ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Stock Purchase Agreement with Pernix Therapeutics, LLC
On September 8, 2011, AMHN, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Pernix Therapeutics, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company ("Pernix"), and solely for the purposes of Section 5 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, VitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("VitaMed"). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Pernix agreed to purchase 2,631,579 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares") at a purchase price of $0.38 per share for a total purchase price of $1,000,000 ("Purchase Price"). The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement shall take place on the next
business day following the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, VitaMed, and VitaMed Acquisition, LLC dated July 18, 2011 which was previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2011. If the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement has not occurred by October 31, 2011 (or such other later date as the Parties may, by mutual agreement, determine), it will terminate and neither party shall have any liability to the other party. On the closing date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Pernix shall wire the Purchase Price for the benefit of the Company to VitaMed and the Company shall issue the Shares.
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and Pernix entered into a Lock-Up Agreement of even date therewith, which, among other things, will restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance and other disposition of the Shares issued to Pernix. Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, Pernix agreed that for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Lock-Up Agreement, it would not make or cause any sale of the Shares (the "Lock-Up Period"). After the completion of the Lock-Up Period, Pernix agreed not to sell or dispose of more than five percent (5%) of the Shares per quarter for the following twelve (12)
month period.
The foregoing descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement are qualified, in their entirety, by reference to each agreement, copies of which are attached as exhibits to this Report and are incorporated by reference to this Item 1.01.

This stock purchase agreement (this “Agreement”), dated September 8, 2011 is made by and between AMHN, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Pernix Therapeutics, LLC a Louisiana limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and solely for purposes of Section 5, VitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VitaMed”). Collectively, the Company and Purchaser are referred to herein as the “Parties.”

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings set forth herein, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase of Shares
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell to the Purchaser, 2,631,579 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the ”Common Stock”) at a purchase price of Thirty-Eight Cents ($.38) per share or a total purchase price of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (“Purchase Price”).

2. Closing

If the Closing has not occurred by October 31, 2011 (or such other later date as the Parties may, by mutual written agreement, determine), this Agreement will terminate and neither Party shall have any liability to the other party. On the Closing Date the Purchaser shall wire the Purchase Price for the benefit of the Company to the following

The Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate representing the shares as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser
The Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
3.1 Authority; Binding Agreement. The Purchaser has the full legal right, power and authority to enter into and to perform this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the Purchaser’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.
3.2 Securities Law Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser has been advised that the Shares have not been registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, but are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on the Purchaser’s representations contained herein. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is relying in part upon the
Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained herein for the purpose of determining whether the offer and sale of the Shares qualifies for applicable exemptions from registration or qualification pursuant to federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations.
3.2.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to distributing all or any part thereof; the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing any of the Shares in a manner contrary to the Act, or any applicable state securities law; and the Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or
grant participations to the person or to any third person with respect to any of the Shares.
3.2.2 Due Diligence. The Purchaser has been solely responsible for its own due diligence investigation of the Company, VitaMed and their respective businesses, and its analysis of the merits and risks of the investment made pursuant to this Agreement, and is not relying on anyone else’s analysis or investigation of the Company, VitaMed or either of their respective businesses or the merits and risks of the Shares other than professional advisors employed specifically by the Purchaser to assist the Purchaser.
3.2.3 Access to Information. The Purchaser has been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company and VitaMed, including, in particular, the current financial condition and the limited assets of the Company and VitaMed and the risks associated therewith, and has utilized the access to the Purchaser’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information about the Company and VitaMed. The Purchaser has either attended or been given reasonable opportunity to attend a meeting with the senior
executives of the Company and VitaMed, for the purpose of asking questions of, and receiving answers from, such persons concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and to obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably available, necessary to verify the accuracy of information provided to the Purchaser about the Company and VitaMed.
3.2.4 Sophistication. The Purchaser, either alone or with the assistance of the Purchaser’s professional advisor, is a sophisticated investor, is able to fend for the Purchaser in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares.
3.2.5 Suitability. The investment in the Shares is suitable for the Purchaser based upon the Purchaser’s investment objectives and financial needs, and the Purchaser has adequate net worth and means for providing for the Purchaser’s current financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Shares. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments that are illiquid or not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Purchaser’s net worth, and
investment in the Shares will not cause the overall commitment to become excessive.
3.2.6 Professional Advice. The Purchaser has obtained, to the extent the Purchaser deems necessary, the Purchaser’s own professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in the investment in the
Shares, the condition of the Company and VitaMed and the suitability of the investment in the Shares in light of the Purchaser’s financial condition and investment needs.
3.2.7 Ability to Bear Risk. The Purchaser is in a financial position to purchase and hold the Shares and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete loss of the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares. THE SHAREHOLDER RECOGNIZES THAT THE INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES IS AN INVESTMENT INVOLVING A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
3.2.8 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:
|
(a)
|
There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
|
|
(b)
|
The Purchaser shall be satisfied that such proposed disposition either complies in all respects with SEC Rule 144 or any successor rule providing a safe harbor for such dispositions without registration or is otherwise exempt from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws.
|
3.2.9 Residency. For purposes of the application of state securities laws, the Purchaser represents that it is organized under the laws of the State of Louisiana.
3.2.10 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule is presently in effect.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Company
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
4.1 Authority; Binding Agreement. The Company has the full legal right, power and authority to enter into and to perform this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the Company’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
4.2 Title to Shares. The Company will transfer to the Purchaser at the Closing Date, good and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of any and all security interests, liens, pledges, charges, escrows, options, rights of first refusal, mortgages, indentures, security agreements, claims or other encumbrances of any kind, and with no restriction on, or agreement relating to, the voting rights, transfer, and other incidents of record and beneficial ownership pertaining to the Shares, other than the Lock-Up Agreement
executed concurrently herewith, and restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws.
4.3 Capitalization of the Company. As of the date hereof, the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock the Company has authority to issue is 60,000,000 shares, of which 50,000,000 are designated Common Stock, and 10,000,000 are designated preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of the date hereof, there are 16,575,209 shares of Common Stock outstanding and no outstanding preferred shares. As of the Closing Date, the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock the Company
has authority to issue is 260,000,000 shares, of which 250,000,000 are designated as Common Stock and 10,000,000 are designated as preferred stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. No person is entitled to any preemptive right with respect to any of the capital stock of the Company (including the Shares).
4.4 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, the Company will hold 100% of the membership interest in VitaMed. The Company does not hold, directly or indirectly, an equity or similar interest in any other person or entity.
4.5 Conflicts; Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent or approval under, the Articles of Incorporation, by-laws or other constitutive documents of the Company, (ii) conflict with or result in a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or modification) or require any consent or approval of any other person or entity, or (iii)

