may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement and other Transaction Documents. A Purchaser will not be liable to any Company Indemnified Person under this Agreement or other Transaction Documents to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Company Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Company Indemnified Person in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents or is attributable to the actions or inactions of such Company Indemnified Person. The Purchaser will be liable, in the aggregate, to Company Indemnified Persons for any amount in excess of the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser. For purposes of clarity, the Purchaser shall not be liable hereunder to any Company Indemnified Person with respect to any action taken by such Company Indemnified Person following the Closing.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Person of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(b), such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is not subject to appeal or further review). In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them; provided, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Persons. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, the indemnifying party shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
(d) For purposes of the indemnity contained in this Section 7 all qualifications and limitations set forth in the parties’ representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “material adverse effect” and words of similar import shall be disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations and warranties in this Agreement and the Losses arising therefrom.
8. Conditions Precedent to Closing.
(a) Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of the Purchaser to Purchase Shares. The obligation of the Purchaser to acquire the Units at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by the Purchaser:

In the event a registration statement is filed with respect to an underwritten offering or a selling stockholder registration statement relating solely to holders of the Company’s Common Stock who paid cash for such Common Stock in a sale placed by an independent placement agent, the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Purchaser to be included in any such registration statement may be limited if in the opinion of the underwriter or placement agent, the sale of such shares by the Purchaser would adversely impact the sale of shares by the underwriter or selling stockholders included therein.
(b) Survival of Warranties. Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the warranties, representations and covenants of the Company and the Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing; provided that the representations and warranties in Sections 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(f), 4(g), 4(u) and 5(a) shall survive indefinitely.
(c) Fees and Expenses.

(d) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign his rights and obligations, in whole or in part, to any Person to whom such Purchaser assignee or transfers Units or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in compliance with this Agreement and applicable Law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Units or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, by the terms and condition of this Agreement that apply to the Purchaser.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to Purchaser 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 manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
(f) Execution. 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 the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, 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 signature page were an original thereof.

(j) Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such party.
(k) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Units abandoned at any time prior to Closing:
(i) by mutual written agreement by the Company and the Purchaser;
(ii) by the Purchaser upon written notice to the Company, if (i) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement, such that Section 8(a) would not be satisfied and (ii) such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured prior to the date that would otherwise be the Closing Date in absence of such breach or condition;
(iii) by the Company, upon written notice to the Purchaser, if (i) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement, such that Section 8(b) would not be satisfied and (ii) such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured prior to the date that would otherwise be the Closing Date in absence of such breach or condition; and
(iv) by any party, upon written notice to the other parties, in the event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued any order, decree or injunction or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.
(l) Effects of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9(k) above, this Agreement (other than Section 7 and this Section 9, which shall remain in full force and effect) shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
(m) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
(n) Replacement of Units. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Units is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith and, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Units. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Units is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
(o) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
