within the Company, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act, as the case may be, is being prepared.

(b) Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 7.10(a) is given in consideration of the issuance of the Closing Securities to PHS and the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the matters and transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, each is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires prior to the issuance of any Closing Securities to PHS or the obligations set forth in Section 7.10(a) terminate as set forth in such Section 7.10(a).

Any such transfer of Securities not made in compliance with the requirements of this Section 7.10(c) shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or by the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) and shall not be recognized by the Company.
7.11. Removal of Legends. In connection with any sale or disposition of the Securities by an Investor pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other exemption under the 1933 Act such that the purchaser acquires freely tradable shares and upon compliance by the Investor with the requirements of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Securities and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Securities sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within three trading days of the request of the Investor and receipt by the Company from the Investor of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection therewith. Subject to receipt by the Company of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection therewith, upon the earlier of such time as the Securities (i) have been sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) such time as the Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision, the Company shall (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Securities, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the 1933 Act.

Each Investor covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each Investor understands and acknowledges that the SEC currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with securities included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, as set forth in Item 239.10 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations compiled by the SEC Division of Corporation Finance and hereby covenants that neither it nor any Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor shall execute any such short sales.

If any Investor shall default in its obligation to purchase Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Closing, the non-defaulting Investor or Investors shall have the option, at its or their sole discretion, to purchase any or all of the Securities that such defaulting Investor agreed to purchase hereunder at such Closing as set forth below. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company have the right to require any non-defaulting Investor to purchase Securities that a defaulting Investor failed to purchase at a Closing. In the event of default by any Investor, the Company shall give written notice to the non-defaulting Investors of such default (the “Default Notice”), which Default Notice shall specify the amount of Securities that the defaulting Investor failed to purchase at the applicable Closing (the “Remaining Securities”). Each non-defaulting Investor shall have an option, exercisable for a period of 10 days following the date of delivery of the Default Notice, to purchase, on a pro rata basis according to the number of Securities owned by such Investor so electing, the Remaining Securities for the consideration and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Default Notice. Such option shall be exercised by the delivery by such Investor of written notice to the Secretary of the Company. In the event that the options to purchase Remaining Securities under this Section 8.2 have not been exercised by the non-defaulting Investors with respect to all of the Remaining Securities, those Investors who have exercised their options within the 10-day period specified in this Section 8.2 shall have an additional option, for a period of five days next succeeding the expiration of such 10-day period, to purchase all or any part of the balance of such Remaining Securities on the terms and conditions set forth in the Default Notice, which option shall be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Secretary of the
Company. In the event there are two or more such Investors who choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of Remaining Securities in excess of the number available, the Remaining Securities available for each such Investor’s option shall be allocated to each such Investor pro rata based on the number of Securities owned by the Investor so electing. The closing of any purchase of Remaining Securities shall occur remotely via exchange of documents and signatures within seven days of the applicable notice to the Company of the applicable Investor’s election to purchase Remaining Securities in accordance with this Section 8.2.

Any investigation by such Company Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

The decision of each Investor to purchase Closing 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 Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the 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.
