to Shares
2.1 Calculation.
If,
during the period beginning on the date of execution of this Agreement (the
“Execution
Date”)
and
ending immediately following the consummation by the Company of an Additional
Financing (as defined below), the Company issues any Additional Stock (as
defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than
the Adjusted Purchase Price (as defined below) in effect immediately prior
to
the issuance of such Additional Stock (each, a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
the
Company shall issue to each Investor a number of additional shares of Common
Stock (“Additional
Investor Shares”)
calculated as follows:
AS
=
(PP1*CS
x
XX0)-
CS
2
For
purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) "PP2"
shall
mean the Adjusted Purchase Price at which Additional Stock shall be sold in
such
Dilutive Issuance;
(ii) "PP1"
shall
mean the Adjusted Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive
Issuance;
(iii) "CS"
shall mean the number of Shares that had been issued and sold to such Investor
pursuant to this Agreement at PP1
(without
accounting for any Warrant Shares that may be issued or issuable at such time
to
such Investor); and
(iv) "AS"
shall mean the number of Additional Investor Shares to be issued to such
Investor pursuant to this Section 2.
No
adjustment of the Adjusted Purchase Price will be made in an amount less than
one tenth of one cent per share $0.001), provided that any adjustments that
are
not required to be made by reason of this sentence will be carried forward
and
shall be taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 2. Except to the limited extent provided for in Section 2.4, no
adjustment of the Adjusted Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall
have the effect of increasing such Adjusted Purchase Price above the Adjusted
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
2.2 Options,
Warrants, Etc.
The
following provisions shall apply with respect to calculations of the number
of
Additional Investor Shares to be issued in the case of issuances by the Company
(whether on or after the Execution Date) of warrants, options to purchase or
rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible
into
or exchangeable for Common Stock or warrants, options to purchase or rights
to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities:
(a) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including,
without limitation, the passage of time),
of
such warrants, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock
will
be deemed to have been issued at the time such warrants, options or rights
were
issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received
by
the Company upon the issuance of such warrants, options or rights plus the
minimum exercise price provided in such warrants, options or rights for the
Common Stock covered thereby.
(b) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage
of
time),
for
any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options
to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof will be deemed to
have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received
by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding
any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus
the
minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon
the
conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options
or rights.
3
(c) In
the
event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in
the consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such options or rights
or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from antidilution
protections, the Adjusted Purchase Price, to the extent in any way affected
by
or computed using such options, rights or securities, will be recomputed to
reflect such change, but no further adjustment will be made for the actual
issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise
of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such
securities.
2.3 Definitions.
As used
herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Additional
Financing”
means
the issuance or sale by the Company (or, in accordance with this Section 2,
the
deemed issuance and sale by the Company) of shares of Common Stock, whether
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, until the aggregate consideration
paid
(or, in accordance with this Section 2, deemed to be paid) to the Company,
from
and after the Initial Closing, shall exceed (x) $9,300,000 less (y) the
aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Investors for the Securities hereunder
at
the Initial Closing.
(b) “Additional
Stock”
means
any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to
Section 2.2 above) by the Company after the Execution Date other
than:
(i) shares
of
Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 2.4
below;
(ii) shares

or
(vi) shares

Rights Agreement dated January 5, 2006 (the “Prior
Registration Rights Agreement”).
(c) “Adjusted
Purchase Price”
means,
initially, the Purchase Price, and thereafter as adjusted pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.
4
2.4 Stock
Splits, Combinations, Etc.
In the
event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the Execution
Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional
shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into,
exchangeable for, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (the “Common
Stock Equivalents”)
without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares
of
Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such
record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision
if
no record date is fixed), the Adjusted Purchase Price will be appropriately
decreased to reflect the proportionate increase in the number of Shares deemed
issued to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement, provided,
however,
that if
such record date is fixed and such dividend is not paid or if such distribution
is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Adjusted Purchase Price will
be re-computed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date
and
thereafter each such Adjusted Purchase Price will be adjusted pursuant to this
Section 2(d) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or
distribution. If
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Execution
Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
then, following the record date of such combination, the applicable Adjusted
Purchase Price will be appropriately increased to reflect the proportionate
reduction in the number of Shares deemed issued the Investors pursuant to this
Agreement.
2.5 Recapitalizations.
If
at any
time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock
(other than the Q-RNA Merger or a subdivision, combination or merger or sale
of
assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 2), appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
Section 2 with respect to the rights of the holders of Shares after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 2 (including
adjustment of the applicable Adjusted Purchase Price then in effect) shall
be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
2.6 Fractional
Shares; Certificate as to Adjustments.
(a) No
fractional shares will be issued upon any adjustment of the Adjusted Purchase
Price, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as a result thereof
will be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(b) Upon
the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Adjusted Purchase Price
pursuant to this Section 2, the Company, at its expense, will promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof
and
prepare and furnish to each Investor a certificate setting forth such adjustment
or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or
readjustment is based.

