No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Necessary Purchasers (provided, however, that any such amendment that adversely affects any Purchaser or class of Purchasers in a manner that does not apply uniformly to all Purchasers or Shares, as applicable, shall require the written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser or class) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought; provided, however, that a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Purchasers and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Purchasers must be given by all Purchasers to which such waiver or consent relates; and, provided, further, that the provisions of the proviso next preceding may be amended, modified, or supplemented only with the consent of all Purchasers. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities; provided that such assignment or transfer is in accordance with this Agreement and the transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Purchasers”.
6.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and, to the extent set forth in Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b), respectively, the Purchaser Parties and the Company Parties, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
6.7 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all 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, employees or agents) may be commenced, and to the extent permitted by applicable law shall be commenced exclusively, in the state and federal courts sitting in the County of San Diego, State of California (the “San Diego Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the San Diego Courts 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 Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such San Diego Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such 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 manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses actually incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
6.8 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the applicable Closing for a period of three (3) years; provided that the provisions of Section 5.4 shall survive with respect to Proceedings brought against an indemnified party by a third party.
6.9 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 the Company and Purchasers whose aggregate Investment Amount is not less than $2.0 million, and such counterparts have been delivered to the signing Purchasers (in the case of the Company’s signature) or the Company (in the case of the Purchasers’ respective signatures), it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic 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 or electronic signature page were an original thereof.

6.10 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.
6.11 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 described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the 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 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.
6.13 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by any Purchaser, only as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the date two (2) Business Days after the date originally scheduled for the Closing; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties); or (ii) by the Companywith respect to a particular Closing, by written notice to the Purchasers, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the date five (5) Business Days after the date originally scheduled for the Closing; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).
6.14 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 of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant 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 Document. The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees that the Purchasers are not acting as a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including 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 represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiations of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

6.15 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 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 never been made or such enforcement or setoff had never occurred.
