Subsidiary has been required to collect or withhold have been duly withheld
or

time
has the Company or any Subsidiary been a member of an affiliated, combined,
consolidated or unitary Tax group (other than a group for which the Company

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any currently
effective employment or consulting agreement, deferred compensation arrangement,
bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement or
other
employee compensation plan or agreement. To the Company's knowledge, no employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any consultant with whom the Company
or
any Subsidiary has contracted, is in violation of any material term of any
employment or consulting agreement, proprietary information agreement or
any
other agreement relating to the performance of services by any such individual
for or on behalf of the Company or such Subsidiary because of the nature
of the
business conducted by the Company or such Subsidiary.

Section
3.20 Employee
Benefits.
(a) Schedule
3.20(a)
contains
a true and complete list of each "employee benefit plan" (as defined in
section 3(3) of ERISA) and any other employee benefit or compensation plan,
program, policy, arrangement or agreement, including bonus, deferred
compensation, incentive compensation, severance or termination pay, medical,
life or other insurance, profit-sharing, stock option or other equity-based
incentive compensation, stock purchase, and pension, welfare and fringe benefit
plans, for the benefit of, or relating to, any current or former employee,
director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any Subsidiary
(i) which is or has been sponsored by, entered into, contributed to (or
required to be contributed to), established by, participated in and/or
maintained by the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate or
(ii) under which the Company or any Subsidiary, or any ERISA Affiliate
otherwise has any liability, whether or not such plan is terminated (each,
a
"Plan"
and,
collectively, as the "Plans").
No
Plan covers any Person other than a current or former employee or director
of
the Company or any Subsidiary (and their dependents and beneficiaries), and
no
entity other than the Company or any Subsidiary or sponsors, maintains or
contributes to, or is required to contribute to, any Plan. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has any legally binding formal plan or commitment to create
any additional plan or modify or change any existing Plan, other than as
required to comply with applicable Law.
(b) No
Plan
is subject to section 412 of the Code or section 302 of ERISA or
Title IV of ERISA, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor any ERISA
Affiliate has ever sponsored, contributed to, been required to contribute
to, or
participated in such a plan. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor any
ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under section 412 of the Code or
section 302 of ERISA or Title IV of ERISA that has not been satisfied in
full, and no condition exists that presents a risk to the Company or any
ERISA
Affiliate of incurring a liability under said sections or Title.
(c) No
Plan
provides health, welfare or fringe benefits, including without limitation
death
or medical benefits (whether or not insured), to former employees or directors
or their respective spouses or dependents after retirement or other termination
of service, other than the health continuation coverage that may be required
by
section 4980B of the Code (COBRA) or similar applicable
Law.
25
(d) The
Plans
(and related trusts and insurance contracts) have been maintained, funded
and
administered in all material respects in accordance with their terms and
with
applicable Law (including but not limited to ERISA and the Code). Each Plan
which is intended to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code has
received a determination letter or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue
Service that such Plan is so qualified, and nothing has occurred that could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of such Plan
or
any related trust. Each of the Plans that is intended to satisfy the
requirements of section 125, 423 or 501(c)(9) of the Code satisfies such
requirements.
(e) Each
option that has been issued under any Plan of the Company or any Subsidiary
providing for the issuance of options and that has been exercised has been
properly treated as an incentive stock option under Code section 422 or as
a non-statutory stock option, as applicable. Each option that has been issued
under any Plan of the Company or any Subsidiary providing for the issuance
of
options has had an exercise price at least equal to the "fair market value"
of
the underlying stock (within the meaning and scope of Code section
409A).
(f) With
respect to each Plan, (i) no actions, audits, investigations, suits or
claims against the Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate
or
with respect to any assets of the Plan (other than routine claims for benefits)
