binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with
its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general
principles of equity.
(e) The
Buyer understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials
presented to the Buyer in connection with the purchase or sale of the Securities
constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Buyer has consulted

administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge, complaint, or investigation)
against the Company, and the Company has not received any notice, warning letter
or other communication from the FDA or any other Person, which (i) contests

any Purchaser (which at such time owns any Shares or Warrants) may reasonably
request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell
such Securities without registration under the 1933 Act, including without
limitation, within the requirements of the exemption provided by under Rule
144.

OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.
The
obligation of each Buyer hereunder to purchase the Securities at the Closing is
subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the
following conditions, provided that these conditions are for each Buyer’s sole
benefit and may be waived by such Buyer at any time in its sole discretion by
providing the Company with prior written notice thereof:
(i) The
Company shall have executed and delivered to such Buyer each of the Transaction
Documents.
(ii) The
representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though
made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied with
the covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Transaction Documents
to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the
Closing Date.
(iii) The
Common Stock (I) shall be listed on the Principal Market and (II) shall not have
been suspended, as of the Closing Date, by the SEC or the Principal Market from
trading on the Principal Market nor shall suspension by the SEC or the Principal
Market have been threatened, as of the Closing Date, either (A) in writing by
the SEC or the Principal Market or (B) by falling below the minimum listing
maintenance requirements of the Principal Market.
(iv) The
Registration Statement shall be effective and available for the issuance and
sale of the Securities hereunder and the Company shall have delivered to such
Buyer the Prospectus as required thereunder.
7. TERMINATION. In the
event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on the
Closing Date due to the Company’s or such Buyer’s failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above (and the nonbreaching party’s
failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall
have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party
at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any
other party.
8.
MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law;
Venue. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of
law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or
any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware.
(b) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
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. 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.
(c) Headings. The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(d) Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the
validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
8
(e) Entire Agreement;
Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written
agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting
on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement
and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as
specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer
makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such
matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an
instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of the Securities,
or, if prior to the Closing Date, those Buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers.
No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed
by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
(f) Notices. Any notices,
consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have
been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt,
when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or
electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one
Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case
properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile
numbers for such communications shall be:

Buyers, or to such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention

transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service, shall be

(g) No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not
for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person.
(h) Independent Nature of
Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any
Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Buyers 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 Buyer confirms that it has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the
advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose.
