THIS UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto by and among
Protea Biosciences Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the purchasers identified
on Exhibit A on the date hereof (which purchasers are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Purchasers”
and each individually as, a “Purchaser”).


 


BACKGROUND


 


A.           Unless
otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such
terms in Section 9.


 


B.           The
Company is offering (the “Offering”) Units to a limited number of persons who qualify as “accredited
investors” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act at a price per Unit of $100,000 pursuant
to the terms set forth in the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated September 2, 2014, as may be amended
and/or supplemented, from time to time (collectively, the “Memorandum”).


 


C.           Each
“Unit” shall consist of (a) 50,000 Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of
the Company (“Preferred Stock”), and (b) a Warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $0.375 per share for a period
of 3 years following the final closing (the “Final Closing Date”) of the Offering (the “Warrant”),


 


D.           The
Units are being offered on a “reasonable efforts, all or none” basis with respect to the minimum of $2,000,000
(the “Minimum Offering Amount”), which shall be exclusive of the Conversion Amount (defined below) and
thereafter on a “reasonable efforts” basis up to the maximum of $7,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering
Amount”); provided that Laidlaw may, in its sole discretion, sell up to an additional $2,000,000 in Units
to cover over-subscriptions (the “Over-Allotment”) which amounts shall
be exclusive of the Maximum Offering Amount. In addition, the Maximum Offering Amount and Over-Allotment
shall not include (i) up to an additional $2,000,000 (the “Conversion Amount”) in Units issuable to the
holders of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) that are convertible into Units issued in this
Offering upon the Initial Closing (defined below) of the Offering and (ii) up to an additional $1,000,000, plus, if and as applicable,
accrued unpaid interest (the “Additional Convertible Loan Amount”) in Units that may be
issued to holders in connection with the conversion of outstanding Notes upon the Initial Closing of the Offering and/or such other
investors as the Company and the Placement Agent may mutually agree upon (collectively, the “Additional Investors”).


 


E.           The
Company desires to issue and sell the Units to each Purchaser in one or more closings (each a “Closing”
and collectively the “Closings”) as set forth herein.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


 




    	1



    	 



    

 


1.           AGREEMENT
TO SELL AND PURCHASE.


 


1.1           Authorization
of Units. The board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has authorized (i) the
sale of up to 122 Units, including the Over-Allotment and the Units issued to the holders of the Notes upon conversion of the Conversion
Amount, with each Unit consisting of (a) 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock and (b) a Warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $0.375 per share for a period of 3 years from the Final Closing Date hereunder; (ii) the issuance
of up to 6,100,000 shares of Preferred Stock to be included as part of the authorized Units; (iii) from and after the applicable
Closing, the reservation and issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required to be issued upon the conversion
of the Preferred Stock, which was purchased and sold at such Closing (the “Conversion Shares”), (iv)
from and after the applicable Closing, the reservation and issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required
to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants, which were purchased and sold at such Closing (the “Warrant Shares”).


 


1.2           Initial
Sale and Purchase of Units. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties
and covenants contained herein, at the Initial Closing, the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser
shall purchase from the Company, the number of Units set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A under the
“Initial Units” column, at a purchase price of $100,000 per Unit (subject to appropriate and proportionate adjustment
for stock dividends payable in shares of, forward or reverse stock splits and other subdivisions and combinations of, and recapitalizations
and like occurrences with respect to, the Common Stock, the “Per Unit Purchase Price”). The minimum purchase
by each Purchaser is one Unit, unless the Company and the Placement Agent agree, in their mutual discretion, to allow a Purchaser
to purchase a partial Unit.


 


1.3           Subsequent
Sales and Purchases of Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein, at each subsequent Closing, the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser who is
identified as a “Subsequent Closing Purchaser” on Exhibit A, which shall be deemed amended at each such subsequent
Closing to add each such additional Purchaser (each, a “Subsequent Closing Purchaser”), and each Subsequent
Closing Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, the number Units set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit
A at the Per Unit Purchase Price.


 


1.4           Issuance
of Warrants. The Warrants shall be in form and substance substantially the same as the form of Warrant in Exhibit B.