are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, (ii) there is
no Order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against or
in
favor of any Plan or any fiduciary thereof (other than rules of general
applicability or domestic relations orders), (iii) no event has occurred
and no condition exists that would subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, either directly or by reason of its affiliation with any ERISA
Affiliate, to any material Tax or any fine, Lien, penalty or other liability
imposed by ERISA or, in connection with any Plan, the Code, (iv) for each
Plan with respect to which a Form 5500 has been required to be filed, no
material change has occurred with respect to the matters covered by the most
recent Form since the date thereof, and (v) no "reportable event" (as such
term is defined in section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any
Plan.
None of the Company, any Subsidiary, any ERISA Affiliate, any of the Plans,
any
trust created thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof has engaged
in
a transaction in connection with which the Company, any Subsidiary, any of
the
Plans, any such trust or any trustee or administrator thereof, could, directly
or indirectly, be subject to a civil penalty assessed pursuant to section
409 or
502(i) of ERISA, a Tax imposed pursuant to section 4975, 4976, 4980B, 4980D,
4980E or 4980F of the Code, or any other similar liability.
(g) With
respect to each of the Plans, the Company has made available to the Purchaser
true and complete copies of (i) the Plan document (including all amendments
thereto), the summary plan description and any summaries of material
modifications, (ii) the trust agreement, (iii) the two most recent
Form 5500 annual reports, actuarial reports and financial statements, if
any
were required to be filed or prepared, (iv) the most recent determination
letter or opinion letter received from the Internal Revenue Service with
respect
to each Plan that is intended to be qualified under the Code and (v) all
material communications to or from the Internal Revenue Service or any other
Governmental Entity relating to each Plan and all material employee
communications with respect each Plan. All contributions required to have
been
made under the terms of any Plan have been timely made and all obligations
in
respect of each Plan have been paid prior to the Closing or are properly
accrued
and reflected on the Latest Balance Sheet to the extent required by GAAP.
26
(h) None
of
the Plans is a "multiemployer plan," as such term is defined in section 3(37)
of
ERISA, a "multiple employer welfare arrangement," as such term is defined
in
section 3(40) of ERISA, or a single employer plan that has two or more
contributing sponsors, at least two of whom are not under common control,
within
the meaning of section 4063(a) of ERISA. None of the Company, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has ever sponsored, contributed to, been
required to contribute to, or participated in any such plan or
arrangement.
(i) Each
Plan
may be amended or terminated without liability to the Company, any Subsidiary
or
any ERISA Affiliate other than for accrued benefits or non-material
administrative expenses. No amounts payable under the Plans, and no payment
made
or other benefit provided, or to be made or provided, to current or former
employees or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary (including pursuant
to
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) will fail to be deductible
for
federal income tax purposes under section 280G of the Code. Each Person who
performs services for the Company or any Subsidiary has been, and is, properly
classified by the respective service recipient as an employee or independent
contractor.
(j) Neither
the execution of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Transaction
Document, either alone or in combination with subsequent events, will result
in,
or is a precondition to, (i) any employee, independent contractor,
consultant or director of the Company or any Subsidiary becoming entitled
to
severance pay or any similar payment, (ii) except for the Incentives
Modifications, the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting, or an
increase in the amount of, any compensation due to any employee, independent
contractor, consultant or director of the Company or any Subsidiary or
(iii) the renewal or extensions of the term of any agreement regarding the
compensation of any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(k) Each
Plan, and each other arrangement to which any of the Company or any Subsidiary
is a party, or with respect to which any of the Company or any Subsidiary
has
any liability or obligations that is subject to Section 409A of the Code
has been operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code,
the Treasury regulations relating thereto and the applicable IRS and Treasury
Department guidance thereunder. None of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement or by any other Transaction Document will constitute or result
in a
violation of Section 409A of the Code.

