ARTICLE III

PURCHASE TERMS

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the parties agree as follows:

Section 3.1.    VWAP Purchases.

(a) Irrevocable Instructions. Prior to Commencement, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to its Transfer Agent (and thereafter, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any subsequent transfer agent of the Company), irrevocable instructions executed by the Company and acknowledged in writing by the Company’s Transfer Agent (the “Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) directing the Transfer Agent to issue in the Investor’s name in a DRS account or accounts at the Transfer Agent all Shares purchased by Investor, if and when, and in the manner in which, such Shares are purchased in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 3.1(b) below. Upon issuance pursuant to this Agreement, the Shares purchased by Investor in accordance with this Agreement shall constitute “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and the certificate or book-entry statement representing such Shares shall bear the restrictive legend set forth below in Section 10.1(iii). At the time that the Company delivers the Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent a legal opinion or other letter authorizing the Transfer Agent to remove the Securities Act restrictive legends required by Section 10.1(iii) on the Shares that have been resold by the Investor in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with Section 4.12 of this Agreement when the Transfer Agent receives from the Investor the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such resold Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and its legal counsel associated with any such legend removals.

(b) Purchase Notices. Upon the initial satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 (the “Commencement” and the date of initial satisfaction of all of such conditions, the “Commencement Date”) and from time to time thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its timely delivery to the Investor of a VWAP Purchase Notice (with a copy to the Transfer Agent), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, after 6:00 a.m., New York City time, but prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on a VWAP Purchase Date, to purchase the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount, at the applicable VWAP Purchase Price therefor on such VWAP Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement (each such purchase, a “VWAP Purchase”). If the Company timely delivers a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor in accordance with the foregoing sentence and such VWAP Purchase Notice specifies a Target Number, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its timely delivery to the Investor of an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice (with a copy to the Transfer Agent) to purchase during the Intraday VWAP Purchase Period the applicable Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount, at the applicable VWAP Purchase Price, on such VWAP Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement (each such purchase, an “Intraday VWAP Purchase”). During a Trading Day, if the Company did not previously timely deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice on such Trading Day in accordance with this Section 3.1(b), then, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the Company may submit an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor; if the Investor accepts such Intraday VWAP Notice (which it may or may not do so in its sole discretion), the Investor shall purchase up to the Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount as specified in such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice, at the applicable VWAP Purchase Price, on such VWAP Purchase Date and the Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares that are the subject of such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice shall be binding; provided that if the Investor does not accept such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice, then such Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice shall be null and void. The Company may timely deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor as often as every Trading Day (and may deliver a single Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice in any given day, as specified in the previous two sentences or as specified further below in this Section 3.1(b)), so long as all Shares subject to all prior VWAP Purchases and Intraday VWAP Purchases theretofore required to have been received by the Investor on a timely basis (as set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement) have been received by the Investor in accordance with this Agreement. Upon receipt of a VWAP Purchase Notice prepared and delivered by the Company prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, the Investor must notify the Company of its receipt of such VWAP Purchase Notice (email being sufficient) (the “Acknowledgement Receipt”) by 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date. In the event the Company does not receive an Acknowledgement Receipt by 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase, the Company must reforward the previously delivered VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor (email being sufficient) by 10:00 a.m., New York City time. The Investor must also deliver to the Company an Acknowledgement Receipt to indicate its acceptance of any VWAP Purchase Notice delivered by the Company after 9:00 a.m., New York City time. If the VWAP Purchase Termination Time occurs prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date and the Company has delivered to the Investor an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such VWAP Purchase Date, the Investor shall be obligated to purchase, during the Intraday VWAP Purchase Period, the Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount; provided that the Investor will not be obligated to purchase the Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount to the extent that such Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount, when aggregated with the Shares purchased pursuant to the VWAP Purchase Notice applicable to such VWAP Purchase Date would exceed the VWAP Purchase Commitment Amount. If the VWAP Purchase Share Amount (together with the Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount) on any Trading Day exceeds the VWAP Purchase Commitment Amount applicable to that Trading Day, the Investor may, in its sole discretion, purchase any number of Shares that is not less than the VWAP Purchase Commitment Amount and not more than the sum of the VWAP Purchase Share Amount and the Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount for such Trading Day. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall not be required to purchase any number of Shares that is more than the VWAP Purchase Commitment Amount for such Trading Day, and the Investor’s commitment to purchase Shares is subject to the other conditions and limitations (including that in Section 3.4) provided in this Agreement.

