The Company shall also designate in any Advance Put Notice (i) a maximum dollar amount of Common Stock of its choosing, but not to exceed $500,000, which it shall sell to Investor during the Put (the “Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount”) and/or (ii) a minimum purchase price per Put Share at which the Investor may purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Put Notice (a "Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price"). The Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price shall be no greater than 80% of the Closing Bid Price of the Company’s common stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Advance Put Notice Date (the
“Maximum Allowable Floor Price”) and shall be no less than 50% of the Closing Bid Price of the Company’s common stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Advance Put Notice Date (the “Minimum Allowable Floor Price”). If the Company does not specify a Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price, then the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price shall be deemed to equal the Minimum Allowable Floor Price, as defined above. The Company may decrease (but not increase) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for a Put at any time by giving the Investor written notice of such decrease not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Trading Day that such decrease is to take effect. A decrease in the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price shall have no retroactive effect on the
determination of Trigger Prices and Excluded Days for days preceding the Trading Day that such decrease takes effect, provided that the Put Share Price for all shares in a Put shall be calculated using the lowest Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price, as decreased.
(b) Put Share Amount. The “Put Share Amount” is the number of shares of Common Stock that the Investor shall be obligated to purchase in a given Put, and shall equal the lesser of (i) the Intended Put Share Amount, and (ii) the Individual Put Limit. The “Individual Put Limit” shall equal the lesser of (A) the Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount divided by the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price (the “Maximum Share Amount”), (B) 17.5% of the sum of the aggregate daily reported Trading Volumes in the outstanding Common Stock on the
Company’s Principal Market for all Evaluation Days (as defined below) in the Pricing Period, excluding any block trades that exceed 40,000 shares of Common Stock (“Excluded Block Trades”), (C) the number of Put Shares which, when multiplied by their respective Put Share Prices, equals the Maximum Put Dollar Amount, and (D) the 9.9% Limitation (collectively referred to herein as the “Volume Limitations”). Company agrees not to trade Common Stock or arrange for Common Stock to be traded for the purpose of artificially increasing the Volume Limitations.
For purposes of this Agreement:
Page - 15
"Trigger Price" for any Pricing Period shall mean the greater of (i) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price divided by 0.98 or (ii) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price, plus $0.01.
An “Excluded Day” shall mean each Trading Day during a Pricing Period where the lowest intra-day trading price of the Common Stock is less than the Trigger Price and each Trading Day defined in Section 2.3.4 as an “Excluded Day.”
An “Evaluation Day” shall mean each Trading Day during a Pricing Period that is not an Excluded Day.
(c) Put Share Price. The purchase price for the Put Shares (the “Put Share Price”) shall equal the lesser of (i) 98% of the Market Price for such Put or (ii) the Market Price for such Put minus $0.01, but shall in no event be less than the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for such Put, if applicable.
(d) Delivery of Put Notice. After delivery of an Advance Put Notice and subject to the Minimum Lead-In Price Restriction, on the Put Date specified in the Advance Put Notice the Company shall deliver written notice (the “Put Notice,” the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C) to Investor stating (i) the Put Date, (ii) the Intended Put Share Amount as specified in the Advance Put Notice (such exercise a “Put”), (iii) the Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount (if applicable), and (iv) the
Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price (if applicable). In order to effect delivery of the Put Notice, the Company shall (i) send the Put Notice by facsimile on the Put Date so that such notice is received by the Investor by 4:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii) surrender such notice on the Put Date to a courier for overnight delivery to the Investor (or two (2) day delivery in the case of an Investor residing outside of the U.S.).
(e) Delivery of Required Put Documents. On or before the Put Date for such Put, the Company shall deliver the Required Put Documents (as defined in Section 2.3.6 below) to the Investor (or to an agent of Investor, if Investor so directs). Unless otherwise specified by the Investor, the Put Shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Investor in accordance with Section 2.3 by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system.
(f) Limitation on Investor's Obligation to Purchase Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be required to purchase, and an Intended Put Share Amount may not include, an amount of Put Shares, which when added to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then beneficially owned by the Investor as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, would exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, to the extent that inclusion of unissued shares is mandated by Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act) on the Put Date for such Pricing Period (the “Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount”). Each Put Notice shall include a representation of the Company as to the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount on the related Put Date. In the event that the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount is different on any date during a Pricing Period than on the Put Date associated with such Pricing Period, then the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date during such Pricing Period shall govern for purposes of determining whether the number of shares beneficially owned by the Investor following the issuance of the subject Put Shares, would constitute in excess of 9.9% of the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount. The limitation set forth in this
Section 2.3.1(f) is referred to as the “9.9% Limitation.”

