(v) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and each subsidiary possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or other applicable (including foreign) regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could result in a Material Adverse Change.

(w) Transactions With Affiliates. Since December 31, 2009, there has not been any material transactions or loans (including guarantees of any kind) between (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than loans or advances made in the ordinary course of business to the Company’s subsidiaries to fund the operation of the Company’s business as such business is described in the 1934 Act Reports) and (ii) other persons that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(x) Insurance. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries are insured by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither of the Company nor any subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(y) No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, has made any contribution or other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state or foreign office in violation of any law.

(z) Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Deficiencies in or Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared; (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of a date within 90 days prior to the earlier of the date that the Company filed its most recent annual or quarterly report with the Commission and the date of the Management Presentation; and (iii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. Based on the most recent evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company is not aware of (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is not aware of any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(aa) Employee Relations. Except as disclosed in the 1934 Act Reports and the Collective Labor Contract between The Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Construccion, Similares y Conexos del Estado de Oxaca, C.T.M. and Golden Xxxxx Resources, S.A. de C.V. notarized on May 11, 2009, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company and each of its subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours. No strike, work stoppage or material work slowdown by employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the best knowledge of the Company, is contemplated or threatened. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. To the Company's knowledge, no executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, with any Person other than the Company or such Subsidiary, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

(bb) Title to Properties. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of the real and personal property and other assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 3(h) above (or elsewhere in the Management Presentation and the 1934 Act Reports), in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, charges, encumbrances, adverse claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such subsidiary. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such subsidiary. The Company and its subsidiaries hold either freehold title, mining leases, mining claims, mining concessions or other conventional property, proprietary or contractual interests or rights, recognized in the jurisdiction in which a particular property is located in respect of the ore bodies and minerals located in properties in which the Company and its subsidiaries have an interest as described in the Management Presentation and the 1934 Act Reports under valid, subsisting and enforceable title documents or other recognized enforceable agreements or instruments which are currently sufficient to permit the Company and its subsidiaries to explore the minerals relating thereto, with only such exceptions as do not materially interfere with the use by the Company or its subsidiaries of the rights or interests so held.

(cc) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess sufficient trademarks, service marks, trade names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, domain names, licenses, approvals, trade secrets, inventions, know-how (including unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), licenses and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted; and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received, or has any reason to believe that it will receive, any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, the Company is not and will not be a party to or be bound by any material options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person except as described in the 1934 Act Reports. None of the technology employed by the Company has been obtained or is being used by the Company in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons.

(dd) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance. None of the Company or any of its subsidiaries nor, to the best knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that has resulted or would result in a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Company and its subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of the Company, the Company’s any directors, officers, agents, employees, affiliates or other persons acting on behalf of the Company have conducted their respective businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

(ee) Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are, and have been conducted at all times, in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar applicable rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(ff) OFAC. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the best knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of this offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

(gg) Compliance With Environmental Laws. Except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change, (i) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any federal, state, foreign or local statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law or any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or administrative order, consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of human health, the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) or to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries have all permits, authorizations and approvals required under any applicable Environmental Laws and are each in compliance with their requirements, (iii) there are no pending or threatened administrative, regulatory or judicial actions, suits, demands, demand letters, claims, liens, notices of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (iv) there are no events or circumstances that might reasonably be expected to form the basis of an order for clean-up or remediation, or an action, suit or proceeding by any private party or governmental body or agency, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental Laws.

(hh) Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(ii) Tax Law Compliance. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal and state income and franchise tax returns and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them. The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 3(h) above in respect of all federal and state and income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries has not been finally determined.

(jj) Company’s Accounting System. The Company makes and keeps accurate books and records and maintains a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets; (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 existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(kk) Compliance With ERISA. The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or their ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b),(c),(m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”) of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(ll) No Outstanding Loans or Other Extensions of Credit. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has extended or maintained credit, arranged for the extension of credit, or renewed any extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan, to or for any director or executive officer (or equivalent thereof) of the Company and/or such subsidiary except for such extensions of credit as are (i) expressly permitted by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or (ii) fully repaid, discharged, forgiven or otherwise no longer outstanding or owing in any way on the date of this Agreement.

