(b) The Company owns (or otherwise has the right to use the Intellectual Property pursuant to a valid license, sublicense or other agreement), free and clear of all Liens, and has the unrestricted right (subject to any such license terms, if applicable) to use, sell, license, or sublicense all Intellectual Property.
(c) To the Company’s knowledge, all the Company’s Intellectual Property rights are valid and enforceable. The Company has taken reasonable actions to maintain and protect each item of Intellectual Property owned by the Company.
6.11Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Neither the Company nor any entity which is or was under common control with the Company within the meaning of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code maintains or contributes to, or has within the preceding six years maintained or contributed to, or may have any liability with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title IV of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 412 of the Code or any “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of the Code or ERISA. Each employee benefit plan, arrangement, policy, program, agreement or commitment which the Company maintains, contributes to or may have any liability in respect to (each, a “Plan”) has been established and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms, and
- 9 -
complies in form and in operation with the applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and other applicable Requirements of Law. No claim with respect to the administration or the investment of the assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending. No event has occurred in connection with which the Company or any Plan, directly or indirectly, could be subject to any material liability under ERISA, the Code or any other law, regulation or governmental order applicable to any Plan, or under any agreement, instrument, statute, rule of law or regulation pursuant to or under which the Company has agreed to indemnify any person against liability incurred under, or for a violation or failure to satisfy the requirement of, any such statute, regulation or order. The Company has no material liability, whether absolute or contingent, including any obligations under any Plan, with respect to any misclassification of any person as an independent contractor rather than as an employee.
(b) The Company does not have any obligations to provide or any direct or indirect liability, whether contingent or otherwise, with respect to the provision of health or death benefits to or in respect of any former employee, except as may be required pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and the corresponding provisions of ERISA and the cost of which are fully paid by such former employees.
6.12Investment Company. The Company is not an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
6.13Private Offerings. Assuming the truth of each Purchaser’s representations and acknowledgments contained in Section 5 hereof, neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf (other than the Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representations) has offered or sold the Units by means of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act. The Company has not sold Units to anyone other than the Purchasers.
6.14Broker’s or Finder’s Commissions. Except as set forth in the Memorandum, no finder, broker, agent, financial person or other intermediary has acted on behalf of the Company in connection with the sale of the Units by the Company or the consummation of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has not had any direct or indirect contact with any other investment banking firm (or similar firm) with respect to the offer of the Units by the Company to the Purchasers or the Purchasers’ subscriptions for the Units.
6.15Disclosure. The Transaction Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company does not have any knowledge of any fact that has specific application to the Company (other than general economic or industry conditions) and that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
The Company certifies that each of the foregoing representations and warranties by the Company set forth in this Section 6 are true as of the date hereof and shall survive such date as contemplated in Section 7.1.
7.Indemnification.
7.1 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, general and limited partners, principals, agents and attorneys (individually, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, Liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party may become
- 10 -
subject, insofar as such Losses arise out of or result from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of the Company to fulfill any agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement. All of the representations and warranties of the Company made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the date that is one year after the Closing Date, except for (a) Sections 6.1 (Organization, Good Standing and Qualification), 6.2 (Capitalization), and 6.3 (Corporate Power, Authorization; Enforceability), which representations and warranties shall survive indefinitely (or if indefinite survival is not permitted by law, then for the maximum period permitted by applicable law), (b) Section 6.9 (Taxes), which representation and warranty shall survive until the later to occur of (i) the lapse of the statute of limitations with respect to the assessment of any tax to which such representation and warranty relates (including any extensions or waivers thereof) and (ii) sixty (60) days after the final administrative or judicial determination of the Taxes to which such representation and warranty relates, and no claim with respect to Section 6.9 may be asserted thereafter with the exception of claims arising out of any fact, circumstance, action or proceeding to which the party asserting such claim shall have given notice to the other parties to this Agreement prior to the termination of such period of reasonable belief that a tax liability will subsequently arise therefrom, and (c) Section 6.8 (Environmental Matters), which representation and warranty shall survive until the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. Except as set forth herein, all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company shall survive the Closing indefinitely (or if indefinite survival is not permitted by law, then for the maximum period permitted by applicable law).
7.2 Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, general and limited partners, principals, agents and attorneys (individually, a “Company Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Company Indemnified Party may become subject, insofar as such Losses arise out of or result from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to fulfill any agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement. All of the representations and warranties of each Purchaser made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Except as set forth herein, all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Purchasers shall survive the Closing indefinitely (or if indefinite survival is not permitted by law, then for the maximum period permitted by applicable law).
7.3 Promptly after receipt by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party (each an “Indemnified Party”)under Section 7.1 or 7.2 of notice of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, including, without limitation, the commencement of any action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof may be made against the Company or the applicable Purchaser (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 7, promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Section 7 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or being materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. In case any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable approval (which approval will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably); provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be Liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7 for any legal or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in
- 11 -
connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless incurred at the written request of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the above, the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ counsel of its own choice in any action or proceeding (and be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel and other reasonable costs of the defense) if, in the written opinion of such Indemnified Party’s counsel, representation of the Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests or conflicts between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by the counsel in the action;provided,however, that the Indemnifying Party will not in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be Liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against the action or proceeding. An Indemnifying Party will not be Liable to any Indemnified Party for any settlement or entry of judgment concerning any action or proceeding effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise;provided,however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) nothing in this Section 7 shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief and (b) this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the Company’s or any Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or 6 except with respect to claims arising out of fraud or willful misconduct.
8.Covenants.
8.1Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from this Offering for product development, market expansion, regulatory affairs as referenced in the Offering Summary. The remainder of the proceeds shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
8.2Conduct of the Company’s Business. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, during the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date, the Company will conduct its business and operations solely in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and use reasonable commercial efforts to keep available the services of its officers and employees and preserve its current relationships with customers, suppliers, licensors, creditors and others having business dealings with it.
8.3Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the earliest practicable date.

- 13 -
amended only by mutual written agreement of the Company and a majority in interest of the Purchasers, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited or omit to take any action herein required to be performed by it, and any breach of any covenant, agreement, warranty or representation may be waived, only if the Company has obtained the written consent or waiver of the Purchasers purchasing a majority of the Units offered hereby.
11.4Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota with respect to contracts made and to be fully performed therein, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby agree that any suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement, or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the State of Minnesota.

The parties hereto each waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense of lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto.
11.5Severability. The holding of any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part, the provision will be interpreted so as to remain enforceable to the maximum extent permissible consistent with applicable law and the remaining conditions and provisions or portions thereof will nevertheless remain in full force and effect and enforceable to the extent they are valid, legal and enforceable, and no provisions will be deemed dependent upon any other covenant or provision unless so expressed herein.
11.6No Waiver. A waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.

11.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will together constitute the same instrument.
