The financial statements included in each SEC Filing comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement) and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates shown and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, subject in the case of unaudited financial statements to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”) (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and, in the case of quarterly financial statements, normal year-end audit adjustments and as otherwise permitted by Form 10-Q under the 1934 Act).
4.18 Insurance Coverage. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain insurance covering their respective properties, operations, personnel and businesses as the Company and such Subsidiaries reasonably deem adequate. The Company reasonably believes such insurance (a) insures against such losses and risks to the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses as is customary for comparably situated companies and (b) is commercially reasonable for the current conduct of their respective businesses. All such insurance is fully in force on the date hereof. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its 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 at a cost that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in
12
the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.19 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and to the Company’s Knowledge, no agent or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (a) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (b) 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, (c) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any Person acting on its behalf of which the Company or any Subsidiary is aware) which is in violation of law, or (d) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

4.23 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 Company security or solicited any offers to buy any Company security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act.
4.24 Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors set forth in Section 5, the offer and sale of the Shares to the Investors as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

Neither the Company or any Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of their respective current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or other Persons acting on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries, has on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries: (a) used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payments to any governmental officials or employees from corporate funds; (c) established or maintained any unlawful or unrecorded fund of corporate monies or other assets which is in violation of law; (d) made any false or fictitious entries on the books and records of the Company or any Subsidiary; or (e) made any
13
unlawful rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback, bribe or other unlawful payment of any nature. Neither the Company or any Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of their respective current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or other Persons acting on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”). The Company will not, and will not allow any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person or entity, towards any sales or operations in Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Myanmar or any other country sanctioned by OFAC or for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
4.26 Transactions with Related Parties. Except for transactions with one or more of the Investors and/or their Affiliates, none of the executive officers or directors of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company (other than for services as employees, officers and directors) that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the 0000 Xxx.
4.27 Internal Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the 1934 Act), that have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (c) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) 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. Since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, to the Company’s Knowledge, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses detected in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ internal controls over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ internal controls over financial reporting. To the Company’s Knowledge, there has been no change in its internal controls over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ internal controls over financial reporting.

4.31 Stock Option Plans. Each outstanding option to purchase Common Stock granted by the Company (the “Stock Options”) was granted pursuant to one of the Company’s equity incentive plans in accordance with the terms of such equity incentive plan and no such Stock Option has been backdated. There is no and, to the Company’s Knowledge, during the past five (5) years there has been no Company policy or practice to coordinate the grant of stock options with the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its financial results or prospects.
4.32 Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. Except as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, there is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company (or any Subsidiary) and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in SEC Filings and is not so disclosed.
4.33 Acknowledgment Regarding Investors’ Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Investors is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length investor with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Investor is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Investor or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Investors’ purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to each Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
4.34 Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements.

4.35 Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Neither the Company nor any other entity which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary would be treated as a single employer under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code maintains or contributes to, or has within the preceding six (6) years maintained or contributed to,
15
or has any liability with respect to, any Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. Except as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole: (i) each Plan (and related trust, insurance contract or fund) has been established and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms, and complies in all material respects in form and in operation with the applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code and all other applicable laws; and (ii) all contributions (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) which are due have been paid to each Plan.

(c) Neither the execution of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the foregoing will either alone or in combination with another event result in (i) severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date of this Agreement, (ii) any payment, compensation or benefit becoming due to any current or former employee, director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) acceleration of the time of the payment or vesting of, or increase in the amount of, compensation due to any current or former employee, director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any material obligation pursuant to any of the Plans, or (v) the payment of any amount that, individually or in combination with any other such payment, right or benefit constitutes an “excess parachute payment,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

