Article IV
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

(a)    The Investor covenants that the Shares will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  In connection with any transfer of any Shares represented by certificates bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 4.1(b), other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that the Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of customary seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such rule) or (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b) (any such transfer other than those in (i)-(iv), a “Private Transfer”), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of any Private Transfer, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.7, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Article IV and shall have the rights and obligations of the Investor under this Article IV with respect to such transferred Shares.
(b)    The Investor agrees that the following legend shall be imprinted on any certificate evidencing any of the Shares until such time as such legend is not required under Section 4.1(c):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS 
19










AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD (I) EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (b)  Rule 144 under the Securities Act OR (c) ANother AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES; PROVIDED THAT UPON FORECLOSURE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES, SUCH FORECLOSING PERSON OR TRANSFEREE SHALL COMPLY WITH applicable PROVISIONS of THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT pursuant to which these securities were originally issued.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the legended Shares in connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge, but Investor shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer or foreclosure. Investor acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Shares or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between the Investor and its pledgee or secured party. Investor acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a).
The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates representing any Shares (and such Shares shall not be subject to any stop-transfer instructions) if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if the Investor is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Shares for resale, the Investor agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement), (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, the form of substance of which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, that the sale, assignment or transfer of such Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, (iii) such Shares have been or are being sold pursuant to  Rule 144 (as set forth in customary paperwork to such effect), or (iv) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that the Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions (which shall be satisfied if the Investor certifies at such time that (a) it is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as 
20










such term is used under Rule 144), (b) that the Investor’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 with respect to such Shares is at least six (6) months, and (c) Investor will comply with the requirements of Rule 144 in conducting any sale pursuant thereto). Investor specifically agrees that the Company’s legal counsel may rely on the certifications provided in (a)-(c) hereof in rendering its instruction letter to the transfer agent regarding removal of the restrictive legend. The Company agrees that, following such time as any of the foregoing conditions is met, it will, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Trading Days and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the Investor a certificate representing such Shares or, at the request of the Investor, deliver or cause to be delivered the Shares to the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, in each case, free from all restrictive and other legends and stop transfer instructions (or similar notations).   The Investor shall have the right to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder, or otherwise at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock without legend as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


4.2    Lockup Period.  Until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 hereto, and (ii) the date that is six months following the Closing Date (the “Lockup Period”), the Investor shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s prior written consent:
(i)     
(b)    offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant or enter into any option or contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Shares  or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for any of the Shares; or
(c)    enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise;
provided that, (A) if the Investor is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, this Section 4.2 shall not apply to transfers to its stockholders, members, partners or trust beneficiaries as part of a distribution or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is its Affiliate so long as the Investor notifies the Company thereof and the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Section 4.2 prior to such transfer, and (B) this Section 4.2 shall not apply to transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction approved by the Company Board made to all holders of the Common Stock.

The Company hereby agrees that, if, on or at any time after the date that is six months after the Closing Date and through and until the date that is one (1) year following the Closing Date, any of the Shares constitute Registrable Securities, then as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter the Company shall file with the SEC a “shelf” registration statement  (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (or successor thereto or, if the Company is not able to file on such form, on Form S-1 or successor thereto) covering the resale by the Investor (or other holder or holders of the Shares) of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a “plan of distribution” approved by the Investor, shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to thereafter remain effective until there are no longer any Registrable Securities, and shall take all such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary to facilitate the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor (or other holder or holders of the Shares) pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide the Investor with any such material, nonpublic information regarding the Company from and after the filing of the Announcing 8-K Filing without the express prior written consent of the Investor.  The Company understands, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Investor,  its Affiliates and Persons acting on its behalf will rely on the provisions of this Section 4.7 in effecting transactions in the Shares and other securities of the Company and of other Persons, and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Investor nor the Investor’s Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, or any obligation not to trade in any securities while aware of, any material non-public information (i) provided by, or on behalf of, the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of its officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, agents or representatives in violation of any of the representations, covenants, provisions or agreements set forth in this Section 4.7 or (ii) otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by the Investor (or any Affiliate, agent or representative thereof) as a result of any breach or violation of any representation, covenant, provision or agreement set forth in this Section 4.7. 
4.8    Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Investor and the Company shall use commercially reasonable 
23










efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party or parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Legal Requirements to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause the conditions to the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement set forth in Article V to be satisfied; (ii) obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities; and (iii) execute or deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement, including the issuance of the Shares.  The Company and the Investor shall cooperate with one another (x) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) in taking such reasonable actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.
4.9    Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares for general working capital purposes.
4.10    Prohibition on Variable Priced Securities. From the date of this Agreement until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not in any manner issue or sell any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price that varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more resets to a fixed price or increases in the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable, or at a price that upon the passage of time or the occurrence of certain events automatically is reduced or is adjusted or at the option of any Person may be reduced or adjusted, whether or not based on a formulation of the then current market price of the Common Stock (other than proportional adjustments as a result of subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock  or other Stock Events).  
4.11    Company Repurchase. In the event that at any time after the Closing the U.S. government prohibits the ownership of the Shares by Investor, unless otherwise required by such prohibition or by applicable law, the Company shall provide reasonable assistance to the Investor in selling the Shares, including by terminating the Lockup Period set forth in Section 4.2 and waiving the restrictions set forth in such Section. In the event the Investor is unable to sell any or all of the Shares to any third party or parties after using its reasonable best efforts to do so for a reasonable time period, which period shall not be in excess of one hundred and eighty (180) days or such other period in which the Company is obligated to divest the Shares, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably possible after the Investor notifies the Company that the Investor has been unable to sell any or all of the Shares to any third party or parties, repurchase all of the Shares still held by the Investor at the Repurchase Price, unless the Company is prohibited from doing so pursuant to applicable law. In connection with such repurchase, the Company shall pay the Repurchase Price to the Investor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or 
24










