4.3.           No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation, the issuance of the Transaction Securities) will not: (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, except for possible violations, conflicts or defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.  The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries are not being conducted in violation of any law, rule ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any applicable state securities laws, the

Neither the Company nor
 
 
 
-8-
 
 
 
any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since March 31, 2012, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.  There has not been, and to the Company’s Knowledge, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.10.         No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the Transaction Securities to the Investor.  The issuance of the Transaction Securities to the Investor will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities or the Securities Act.

4.11.         No Brokers.  The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
4.12.         Internal Controls.  The Company is in material compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company.  The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed period report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared.  The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).  The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.
 
4.13.         Form D; Blue Sky Laws.  The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Transaction Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Investor promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Transaction Securities for sale to the Investor at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor on or prior to the Closing Date.
 
4.14.         Disclosure.  The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Company understands and confirms that the Investor will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Investor regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
 
 
 
-10-
 
 
 
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.  No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, results of operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor does not make and has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.
 
4.15.         Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.  None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement.  The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the Company’s Knowledge, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company is not aware of any facts which give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to take such measures would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
4.16.         Tax Status.  Except for occurrences that would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.  There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim.  The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4.18.         Manipulation of Price.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Transaction Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Transaction Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.20.         Shell Company Status.  The Company is subject to Rule 144(i)(1)(ii) but has ceased to be an issuer subject to Rule 144(i)(1)(i).  The Company is in compliance with all filing requirements contained in Rule 144(i)(2).
 
4.21.         Title to Properties.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by them, in each case free and clear of any Liens that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or currently planned to be made thereof by them; and except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company and its Subsidiaries hold any leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that would materially interfere with the use made or currently planned to be made thereof by them.

4.23.         Insurance Coverage.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains in full force and effect insurance coverage that is customary for comparably situated companies for the business being conducted and properties owned or leased by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, and the Company reasonably believes such insurance coverage to be adequate against all liabilities, claims and risks against which it is customary for comparably situated companies to insure.
 
4.24.         Investment Company.  The Company is not required to be registered as, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately following the Closing will not be required to register as, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
5.             Registration Rights.
 
5.1.           Mandatory Registration; Piggyback Registration.
 
(a)           Mandatory Registration.  The Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, file a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act with the SEC covering the re-sale from time to time of all of the Registrable Securities, time being of the essence.  The Company shall file the Registration Statement no later than three months after the Closing Date.  The Company will use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 180 days of the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”)), and to keep such Registration Statement effective for a minimum of three years.
 
(b)           Piggyback Registration.  If at any time following the date of this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (i) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities and (ii) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so (but in no event less than
 
 
 
-13-
 
 
 
thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date) and include in such registration (a “Piggyback Registration”) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company’s notice.  Such notice shall offer the holders of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities.
 
(c)           Cut Back Shares.  If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act as a result of a characterization by the SEC of the transaction described by the Registration Statement as a primary offering by the Company or requires the Investor to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that the Investor is not an “underwriter”.  The Investor shall have the right to participate or have its counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have its counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto.  No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Investor’s counsel reasonably objects.  In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 5.1(c), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall, (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415; provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name the Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Investor.  The Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of the provisions of Section 5.1(a) solely as a result of the removal from the Registration Statement of the Cut Back Shares under the circumstances described in, and in compliance with the terms of, this section.  Within six (6) months, or such earlier time as permitted by the SEC, of the initial Registration Statement filed hereunder being declared effective, the Company shall file an additional Registration Statement containing the Cut Back Shares.  With regard to the new Registration Statement, all of the provisions of this Section 5 shall again be applicable to the Cut Back Shares, except that the Effectiveness Deadline for such Cut Back Shares shall be the 90th day following the filing of such new Registration Statement.
 
5.2.           Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, representatives, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other Person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or
 
 
 
-14-
 
 
 
governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto, to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on the Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus.
 
(b)           Indemnification by the Investor.  The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partner, representatives and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Claims resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto.  In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.2 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
 
(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate
 
 
 
-15-
 
 
 
counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.  No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
 
(d)           Contribution.  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.2 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
 
(e)           Other Rights to Indemnification.  The provisions of Section 5.2 of this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.
 
5.3.           Company Efforts.  If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Section 5 to use its best efforts to register any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:
 
 
 
-16-
 
 
 
(a)           Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible after filing (and, in the case of any registration statement being filed under Section 5.1(a) hereof, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and otherwise within 90 days of the filing of such registration statement) and remain effective three years.
 
(b)           Subject to Section 5.1 of this Agreement, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement current and effective for three years and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the sale or disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement required to effect the distribution of the securities.
 