6. Indemnity Obligation
6.1 Survival of Indemnification Obligations. The indemnification obligations under this Section 6 with respect to representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely.
6.2 Indemnification by the Company. After the Closing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, fees, liens, taxes, obligations, losses, claims, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in investigating and preparing for any
litigation or proceeding) (collectively, the “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any such person or that arise from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein, or (b) any breach by the Company of any of their covenants or agreements in this Agreement.
6.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. After the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such person or that arise from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained herein, or (b) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements in this
Agreement.
6.4 Defense of Claims. If any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any claim or demand made, against any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any Company Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of which the Company or Purchaser may be liable hereunder (such Party, in such circumstance, being referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof (the “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that any delay in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve
the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend any litigation, action, suit, demand or claim for which indemnification is sought (a “Proceeding”) and, to the extent it elects to do so by written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume and pay the expenses of the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to make any expenditure or bring any cause of action to enforce the Indemnifying Party’s obligations and liability under and pursuant to this Section 6. Except as specifically provided below, after notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 6 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any of the foregoing Proceedings and to participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine, upon the written advice of counsel, that there exists actual or potential conflicts of interest which make
representation by the same counsel inappropriate. In a case specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Parties. In the event that, within twenty days after receiving a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party that it elects to assume the defense, compromise or settlement of the Proceeding described in such Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of such Proceeding for the account of and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to
assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party and upon immediate payment of all reasonable expenses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any Proceeding, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any such Proceeding or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such
Proceeding that requires solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and that includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Proceeding. If the Indemnified Party takes over and assumes control of any Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any Proceeding, or consent to entry of any judgment. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its employees and the employees of any of its respective affiliates to cooperate, with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Proceeding assumed by the Indemnifying Party.
Section 6.5 Claims Against Indemnifying Party. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Section 6.
7. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders
7.1 Restrictive Legend. The Company’s transfer agent shall endorse all certificates representing Shares purchased by the Purchaser and all certificates representing Shares issued or transferred after this Agreement is entered into with the following legend:
The shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws And neither such shares nor any interest therein may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
The sale or transfer of the securities represented by this certificate is subject to the terms and conditions of a lock-up agreement dated [____], 2011, between the issuer and the stockholder listed on the face hereof.