 


2.           CLOSINGS,
DELIVERY AND PAYMENT.


 


2.1           Initial
Closing. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5 herein, the initial closing of the sale and purchase of the Units
(the “Initial Closing”), shall take place electronically on such date and at such time
as is agreed between the Company and the Placement Agent (such date the “Initial Closing Date”); upon
the earliest of (1) October 15, 2014 if the Minimum Offering Amount has not been raised, which period may be extended by the Company
and the Placement Agent in their joint discretion, without notice to or consent by prospective investors, until October 31, 2014
(collectively, the “Minimum Offering Amount Deadline”) or (2) the sale of the Maximum Offering Amount
unless the Placement Agent exercises the Greenshoe, or (3) October 31, 2014 (the “Termination Date”),
which period may be extended by the Company and Placement Agent in their joint discretion, without notice or vote by prospective
investors, to a date no later than December 31, 2014 (the “Final Termination Date”) if the Minimum Offering
Amount has been raised by the Minimum Offering Amount Deadline.  Subject to the foregoing, at
the Initial Closing, the Company must sell the minimum of 20 Units, excluding any Units issued in connection with the conversion
of the Conversion Amount, and the Company may sell up to a maximum of 122 Units, which amount shall include, (1) Units which may
be issued upon the conversion of the Conversion Amount and (2) the Over-Allotment. The Units sold at the Initial Closing are sometimes
referred to herein as “Initial Units.”

2.2           Subsequent
Closings. If the Minimum Offering Amount has been raised by the Minimum Amount Deadline, subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 5, each Subsequent Closing shall take place electronically on such date and at such time as is agreed between the Company
and the Placement Agent (such date the “Subsequent Closing Date”), in no event later than the Termination
Date, which date may be extended without further notice to prospective investors by the Company and
the Placement Agent, to a date no later than the Final Termination Date.  Subject to the
foregoing, at Subsequent Closings, the Company may sell up to a maximum of 122 Units less the number of Units sold in all prior
Closings, which amount shall include, (1) Units issued upon the conversion of the Conversion Amount and (2) the Over-Allotment.
The Units sold at the Subsequent Closings are sometimes referred to herein as “Subsequent Units.”


 


2.3           Delivery;
Payment. At each Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchasers will deliver the full amount of the Purchase
Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions attached hereto as Exhibit D,
or as the Company shall otherwise direct and the Company will deliver (1) one (1) certificate registered in such Purchaser’s
name, to purchase such number of shares of Preferred Stock included in the Units purchased by such Purchaser or Subsequent Closing
Purchaser, as the case may be, at such Closing and (2) one Warrant, registered in such Purchaser’s name to purchase such
number of Warrant Shares included in the Units purchased by such Purchaser or Subsequent Closing Purchaser, as the case may be,
at such Closing. The Company and the Placement Agent, in their mutual discretion, may allow a Purchaser to purchase a partial Unit,
in which case the Purchaser shall receive a certificate representing the appropriate number of shares of Preferred Stock included
in such partial Unit and a Warrant for the appropriate number of corresponding Warrant Shares.


 


3.           REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.


 


The Company represents and
warrants to each of the Purchasers that the statements made in this Section 3, except as qualified in the disclosure schedules

delivered at the Subsequent Closing in accordance with Section 5.1.1 herein, all of which qualifications in the Schedules attached
hereto and updated Schedules delivered at the Subsequent Closing shall be deemed to be representations and warranties as if made
hereunder. The Schedules shall be arranged to correspond to the numbered paragraphs contained in this Section 3, and the disclosure
in any paragraph of the Schedules shall qualify other subsections in Section 3 only to the extent that it is readily apparent from
a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other subsections. For purposes of this Section 3, “knowledge”
shall mean the personal knowledge of any of the Company’s officers or directors or what they would have known upon having

and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule 3.1, each of which jurisdictions
are the only jurisdictions in which the nature of such Protea Entity’s activities and properties (both owned and leased)

results of operations, prospects or Liabilities of the Protea Entities, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

of any of the shares of capital stock of any Protea Entity pursuant to its Organizational Documents or other governing documents
or any agreement or other instruments to which any Protea Entity is a party or by which it is bound. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.3.2, the issuance and sale of the Units as contemplated hereby will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock
or other securities to any other person (other than the Purchaser) and will not result in the adjustment of the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price of any outstanding security. There are no proxies, stockholder agreements, or any other agreements between