(c)    Written Confirmation. At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the VWAP Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase and each Intraday VWAP Purchase, if applicable, the Investor shall provide to the Company and the Transfer Agent a written confirmation for such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase (i) confirming that the Investor’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.11 of this Agreement are true and correct as of such VWAP Purchase Date, and (ii) setting forth the applicable VWAP Purchase Price, the total number of Shares being purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase, the total aggregate VWAP Purchase Price to be paid by the Investor for such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase, the VWAP Purchase Period and (if applicable) the Intraday VWAP Purchase Period, and, if the Investor is purchasing a number of Shares less than the VWAP Purchase Share Amount or Intraday VWAP Purchase Share Amount, the Investor’s calculation of the VWAP Purchase Commitment Amount.

(d) Alternative Share Delivery. If the Investor has resold Shares in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with Section 4.12 of this Agreement prior to the delivery by the Investor to the Company of the written confirmation described in Section 3.1(c) above, the Investor shall concurrently with the delivery by the Investor to the Company of the written confirmation described in Section 3.1(c) above (i) send a confirmation to the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of such Shares that have been so resold and the date of such resales (such confirmation, the “Transfer Agent Confirmation”) and (ii) deliver to the Transfer Agent the items set forth in clause (b) of the definition of DWAC Shares with respect to such resold Shares (collectively, the “Transfer Agent Deliverables”). With respect to Shares resold by the Investor as described in the preceding sentence and as to which the Investor has timely delivered the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such resold Shares, in lieu of delivering such resold Shares to the Investor in accordance with Section 3.2, such Shares shall be delivered and credited by the Transfer Agent using the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program maintained by DTC (or any similar program hereafter adopted by DTC performing substantially the same function) to the account with DTC of the Investor’s designated Broker-Dealer as specified in the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such resold Shares at the time such Shares would otherwise have been required to be delivered to the Investor in accordance with Section 3.2, which Shares (x) shall only be used by the Investor’s Broker-Dealer to deliver such Shares to DTC for the purpose of settling the Investor’s share delivery obligations with respect to the sale of such Shares, which may include delivery to other accounts of such Broker-Dealer and inclusion in the number of Shares delivered by that Broker-Dealer in “net settling” that Broker-Dealer’s trading of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including its positions with the Broker-Dealers of the respective persons who purchase such Shares from the Investor, and (y) shall remain “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act until so delivered. The Company and the Investor acknowledge that, if and when the Investor has (i) resold Shares in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with Section 4.12 of this Agreement and (ii) timely delivered the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such resold Shares, the Transfer Agent shall cause such resold Shares (as applicable) to be subsequently credited using the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program maintained by DTC (or any similar program hereafter adopted by DTC performing substantially the same function) to the account with DTC of the Investor’s designated Broker-Dealer as specified in the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such resold Shares, which Shares (x) shall only be used by the Investor’s Broker-Dealer to deliver such resold Shares (as applicable) to DTC for the purpose of settling the Investor’s share delivery obligations with respect to the sale of such Shares, which may include delivery to other accounts of such Broker-Dealer and inclusion in the number of Shares delivered by that Broker-Dealer in “net settling” that Broker-Dealer’s trading of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including its positions with the Broker-Dealers of the respective persons who purchase such Shares from the Investor, and (y) shall remain “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act until so delivered. The Company and the Investor acknowledge that such resold Shares credited to the account with DTC of the Investor’s designated Broker-Dealer shall be eligible for transfer to the third-party purchasers of such Shares or their respective Broker-Dealers as DWAC Shares.

(e)    Suspension of Purchase Notices. If the Investor has (i) resold Shares in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with Section 4.12 of this Agreement and (ii) timely delivered the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such resold Shares, and such Shares have not been delivered and credited by the Transfer Agent as required by Section 3.1(d), then the Investor may in its sole discretion return such Shares to the Company and the Company shall immediately return any VWAP Purchase Amount that the Investor has paid for any Shares held by the Investor at the time of the disclosure of material, non-public information and the Company’s

right to deliver a subsequent VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall be suspended until such time as (a) such Shares have been delivered and credited by the Transfer Agent as required by Section 3.1(d) or (b) the Company has returned the VWAP Purchase Amount to the Investor for such Shares, as applicable. In the event that the Company’s right to deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor has been suspended pursuant to this Section 3.1(e), the Investor shall provide to the Company written notice of such suspension.