(e) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any liability, whether absolute or contingent, including any obligations under any Plan, with respect to any misclassification of any person as an independent contractor rather than as an employee or with respect to any current or former employee classified as exempt from overtime wages, except as would not and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) All Plans subject to Section 409A of the Code or similar law have been operated and administered in all material respects in compliance with Section 409A of the Code or similar law.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Investors.
Each of the Investors hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that as of the date hereof and the Closing Date:
5.1 Organization and Existence. Such Investor is a validly existing corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to invest in the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
5.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Investor and each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and when delivered will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with their respective terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies and (c) to the extent the enforceability of indemnification provisions may be limited by applicable laws.
5.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares to be received by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for such Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Investor does not agree to hold any of the Shares for any minimum period of time and reserves the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not presently have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Shares (or any Stock Equivalents) to or through any person or entity. Such Investor is not, nor is any Affiliate of such Investor, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.
5.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor understands that the purchase of the Shares involves a substantial risk and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.
5.5 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive
17
answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. Such Investor acknowledges that no officer, director, attorney, broker-dealer, placement agent, finder or other person affiliated with the Company has given such Investor any information or made any representations, oral or written, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, on which the Investor has relied upon in deciding to invest in the Shares. Based on the information such Investor has deemed appropriate, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into the Transaction Documents. Such Investor has sought its own accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Investor shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
5.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. 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 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.
5.7 Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, the Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:
(a) “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE 1933 ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
(b) If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Shares, the legend required by such state authority.
5.8 Accredited Investor. At the time such Investor was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the 1933 Act and has executed and delivered to the Company its Investor Questionnaire, which such Investor represents and warrants is true, correct and complete. Such Investor is a sophisticated institutional investor with sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in private equity transactions to properly evaluate the risks and merits of its purchase of the Shares.
5.9 No General Solicitation. Such Investor did not learn of the investment in the Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.
18

5.11 Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary or an Investor for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Investor.
5.12 Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior to the Date Hereof. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Investor has not, directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor which (a) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) has or shares discretion relating to the Investor’s investments and trading or information concerning the Investor’s investments or (c) is subject to the Investor’s review or input concerning the Investor’s investments or trading, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and ending immediately prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’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, such Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
5.13 No Government Recommendation or Approval. Such Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the offering of the Shares.

The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice, 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 to which such Investor is a party, or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
19
effect on the ability of such Investor to perform its obligations hereunder.
5.16 No Rule 506 Disqualifying Activities. Such Investor has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the 1933 Act.

