Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with its principal offices at 1000 Winter Street, Suite 2200, Waltham, MA 02451, and the purchaser whose name and address is set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchaser”). 
 The Company desires to issue and sell (i) up to ____ shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”) and
(ii) warrants to purchase up to ____ shares of Common Stock (“Warrant Shares”); such warrants to be in the form of Common Stock Purchase Warrants attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Common Stock and warrants are to be sold
pursuant to units (each a “Unit”) consisting of a share of Common Stock (“Share”) and a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 0.5 shares of Common Stock. 
 IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Authorization of Sale of the Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance and
sale of the Common Stock and Warrants set forth above. The Company reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of Shares and the number of Warrants sold in this private placement prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3).

 SECTION 2. Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Units. At the Closing (as defined in Section 3), the Company will, subject to

 The Company proposes to enter into this same form of purchase agreement with certain other
investors (the “Other Purchasers”) and expects to complete sales of Units to them. The Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Purchasers”, and this Agreement and the
purchase agreements executed by the Other Purchasers are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Agreements”. The term “Placement Agents” shall mean JMP Securities LLC and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. 







 SECTION 3. Delivery of the Units at the Closing. The completion of the purchase and sale of the
Units (the “Closing”) shall occur at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP, One International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, as soon as practicable and as agreed to by the parties hereto, within three business days following
the execution of the Agreements, or on such later date or at such different location as the parties shall agree in writing, but not prior to the date that the conditions for Closing set forth below have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate
party (the “Closing Date”). 
 At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver, in immediately available funds, the full amount
of the purchase price for the Units being purchased hereunder by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser one or more stock certificates and Warrants registered in the name of the
Purchaser, or in such nominee name(s) as designated by the Purchaser in writing, representing the number of Units set forth in Section 2 above and bearing an appropriate legend referring to the fact that the Common Stock and Warrant Shares were
sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 thereunder. The Company will at the request of the
Purchaser promptly substitute one or more replacement certificates without the legend at such time as the Registration Statement (as defined below) becomes effective. The name(s) in which the stock certificates are to be registered are set forth in
the Securities Certificate Questionnaire attached hereto as part of Appendix I. 
 The Company’s obligation to complete the
purchase and sale of the Units and deliver such stock certificate(s) and Warrants to the Purchaser at the Closing shall be subject to the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived by the Company: (a) receipt by the Company of
same-day funds in the full amount of the purchase price for the Units being purchased hereunder; (b) completion of the purchases and sales under the Agreements with the Other Purchasers; and (c) the accuracy of the representations and
warranties made by the Purchasers and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Purchasers to be fulfilled prior to the Closing. The Purchaser’s obligation to accept delivery of such stock certificate(s) and Warrants and to pay for the Units
evidenced thereby shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) each of the representations and warranties of the Company made herein (i) that are not qualified by Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 4.5 below) shall be
accurate as of the Closing Date except to the extent the failure of the representations and warranties would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) that are qualified by Material Adverse Effect will be accurate as of the Closing Date as so
qualified and (b) the fulfillment in all material respects of those undertakings of the Company to be fulfilled prior to Closing. The Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are expressly not conditioned on the purchase by any or all of the
Other Purchasers of the Units that they have agreed to purchase from the Company. 
 SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Company is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which qualification is required, except where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse

Effect (as defined herein). The Company’s subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”) are
listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement. Each Subsidiary is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which qualification is required, except where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
         4.2. Reporting Company; Form S-3. The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined
in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) and is eligible to register the Shares and Warrant Shares for resale by the Purchaser on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and has filed all reports required thereby. Provided none of the Purchasers is deemed to be an underwriter with respect to any Shares or Warrant
Shares, to the Company’s knowledge, there exist no facts or circumstances (including without limitation any required approvals or waivers or any circumstances that may delay or prevent the obtaining of accountant’s consents) that
reasonably could be expected to prohibit or delay the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 that will be available for the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares by the Purchaser. 
         4.3. Authorized Capital Stock. The Company had duly authorized and validly issued outstanding
capitalization as set forth under the heading “Capitalization” in the confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated March 22, 2006 prepared by the Company (including all exhibits, supplements and amendments thereto, the
“Private Placement Memorandum”) as of the date set forth therein; the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with
all federal and state securities laws, were not issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase securities, and conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the
Private Placement Memorandum. Except as set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Company does not have outstanding any options to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or
obligations convertible into, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, shares of its capital stock or any such options, rights, convertible securities or obligations. With respect to each of the Subsidiaries (i) all the issued and
outstanding shares of such Subsidiary’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, were not issued in violation of or
subject to any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase securities, and (ii) there are no outstanding options to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or
obligations convertible into, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, shares of such Subsidiary’s capital stock or any such options, rights, convertible securities or obligations. 
         4.4. Issuance, Sale and Delivery of the Units. The Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly
authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in the manner set forth in this Agreement and in the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will conform in all material respects to the description thereof set forth
in the Private Placement Memorandum. No preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any 