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will immediately notify the Investor or its advisors or representatives of the existence of any event or circumstance (without any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware after the Registration Statement is declared effective, constituting material non-public
information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements, therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading and the Company shall, a soon as possible but in any event within four (4) Trading Days of becoming aware of such material non-public information, file with the SEC an amendment to the Registration Statement or, if permitted by law, a supplement to the then-current Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, responsive to such alleged untrue statement or omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable, with copies of the
Registration Statement and related Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, as so amended or modified. The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investor or to its advisors or representatives unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investor and such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such nonpublic information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing any nonpublic information to the Investor hereunder, require the Investor and its advisors and representatives to first enter into a confidentiality agreement (including an agreement with such advisors and representatives prohibiting them from trading in Common Stock during such period of time as they are in possession of material nonpublic
information) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Investor. The Company shall ensure that any information disclosed by the Company to the Investor in connection with the Agreement shall cease to be material non-public information on or prior to the Liquidity Date and that if any material non-public information arises in the future, the Prospectus shall be promptly amended or supplemented to cover such information in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
2.4.2 Disclosure of Misstatements and Omissions. The Investor's advisors or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the Company of any events or circumstances discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of their due diligence

Page - 28
2.4.3 Procedure if Material Facts are Reasonably Believed to be Untrue or are Omitted. In the event after consultation with the Company or its counsel, the Investor or the Investor's counsel reasonably believes that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and the Company, after a request from the Investor, has failed to promptly provide reasonable
information indicating that that the Registration Statement is in fact complete, accurate and current, then
(a) the Company shall promptly file with the SEC an amendment to the Registration Statement or, if permitted by law, a supplement to the then-current Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, responsive to such alleged untrue statement or omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable, with copies of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, as so amended or modified, or
(b) if the Company disputes the existence of any such material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's independent counsel with an outside law firm (who is a member of an Authorized Law Firm when required under the terms hereof) shall provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion, at the Company’s expense, and (ii) in the event the dispute relates to the adequacy of financial disclosure and the Investor shall reasonably request, the Company shall promptly cause its Authorized Auditor to provide to the Investor a Bring Down Cold Comfort Letter outlining the performance of such "agreed upon procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by the
Investor and the Company shall promptly provide the Investor with a copy of such letter.

an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1). Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company was, at one time, a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act, securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the date on which such company filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased being a shell company (and that, in the Company’s case, such Form 10 Information was filed on May 14, 2010), and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange

As a result, shares issued without legend may need to be returned to have such legend affixed to them in the event that the Registration Statement is not effective and the Company ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or fails to file a required report, subject to legend removal once a Legend Removal Condition has again been met.

In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all of its stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person’s agents, members, partners or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any material misrepresentation or omission, or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Prospectus, Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or documents contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any material 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, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim, derivative or otherwise, by any stockholder of the Company based on a breach or alleged breach by the Company or any of its officers or directors of their fiduciary or other obligations to the stockholders of the Company or (d) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against any Indemnitee arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, excluding liability resulting from a breach of the Investor’s representations and warranties or the Investor’s fraud or willful misconduct.
Page - 47
To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which it would be required to make if such foregoing undertaking was enforceable which is permissible under applicable law.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the other party (hereinafter “Indemnitor”) under this Section 8, deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnitor. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, to the extent that such
failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnitor’s ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this Section 8 to the extent it is prejudicial.
9. Miscellaneous.

Investor’s and the Company’s representations and warranties shall survive the Investment Date and any Put Closing contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, or is altered by a term required by the Securities Exchange Commission to be included in the Registration Statement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that if the removal of such provision materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to the Investor, this Agreement shall terminate.

