all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be

the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and
regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of
filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis
during the periods involved ("GAAP"), except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except

officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of
any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state

knowledge of the Company, there is not pending any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of
the Company (in his or her capacity as such). The Commission has not
issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange
Act or the Securities Act.
(k) Labor
Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the actual
knowledge of the executive officers or directors of the Company, is imminent
with respect to any of the employees of the Company.
(l) Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in

which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any
statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without

safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance with the applicable
effective requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, except where such noncompliance would not have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure
to possess such permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect ("Material Permits"), and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title to
Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is
material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially
affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the
Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Patents and
Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar
rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to
so have would, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the "Intellectual Property
Rights"). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or
any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person where such
infringement would have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and file
histories of pending patent applications, to the actual knowledge of the
executive officers and directors of the Company, all such Intellectual Property
Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person
of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.
(p) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged. The Company has no 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 on terms consistent with market for the Company’s line of
business.
(q) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of
the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real
or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
(r) Internal Accounting
Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its
Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-KSB or
10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared.
(s) Solvency. Based
on our current rate of cash outflows, cash in the bank, and expected proceeds
from the Fusion Capital common stock purchase agreement, we believe that our
cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital
and capital expenditures into the fourth quarter of 2009.
(t) Certain Registration
Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors' representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities
Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the
Investors under the Transaction Documents. The Company has not
granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including "piggy-back"
registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the
Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been
satisfied.
(u) Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. The issuance and sale of the Securities under
the Transaction Documents does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no
approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is required for the
Company to issue and deliver to the Investors the maximum number of Securities
contemplated by Transaction Documents.
(v) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
(w) No Additional
Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with the Investors with respect to the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction
Documents.
(x) Disclosure. Upon
the filing of the initial Current Report on Form 8-K required under Section 4.5,
the Investors will not have received from the Company or any Person acting on
its behalf any information that the Company believes constitutes material,
non-public information concerning the Company. The Company
understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing
representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. All written disclosures provided to the Investors regarding
the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by
or on behalf of the Company (including the Company’s representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and correct and do not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself
and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:

Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its

Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary

liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such
Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such
Investor in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, except (i) 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 affecting
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be
limited by applicable law.
(b) Investment
Intent. The Investor is acquiring the Securities as principal
for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to such Investor's right at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or
warranty by such Investor to hold the Securities for any period of
time. The Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. The Investor does not have any agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the
Securities.
(c) Investor
Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities,
it was, and at the date hereof it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule
501(a) under the Securities Act. The Investor is not required to be

(d) General
Solicitation. The Investor is not purchasing the Securities as
a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding
the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.
(e) Access to
Information. The Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed
the Disclosure Materials and 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 Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities;
(ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their
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 inquiries nor any other investigation

OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 (a) Securities
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate
of such Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section
4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company
an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, reasonably acceptable to the
Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act.
(b) Certificates
evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time as
they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA
FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees
that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest
in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a
registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the
Securities to a financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by
the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if
required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may
transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval
or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but
such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer
following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice
shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s
expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a
pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with
a pledge or transfer of the Securities including the preparation and filing of
any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list
of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale of such Securities pursuant to an
effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii)
following a sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is
not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144(k). Following such time as restrictive legends
are not required to be placed on certificates representing Shares pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days
following the delivery by such Investor to the Company or the Company's transfer
agent of a certificate representing Shares containing a restrictive legend,
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing
such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section.
4.2 Integration. The
Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of
the Company shall, 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 such Investor, or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale
of the securities to such Investor.
4.3 Subsequent
Registrations. Except for the items described on Schedule 4.3 and the
Registration Statement, prior to the Effective Date, the Company may not file
any registration statement (other than on Form S-8) with the Commission with
respect to any securities of the Company.
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. By 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next Business
Day following the Closing Date, the Company will file a Current Report on Form
8-K disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as
exhibits thereto the Transaction Documents), and on the Closing Date the Company
will file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the
Closing. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and
notices in the manner and time required by the Commission and the Trading Market
on which the Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the
name of any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than the
Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this
transaction in accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange
Act) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Investor, except to the extent such disclosure is required by
law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide such
Investor with prior notice of such disclosure.
4.5 Indemnification of the
Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold each Investor
and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each,
an "Investor Party")
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of
investigation (collectively, "Losses") that any such
Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any
misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction
Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company
will reimburse the Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses
(including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection
therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are
incurred.
4.6 Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor
shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
4.7 Use of
Proceeds. The net proceeds from the offer and sale of the
Securities will be used to advance the pre-clinical, clinical and regulatory
development of the Company’s drug and vaccine candidates. A portion
of the net proceeds shall also be used for general corporate purposes, including
the maintenance of in-licensed patent rights and proprietary intellectual
property patent applications and patents. No portion of the net
proceeds will be used to redeem outstanding securities of the
Company.
4.8 No Net Short
Position. 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 Discussion Time until prior
to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced as described in Section 4.5 hereof. Additionally,
each Investor understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any
other Investor, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage
of short sales of the Common Stock "against the box" prior to the Effective Date
of the Registration Statement issuable hereunder is a violation of Section 5 of
the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the
Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation
Finance.

benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or

6.7 parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person,
except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7 (as to the Investor
Party).
6.8 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) may be commenced
exclusively in the Chancery Court, State of Delaware (the “Delaware
Court”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court 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 the any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such Delaware Court, 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. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any
provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such
Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such Proceeding.
6.9 Survival. The
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall
survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.
6.10 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 both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
were an original thereof.
6.11 Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents,
whenever an Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a
Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the
Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights.
6.13 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 of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. 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, 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 agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
6.15 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to an Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor
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 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
Securities 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
Document. 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 Securities 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. The Company
acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same
Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple
Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any
Investor.