  

 -3- 








 
shares of common stock of the Company exist with respect to the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement. No stockholder of the Company has any right (which has not been waived or has not expired by reason of lapse of time following notification of the Company’s intention to file the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined)) to
require the Company to register the sale of any capital stock owned by such stockholder under the Registration Statement. No further approval or authority of the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company will be required for the issuance
and sale of the Units to be sold by the Company as contemplated herein. 
         4.5. Due
Execution, Delivery and Performance of the Agreements. The Company has full legal right, corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform the transactions contemplated hereby. The Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company. This Agreement is, and upon execution and delivery by the Company, the Warrants will be, a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the application of equitable
principles relating to the availability of remedies, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution, including but not limited to, indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement may be limited by federal or state
securities law or the public policy underlying such laws. The execution and performance of the Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation
or bylaws of the Company or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary and will not result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms or provisions
of, or will not conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit
or other instrument to which any of the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective properties may be bound or affected and in each case that would have a Material Adverse Effect, or, to
the knowledge of the Company, any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary
or any of its/their respective properties. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for compliance with the Blue Sky laws and federal securities laws applicable to the offering of the Units. For the purposes of this Agreement the term “Material Adverse
Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, business or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except any of the following, either alone or in
combination, shall not be deemed a Material Adverse Effect: (i) effects caused by changes or circumstances affecting general market conditions in the U.S. economy or that are generally applicable to the industry in which the Company operates,
provided that such effects do not adversely affect the Company in a disproportionate manner, (ii) effects resulting from or relating to the announcement or disclosure of the sale of the Units or other transactions contemplated by the
Agreements, or (iii) effects caused by any event,

is bound; and there does not exist any state of fact that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary (as defined in such documents), except such defaults that individually
or in the aggregate would not cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
         4.8. Contracts. The
material contracts to which the Company is a party that are filed pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, with the Commission by the Company have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the
legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable by and against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws and the
public policy underlying such laws. 
         4.9. No Actions. There are no legal or
governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary before or by any court, regulatory body or administrative agency or any other governmental agency or body,

knowledge, is imminent, that might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to or subject to the provisions of any injunction, judgment, decree or order of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body that might have a Material Adverse Effect. 
         4.10. Properties. The Company and each Subsidiary has good and valid title to all the properties and assets described as owned by it in the consolidated financial statements included in
the Private Placement Memorandum, free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, or encumbrances of any kind except (i) those, if any, reflected in such consolidated financial statements, or (ii) those that are not material in amount and

 -5- 








 
adversely affect the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company and each Subsidiary holds its leased
properties under valid and binding leases, with such exceptions as are not materially significant in relation to its business. The Company and any Subsidiary owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to its operations as now conducted.

the ordinary course of business and any required scheduled payments); and (v) there has not occurred any event that has caused or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
         4.12. Intellectual Property. Except as disclosed in the Private Placement Memorandum, (i) the
Company or a Subsidiary owns or has obtained valid and enforceable licenses for the inventions, patent applications, patents, trademarks (both registered and unregistered), trade names, copyrights and trade secrets necessary for the conduct of the

Property that is owned by, or has been licensed to, the Company or each Subsidiary for the products described in the Private Placement Memorandum that would preclude the Company or any Subsidiary from conducting its business as currently conducted
and have a Material Adverse Effect, except for the ownership rights of the owners of the Intellectual Property licensed by the Company or any Subsidiary; (b) to the Company’s knowledge, there are currently no sales of any products that
would constitute an infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Company or any Subsidiary, which infringement would have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) there is no pending or, to the Company’s

Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of others, other than non-material
actions, suits, proceedings and claims. 
         4.13. Compliance. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries have any reason to believe that they are not conducting business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, except where failure to be so in
compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
         4.14. Taxes. The Company and
each Subsidiary has filed on a timely basis (giving effect to extensions) all required federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and none of the Company or any subsidiary has

destruction, acts of vandalism and all other risks customarily insured against, with such deductibles as are customary for companies in the same or similar business, all of which insurance is in full force and effect. 
         4.19. Additional Information. The information contained or incorporated in the following
documents, which the Placement Agents have furnished to the Purchaser, or will furnish prior to the Closing, taken as a whole as of the date hereof do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be

obligation to purchase the Shares, Ropes & Gray LLP shall have delivered its legal opinion to the Placement Agents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agents and counsel to the Placement Agents. Such opinion also shall state