accounts designated by the Investor, and the Investor shall execute such stock powers as shall be necessary to surrender the Shares to the Company.  
4.12    Beneficial Ownership Limitation. 
The Company shall not issue to the Investor, and the Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not, following the Closing Date, acquire any shares of Common Stock from any third party to the extent that, upon such issuance or acquisition, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by  the Investor together with any of the Investor’s Attribution Parties (including shares held by any “group” of which the Investor is a member) would exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.9% Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, any repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company or other action by the Company that has the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and thus causing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by  the Investor together with any of the Investor’s Attribution Parties (including shares held by any “group” of which the Investor is a member) to exceed the 9.9% Cap (a “Share Reduction Event”) shall in no event constitute a violation by the Investor of this Section 4.11; provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Investor of the occurrence of any Share Reduction Event.  For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage beneficially owned by the Investor and its Attribution Parties shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

Article VI
INDEMNIFICATION


6.1    Company Indemnification Obligation.  In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each other holder of the Shares entitled to rights hereunder and all of their stockholders, partners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages (unless such action, cause of action, suit, claim, loss, cost, penalty, fee, liability or damage is based upon a breach of Investor’s representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, or any violations by the Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by the Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and expenses in connection therewith, and including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitees as a result of, or arising out of,  (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement, or (iii) any violations by the Company of state or federal securities laws in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder, or any conduct by the Company which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.
6.2    Indemnification Procedures.  Each Indemnitee shall (i) give prompt written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to promptly deliver such notice shall not relieve the Company of any liability, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such claim) and (ii) permit the Company to assume the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that any Indemnitee entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (A) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the Company shall 
28










have failed to assume the defense of such claim within ten (10)  days of delivery of the written notice of the Indemnitee with respect to such claim or failed to employ counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, or (C) based upon the written advice of Indemnitee’s counsel, a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitee and the Company with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of the Indemnitee); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees (in addition to local counsel) and the Company shall only be responsible for reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses.  If the Company assumes the defense of the claim, it shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement or compromise made by the Indemnitee without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In connection with any settlement negotiated by the Company, the Company shall not, and no Indemnitee shall be required by the Company to, (I) enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, or (II) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms any liability, culpability or fault to the Indemnitee. In addition, without the consent of the Indemnitee, the Company shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which provides for any obligation or restriction on the part of the Indemnitee other than the payment of money damages which are to be paid in full by the Company. If the Company fails or elects not to assume the defense of a claim pursuant to clause (B) above, or is not entitled to assume or continue the defense of such claim pursuant to clause (C) above, the Indemnitee shall have the right without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder to, in its discretion exercised in good faith and upon advice of counsel, to contest, defend and litigate such claim, provided, however, that Indemnitee shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect thereof without the prior consent of the Company (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). To the extent that an Indemnitee wishes to seek indemnification under this Article VI, such Indemnitee must provide the Company with written notice asserting a claim under this Article VI, with such notice to be provided within eighteen (18) months from the Closing. If an Indemnitee fails to provide such written notice in respect of any claim within this 18-month period, the Indemnitee shall no longer be entitled to indemnification by the Company hereunder in respect of such claim.


Article VII
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1    Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Investor, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated by the date that is sixty (60) days following the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time, and provided further that no such termination will affect 
29










the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties) and shall not affect any provisions hereof that expressly survive termination in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.2    Fees and Expenses.  Except as expressly set forth herein, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
7.3    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.  At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to the Investor such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties hereunder.
7.4    Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Investor.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
7.5    Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on a Business Day, (b) the next  Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on any Business Day, (c) the Business Day following the date of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses for such notices and communications are those set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address or facsimile number as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by any such Person.
7.6    Construction.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  The language used in this Agreement will be 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.  Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in 
30










either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word “or” shall not be exclusive.  
7.7    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder (except, following the Closing, by merger or in connection with another entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) without the prior written consent of the Investor.  The Investor may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not, following the Closing, be unreasonably withheld), except that the Investor may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more of its respective Affiliates at any time so long as Investor provides prior notice thereof to the Company, and provided that such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Investor of any of its obligations hereunder.
7.8    Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Investor and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, to the extent provided in Article VI, each Indemnitee.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than those Persons mentioned in the preceding sentence or otherwise explicitly mentioned in this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such Persons and for the benefit of no other Person.
7.9    Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR THE INVESTOR, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR THE INVESTOR, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES IRREVOCABLY, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR 
31










DEFEND ANY RIGHTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT) AND SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
7.10    Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, both of which when taken together 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, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.
7.11    Survival.  The representations and warranties of the Company contained herein shall survive the Closing.  The covenants of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall terminate on the Closing Date; provided, that the covenants that by their terms are required to be performed in whole or in part following the Closing Date shall survive the Closing Date.
7.12    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
7.13    Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investor and the Company will be entitled to specific performance hereunder (without posting a bond or other security or proving actual damages).  Each of the parties agrees that monetary damages would 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.
