(7) “Subsequent Placement” means the issuance or sale by the Company of any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities.
(ii) Notice or Consent. If immediately following the consummation of a contemplated Subsequent Placement by the Company following the Closing Date in which the consideration per share of Common Stock is less than $1.25 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement, the “Conversion Price”) (or deemed less than $1.25 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement) in the case of a Convertible Security as determined in accordance with subsection (iii) below) (a “Dilutive Subsequent Placement”),
(1) the Number of Shares Issued Below the Conversion Price is less than 33% of the Number of Shares Deemed Outstanding, then the Company shall not consummate such Dilutive Subsequent Placement unless (x) the Company has provided notice of such Dilutive Subsequent Placement to the Investor at least one (1) Business Day prior to the consummation of such Dilutive Subsequent Placement (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the consent of the Required Holders shall not be required to consummate such Dilutive Subsequent Placement) or (y) such Dilutive Subsequent Placement involves the issuance of Excluded Securities;

In addition, in the event that the Required Holders approve such issuance pursuant to this subsection (2), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such issuance on a fully-diluted basis plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Company in connection with such Dilutive Subsequent Placement would purchase at the Conversion Price; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such issue on a fully-diluted basis plus the number of such additional shares of common stock of the Company that would be issued at the price of such shares (or the conversion price of such shares) in such Dilutive Subsequent Placement.

Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or in connection herewith or therewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or discussed herein or therein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein (i) shall be deemed or operate to preclude any party from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any other party to any of the Transaction Documents in any other jurisdiction to collect on such other party’s obligations to such party or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such party or (ii) shall limit, or shall be deemed or construed to limit, any provision of Section 16 of the Notes. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. 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).
(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investor, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. The parties hereto make no representations or warranties to each other, express (except as expressly contained in this Agreement) or implied, and any and all prior representations and warranties made by any party hereto or its representatives, whether verbally or in writing, are deemed to have been merged into this Agreement and the other written agreements contemplated hereby, it being intended that no such prior representations or warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Investor. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