Adverse Effect. 
         4.28. Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements

and each “pension plan” for which the Company would have liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to

offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Units or securities underlying the Units, nor will the Purchaser engage in any short sale that results
in a disposition of any of the Units or securities underlying the Units by the Purchaser, except in compliance with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and any applicable state securities laws; (iv) the Purchaser has completed or
caused to be completed the Registration Statement Questionnaire attached hereto as part of Appendix I, for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true
and correct as of the effective date of the Registration Statement and the Purchaser will notify the Company immediately of any material change in any such information provided in the Registration Statement Questionnaire until such time as the
Purchaser has sold all of its Shares and Warrant Shares or until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective; (v) the Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the number of Units set forth in
Section 2 above, relied solely upon the Private Placement Memorandum and the documents included therein or incorporated by reference and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein; (vi) the Purchaser has had an
opportunity to discuss this investment with representatives of the Company and ask questions of them and has had the opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment; and (vii) the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. 
         5.2. Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Units are being offered and sold
to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s

information pursuant to any court or other government order or any other applicable legal procedure, it shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any such request or order in time sufficient to enable the Company to seek an appropriate
protective order. 
         5.4. Investment Decision. The Purchaser understands that nothing

         5.6. No Government Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency
or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units.

 -12- 








 
may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, the Shares and the Warrants Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE
SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.” 
         5.8. Residency. The
Purchaser’s principal executive offices are in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the Purchaser’s name on the signature pages hereto. 
         5.9. Public Sale or Distribution. The Purchaser covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares under the Registration Statement
without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar
rule). The Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed
by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Purchaser covenants that it will not sell any securities pursuant to
said prospectus during the period commencing at the time when the Company gives the Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the Purchaser written notice that the
Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no suspension shall be for a period of longer than 30 consecutive days, and no suspension shall be for a period longer than 60
days in the aggregate in any 365 day period. 
         5.10. Organization; Validity;
Enforcements. The Purchaser further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Purchaser has power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the making and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not
violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any material agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, 

  

 -13- 








 
indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or, any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of
any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body applicable to Purchaser, (iii) no consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental agency or body is required on the part of the Purchaser for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or the enforcement of creditor’s rights and the application of equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution,
including, but not limited to, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, may be limited by federal or state securities law or the public policy underlying such laws and (v) there is not in effect any order
enjoining or restraining the Purchaser from entering into or engaging in any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION
6. Survival of Agreements; Non-Survival of Company Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agents, all covenants and agreements made by the Company and the
Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares and the Warrants delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares and the Warrants being purchased and the payment therefor.
All representations and warranties, made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares and the Warrants delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the
Units being purchased and the payment therefor. 
 SECTION 7. Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities Act. 
         7.1. Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall: 
                 (a) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
ten (10) days following the Closing Date, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares by the Purchaser and
the Other Purchasers from time to time on the Nasdaq National Market, or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded or in privately-negotiated transactions; 
                 (b) use its reasonable best efforts, subject to receipt
of necessary information from the Purchasers, to cause the Commission to declare the Registration Statement effective within 60 days after the Registration Statement is filed by the Company (such date, the “Required Effective
Date”), provided, however, that in the event the Registration Statement receives any review by the Commission, the Required Effective Date will be 75 days after the Registration Statement is filed by the Company; 
                 (c) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith 

  

 -14- 








 
as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Shares and Warrant Shares have been
sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which the Shares and Warrant Shares may be resold by the Purchasers that are not affiliates of the Company without registration by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or
any other rule of similar effect; or (iii) such time as all Shares and Warrant Shares purchased by such Purchaser under this Agreement have been sold; 
                 (d) so long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares owned by the
Purchaser, furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Shares and Warrant Shares registered under the Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the
Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of such securities by the Purchaser; 
                 (e) in consultation with its counsel, file documents required of the Company for compliance with Blue Sky requirements in states specified in
writing by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented; 

                (f) bear all expenses in connection with the
procedures in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser or the Other
Purchasers or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchaser or the Other Purchasers, if any in connection with the Offering of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement; 
                 (g) advise the Purchaser (via e-mail address provided
pursuant to Section 9(b)) on the same day that: (i) the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the
same has become effective; (ii) the Company shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any
proceeding for that purpose, or any other order issued by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of such shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws;
and (iii) the Company shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, the prospectus, any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or which results in an omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statement contained therein in light of the circumstances in which it was made not misleading;

