(a) Organization; Authority. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and is, or when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application or insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents, if any, of such Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or 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 Purchaser is a party or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.
20.
(c) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser 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 Securities (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity; such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer.

Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such evaluation, consultation nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules). Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
(h) Brokers and Finders. Other than the Placement Agent, no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Purchaser.
21.
(i) Independent Investment Decision. Such Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities. Subject to Section 6.10, below, neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules).
(j) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.
(k) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(l) Residency. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser’s principal executive offices are, and if such Purchaser is a natural person, such Purchaser’s principal residence is, in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Purchaser’s name on Annex A hereto, and all communications between such Purchaser and the Company regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement took place within or from the state of such principal executive offices or principal residence.
(m) No Disqualification Events. No Purchaser that beneficially holds or will hold after the Closing 20% or more of the Company’s voting stock, nor, to the extent it has them, any of such Purchaser’s shareholders, members, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers, are subject to any Disqualification Event, except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The purchase of the Securities by any Purchaser that beneficially holds or will hold after the Closing 20% or more of the Company’s voting stock will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.
The Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that no party to this Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Article III and the Transaction Documents.

The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), which, subject to the accuracy of the Company’s and the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth herein, shall consist of the submission of all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers who request in writing such evidence.
4.3 No Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Transcept and the Affiliates of the Company and the Affiliates of Transcept, 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 will 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 Purchasers.
4.4 Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes.
4.5 No Promotion. The Company agrees that it will not, and shall cause its Subsidiary not to, without the prior written consent of a Covered Party (as defined below), use in advertising, publicity, or other public communication, the name of a Covered Party or any partner or employee of a Covered Party, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service xxxx, symbol or any abbreviation, or contraction thereof owned by a Covered Party, except that the Company may make any such disclosure if, in the Company’s reasonable belief upon the advice of counsel, such disclosure is required (A) by applicable law and such Covered Party is notified in advance and given reasonable opportunity to minimize such disclosure or (B) to the extent required in connection with any filings with the Commission, including filings by Transcept. The term “Covered Party” shall mean (i) the Baupost Purchaser, (ii) the Abingworth Purchaser and (iii) the Fidelity Purchasers.

ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Material Non-Public Information and Affiliates. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that would, as of the Merger, constitute material non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser will be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. Each of the Baupost Purchaser and the Fidelity Purchasers hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows: (i) to its knowledge, the Purchaser is not affiliated with any officer or director of the Company; (ii) each of the Fidelity Purchasers and the Baupost Purchaser is not acting in concert with any other Person in connection with the acquisition, holding, voting or disposition of any securities of the Company, including the Shares to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the Purchaser, after consultation with its legal counsel, is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead it to conclude that the Purchaser is or may be deemed an Affiliate of the Company or an underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) with respect to any securities of the Company, or that any planned disposition of any such securities is part of a distribution of such securities. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each of the Baupost Purchaser and the Fidelity Purchasers in the preceding sentence and in Section 3.2, above, the Company acknowledges that each of the Baupost Purchaser and the Fidelity Purchasers is not currently an Affiliate of the Company and will not be an Affiliate of the Company upon the Closing. Assuming no changes in relevant facts or law following the Closing, the Company will not take any position to the effect that each of the Baupost Purchaser and the Fidelity Purchasers is an Affiliate of the Company in connection with any proposed disposition of any Company securities.
27.
6.2 Fees and Expenses. The Company and the Purchasers shall each pay the fees and expenses of their respective advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
6.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, discussions and representations, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company and the Purchasers will execute and deliver to the other such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.
6.4 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (provided the sender receives a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission) or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file at the facsimile number or e-mail address, as applicable, specified in this Section 6.4 prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (provided the sender receives a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission) or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file at the facsimile number or e-mail address, as applicable, specified in this Section 6.4 on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, (c) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

6.5 Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company, and Transcept; provided that in no event shall Transcept unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any such waiver or amendment; and provided further, such written instrument for such waiver or amendment is also signed by the Requisite Purchasers if, and only if, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Requisite Purchasers, such waiver or amendment would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of any Purchaser in a more than de minimis way or that would reasonably be expected to have more than a de minimis adverse effect on the value of such Purchaser’s investment in the Shares (including for this purpose on the shares of Transcept issued or issuable in the Merger in exchange therefor); and provided further, such written instrument for such amendment is also signed by a Purchaser who immediately following the closing of the Merger will own at least seven percent (7.0%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Transcept on a fully diluted basis, if, and only if, in the reasonable and good faith determination of such Purchaser, such amendment would reasonably be expected to be disproportionately adverse to such Purchaser in a more than de minimis way; and provided further, Section 2.2(a)(iii) and Section 5.1(l) above may not be waived or amended without such written instrument for such waiver or amendment also being signed by the Fidelity 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. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also offered to all Purchasers who then hold Securities.
6.6 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
6.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (other than by merger or consolidation or to an entity which acquires the Company, including by way of acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets). Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchasers”.
6.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person; provided, however, that, (a) Transcept shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 6.18 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms thereof, and (b) upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2, Transcept shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms hereof, including the obligations of the parties to sell and purchase the Shares.
30.
6.9 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 Delaware, 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) shall be commenced exclusively in the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware 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 the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. 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. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
6.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing until the later of 30 days after the filing by Transcept of its audited annual financial statements with the Commission that covers at least part of the period following the Merger and March 31, 2015. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Purchaser shall have any claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company and each Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived and released any claims for such a breach if such Purchaser had actual knowledge of the particular breach prior to the Closing.
6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. 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.
6.12 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 achieves that same or substantially the same effect or result, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
31.
6.13 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, if other than the Company, of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent, if other than the Company, for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.14 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, and upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2, Transcept, will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages will not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by the Purchasers, the Company or Transcept by reason of any breach of any such provisions. Each of the Purchasers and the Company hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any Person with respect thereto.
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, without limitation, 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 not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.16 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or similar event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to the Shares, a number of shares, a price per share or the class or type of securities with respect to the Shares shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.
32.
6.17 Independent Nature of the 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 the Transaction Documents 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, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or 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 Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser 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 Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser. The Company’s obligations to each Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are identical to its obligations to each other Purchaser other than such differences resulting solely from the number of Securities purchased by such Purchaser.
6.18 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares abandoned (i) at any time prior to the Closing and prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement, by mutual written consent of the Company and Transcept (which such Transcept consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and at any time prior to the Closing and following the termination of the Merger Agreement, by consent of the Company, (ii) if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 31, 2014, by any Purchaser listed on Annex A hereto (with respect to itself only), upon written notice to the other, or (iii) by either the Company or any Purchaser listed on Annex A (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable order, degree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.18 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 6.18, the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.18, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.
33.
6.19 Waiver of Conflicts. Each Purchaser acknowledges that: (a) it has read this Agreement; (b) it has been represented in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of its own choice or has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel; and (c) it understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement and is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement. Each Purchaser understands that the Company has been represented in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, and that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP have not represented any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP may have in the past represented and may now or may in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the representation of such Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters of a nature similar to those contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and each Purchaser hereby acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation, and hereby waives any conflict arising out of such representation with respect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement.