convertible into or exercisable for capital stock, purchase of assets, license,

Proposal");
(ii)

into or execute any agreement providing for an Alternative Proposal; (iv)
make
or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support
of
any Alternative Proposal or any offer or proposal relating to an Alternative

however,
that
prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, in response to an unsolicited
Superior Proposal (as defined below) or an Alternative Proposal that the
Board

representatives may (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and

a
merger, consolidation, reorganization, share exchange, recapitalization,
liquidation, direct or indirect business combination, or other similar
transaction, which in any such case provides for consideration to the Company's
stockholders consisting of cash and/or securities, and in the case of clause
(i)
or (ii) is
on
terms that the Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation
with
its
financial advisor and outside legal counsel), taking into account all relevant
factors, including
whether such transaction is
subject
to any financing condition or other financing contingencies (including as
to the
funding of any committed financing),
(A)
would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to
the
Company's stockholders from a financial point of view than the PT Acquisition
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the terms
of any
proposal by the Purchaser to modify the terms of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) and (B) is
reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed.
(b) In
the
event that the Company is contacted by any third party expressing an interest
in
discussing an Alternative Proposal, the Company will promptly, but in no
event
later than 24 hours following such contact, notify the Purchaser in writing
of
such contact and the identity of the third party so contacting the Company
and
shall promptly, but in no event later than 24 hours following any material
modification or proposed modification thereto, advise the Purchaser of such
modification or proposed modification.
39
(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section
5.8(a),

time prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Board may (i)

propose to withdraw (or amend or modify in a manner adverse to the Purchaser),
the recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board of this
Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) recommend,
or publicly propose to recommend any Alternative Proposal or Superior Proposal,
or (iii) to the extent permitted pursuant to and in compliance with Section
7.1(d)(ii),
allow
the Company to enter into a binding written agreement concerning a transaction
that constitutes a Superior Proposal, if in the case of any of the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) the Board (or the applicable committee thereof)
determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and
outside legal counsel) that it is required to do so in order to comply with
its
fiduciary duties or otherwise under applicable Law.
(d) Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Board from
taking
and disclosing to the Company's stockholders a position with respect to an
unsolicited bona fide tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant
to Rule
14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 of the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure
required by applicable Law.
Section
5.9 Access.

extent permitted by Law, from the date hereof through the First Tranche Closing
Date, and following the First Tranche Closing Date the Company shall permit
representatives of Perseus (subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.9)
and any
Principal Holder reasonable access to examine the corporate books and make
copies or extracts from such corporate books and to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries with the principal
officers and employees of the Company upon request, all during regular business
hours, as often as Perseus or such Principal Holder may reasonably request;
provided,
however,
that
(i) Perseus, such Principal Holder or their respective representatives, as
the
case may be, shall hold all information so received in strict confidence
pursuant to Section
5.27
and
shall not trade in the Common Shares while in possession of material non-public
information and (ii) the Company reserves the right to exclude the
representatives of Perseus and such Principal Holder (but not the Perseus
Directors) from access to information protected by the attorney-client privilege
in favor of the Company if the Company believes, upon the advice of counsel,
that such exclusions is required to preserve such attorney-client privilege
of
the Company; provided,
further,
that
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide any
requested information to the representatives of Perseus and such Principal
Holder in a manner that would not waive the attorney-client privilege. Perseus'
access rights pursuant to this Section 5.9
(but not
the access rights of any Principal Holder) shall terminate at such time as
Perseus is no longer the beneficial owner of any Securities.

with Accountants.
The
Company authorizes the Perseus Directors to communicate with its independent
public accountants and tax advisors to the same degree afforded to any other
member of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall facilitate