                 (h) file a Form D with respect to the
Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser promptly after filing; 
  

 -15- 








                 (i) issue
a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to 8:30 AM on the business day immediately following the execution and delivery by all Purchasers of the Agreements; and 
                 (j) in order to enable the Purchasers to sell the Shares
under Rule 144 to the Securities Act, for a period of two years from Closing, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including without limitation, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with
the requirements of Rule 144(c) with respect to public information about the Company and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act. 
         The Company understands that the Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but the Purchaser being deemed
an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. A draft of the proposed form of the Registration Statement is included in the Private Placement Memorandum and a questionnaire related thereto to be completed by the
Purchaser is attached hereto as Appendix I. 
     7.2. Transfer of Shares After Registration. The
Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities laws, except as
contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the
Purchaser or its plan of distribution. 
         7.3. Indemnification. For the purpose of
this Section 7.3: 
  

	 	(i)	the term “Purchaser/Affiliate” shall mean any affiliates of the Purchaser, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Purchaser, and any person who controls the
Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document
incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1. 

                 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise
(including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) 

  

 -16- 








 
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the
prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of
effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the
Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the “Prospectus”), or any subsequent amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse each Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or such
Purchaser/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (ii) the failure of a Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.10 or 7.2 hereof, or
(iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by a Purchaser herein or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent
sale or sales by the Purchaser. 
                 (b) Each
Purchaser will severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or
controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is
effected with the prior written consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the
covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.10 or 7.2 hereof or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in
the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, 

  

 -17- 








 
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that each Purchaser’s aggregate liability
under Section 7.3(b)(iii) shall not exceed the amount of net proceeds received by such Purchaser on the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. 
                 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of
any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there is likely to be a conflict of interest between the
positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there are likely to be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection
with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory
to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any action without its written consent. 
  

 -18- 








                 (d) If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this
Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the placement of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the
Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for
the Shares purchased by such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount such Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or
claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d);
provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the
amount of any damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.3 are several and not
joint. 
         7.4. Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent
imposed by Section 5.9 or Section 7.2 upon the transferability of the securities 

  

 -19- 








 
purchased pursuant to this Agreement shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of securities upon the earlier of (i) the passage of two
years from the effective date of the Registration Statement and (ii) at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order
to comply with the Securities Act. 
         7.5. Information Available. The Company, upon
the reasonable request of the Purchaser, shall make available for inspection by each Purchaser, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
Purchaser or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably
requested by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement. 
         7.6. Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If the Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Date, then for
each day following the Filing Date, until but excluding the date the Registration Statement is filed, or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Required Effective Date, then for each day following the
Required Effective Date, until but excluding the date the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective, the Company shall, for each such day, pay the Purchaser with respect to any such failure, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
an amount equal to 0.0333% of the purchase price paid by such Purchaser for its Securities pursuant to this Agreement; and for any such day, such payment shall be made no later than the first business day of the calendar month next succeeding the
month in which such day occurs. If the Purchaser shall be prohibited from selling Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement as a result of a Suspension of more than thirty (30) consecutive days or more than sixty (60) days in
the aggregate in any 365 day period, then for each day on which a Suspension is in effect that exceeds the maximum allowed period for a Suspension or Suspensions, but not including any day on which a Suspension is lifted, the Company shall pay the
Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.0333% of the purchase price paid by such Purchaser for its Securities pursuant to this Agreement for each such day, and such payment shall be made no later than the first
business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. For purposes of this Section 7.6, a Suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that the Suspension has been lifted is delivered to the
Purchaser pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.6. shall not constitute the Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for such events. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the
Company be obligated to pay liquidated damages (i) to more than one Purchaser in respect of the same Securities for the same period of time or (ii) in an aggregate amount that exceeds 10% of the purchase price paid by the Purchaser for its
Securities pursuant to this Agreement. Such payments shall be made to the Purchaser in cash. 
 SECTION 8. Broker’s Fee. The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Company intends to pay to the Placement Agents a fee in respect of the sale of the Units to the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchaser shall not be responsible for such fee and that the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each 

  

 -20- 








 
Purchaser/Affiliate against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliate may become
subject with respect to such fee. Each of the parties hereto represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Shares to the
Purchaser. 
 SECTION 9. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be
mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, e-mail, confirmed facsimile or nationally recognized overnight express courier postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so mailed and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:

extent provided in Section 7.3, any person controlling the Company or the Purchaser, the officers and directors of the Company, and their respective executors, administrators, successors and assigns and subject to the provisions of
Section 7.3, no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successor and assigns” shall not include any subsequent purchaser, as such purchaser, of the Shares sold to the Purchaser