This
Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s
representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this

contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with
respect to any of the Securities.
(c) Disclosure
of Information.
Such
Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary
or

further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering

Experience.
Such
Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage
and
acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk

available.

Advisors.
Such
Investor has reviewed with such Investor’s own tax advisors the federal, state
and local tax consequences of this investment, where applicable, and the

Investor’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

surrounding the proposed disposition and (ii) if reasonably requested by
the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion
of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will
not
require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company
will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule

Company shall take all such corporate action as may be required to assure that
the Company shall at the appropriate times have authorized and reserved, free
from preemptive or other similar rights, a sufficient number of shares of its
Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the Warrants. The Company will
obtain any authorization, consent, approval or other action by or make any
filing with any governmental agency that may be required under applicable
federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.
6.7 Reissuance
of Securities.
The
Company agrees to reissue certificates representing the Securities and the
Warrant Shares without the legends set forth in Section 4.3 above at such
time as (a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Securities
or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act, or (b) upon resale subject to an effective registration
statement after such Securities or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are
registered under the Securities Act. The Company agrees to cooperate with the
Investors in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k)
and provide legal opinions necessary to allow such resales provided the Company
and its counsel receive reasonably requested representations from the selling
Investor and broker, if any.
21
As
long
as any Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors
and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as
is
required for the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule 144.
6.8 Integration.
The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the
sale
of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer
or
sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any exchange
or trading market on which any of the securities of the Company may be listed
or
designated, such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing
of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the
closing of such subsequent transaction.
6.9 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, 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, by virtue of receiving
Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between
the Company and the Investors.
6.10 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
During
the period beginning on the Execution Date until the Company shall have
consummated in full the Additional Financing, if the Company shall issue and
sell to any party, or agree to issue and sell to any party, any shares of Common
Stock, or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the
Company directly or pursuant to stock options as compensatory arrangements),
on
terms that are more favorable than those offered to the Investors under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (including without
limitation voting and board designation rights; registration rights; rights
of
first offer on subsequent issuances; preferences on liquidation, redemption
or
dividends; covenant protections; and protections against dilutive issuances)
(collectively, “Superior
Terms”),
or
alter, amend or modify, by reclassification or otherwise, any currently
outstanding securities or contractual arrangements relating thereto in any
manner that shall result in such outstanding securities having Superior Terms,
then forthwith such Superior Terms shall be deemed applicable to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and the Company will cooperate and take all
such action as may be necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.10.
6.11 Form
D; Blue Sky Filings.
The
Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as
required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request
of any Investor. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to
qualify the Securities for, sale to the Investors at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and
shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
Investor.
22
7. Indemnification.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 7, in addition to all of the Company’s other
obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company will indemnify, protect
and hold the Investors and their 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 Investor (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 persons (each, an “Investor
Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, penalties, fees,
costs
and expenses, (irrespective of whether any such Investor Party is a party to
the
action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”)
that
any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of, arising out or,
or
relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby (unless,
and
only to the extent that, such action is based upon a breach of representations,
warranties or covenants under the Q-RNA Merger Agreement), (b) any breach of
any
covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against
such Investor Party by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative
action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from
(i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in
part,
directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities,
or
(iii) the status of such Investor or holder of the Securities as an investor
in
the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents (unless, and only to the extent that, such action is based solely
upon
a breach of such Investor’s representations, warranties or covenants under the
Transaction Documents or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud,
gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought
against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in
writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof
with
counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to such Investor. Any
Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent
that
(i) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such
defense and to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such Investor, or (ii)
in
such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a
material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company
and
the position of such Investor Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party
notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and
expenses of one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party). The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this
Agreement for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Investor
Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by
the claimant or plaintiff to the applicable Investor Party of a release from
all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The failure to deliver
written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement
of
any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Investor
Party under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced
in its ability to defend such action.
23
8. Termination.
8.1 This
Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Initial Closing by the
mutual written consent of each of the parties hereto.
8.2 Unless
otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, this Agreement will be terminated if
all
conditions to the Initial Closing have not been satisfied or waived on or before
December 15, 2006 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall not be available
to
any party whose failure to perform in any material respect any of its
obligations or covenants under this Agreement results in the failure of any
condition set forth in Section 5 or if the failure of such condition results
from facts or circumstances that constitute a material breach of a
representation or warranty or covenant made under this Agreement by such
party.
8.3 Either
the Investors or Company, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate
this Agreement if a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental
authority shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or
taken any other action, in each case having the effect of permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Q-RNA Merger or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
8.4 Upon
any
such termination, the Company shall promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to
release to the Investors any amounts held pursuant to the escrow arrangement
described in Section 1.4 above.
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
The
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Investors
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement will survive the execution
and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Closing
and will in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter
thereof made by or on behalf of the Investors or the Company.
24
9.2 Successors