Section 3.2. Payment and Settlement. The Shares purchased by the Investor in an applicable VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase shall be delivered to the Investor not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable VWAP Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase (the “VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that it may not deliver any additional VWAP Purchase Notices to the Investor until all such Shares subject to any previous VWAP Purchases or Intraday VWAP Purchases – other than those to be delivered pursuant to a VWAP Purchase Notice delivered on the same Trading Day or a VWAP Purchase Notice or an Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice delivered on the immediately preceding Trading Day – have been received by the Investor or its designated Broker-Dealer in accordance with this Agreement. For each VWAP Purchase and each Intraday VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase and (b) the applicable VWAP Purchase Price for such Shares (the “VWAP Purchase Amount”), as full payment for such Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase, via wire transfer of immediately available funds, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date for such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase, provided the Investor shall have timely received all of such Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase on such VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.2, or, if any of such Shares are received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, then the Company’s receipt of such funds in its designated account may occur on the Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which the Investor shall have received all of such Shares, but not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such next Trading Day. If the Investor fails to pay the VWAP Purchase Amount when due, the Investor will return such Shares in respect of such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase to the Company.

If the Company or the Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason to (i) deliver to the Investor any Shares purchased by the Investor in a VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date for such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase, or (ii) deliver and credit Shares to the account of the Investor’s designated Broker-Dealer on the Trading Day on which such Shares were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(d), and in the manner in which such Commitment Shares or Shares were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(d), and if on or after such Trading Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock (the “Cover Shares”) to deliver in satisfaction of any sales by the Investor of such Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company on such VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date in respect of such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase or Shares that were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(d), then the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day after the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Investor such Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cover Price over the total purchase price paid or, if not yet paid, required to be paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement for all of the Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase or Shares that were resold by the Investor in the manner described in clause (a) of the definition of DWAC Shares; provided that, to the extent the Investor borrows any shares of Common Stock through any securities lending or similar arrangement (“Borrowed Shares”) instead of purchasing such shares as Cover Shares, the Company shall promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Investor such Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to any securities lending or related fees related to the borrowings of such Borrowed Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock to the Investor in connection with any VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase effected pursuant to this Agreement. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments to be made by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice to the Investor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 3.3.    Compliance with Rules of Principal Market.

(a) Exchange Cap. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of Registrable Shares that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents would exceed 8,727,049 shares of Common Stock (representing 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Original Agreement), which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents under applicable rules of the Principal Market (such maximum number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Original Agreement in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market or such approval is not required in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, but shall be under no obligation to, request its stockholders to approve the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Original Agreement; provided, that if such stockholder approval is not obtained, the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents at all times during the term of this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 3.3(b)). The Investor shall not have the right or obligation to purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by the Investor immediately following such purchase will cause the Investor to have beneficial ownership of more than the number of shares of Common Stock representing 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, unless the Company’s stockholders have approved such purchase of Common Stock in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market or such approval is not required in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market or otherwise.

(b)    At Market Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a) above, the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, solely to the extent that (and only for so long as) the Average Price shall equal or exceed the Base Price (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents at all other times during the term of this Agreement, unless the stockholder approval referred to in Section 3.3(a) is obtained or not required). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Minimum Price used to determine the Base Price hereunder represents the lower of (i) the Nasdaq official closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Market (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) on the date of the Original Agreement and (ii) the average Nasdaq official closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Market (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of the Original Agreement.

(c)    General. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if such issuance or sale could result in or would reasonably be expected to result in (A) a violation of the Securities Act or (B) a breach of the rules of the Principal Market. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.3 unless necessary to properly give effect to the limitations contained in this Section 3.3. Upon delivery of any VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor, the Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Transfer Agent for informational purposes only. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transfer Agent shall not issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice except pursuant to a written confirmation delivered by the Investor to the Company and the Transfer Agent containing the information set forth in Section 3.1(c).

Section 3.4.    Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates (on an aggregated basis) of more than 4.99% of the outstanding voting power or shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day on which the Transfer Agent is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required under this Section 3.4 and the application of this Section 3.4. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.4 unless necessary to properly give effect to the limitations contained in this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5.    Post-Effective Amendment Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not deliver any VWAP Purchase Notices or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notices to the Investor during the Post-Effective Amendment Period and shall comply with the notification provisions regarding amendments to the Registration Statement under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or the Investor’s right to rely on any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the opinions of the Company’s counsel delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement). The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.