to the last sentence of this Section 5.10)
or any
Principal Holder in the event Perseus or such Principal Holder reasonably
desires to speak with such accountants, and shall authorize those accountants
to
disclose to Perseus or such Principal Holder any and all reasonably requested
financial statements and other supporting financial documents and schedules
(excluding their internal working papers) including copies of any management
letters with respect to the business, financial condition and other affairs
of
the Company and any Subsidiary. Any such information provided to the
representatives of Perseus or such Principal Holder shall be held in strict
confidence pursuant to Section
5.27
and may
additionally be provided to the Company's directors at their request or at
the
Company's own determination. At or before the First Tranche Closing Date,
the
Company shall deliver a letter addressed to such accountants and tax advisors
instructing them to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.10.
Perseus'
access rights pursuant to this Section 5.10
(but not
the access rights of any Principal Holder) shall terminate at such time Perseus
no longer is the beneficial owner of any Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to exclude
the
representatives of Perseus and such Principal Holder (but not the Perseus
Directors) from access to information protected by the attorney-client privilege
in favor of the Company if the Company believes, upon the advice of counsel,
that such exclusions are required to preserve such attorney-client privilege
of
the Company; provided,
however, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
provide any requested information to the representatives of Perseus and such
Principal Holder in a manner that would not waive the attorney-client privilege.
Perseus' access rights pursuant to this Section 5.10 (but not the access
rights
of any Principal Holder) shall terminate at such time as Perseus is no longer
the beneficial owner of any Securities.

including without limitation, nominating the representative identified by

are provided to members of the Board. At least one Perseus Director shall
have

connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board or committees thereof.
The Company shall provide and maintain in effect customary indemnification
(including provisions relating to the advancement of expenses incurred in
the
defense of any action or suit) of the Perseus Directors, and in any event

the date of this Agreement to the members of the Board of Directors pursuant
to
the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, applicable Law or otherwise.
In
addition, the Company shall obtain and maintain in effect a customary officers'
and directors' liability insurance policy covering acts and omissions of
the

(e) At
any
time that the Purchaser is entitled to designate a member of the Board pursuant
to this Section, the Purchaser may elect to substitute in lieu thereof a
Perseus
Observer, or may waive such rights in their entirety. As promptly as practicable
(and in any event no later than 10 Business Days) following the Purchaser's
written request, made at such time as (i) the Purchaser shall have waived
its
right to designate any Perseus Directors and Purchaser's right to a Perseus
Observer; and (ii) no member of the Board is a director, officer, employee
or
partner of the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser, the Company shall

identified by the Purchaser are not elected to the Board by the Company's
stockholders.

of all
Additional Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to

(i)
all First Tranche Common Shares held by such Person, (ii) all Conversion
Shares
held by such Person (including for purposes of this clause (ii) all Conversion

or
sale. With respect to each of Perseus and any Principal Holder, if such Person
does not agree to purchase its pro
rata share
of the
Additional Securities within such 10 day period, then the Company shall have
60
days in which to consummate the transaction contemplated in the Additional
Securities Notice. If such transaction is not consummated within such 60

delivery of a new Additional Securities Notice to Perseus and the Principal
Holder and compliance with this Section 5.24.

shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the principal amount of Notes the
Purchaser is required to submit for prepayment on the Fourth
Anniversary.
(ii) The
Purchaser shall be entitled to select the Note or Notes (or the portions
thereof) for conversion or prepayment pursuant to this Section
5.25.
(iii) The

not be
obligated to submit any Notes for prepayment (or to convert any principal
amount
of Notes in lieu thereof) unless the Market Price as of the Fourth Anniversary
is at least equal to 200% of the conversion price then in effect under the
First
Tranche Note.

Company may not deliver more than one Prepayment Notice.

the
Incentives. At least five Business Days prior to the date on which the Company
files the Proxy Statement with the SEC in preliminary form, the Company shall

shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses,
to assume the defense thereof by notifying the indemnified party in writing
to
such effect within 30 days of receipt of the indemnified party's notice of
such
Third Party Claim; provided,
however,
that
the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent
it if,
in the indemnified party's reasonable judgment, it is advisable to, in light
of
the separate interests of the indemnified party, to be represented by separate
counsel (including, as applicable, local counsel), and in that event the
reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the
indemnifying party and; provided,
further,
that
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such
Third Parry Claim unless (i) the indemnifying party acknowledges fully the
rights of the Indemnified Party (and does not contest, as a whole or in part)
the indemnified party's indemnification rights for the Third Party Claim,
(ii) the counsel selected by the indemnifying party is reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, (iii) the indemnified party is kept
informed of all material developments and is furnished copies of all material
papers filed or sent to or from the opposing party or parties and (iv) the
indemnifying party prosecutes the defense of such Third Party Claim with
commercially reasonable diligence in a manner which does not materially
prejudice the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party
does
not give timely notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the
indemnifying party shall be deemed to have given notice that it does not
wish to
control the handling of such Third Party Claim. In the event the indemnifying
party elects (by notice in writing within such 30 day period) to assume the
defense of or otherwise control the handling of any such Third Party Claim
for
which indemnity is sought, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold
harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all reasonable
professional fees (including attorneys' fees, accountants, consultants and
engineering fees) and investigation expenses incurred by the indemnified
party
prior to such election, notwithstanding the fact that the indemnifying party
may not have been so liable to the indemnified party had the indemnifying
party not elected to assume the defense of or to otherwise control the handling
of such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense
in
accordance with this Section
8.3(b),
the
indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof
and
to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed
by the
indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall
control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party
shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and
shall
be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified
party
in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order,
injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages
against the indemnified party that the indemnified party reasonably determines,
after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related
claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion
of the
Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion
relating to money damages.
61
(c) If
the
indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all
the
indemnified parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.
Such
cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party's
request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information
that
are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees
available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information
and
explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(d) Other
Claims.
In the
event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying
party
under Section 8.1 or 8.2 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being
asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the
indemnified party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness
to the indemnifying party. The failure by any indemnified party so to notify
the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 8.1 or 8.2, except
to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been actually
prejudiced by such failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the
indemnified party within 20 calendar days following its receipt of such notice
that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party
under Section 8.1 or 8.2, such claim specified by the indemnified party in
such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying
party
under Section 8.1 or 8.2 and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of
such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any
notice
in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on
such
later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes
finally determined.

Section
9.8 Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the holders of a majority of the Securities. The Purchaser may
assign
its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns
or

is
furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished
with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee,
(iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such
securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities

and applicable state securities laws, (iv) such transferee agrees in writing
to
be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof
that apply to the "Purchaser," and, if such transferee (or the group of which
such transferee is a part) would be the Principal Holder, the provisions
hereof
that apply to the "Principal Holder," (v) such transfer shall have been made
in
accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and with all
laws
applicable thereto; (vi) the Purchaser's rights under Sections 5.9,

