New Notes are convertible at the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) assuming a Conversion Date (as defined in the New Note) as of the date hereof, (y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the Maturity Date (as defined in the New Note) and will be converted in shares of Common Stock (as defined below) at a conversion price equal to the Alternate Conversion Price assuming a Conversion Date as of the date hereof and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the New Notes set forth in the New Notes), and (ii) the maximum number of New Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the New Warrants set forth therein). Upon issuance or conversion in accordance with the New Notes or exercise in accordance with the New Warrants (as the case may be), the New Conversion Shares and the New Warrant Shares, respectively, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights or Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

4.4 Offering.

The Company shall pay, and hold the Investor harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the Exchange and the issuance of the New Securities. The offer, exchange and issuance, as applicable, of the New Securities as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the qualification or registration requirements of state securities laws or other applicable blue sky laws. Neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemptions.

The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

7.8 Entire Agreement . This Agreement together with the other Exchange Documents, represents the entire agreement and understandings between the parties concerning the Exchange and the other matters described herein and therein and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall amend, modify or waive any term or condition of the other Exchange Documents.

7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

7.10 Interpretation. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, (a) references to the plural include the singular, the singular the plural, the part the whole, (b) references to any gender include all genders, (c) “including” has the inclusive meaning frequently identified with the phrase “but not limited to” and (d) references to “hereunder” or “herein” relate to this Agreement.

7.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

7.12 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Investor contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery of the New Note and New Warrants.

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

7.14 No Strict Construction. 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.

7.15 Independent Nature of Investor’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Investor, and the Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under any Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and Other Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and Other Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement and the Company acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, the Investor and the Other Investors are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement. The Company and the Investor confirm that the Investor has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

7.16 Equal Treatment Acknowledgement; Most Favored Nations. The parties hereto herby acknowledge and agree that, in accordance with Section 9(e) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to present the terms of this offering to each Other Investor; provided that each Other Agreement shall be negotiated separately with each Other Investor and shall not in any way be construed as the Investor or any Other Investor acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities of the Company or otherwise. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to the Exchange, including, without limitation with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement, or waiver relating to any Exchange (each an “Settlement Document”), is or will be more favorable to such Person (other than any reimbursement of legal fees) than those of the Investor and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Settlement Document, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Investor immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Investor or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Investor shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Investor may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Investor as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Investor. The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.