(b) An opinion from Xxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, dated as of the Closing Date, addressed to the Investors, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(c) A certificate of the secretary of the Company (the “Secretary’s Certificate”), dated as of the Closing Date, certifying (a) the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof approving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the issuance of the Shares, (b) the current versions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and (c) the signatures and authority of persons signing the Transaction Documents and related documents on behalf of the Company.
6.2 Investors’ Closing Deliveries. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Investors shall deliver each of the following deliverables to the Company, any of which may be waived by the Company:
(a) Copies of any and all consents, permits, approvals, registrations and waivers necessary for consummation of the purchase of the Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, all of which shall be in full force and effect.
(b) Investor Questionnaires, duly executed by each Investor.
(c) Each Investor’s full Subscription Amount.
7. Covenants and Agreements.
7.1 Removal of Legends. Subject to receipt by the Company of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection therewith, upon the earlier of such time as the Shares (a) have been sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) such time as the Shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (c) are eligible for resale under Rule
20
144(b)(1) or any successor provision, the Company shall timely remove any restrictive legends from the certificates representing such Shares. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 7.1 will cause irreparable harm to an Investor. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 7.1 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 7.1, that an Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
7.2 Short Sales and Confidentiality after the Date Hereof. Each Investor covenants that neither it nor any Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of such time as (a) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced or (b) this Agreement is terminated in full. Each Investor covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each Investor understands and acknowledges that the SEC currently takes the position that coverage of Short Sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with securities included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, as set forth in Item 239.10 of the 1933 Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.
7.3 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Investor 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 Investor could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in either case solely by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that no such Investor owns any equity in the Company prior to its purchase of the Shares hereunder not previously disclosed pursuant to the 0000 Xxx.
7.4 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that it has not provided, and to the Company’s Knowledge, none of its officers or directors nor any other Person acting on its or their behalf has provided any information that it believes constitutes material, non-public information, other than certain information pursuant to certain confidentiality agreements. The Company understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Transaction Documents shall grant the Investors any of the rights specified in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of 31 CFR 801.209.
7.5 Issuance of Senior Equity Securities. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of all of the shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding (voting separately as a class): (a) authorize or increase the authorized amount of, or issue shares of any class or series of stock ranking senior to the Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase, any class or series of stock ranking senior to the Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; or (b) amend the provisions of the Certificate of
21
Incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the events set forth in clause (b), (i) so long as any share of Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged or new shares of the surviving corporation or entity are issued with terms that are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the terms of the Preferred Stock, the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of Preferred Stock or the holders thereof and (ii) any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued shares of Preferred Stock or authorized common stock or preferred stock or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of other series of preferred stock ranking equally with or junior to Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company will not be deemed to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of Preferred Stock or the holders thereof. Notwithstanding to the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.5 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such consent would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice as required by the Certificate of Designation and sufficient funds shall have been irrevocably set aside by the Company separate and apart from its other assets, in trust for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption so as to be and continue to be available therefor.
7.6 Acknowledgement Regarding Investor’s Pledge of the Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the applicable Investor’s expense, the Company will, subject to Section 9.1 hereof, execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares.
8. Survival and Indemnification.
8.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares for a period of twelve (12) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of (a) the Company set forth in Sections 4.1 (Organization, Good Standing and Qualification), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.3 (Capitalization), 4.4 (Valid Issuance) and 4.5 (Consents) and (b) the investors set forth in Section 5 shall survive indefinitely; provided, however, that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 for breach of any representation or warranty is brought prior to the end of such period, then the obligation to indemnify in respect of such breach shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Shares until fully performed or fulfilled, unless noncompliance with such covenants, agreements or obligations is waived in writing by the party or parties entitled to such performance.

8.2 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Investors and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, employees, agents of each Investor, each Person who Controls any such Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 0000 Xxx) and the officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees and agents of each such controlling Person (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on the inaccuracy in the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, or any action instituted against an Investor in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such investor, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (a) the failure of such Indemnified Party to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, or (b) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Indemnified Party herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.
8.3 Indemnification Procedure. As soon as practicable after any Indemnified Party has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third Person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses
23
available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.
8.4 Purchase Price Adjustment. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 8 shall be treated as an adjustment to the applicable Closing consideration for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable law.
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company or the Investors, as applicable; provided, however, that an Investor may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of the Company or the other Investors, provided such assignee agrees in writing to be bound with respect to the transferred Shares by the provisions hereof that apply to Investors. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to the securities received by the Investors in connection with such transaction. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
9.2 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors 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 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.
9.3 Counterparts; Faxes; E-mail. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile or e-mail, which shall be deemed an original.
24
9.4 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

9.7 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor unless such amendment or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any Shares purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, and in each case, each future holder of all such Shares and the Company.
9.8 Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Investors without the prior written consent of the Company (in the case of a release or announcement by the Investors) or the
25
Investors (in the case of a release or announcement by the Company) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Company or the Investors, as the case may be, shall allow the Investors or the Company, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. No later than 5:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth Business Day following the date of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K attaching copies of the Transaction Documents to the extent so required. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Investor shall remain subject to the obligations contained in any separate agreement with respect to the non-disclosure or confidentiality of any information provided by the Company to such Investor in connection with such Investor’s evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby and acknowledges that the federal securities laws prohibit the purchase or sale of securities while in possession of material, nonpublic information.
9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the signature pages, Exhibits attached hereto, Appendices attached hereto and the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
9.11 Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.
9.12 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or other proceeding. Each party agrees to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto in the courts of the State of New York. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL
26
BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.
9.13 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors 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 Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
