discretion.

4.
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
The Company covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a)
Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company (as defined in
Rule 501(b) of the Securities Act) will sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any
security (as defined in the Securities Act) of the Company which
will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner
which would require the registration under the Securities Act of
the Securities.

Any and all filings and documents required to be filed in
connection with or as a result of the Placements pursuant to

Purchaser, which shall be the sole obligation of Stonegate or such
Purchaser, as applicable.
(c)
Any press release to be issued by the Company announcing or

review of the Company, Stonegate shall be permitted to publish a
tombstone or similar advertisement upon completion of each
Placement identifying itself as the Company’s placement agent
with respect thereto; provided, that each such advertisement does
not constitute a general solicitation under federal securities laws
and otherwise complies with the requirements of the Securities

5.
FURNISHING OF COMPANY INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.
(a)
In connection with Stonegate’s activities hereunder on the
Company’s behalf, the Company shall furnish Stonegate with
all reasonable information concerning the Company and its
operations that Stonegate deems necessary or appropriate (the
“Company Information”) and shall provide Stonegate with
reasonable access to the Company’s books, records, officers,
directors, employees, accountants and counsel. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that, in rendering its services hereunder,
Stonegate will be using and relying upon the Company Information
without independent verification thereof or independent appraisal
of any of the Company’s assets and may, in its sole
discretion, use additional information contained in public reports
or other information furnished by the Company or third
parties.
(b)
Stonegate agrees that the Company Information will be used solely
for the purpose of performing its services hereunder. Subject
to the limitations set forth in subsection (c) below,
Stonegate will keep the Company Information provided hereunder
confidential and will not disclose such Company Information or any
portion thereof, except (i) to a third party contacted by Stonegate
on behalf of, and with the prior approval of, the Company pursuant
hereto who has agreed to be bound by a confidentiality agreement
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, or (ii) to any
other person for which the Company’s consent to disclose such
Company Information has been obtained. Further, Stonegate
acknowledges that certain Confidential Information may constitute
material non-public information (as defined in Regulation FD) and
agrees to, and to cause its officer, directors, employees and
affiliates to, refrain from trading in the Company’s common
stock until such information is made publicly available by the
Company.
(c)
Stonegate’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement
shall not apply to any portion of the Company Information which (i)
at the time of disclosure to Stonegate or thereafter is generally
available to and known by the public (other than as a result of a
disclosure directly or indirectly by Stonegate in violation of this
Agreement); (ii) was available to Stonegate on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than the Company, provided that such
source is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with
the Company; (iii) has been independently acquired or developed by
Stonegate without violating any of its obligations under this
Agreement; or (iv) the disclosure of which is legally compelled
(whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents,
subpoena, civil or administrative investigative demand or other
similar process). In the event that Stonegate becomes legally
compelled to disclose any of the Company Information, Stonegate
shall provide the Company with prompt prior written notice of such
requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order or
other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of
this Agreement.

The obligations of the Parties under this Section 5 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement for 12 months.