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of this 8th day of September, 2011 (the "Effective Date”) by and between Pernix Therapeutics, LLC a Louisiana limited liability company (the "Shareholder")and AMHN, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), with a corporate address of 951 Broken Sound Parkway, Suite 300-320, Boca Raton, FL 33487.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Shareholder have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Shareholder has agreed to purchase $1,000,000 of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”), with the Closing of the purchase and sale of such Shares to occur on the day after the closing of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among VitaMed, the Company and VitaMed Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Shareholder will enter into this Agreement, which, among other things, will restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock issued to it; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Shares and obligations in respect thereof as hereinafter provided.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the terms and conditions contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. LOCK-UP OF SECURITIES.
(a)
|
Shareholder agrees that from the Effective Date until twelve (12) months after such Effective Date (the "Lock-Up Period"), the Shareholder will not make or cause any sale of the Company Securities the Shareholder owns or has the power to control the disposition of, either of record or beneficially. After the completion of the Lock-Up Period, the Shareholder agrees to not sell or dispose of more than 5 percent (5%) of the aggregate Common Stock or shares reserved for issuance for Company Options and Company Warrants owned by Shareholder per quarter over the following twelve (12) month period (the “Dribble Out Period”). Upon the completion of the Dribble Out Period, the Shareholder will be free to transfer or
dispose of the Securities without limitation except (x) as set forth in Section 1(c) below, and (y) that all such transfers or dispositions shall be in compliance with applicable Securities Laws as described in Section 3 below.
|
(b)
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(a) above shall not apply (A) in the event that a change of control of the Company occurs after the Effective Date or (B) to transfers or dispositions (i) consummated in a private transaction among the Shareholder and the transferee wherein the Securities transferred are not sold or otherwise disposed on the market or exchange in which the Company’s Common Stock is listed, or (ii) approved in writing by the Company’s Board of Directors prior to such transfer or disposition, which such approval shall be in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors except that such approval will not be unreasonably withheld so long as the Board of Directors
determines that such transfer or disposition will not significantly harm or damage the Company’s trading or market value, provided that in each such case that the transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein. For purposes of this Agreement, a “change of control” shall mean any event whereby any person or entity gains or purchases more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company.
|
(c)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) above, the Shareholder shall not make or cause any sale of the Company Securities the Shareholder owns or has the power to control the disposition of, either of record or beneficially during any period in which the principal executive officers and/or the board of directors (or equivalent body) of each of the Company and the Shareholder are in substantive discussions regarding(i) an acquisition by either party, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, of (x) voting control of the other party, or (y) substantially all of the other party’s assets (other than purchases of products in the ordinary course of business), or (ii) a merger or combination
between the Company and the Shareholder (or either of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates).
|
(d)
|
Shareholder hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period and any period referred to in Section 1(c) above to cause any transfer agent for the Securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Securities subject to this Agreement for which the Shareholder is the record holder and, in the case of Securities subject to Lock-Up Agreement for which the Shareholder is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records
relating to the Securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement, if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
|
2. TRANSFER; SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS.
The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. As provided above, any transfer (not limited to, but including any hypothecation) of stock shall require the transferee to execute a Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with the same terms set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
3. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
Shareholder shall not at any time during or following the Lock-Up Period make any transfer, except (i) transfers pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) transfers pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shareholder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the transfer otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement.
4. OTHER RESTRICTIONS.
(a) Legends. The Shareholder hereby agrees that each outstanding certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued during the Lock-Up Period shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:
(i)
|
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
|
(ii)
|
THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT DATED [____], 2011, BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE STOCKHOLDER LISTED ON THE FACE HEREOF. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER AND WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON REQUEST. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.
|
(b) Termination of Restrictive Legends. The restrictions referred to in Section 4(a)(i) shall cease and terminate as to any particular shares (i) when, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such restriction is no longer required in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act or this Agreement, or (ii) when such shares shall have been transferred in a Rule 144 transfer or effectively registered under the Securities Act. The restrictions referred to in Section 4(a)(ii) shall cease and terminate at the end of the Lock-Up Period.
Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any shares, Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in exchange for such legended certificates, without expense (other than applicable transfer fees and taxes, if any, if such unlegended shares are being delivered and transferred to any person other than the registered holder thereof), new certificates for a like number of shares not bearing the relevant legend(s) set forth in Section 4(a). The Company may request from Shareholder a certificate or an opinion of counsel of Shareholder with respect to any relevant matters in connection with the removal of the legend(s) set forth in Section 4(a)(i) from Shareholder’s stock certificates, which certificate or opinion of counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
(c) Copy of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be filed with the corporate secretary of the Company, shall be kept with the records of the Company and shall be made available for inspection by any shareholder of the Company. In addition, a copy of this Agreement shall be filed with the Company's transfer agent of record.
(d) Recordation. The Company shall not record upon its books any transfer to any person except transfers in accordance with this Agreement.
5. NO OTHER RIGHTS
The Shareholder understands and agrees that the Company is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of Shareholder’s Securities under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available.
6. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
Shareholder acknowledges that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Shareholder fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Shareholder under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any remedy under this Section 6 is subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought.
7. NOTICES.
All notices, statements, instructions or other documents required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given either personally or by mailing the same in a sealed envelope, first-class mail, postage prepaid and either certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by telecopy, and shall be addressed to the Company at its principal offices and to Shareholder at the respective addresses furnished to the Company by Shareholder.
8. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
9. RECAPITALIZATIONS AND EXCHANGES AFFECTING SHARES.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(b)(A) above, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the shares, to any and all shares of capital stock or equity securities of the Company which may be issued by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise.
10. GOVERNING LAW.

13. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.
Any term of this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Company and the Shareholder. No delay or failure on the part of the Company in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any power or right. The Board of Directors of the Company may amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the term of the Lock-Up Period. In such event, the Company shall amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the term of the Lock-Up Period on a pro-rata basis for each Shareholder that is subject to this Agreement at any time so long as the Board reasonably determines that any such Amendment is in the best interests of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement or the Lock-Up Period shall in no way mean or be construed as the amendment, modification or waiver of any other lock-up agreement to which the Company is a party.
14. SEVERABILITY.
If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, portions of such provisions, or such provisions in their entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
15. DELAYS OR OMISSIONS.
No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement, upon any breach or default of the other party to this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party to this Agreement of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any
provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder shall be cumulative and not alternative.