9.10 Fees and Expenses.
(i) Commitment Shares and Fee Shares; Escrow.
(A) In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Investor an amount equal to $150,000 (the “Commitment Fee”)(which represents 2% of the Maximum Offering Amount) plus an amount equal to $10,000 for the Investor’s legal, administrative and due diligence costs (the “Legal/Due Diligence Fee”), each payable as set forth below.
(B) In consideration of the first $75,000 of the Commitment Fee, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor, not later than three (3) Business Days after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, a number (the “Initial First Commitment Share Number”) of shares of restricted Common Stock (the “Initial First Commitment Shares”) having a value equal to $75,0000, based upon a deemed valuation per share (the “Initial First Commitment Share Valuation”) equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding September 1, 2011, which the parties acknowledge was the date of execution of the
Term Sheet between the parties pertaining to this Agreement or (ii) 100% of the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of this Agreement.
(C) In addition, in consideration of the $10,000 Legal/Due Diligence Fee, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor, not later than three (3) Business Days after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, a number of shares of restricted Common Stock (the “Initial Fee Shares”) having a value equal to $10,000, based upon a deemed valuation per share equal to the Initial First Commitment Share Valuation.
(D) In addition, in consideration of the second $75,000 of the Commitment Fee, simultaneously with the issuance and delivery of the Initial First Commitment Shares and the Initial Fee Shares to the Investor, the Company shall issue an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Second Commitment Shares”) equal to the Initial First Commitment Share Number, in the name of the Investor, and shall deposit the Initial Second Commitment Shares (also referred to as the “Escrow Shares”) in trust with its attorney, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, to be held in her lawfirm’s trust account in escrow (the “Escrow Account”) to be disbursed to the Investor in accordance with the terms of
an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to be executed by the parties and the Company’s attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that within three (3) Business Days after the Liquidity Date of the Initial First Commitment Shares (the “Initial Liquidity Date”), there shall be released to the Investor from the escrow a number of the Escrow Shares as required herein. Each Escrow Share delivered to the Investor by the escrow agent shall constitute the delivery of a Second Commitment Share to the Investor by the Company. In addition, at any time prior to the date that the Escrow Shares are delivered to the Investor, the Company shall have the right and option, in its sole discretion, to redeem all of Second
Commitment Shares by a cash payment of $75,000 to the escrow agent, which shall thereupon be promptly disbursed by the escrow agent to the Investor.
Page - 50
(E) In addition, in further consideration of the second $75,000 of the Commitment Fee, not later than three (3) Business Days after the Initial Liquidity Date (as defined herein), the Company shall cause the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Investor up to all of the Escrow Shares, as necessary, and to the extent that the number of Escrow Shares is insufficient, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor an additional number (the “Additional Second Commitment Share Number”) of shares of restricted Common Stock (the “Additional Second Commitment Shares”) such that the total number of Escrow Shares plus the number of Additional Second Commitment Shares delivered to the Investor
(collectively, the “Second Commitment Shares”) shall equal at least $75,0000 divided the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Initial Liquidity Date (the “Initial Liquidity Date Valuation”). Any Escrow Shares (as defined below) that have been delivered to the Investor in accordance with this Agreement shall count toward the number of Second Commitment Shares delivered to the Investor. To the extent that less than all of the Escrow Shares are required to be delivered to the Investor in accordance with the above (i.e. if the Liquidity Date Valuation is higher than the Initial First Commitment Share Valuation), then the escrow agent shall return the undelivered Escrow Shares to the Company.
(F) In addition to the above, in further consideration of the first $75,000 of the Commitment Fee, if any Variable Equity Securities are converted into Common Stock anytime from the date hereof through the Initial Liquidity Date (as defined herein), then not later than three (3) Business Days after the Initial Liquidity Date, the Company shall issue to the Investor an additional number of shares (the “Additional First Commitment Shares”) such that number of Initial First Commitment Shares plus the number of Additional First Commitment Shares (collectively, the “First Commitment Shares”) shall equal at least $75,000 divided by the lesser of (i) the Initial First Commitment Share
Valuation and (ii) the Initial Liquidity Date Valuation. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the Investor be required to return any portion of the First Commitment Shares to the Company.
(G) The certificate(s) representing the Commitment Shares and Fee Shares shall be delivered to the Investor by overnight courier at its address set forth in Section 9.12 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares and Fee Shares shall be fully earned as of the Commitment Closing Date, subject to payment when and as required herein, regardless of whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or declared effective and regardless of whether any Puts are issued by the Company or settled hereunder.