5.19,
5.20,
5.24
and
5.28
may not
be assigned except to a transferee (or group) that would constitute the
Principal Holder and any such assignment shall be an assignment in part and
the
Purchaser shall retain such rights with respect to any Securities retained
by
the Purchaser; and (vii) the Purchaser's rights under Section 5.11
may not
be assigned except as a whole (and not in part) to a transferee (or group)
that
would constitute the Principal Holder.
Section
9.9 Third
Party Beneficiaries.
This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that the Purchaser
Indemnified Person is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 8.1
and
each Company Indemnified Person is an intended third party beneficiary of
Section 8.2, and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of such Sections
directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.
Section
9.10 Rescission
and Withdrawal Rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser
exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to the Purchaser by the
Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform
its
related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the
performance by the Company of the Company's related obligation, the Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written
notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election as a whole
or in
part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
Section
9.11 Replacement
of Securities.
If any
certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction
and
the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit
of
that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for
any
losses in connection therewith. The applicants for a new certificate or
instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party
costs associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities.
65
Section
9.12 Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser hereunder
or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder,
and
such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to
be
refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or
any other person under any Law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall
be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section
9.13 Further
Assurances.
Each
party will do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further
acts and things, and will execute and deliver all other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents, as another 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.
Section
9.14 No
Strict Construction.
The
language used in this Agreement is deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
will
be applied against any party.
Section
9.15 Remedies.
In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein including
recovery of damages, each of the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled
to
seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree
that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred
by
reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and
hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such
obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary restraining
order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
Section
9.16 Survival
of Representations and Warranties.
The
representations and warranties set forth in this agreement shall survive
the
First Tranche Closing and, if applicable, the Second Tranche
Closing.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Pursuant
to this letter agreement, PhotoMedex, Inc. (the “Company”) grants the following
rights to Perseus Partners VII, L.P. (the “Fund”) in connection with the Fund’s
investment in the Company:
(a)
|
to
obtain true and correct copies of all documents, reports, financial
data
and other information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries
as may be
reasonably requested by the Fund;
|
(b)
|
to
consult with and advise the management of the Company and its subsidiaries
at such reasonable times on all matters relating to the operation
of the
Company and its subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the
Fund;
|
(c)
|
to
discuss the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ affairs, finances
and accounts with the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ officers,
directors and outside accountants at such reasonable times as may
be
reasonably requested by the Fund;
and
|
(d)
|
to
visit and inspect any of the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’
properties and facilities, including but not limited to books of
account,
at such reasonable times as may be requested by the
Fund.
|
In
addition to the above rights, the Company agrees to deliver to the
Fund:
-
1 -
(a) |
as
soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of
each of
the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, consolidated
balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end
of such
period and consolidated income and cash flows of the Company and
its
subsidiaries for the period then ended prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (or
applicable international accounting standards) applied on a consistent
basis, except as otherwise noted therein, and subject to the absence
of
footnote disclosures and to year-end adjustments;
|
(b)
|
as
soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of
each
fiscal year of the Company, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company
and its subsidiaries as of the end of such year and consolidated
statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries
for the year then ended prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (or applicable international
accounting standards) applied on a consistent basis, except as otherwise
noted therein, together with an auditor’s report thereon of a firm of
established national reputation; and
|
(c)
|
to
the extent the Company is required by law or pursuant to the terms
of any
outstanding indebtedness of the Company to prepare such reports,
any
annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant
to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or comparable
reports under other applicable law) actually prepared by the Company
as
soon as available.
|
The
Company agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of the Fund
or
the Fund’s designated representatives in connection with the matters on which
the Fund is consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate
discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Company.
In
addition, if at any time the Fund does not have a contractual right (or elects
to waive such contractual right) to designate a member of the Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”), the Fund shall have the right to appoint a
representative to attend meetings of the Board in a non-voting capacity (an
“Observer”), to change the Observer so appointed at any time upon 15 days prior
written notice to the Board and, upon the resignation of the Observer for any
reason, to appoint a new Observer upon written notice to the Board. Further,
the
Company shall provide any such Observer with a copy of any materials to be
distributed or discussed at such meetings at the same time as provided to
members of the Board.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company reserves the right to exclude
the
Fund and the Fund’s designated representatives (other than those that may
otherwise serve on the Board) from access to any material or portion thereof
if
-
2 -
and
only
to the extent the Company believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion
is
reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege of the Company
or
its subsidiaries, to protect highly confidential proprietary information (unless
the Fund and the Fund’s designated representatives enter into a confidentiality
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company) or for substantially similar
reasons.
The
Fund
agrees, and any representative of the Fund will agree, to hold in confidence
pursuant to Section 5.27 of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August
4, 2008 by and between the Company and the Fund, any confidential information
provided to or learned by it in connection with its rights under this letter.
The
rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect
(a) at such time as no shares of the Company’s common stock (or securities
convertible or exerciseable for the Company’s common stock) are held by the Fund
or its affiliates; or
(b) upon the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company that
is effected (i) for independent business reasons unrelated to extinguishing
such rights and (ii) for purposes other than (A) the reincorporation
of the Company in a different state or (B) the formation of a holding
company that will be owned exclusively by the Company’s stockholders and will
hold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company’s successor.
The confidentiality obligations referenced herein will survive any such
termination.
-
3 -
The
rights described herein are granted in consideration of the Fund’s investment in
the Company on or around the date hereof.
Our
signatures below indicate our assent to the terms of this letter agreement
as of
the date set forth above.