The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(e)    The consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents, together with the related notes and schedules, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its then consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated, and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of the Company and its then consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified and have been prepared in compliance with the published requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis. The summary consolidated financial data included or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents present fairly the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents, as of and at the dates indicated. Any pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the pro forma combined financial statements and any other pro forma financial statements or data with respect to any entity to be acquired by the Company (each, an “Acquired Entity”) included or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Article 11 thereof, and the assumptions used in the preparation of such pro forma financial statements and data are reasonable, the pro forma adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the circumstances referred to therein and the pro forma adjustments have been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements and data. To the knowledge of the Company, the historical financial statements of any Acquired Entity, together with the related notes thereto, included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus after the date of the Original Agreement, will fairly present the financial position of such Acquired Entity at the respective dates indicated and the results of operations of such Acquired Entity for the respective periods indicated, in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout such periods.

(f) The other financial and statistical data with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries contained or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents, if any, are accurately and fairly presented and prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements and books and records of the Company. There are no financial statements (historical or pro forma) that are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents that are not included or incorporated by reference as required. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations or any “variable interest entities” as that term is used in Accounting Standards Codification Paragraph 810-10-25-20), not described in Commission Documents which are required to be described in the Commission Documents. All disclosures contained or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents, if any, regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply in all material respects with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, to the extent applicable. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included in the Commission Documents fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Commission Documents has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Disclosure Documents). The Company is not aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees of the Company.

Since the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included in the Disclosure Documents, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Disclosure Documents). The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the board of directors have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls.

The Company has no knowledge of any federal, state or other governmental tax deficiency, penalty or assessment which has been, or is reasonably likely to be, asserted or threatened against it which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.43. Acknowledgement Regarding Investor’s Acquisition of Shares; Affiliate Relationships. The Company acknowledges and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s-length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor will be deemed to be a statutory “underwriter” with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with interpretive positions of the Commission and the Investor is a “trader” that is registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor and its representatives are not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity, except as noted above) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and any advice given by the Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection therewith is merely incidental to the Investor’s acquisition of the Shares. The Company further represents to the Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company and its representatives. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has not made and does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than those specifically set forth in Article IV.

Affiliates of the Investor engage in a wide range of activities for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, including corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, merchant banking, equity and fixed income sales, trading and research, derivatives, foreign exchange, futures, asset management, custody, clearance and securities lending. In the course of its business, affiliates of Investor may, directly or indirectly, hold long or short positions, trade and otherwise conduct such activities in or with respect to debt or equity securities and/or bank debt of, and/or derivative products relating to, the Company. Any such position will be created, and maintained, independently of the position Investor takes in the Company, and Investor. In addition, at any given time affiliates of Investor may have been and/or be engaged by one or more entities that may be competitors with, or otherwise adverse to, the Company in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and affiliates of Investor may have or may in the future provide investment banking or other services to the Company in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Activities of any of Investor’s affiliates performed on behalf of the Company may give rise to actual or apparent conflicts of interest given Investor’s potentially competing interests with those of the Company. The Company expressly acknowledges the benefits it receives from Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, on the one hand, and Investor’s affiliates’ activities, if any, on behalf of the Company unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, on the other hand, and understands the conflict or potential conflict of interest that may arise in this regard, and has consulted with such independent advisors as it deems appropriate in order to understand and assess the risks associated with these potential conflicts of interest. Consistent with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, applicable affiliates of the Investor have adopted policies and procedures to establish and maintain the independence of their research departments and personnel from their investment banking groups and Investor.

Section 6.1.    Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission and the Principal Market, if and as applicable, in accordance with their respective rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and shall take all necessary action, undertake all proceedings and obtain all registrations, permits, consents and approvals for the legal and valid issuance of the Shares to the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, as applicable.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Commencement Date, the Company shall have reserved, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Cap solely for the purpose of effecting VWAP Purchases and Intraday VWAP Purchases under this Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for the purpose of effecting VWAP Purchases and Intraday VWAP Purchases under this Agreement may be increased from time to time by the Company from and after the Commencement Date, and such number of reserved shares may be reduced from and after the Commencement Date only by the number of Shares actually issued, sold and delivered to the Investor pursuant to any VWAP Purchase or Intraday VWAP Purchase effected from and after the Commencement Date pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.3.    Registration and Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock to continue to be registered as a class of securities under Sections 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and to comply with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock and the listing of the Shares to be issued, sold and delivered in respect of each VWAP Purchase and Intraday VWAP Purchase effected under this Agreement hereunder on the Principal Market and to comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. The Company shall not take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. If the Company receives any notice that the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market shall be terminated on a date certain, the Company shall promptly (and in any case within 24 hours) notify the Investor of such fact in writing and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock to be listed or quoted on another Principal Market.