3.5           Shell
Company Status; SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company was initially formed as a “shell” company as described
in Rule 144(i)(1) under the Securities Act and as of September 2, 2011, has ceased to be a shell company. The Company has filed
all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
in accordance with Section 13 thereof, for the twenty-four (24) months preceding the date hereof (the foregoing materials, including
the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC
Reports”) on a timely basis or has timely filed a valid extension of such time of
filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports
(the “Financial Statements”) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the footnotes
thereto, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Protea Entities as of and for the dates thereof
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between a Protea Entity and
an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is not disclosed in its financial statements that should be disclosed
in accordance with GAAP and that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


3.6           Absence
of Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, no Protea Entity has any Liabilities that are not reflected or
disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 or the unaudited financial statements
of the Company for the quarters ended, respectively, June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, no
Protea Entity is a guarantor or indemnitor of any Liability of any other Person. Except for operating
leases for personal or real property entered into in the ordinary course of business which do not require payments of more than
$50,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year, no Protea Entity has issued any instruments,
entered into any agreements, commitments or arrangements or incurred any obligations that would have, or would reasonably be expected
to have, the effect of providing any Protea Entity with “off balance sheet” financing.


 


3.7           Agreements;
Action.


 


3.7.1.          Disclosure.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7.1 there are no other Material Contracts (defined below) of the Company to which any

Property;

6.           COVENANTS
OF THE PARTIES.


 


6.1           Transfer
Restrictions.


 


6.1.1.          The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, to the Company or
to an Affiliate of a Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.


 


6.1.2.          The
Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 6.1, of a legend on any of the Securities, including
the Warrant Shares, substantially in the following form:


 


[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED

IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES

TO THE COMPANY.


 




    	22



    	 



    

  


6.1.3.          Certificates
evidencing the shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares shall be eligible for removal of the restrictive
legend set forth in Section 6.1.2 hereof, (a) following any sale of such shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (b) if such shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale
under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions,
(c) following any sale of such shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, or Warrant Shares, pursuant to the plan of distribution
in an effective registration statement (in compliance with any prospectus delivery requirements), or (d) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the Commission) (the “Removal Date”).  The Company shall cause its counsel to
issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Removal Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal
of the legend hereunder as permitted by applicable law then in effect. The Company agrees that following the Removal Date, it
will, no later than five (5) trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate
representing shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend, together with any
reasonable certifications requested by the Company, the Company’s counsel or the Transfer Agent (such fifth (5th) trading
day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 6. Certificates for shares
of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System
as directed by such Purchaser if the Transfer Agent is then a participant in such system and the Company is eligible to use such
system and as directed by such Purchaser if either (i) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of such
shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, or Warrant Shares by the Purchaser (and the Purchaser provides the Company or the
Company’s counsel with any requested certifications with respect to future sales of such shares) or (ii) the shares are
eligible for resale by the Purchaser under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information required under Rule 144 as to such shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions.


 


6.1.4.          In
addition to any other rights available to a Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser unlegended Conversion Shares
or Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser, or a broker on such
Purchaser’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by such Purchaser of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares that such Purchaser was entitled to receive from the Company
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to such Purchaser (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by such Purchaser) the amount by which (a) such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (b) the aggregate purchase price of the Conversion Shares
or Warrant Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as unlegended shares (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty). For example, if a Purchaser purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to Common Shares or Warrant Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as unlegended shares having
an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser $1,000, plus interest. The Purchaser
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In. For purposes
of this Agreement, the “purchase price” of a (a) Conversion Share shall be the Conversion Price (as defined in the
Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock and (B) Warrant Share shall be the Exercise Price (as defined in the
Warrants).


 




    	23



    	 



    

 


6.1.5.          In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to such Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the Conversion Price or Exercise
Price of such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, as the case may be) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per
trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day five (5) trading days after such damages have begun to accrue)) for each trading
day after the fifth (5th) trading day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend.
Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates
representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.


 


6.2           Furnishing
of Information; Public Information.         For so long as any Purchaser holds
any Securities, or if earlier, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Termination Date (or the Final Termination
Date if the Offering is extended by the Company) the Company covenants to file all annual and quarterly periodic reports with
the SEC pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or alternatively, if registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act, maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all such annual and quarterly reports required to be
filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Unless the Securities owned by such Purchaser shall have
been registered for resale, if at any time during the period commencing from the date that is 6 months after the date hereof and
ending 24 months following the Termination Date (or the Final Termination Date if the Offering is extended by the Company) the
Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public
Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay
to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its
ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the pro-rata portion of such Purchaser’s
Purchase Price attributable to the unsold Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares on the day of a Public Information Failure and
on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the earlier of (A) the
date such Public Information Failure is cured and (B) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers
to transfer their shares of Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which
a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.2 are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments”.
Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (Y) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public
Information Failure Payments are incurred, and (Z) the third (3rd) business day after the event or failure giving rise to the
Public Information Failure Payments is cured. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages
for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the maximum payment hereunder shall not exceed twelve (12%) percent of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price.
As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare
and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the
Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder
of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell such Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.