(mm) Compliance with Laws. The Company has not been advised, and has no reason to believe, that it and each of its subsidiaries are not conducting business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, except where failure to be so in compliance would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

(nn) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M, etc. The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Shares or any other “reference security” (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act (“Regulation M”)), whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M or facilitate any short-selling of the securities offered or the underlying securities by Purchasers.

(oo) Company Not an “Investment Company.” The Company has been advised of the rules and requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”). The Company is not, and after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of Investment Company Act and will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

Section 4. Covenants.

(a) Reasonable Best Efforts. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

(b) Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to comply with any applicable state securities and “Blue Sky” laws in connection with the sale of the Shares. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares 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), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Shares required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

(c) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Shares (less the fees and expenses of the offering) will be used by the Company substantially in the manner described in the Management Presentation under the caption titled “Use of Proceeds.”

(d) Financial Information. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company agrees to promptly send the following to each Holder (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), unless the following are filed with the Commission through XXXXX and are available to the public through the XXXXX system, (i) a copy of its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any Current Reports on Form 8-K and any registration statements (other than on Form S-8) or amendments filed pursuant to the Securities Act, and (ii) copies of any notices and other information made available or given to the stockholders of the Company generally.

(e) Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers.

(f) General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates have engaged, or will engage, directly or indirectly in any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” in connection with the offering of the Shares (as those terms are used in Regulation D) under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2); and the Company has not entered, and will not enter, into any arrangement or agreement with respect to the distribution of the Shares, except for this Agreement, the Engagement Letter with the Placement Agent and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Company agrees not to enter into any such arrangement or agreement.

(g) Integration. The Company and its Affiliates will not directly or indirectly sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the sale of any of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of any of the Shares.

(h) Publicity. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement, filing or other communication regarding the offering or the business, operations or financial condition of the Company without the prior consent of the Company (as applicable), except to the extent required by law or legal process, in which case the Purchaser shall provide the Company with prior notice of such disclosure a reasonable time prior to such proposed disclosure; provided that Purchaser may communicate to prospective subsequent purchasers of the Shares information that has previously been made public by the Company so long as such communication could not be deemed to be a general solicitation under the Securities Act. The Company agrees that it will not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser or include the name of any Purchaser, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, in any press release or other public statement, filing or other communication, except (a) in any registration statement in which such Purchaser is identified as a selling securityholder, or (b) to the extent required by law or legal process, in which case the Company shall provide such Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure.

(i) Reporting Status. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination.

(j) Internal Revenue Service Forms. Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a properly completed and duly executed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 that establishes a complete exemption from United States withholding tax. Each Purchaser will provide replacement forms on the obsolescence of such forms or inaccuracy of any information thereon.

(k) Issuance Limitation. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the 90th following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, or agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange or reserve, agree to or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange (other than (i) Common Stock issued pursuant to employee benefit plans, qualified stock option plans or other employee compensation plans existing on the date hereof and disclosed in the 1934 Act reports, (ii) pursuant to currently outstanding options that have been disclosed in Section 3(j) hereof or (iii) pursuant to a rights plan adopted by the Company), (1) any shares of Common Stock, (2) any other equity security of the Company, including without limitation shares of preferred stock, (3) any other security of the Company which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company, or (4) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such security described in the foregoing clauses (1) through (3).

Section 5. Conditions to the Company’s Obligation to Sell.

The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Shares to the Purchasers at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing the Purchaser with prior written notice thereof:

(a) Each Purchaser shall have executed each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and delivered the same to the Company.

(b) Each Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company each such Purchaser’s Investment Amount at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire instructions, in respect of each Purchaser, as set forth on Schedule B hereto.

(c) The representations and warranties of each Purchaser shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), and each Purchaser shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by such Purchaser at or prior to the Closing Date.