Section 6.4.    Compliance with Laws.

(a)    During the Investment Period, the Company shall comply with applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M thereunder, applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and applicable listing rules of the Principal Market, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect or the ability of the Investor to sell or resell shares of Common Stock under the Registration Statement in any material respect.

(b)    The Investor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and its investment in the Shares, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into this Agreement and to purchase or acquire the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof in any material respect.

Section 6.6.    No Frustration; No Specified Transactions; No Equity Lines of Credit.

(a)    No Frustration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Shares or any other shares of Common Stock or the Company’s other securities; or (2) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that such Restricted Person may purchase under a pending VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice but has not yet received from the Company or the Transfer Agent pursuant to this Agreement, so long as (X) such Restricted Person (including the Investor or any Broker-Dealer it designates, as applicable) delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice or Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer promptly upon such Restricted Person’s receipt of such Shares from the Company in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement or (Y) the Company or the Transfer Agent fails for any reason to deliver such Shares to the Investor or any Broker-Dealer it designates so that such Shares are received by the Investor on the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, within the time period specified for receipt of such Shares by the Investor or its Broker-Dealer from the Company or the Transfer Agent.

Section 6.12. Non-Public Information. Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall disclose any material non-public information about the Company to the Investor, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD.

The Investor shall, from time to time, provide the Company and the Transfer Agent with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably requested by the Company.

provided, however, that this indemnity in (a) shall not apply to any Claim to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact in a Commission Document, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor for the Investor expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit B to the Registration Rights Agreement is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement), (b) incurred or suffered to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission of a material fact, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact, (c) incurred or suffered in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission (whether or not a party), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (a) or (b) above, (d) as a result of, relating to or arising out of any breach by the Company of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, or (e) as a result of, relating to or arising out of any other action, suit, claim or proceeding against an Investor Party arising out of or otherwise in connection with the Transaction Documents (except that with respect to this Subsection (e) only, solely to the extent any Indemnified Damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, not subject to further appeal, to have resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its gross negligence or willful or reckless misconduct).

The Company agrees to promptly notify the Investor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons in connection with the issue and sale of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

The Company shall reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1.

Section 9.2.    Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice as evidenced by the forfeiture of by the Company of substantive rights or defenses. The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Investor Party. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding unless (1) the employment of counsel by the Investor Party has been authorized in writing by the Company, (2) the Investor Party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or another Investor Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of outside counsel to the Investor Party) between an Investor Party and the Company (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Investor Party) or (4) the Company has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the Company. It is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such similarly situated Investor Parties. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this section (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(b)    To    the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights, obligations and undertakings by the Company set forth in Section 9.1 are unavailable to Investor in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding harmless or exonerating Investor, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Investor for losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever), in connection with any actual or threatened proceeding without requiring Investor to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Investor. However, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, any liability Investor may have arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents or the Commission Document (or any amendment thereto), for loss or damage to which any other persons have also contributed, shall be several, and not joint, and shall be limited to the fees Investor actually receives pursuant to this Agreement, and in no event shall the Investor be obligated to contribute any amount to the Company in excess of the aggregate discount to the VWAP for all purchases made by the Investor under this Agreement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful or reckless misconduct. No exclusion or limitation on the liability of other responsible persons imposed or agreed at any time shall affect any assessment of Investor’s liability hereunder, nor shall settlement of or difficulty enforcing any claim, or the death, dissolution or insolvency of any such other responsible persons or their ceasing to be liable for the loss or damage or any portion thereof, affect any such assessment. Investor does not accept liability to any third party. For purposes of this Section 9.2(b), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, any affiliates of the Investor Party and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of the Investor Party or any of its affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9.2(b), will notify any such party

or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 9.2(b) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 9.2(a) hereof. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Investor (or would be if joined in such proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims against Investor.

The remedies provided for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1.    Certain Fees and Expenses; Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.

