4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as the Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as the Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time, to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 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 Purchaser or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
4.4 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for (i) general working capital purposes, (ii) to finance acquisitions, (iii) to finance software development and marketing, and (iv) not to redeem any Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding litigation, or to make any payment to any director or officer, other than salary and reimbursement of expenses in accordance with past practice.

4.5 Indemnification of Purchaser. The Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser 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, that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to: (a) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute a breach or inaccuracy, of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Purchaser Party and arising solely out of or solely resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and without causation by any other activity, obligation, condition or liability pertaining to such Purchaser. The Company will reimburse the Purchaser 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 Prohibition of Short Sales. Until the termination of the transfer restrictions, each Purchaser shall not effect any “short sale” of the Company’s common stock. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by such party, the harm to the others will be immediate, substantial and irreparable and the monetary damages will be inadequate. Accordingly, each Purchaser agrees that, in such event, the others will be entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction and an order of specific performance, in addition to any and all other remedies at law or in equity.

5.11 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 therefore, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
