Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Securities.

(f) Acknowledgment Regarding the Purchasers' Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(h) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause this offering of Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Purchaser, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein.

6.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Shares. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, including by merger or consolidation, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser which purchased at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Shares on the Closing Date, or their assigns. The rights under this Agreement are assignable by a Purchaser without the consent of the Company; provided, however, that any such assignment shall not release the Purchaser from its obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee and the Company has consented to such assignment and assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, Purchaser shall be entitled to pledge the Shares in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Shares.

Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
6.10. Publicity. The Company and the Purchaser shall have the right to approve before issuance any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Purchaser, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions as the Company reasonably believes, after consulting with its counsel, to be required by applicable law and regulations (although the Purchaser shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof).
6.11. 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 the 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.
6.12. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Purchaser on or before one (1) Business Day after the Closing Date, due to the Company's or the Purchaser's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 above (and the non-breaching party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the non-breaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.
6.13. Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that it has not engaged a placement agent in connection with the sale of the Shares.
6.14. Remedies. Each Purchaser and each holder of the Shares shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
6.15. Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company's securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly disclosed. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.