(c)           Furnish to the sellers participating in the offering pursuant to such registration statement, applicable copies (in reasonable quantities) of summary, preliminary, final, amended or supplemented prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents as reasonably may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities, but only while the Company is required under the provisions hereof to keep the registration statement current.
 
(d)           Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the sellers participating in the offering shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable each participating seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions.
 
(e)           Notify each seller selling Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to each such seller selling Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
 
(f)           As soon as practicable after the effective date of the registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months thereafter, make generally available to the sellers participating in the offering an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including, at the Company’s option, Rule 158 thereunder.  To the extent that the Company files such information with the SEC in satisfaction of the foregoing, the Company need not deliver the above referenced earnings statement to such sellers.
 
 
 
-17-
 
 
 
(g)           Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each seller participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each such seller to do such investigation at such seller’s sole cost and expense, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary and for a proper purpose related to the seller offering securities pursuant to the registration statement.  Each seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere unreasonably with the Company’s business when conducting any such investigation and each seller shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Section 5.3(g) confidential.
 
(h)           Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the United States for all such shares of Common Stock covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.
 
(i)           Pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities, whether or not such registration statement shall become effective; provided that each seller shall pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes, and its own counsel and accounting fees, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such seller’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.  As used herein, “Registration Expenses” means any and all reasonable and customary expenses incident to performance of or compliance with the registration rights set forth herein, including, without limitation, (i) all SEC and stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses of or disbursements by the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, and (iv) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the Company’s independent public accountants.
 
(j)           Timely make all filings with FINRA and pay all FINRA filing expenses (including FINRA filing fees) incurred in connection with filings that are required by Rule 5110 of FINRA so that FINRA members may resell Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement without further filings under such rule by them.
 
5.4.           Cooperation by Investor.  The Investor shall furnish to the Company or the Underwriter, as applicable, such information regarding the Investor and the distribution proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5.  The Investor shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with respect to such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the Investor and its plan of distribution of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration statement, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
 
 
 
-18-
 
 
 
5.5.           Specific Performance.  The Company acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 5 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its obligations and agreements contained in this Section 5 may be specifically enforced.  In the event that the Company shall fail to file such registration statement when required pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement or to keep any registration statement effective as provided in this Section 5 or otherwise fails to comply with its obligations and agreements in this Section 5, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies the Investor may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right of rescission, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor from and against any and all manner or loss which it may incur as a result of such failure.  In addition, the Company shall also reimburse the Investor for any and all reasonable legal fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by it in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 5, regardless of whether any litigation was commenced; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one law firm, which firm shall be designated by the Investor.
 
6.             Transfer Restrictions.
 
6.1.           Transfer or Resale.  The Investor understands that:
 
(i)            Except as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion of the Transaction Securities has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and all or any portion of the Transaction Securities may not be transferred unless:
 
(A)           the Transaction Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;
 
(B)           the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Transaction Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;
 
(C)           the Transaction Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Transaction Securities only in accordance with this Section 6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D);
 
(D)           the Transaction Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144; or

The Investor:

9.3.           Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Each party hereto covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties of such party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
 
9.4.           Indemnification.
 
(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.
 
(b)           Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Person of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.4, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final
 
 
 
-23-
 
 
 
judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
 
9.5.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter contained herein.
 
9.6.           Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and, except as expressly provided herein, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
 
9.7.           Current Public Information.  With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, for a minimum of three years from the date of the Closing, if the Investor or its transferees still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) for a minimum of 36 months from the date of the Closing if an Investor or transferee of it still owns any Registrable Securities, and in relation to a proposed sale of the Registerable Securities, furnish to such holder of Registrable Securities, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including without limitation compliance with Rule 144(c) relating to current public information), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a holder to sell any such securities without registration.
 
9.8.           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Company nor the Investor shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, the Investor may, without the consent of the Company, assign its rights hereunder to any Person that purchases Transaction Securities in a private transaction from an Investor or to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act.
 
9.9.           Public Disclosures.  The Company shall on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, within four (4) Business Days after the date of the Closing, file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents that are required to be filed pursuant to those requirements (which
 
 
 
-24-
 
 
 
may include, without limitation, this Agreement and any schedules or attachments to this Agreement) (including any exhibits, the “8-K Filing”).  From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) delivered to the Investor by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Investor, to make the press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Investor shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release).  Without the prior written consent of the Investor (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s sole discretion), the Company shall not disclose the name of such Investor in any filing (other than the 8-K Filing, any Registration Statement registering the Transaction Securities and any other filing as is required by applicable law and regulations), announcement, release or otherwise.
 
9.10.         Amendment; Waivers.  All modifications, amendments or waivers to this Agreement shall require the written consent of both the Company and the Investor.

9.12.         Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
9.13.         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile or electronic (including PDF) transmission, which shall be deemed an original.