(i)    Certain Fees and Expenses. Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except that (i) the Company shall have paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor (or to an account designated by the Investor’s counsel) prior to the Closing Date, a non-accountable and non-refundable document preparation fee of $350,000, exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (the “Document Preparation Fee”) and (ii) the Company will reimburse the fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Investor in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in connection with the entry into the Transaction Documents and the review of the Initial Registration Statement and $25,000 per fiscal quarter in connection with the Investor’s ongoing due diligence and review of any registration statements (including any supplements or amendments thereto) and deliverables subject to Section 6.16 (in each case, with any unused amounts of such dollar amounts being rolled forward to and available to be used in subsequent fiscal quarters until used). The Company shall pay all U.S. federal, state and local stamp and other similar transfer and other taxes (other than income taxes) and duties levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto. All of the Document Preparation Fee shall be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether the Commencement occurs or whether any VWAP Purchases or Intraday VWAP Purchases are made or settled hereunder or any subsequent termination of this Agreement.

(ii) Commitment Shares. In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Original Agreement concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Original Agreement on the Closing Date, the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent to issue to the Investor, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date, one or more certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing the Commitment Shares in the name of the Investor or its designee (in which case such designee name shall have been provided to the Company prior to the Closing Date). Such certificate or book-entry statement has been delivered to the Investor by overnight courier at its address set forth in Section 10.4. Upon issuance pursuant to this Section 10.1(ii), the Commitment Shares constituted “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 10.1, the certificate or book-entry statement representing the Commitment Shares bore the restrictive legend set forth below in Subsection (iii) of this Section 10.1. The Commitment Shares constitute Registrable Securities and were included in the Initial Registration Statement and shall be included in any post-effective amendment thereto, and the Prospectus included therein, and, if necessary to register the resale thereof by the Investor under the Securities Act, in any New Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and the Prospectus included therein, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares and the entire amount have been fully earned by the Investor and were non-refundable as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether any VWAP Purchases or Intraday VWAP Purchases are made or settled hereunder or any subsequent termination of this Agreement.

(iii)    Legends. The certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing the Commitment Shares issued prior to the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement and any other Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, except as set forth below, bore or shall bear, as applicable, the restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and stop transfer instructions may be placed against transfer of any such Shares):

    THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM).

(iv) Notice of Effectiveness. On the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement and prior to Commencement, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to its Transfer Agent the notice of effectiveness in the form attached as an exhibit to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Notice of Effectiveness”) relating to the Initial Registration Statement executed by the Company’s outside counsel. With respect to any post-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment to any New Registration Statement, in each case declared effective by the Commission after the Commencement Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to its Transfer Agent (and thereafter, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any subsequent transfer agent of the Company) the Notice of Effectiveness, in each case modified as necessary to refer to such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment and the Registrable Securities included therein.

(v)    Removal of Legends from Rule 144 Shares. Upon the written request by the Investor to the Company if, at the time of such request, the Investor (i) is not, and has not been during the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company, (ii) has held the Commitment Shares or Shares subject to such request for at least one year as determined in accordance with Rule 144, (iii) all of the other requirements of Rule 144 for the resale of the Commitment Shares or Shares subject to such request are satisfied, and (iv) concurrently with such request, delivers to the Company, its counsel and the Transfer Agent a written certification that the requirements set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) are accurate, the Company shall, no later than one (1) Trading Day following the delivery by the Investor to the Transfer Agent of one or more legended certificates or book-entry statements representing the Commitment Shares or Shares (as applicable) subject to such request, together with such other documentation from the Investor and its designated Broker-Dealer as the Transfer Agent deems necessary and appropriate, authorize the Transfer Agent to remove the Securities Act restrictive legend (and any stop transfer instructions placed against transfer thereof) contemplated by Section 10.1(iii) affixed to the Commitment Shares or Shares (as applicable) subject to such request. At the times the Company authorizes the removal of the Securities Act restrictive legends on the Commitment Shares or Shares (as applicable) subject to such request (and any stop transfer instructions placed against transfer thereof) pursuant to this Section 10.1(v), the Company shall, at its sole expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to issue to the Transfer Agent a legal opinion or direction letter authorizing the Transfer Agent to remove the Securities Act restrictive legends contemplated by Section 10.1(iii) on the Commitment Shares or Shares (as applicable) subject to such request (which legal opinion or direction letter may be delivered to the Transfer Agent in advance setting forth the conditions to the removal of such legends). The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and its legal counsel associated with any such legend removals.

Section 10.2.    Specific Enforcement, 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.

Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(iii)    EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

Section 10.13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file, including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com, www.echosign.adobe.com, etc., shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.

Section 10.15.    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 10.16.    Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
