(e) Investment Representations.

(i) Holder qualifies as an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and is acquiring the Exchanged Shares hereunder for its own account and with no intention of distributing or selling the Exchanged Shares except pursuant to a registration or an available exemption under applicable law. Holder understands that the Exchanged Shares have not been (and are not being) registered under the Securities Act by reason of their contemplated issuance in transaction(s) exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and that the reliance of the Corporation on such exemption from registration is predicated in part on the representations and warranties of Holder hereunder.

(ii) Holder agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Exchanged Shares unless such sale or other disposition has been registered or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and has been registered or qualified or is exempt from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws of any State.

(iii) Holder understands that a restrictive legend consistent with the foregoing set forth in Section 11(a) of this Agreement has been or will be placed on the certificates evidencing the Exchanged Shares to be issued to it hereunder, and related stop transfer instructions will be noted in the transfer records of the Corporation and/or its transfer agent for the Exchanged Shares during the Prohibited Period.

(iv) Holder represents that it is not an Affiliate (as defined herein) of the Corporation and will covenant and agree that if it becomes an Affiliate, it will promptly provide notice to the Corporation of such status and comply with insider trading laws and policies and the applicable “control securities” provisions of Rule 144 in addition to any other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(v) Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the Exchanged Shares. Holder acknowledges that it has had access to all information concerning the Corporation and Unidym and their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, financial statements, and obligations which have been requested and has been provided the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Corporation and/or Unidym to fully and effectively evaluate the Exchange and the transactions contemplated herein. Holder understands that a new holding period for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act will be triggered with respect to the Exchanged Shares, and such Holder is able to bear the economic risk of loss of the investment in such Exchanged Shares and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

5. Covenants.

(a) Current Public Information. Until such time as Rule 144 of the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of Holder’s Exchanged Shares during any ninety (90) day period, the Corporation agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep current in the filing of its quarterly and annual reports as required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), in order to allow resales under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, it being understood that the Holder shall remain subject to the contractual lock-up and prohibited sales period set forth in this Agreement. The Corporation shall notify Holder during any period it is not current with any such filing and shall take all commercially reasonable steps to cure any such late filing in a timely fashion.

(a) Prohibited Sale Period. For a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (the “Prohibited Period”), Holder agrees that it shall not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of such Holder’s Exchanged Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Exchanged Shares) received in the Exchange, whether held directly or indirectly, or (ii) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, option, contract to purchase or sell, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any economic consequences of owning any such security.

(b) Permitted Sales. For the purpose of clarification, the Corporation acknowledges that nothing contained in Section 6(a) of this Agreement is intended to restrict Holder’s ability to sell (i) Arrowhead Shares that are not Exchanged Shares that are held or acquired by the Holder in transactions outside of this Agreement in the open market (unless as part of a plan or scheme to evade the terms and conditions of this Agreement); (ii) Exchanged Shares in a private, non-public negotiated transaction in which, if reasonably requested by the Corporation, Holder shall have furnished an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that such sale will not require registration of the Exchanged Shares under the Securities Act;; or (iii) shares of Exchanged Shares pursuant to Rule 144, provided that the Exchanged Shares are sold to a single party in a single transaction (the Corporation shall utilize commercially reasonable effort to assist in the identification of such a potential party if desired by Holder) and the proceeds from the sale of such shares are re-invested in an equity financing (including a financing involving debt convertible into equity) of Unidym. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder acknowledges that it may be subject to other restrictions imposed on it by the federal or state securities laws of the United States.

7. Termination.

(a) In the event the Closing Date does not occur on or before September 15, 2009, this Agreement may be terminated in writing after such date (i) by the Corporation or (ii) by the Holder upon two (2) days prior written notice to the Corporation.

This right to indemnification is in addition to any other remedy available to each Holder under this Agreement. In no event shall the Corporation or its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees be liable to a Holder Indemnified Party for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages or attorney’s fees of any kind.