Except

otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement may not

other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any
rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

or, in
any such case, at such other address or addresses as shall have been furnished
in writing by such party to the others.
9.6 Finder’s
Fee.
Each
Investor agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability
for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders’ fee (and the
costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability)

representatives is responsible. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Investor from any liability for any commission or compensation
in
the nature of a finder’s fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against
such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its
officers, employees or representatives is responsible.
25
9.7 Expenses.
The
Company shall pay the reasonable fees of Manatt, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP,
counsel to the Investors, in connection with the negotiation and documentation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, not to exceed $65,000, and will pay
all
costs and expenses incurred by the Investors with respect to any modification,
amendment or waiver of the terms of with this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or
interpret the terms of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the
Charter, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees,
costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which
such
party may be entitled.
9.8 Amendments
and Waivers.
(a) Any
term
of this Agreement or the Warrants 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 Investors holding a majority of the Shares purchased hereunder
(which majority must include a majority in interest of the Initial Investors),
provided that any party purchasing Securities at a Subsequent Closing may become
a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.3(b) without any
amendment pursuant to this paragraph or any consent or approval of any other
Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the consent of each affected
Investor shall be necessary to do the following:
(i) amend
or
modify this Section 9.8; or
(ii) make
any
change in the Transaction Documents that modifies or amends any provision of
any
Warrant relating to the number or type of Warrant Shares for which such Warrant
is exercisable, or the exercise price of such Warrant.
(b) Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph will be binding
upon each holder of any Securities purchased under this Agreement at the time
outstanding (including securities into which such securities are convertible),
each future holder of all such Securities, and the Company.
9.9 Enforceability;
Severability.
If
one or
more provisions of this Agreement are held to be prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision will be effective to the
fullest extent possible excluding the terms affected by such prohibition,
invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If the prohibition,
invalidity or unenforceability referred to in the prior sentence requires such
provision to be excluded from this Agreement in its entirety, the balance of
the
Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and will
be
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
26
9.10 Governing
Law; Venue.
This
Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the
internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties.
Each of the Company and the Investors hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of
New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes
of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.
9.11 Waiver
of Jury Trial.
EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE
OF
THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT
MAY
BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY
CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN
FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT
BE
SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND
REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL,
AND
THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING
CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT
MAY
NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO
ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO (OR ASSIGNMENTS OF)
THIS
AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL (WITHOUT A JURY) BY THE COURT.
9.12 Aggregation
of Stock.
All
Securities held or acquired by entities advised by the same investment adviser
and affiliated entities or persons will be aggregated together for the purpose
of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.
9.13 Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and no party will
be
liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties,
representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or
therein.
27
9.14 Delays
or Omissions.
No
delay
or omission to exercise any right power or remedy accruing to any party under
this Agreement, or upon any breach or default of any other party under this
Agreement, will impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching
or
non-defaulting party nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any such
breach
or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or
default thereafter occurring; nor will any waiver of any single breach or
default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind
or
character on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this
Agreement, must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this
Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative
and
not alternative.
9.15 Exculpation
Among Investors.
Each
Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or
corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making
its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Investor agrees that
no Investor nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors,
partners, agents, members, managers or employees of any Investor shall be liable
to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted
to
be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the
Securities.