(H) Upon issuance, the Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares shall constitute “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and, subject to the provisions of subsection (iv) of this Section 9.10, the certificate(s) representing the Commitment Shares and Fee Shares shall bear the restrictive legend set forth below in subsection (iii) of this Section 9.10. For purposes of the Rule 144 holding period, the Commitment Shares (including the Escrow Shares and any Additional First Commitment Shares and Additional Second Commitment Shares), and the Fee Shares (including any Additional Fee Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued to the Investor
on the Commitment Closing Date, as that is the date that the Commitment Fee and the Legal/Due Diligence Fee accrue to the Investor and the Rule 144 holding period shall tack back (“Tacking”) to such date even with respect to the Escrow Shares if the Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel (a “Tacking Opinion”) regularly engaged in the practice of securities law to such effect, otherwise there shall be no such tacking. Notwithstanding any Company Termination or Automatic termination, if at any time after the later of (i) the date that is nine (9) months from the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date that is six (6) months after such shares were initially issued, any outstanding Commitment Shares and Fee Shares cannot be sold under Rule 144 without volume restrictions or pursuant to a current and effective Registration Statement for an
aggregate of 10 Trading Days during any 60 Trading Day period (the date of such occurrence, a “Redemption Trigger Date”), the Company shall be required to redeem the affected Commitment Shares and Fee Shares from the Investor, in cash, for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the pro rata portion of the dollar amount of the cash Commitment Fee and Legal/Due Diligence Fee represented by such shares or (ii) the number of Commitment Shares and Fee Shares being redeemed, multiplied by the average of the VWAPS for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the Redemption Trigger Date, payable within three (3) Trading Days of the Redemption Trigger Date. In the event that, any time after their issuance, any Put Shares held by the Investor cannot be sold pursuant to a current and effective Registration Statement or under Rule 144 without volume restrictions for an
aggregate of 10 Trading Days during any 60 Trading Day period (the date of such occurrence, a “Redemption Trigger Date”), the Company shall be required to redeem the outstanding Put Shares from the Investor, in cash, for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price of such Put Shares or (ii) the number of Put Shares being redeemed, multiplied by the average of the VWAPS for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the Redemption Trigger Date, payable within three (3) Trading Days of the Redemption Trigger Date.
Page - 51
(ii) Legends. The certificate representing the Commitment Shares and the certificate representing the Fees Shares, except as set forth below, shall each bear a restrictive legend (“Legend”) in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificate):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER
LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, all Shares to be issued in respect of any Put Notice delivered to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued to the Investor in accordance with Section 2.3 by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, and all such Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without any restrictive legends or restrictions on resale (and no stop-transfer order shall be placed against transfer thereof) assuming such transferor is not and has not been an affiliate of the Company, and the Company shall not take any action or give instructions to any transfer agent of
the Company otherwise.
Page - 52
(iii) Removal of Legend. If either (a) the Registration Statement is Effective, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Company (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Investor), to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Act, or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances (which assurances shall be adequate to the Company or the Company’s counsel) that such Security can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 (each, a “Legend Removal Condition”), then the Company shall, no later than two Trading Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing the Commitment Shares and a legended certificate representing the Fee Shares (each endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), as directed by the Investor, either: (A) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor a certificate(s) representing such Commitment Shares and Fee Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (B) cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC through its
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Commitment Shares and Fee Shares represented by the certificate(s) so delivered by the Investor (the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to the investor or such credit is so required to be made to the account of the Investor or its designee at DTC pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date ”).
9.11 Specific Enforcement, Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial.
(i) The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.
(ii) Governing Law and Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Atlanta, Georgia. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Atlanta, Georgia 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 suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an
inconvenient venue for such proceeding. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or 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 action or proceeding. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