(d) No injunction, restraining order, action or order of any nature by a governmental or regulatory authority shall have been issued, taken or made or no action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any federal, state or foreign governmental or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction that would, prior to or as of the Closing Date, prevent or materially interfere with the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 6. Conditions to the Purchasers’ Obligation to Purchase.

The obligation of each Purchaser hereunder to purchase the Shares at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Purchasers’ several and sole benefit and may be waived by each Purchaser at any time in such Purchaser’s sole discretion by providing the Company with prior written notice thereof:

(a) The Company shall have executed and tendered, or caused to be delivered, to the Closing Agent to be held on behalf of the Purchaser (i) each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and (ii) the Shares being purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser.

Each Purchaser or its agent shall have received certificates, executed by an authorized officer of the Company (solely in his capacity as such, and not in his individual capacity), dated as of the Closing Date, to the foregoing effect. The statements of the Company and its officers made in any certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date.

(b) Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7(a), the representations and warranties of the Purchaser and the Company contained in Sections 2 and 3, respectively, of this Agreement and covenants set forth in Sections 4 and 8 shall survive the Closing.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) In consideration of each Purchaser’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Shares thereunder and in addition to all of the other obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and such Purchasers’ stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”), as incurred, 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 attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from:

(ii) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby;

(iii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Shares; or

(iv) the status of the Purchaser or holder of the Shares as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;

provided that indemnification pursuant to this clause (a) shall not be available to the extent arising primarily from a Purchaser’s bad faith, breach of the Transaction Documents, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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 is permissible under applicable law. If a third party claim in respect of Indemnified Liabilities involves more than one Indemnitee, the Indemnitees shall conduct the defense through the same legal counsel, at indemnitor’s expense, acceptable to all Indemnitees, provided that an Indemnitee may employ separate counsel, at indemnitor’s expense, if representation by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to differing interests between the Indemnitees.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation), such Indemnitee will, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company (as applicable) in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Company (as applicable) will not relieve it from any liability which the Company may have to any Indemnitee to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnitee, and it notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect, by written notice delivered to such Indemnitee promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the defendants (including any impleaded parties) in any such action include both the Indemnitee and the Company and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnitees which are different from or additional to those available to the Company, the Indemnitee or Indemnitees shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such Indemnitee or Indemnitees. Upon receipt of notice from the Company to such Indemnitee of its election to so appoint counsel to defend such action and approval by the Indemnitee of such counsel, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless:

(i) the Indemnitee shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expense of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), approved by the Indemnitee representing the Indemnitees who are parties to such action);

(ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice or commencement of the action;

(iii) the Company has authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee at the expense of the Company; or

(iv) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest.

The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of guilt of, or failure to act by, the Indemnitee, or include any injunctive relief against any Indemnitee. Subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence, the Company shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or the consent to the entry of judgment in connection with any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action other than a judgment entered with the consent of such Indemnitee, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If at any time an Indemnitee shall have requested that the Company shall reimburse the Indemnitee for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section and to which it would be entitled under paragraph (a) of this Section hereof, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if: (1) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Company of such request for reimbursement, (2) the Company shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 45 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) Company shall not have reimbursed such Indemnitee in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement (unless such reimbursement is disputed in good faith). Each Indemnitee shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation arising therefrom.

Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser 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 this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, 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 Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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 hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.

(d) Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Purchasers representing a majority of the Shares purchased or to be purchased, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section shall be binding on all Purchasers and all holders of the Shares purchased under this Agreement, as applicable. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party from whom such waiver is requested, except that the Closing Agent may waive a condition precedent on behalf of the Purchaser.

(e) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements among the parties hereto and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, none of the parties hereto makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party shall assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.

(h) Counterparts; Facsimile Copies. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

(i) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, unenforceable, illegal or void in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, unenforceability, illegality or voidness shall not affect the validly or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. In that case, the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining provisions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(j) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(k) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person except as provided in the next paragraph.