 




    	24



    	 



    

 


6.3           Listing
of Securities. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other trading market,
it will include in such application the Conversion Shares and any Warrant Shares of each Purchaser, and will take such other action
as is necessary or desirable to cause such Conversion Shares and any Warrant Shares to be listed on such other trading market
as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on a Trading Market (as defined in the Warrant) and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of any such Trading Market (as defined in the Warrant).


 


6.4           Reservation
of Shares. From and after the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing, the Company shall at all times thereafter while
the Preferred Stock and Warrants which were purchased and sold at such Closing are outstanding maintain a reserve from its duly
authorized shares of Common Stock of a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to allow for the issuance of Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares, which were the subject of such Closing.


 


6.5           Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement securities.
If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may
require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.


 


6.6           Securities
Laws; Publicity. The Company shall by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the trading day immediately, following a Closing hereunder,
file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and including the Transaction
Documents as exhibits thereto to the extent required by law. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Purchaser, or
include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written
consent of Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents
(including signature pages thereto) with the SEC and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Company
shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).


 


6.7           Form
D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation
D promulgated under the Securities Act and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of the Purchaser. The Company shall
take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the
Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states
of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.


 


6.8           Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid
to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the
same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.

6.9           Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its behalf, will provide Purchaser
or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior
thereto Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company
understands and confirms that Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of
the Company.


 


6.10         Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes

Common Stock Equivalents or (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation.

aggregate, are material and are not otherwise legally required to be made, all actions, and to do or cause to be done, and to
assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable for such party to consummate and
make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, each Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereunder.


 


6.12        Participation
in Future Financing.


 


6.12.1         From
the date hereof until the one year anniversary of the Final Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
(or any resulting Person due to any “Spin-Outs”) in an offering pursuant to which any of the foregoing raises gross
proceeds of at least $1,000,000 of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent Financing”),
each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to such Purchaser’s
proportionate share of the Subsequent Financing based on such Purchaser’s participation in this Offering (the “Participation
Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing; provided, however, that
Purchasers shall not have the right to participate in any offering by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents to be issued solely to Company Investors.


 


6.12.2         At
least 10 trading days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written
notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask
such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing
Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser made within one trading day
following the receipt by the Purchaser of the Pre-Notice, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no
later than 1 trading day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to
be raised thereunder and the person or persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall
include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.


 




    	26



    	 



    

 


6.12.3         Any
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th trading day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser is
willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser
has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the
Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such 5th trading day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company
that it does not elect to participate.


 


6.12.4         If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th trading day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications
by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate)
is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion
of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


6.12.5         If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th trading day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the
Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation
Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Units purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating
under this Section 6.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Units purchased by all Purchasers participating under this Section 6.12.


 


6.12.6         The
Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of
participation set forth above in this Section 6.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice
is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 trading days after the
date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


6.12.7         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 6.12 shall not apply in respect of issuances in connection with (i) an Exempt Issuance (as defined
in Section 6.13 below); (ii) an underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act;
(iii) a joint venture or acquisition of another entity by the Company, whether by purchase of stock, merger, consolidation, purchase
of all or substantially all of the assets of such entity or otherwise; (iv) services rendered to or equipment leases of the Company.


 


6.13     Most
Favored Nation Provision.


 


6.13.1         Until
the earliest of (a) the third year anniversary of the date hereof; (b) the date that the Purchaser no longer owns any securities
sold in the Offering; or (c) the date that the Company’s shares of Common Stock are approved for uplisting to a senior U.S.
stock exchange such as The NASDAQ STOCK MARKET or the NYSE MKT, in the event that the Company issues or sells any shares of Common
Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to which shares of Common Stock may be acquired at a price less than the $0.25
per share (subject to appropriate adjustments for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar
transaction after the date hereof) (such lower price, the “Base Price” and such issuances, collectively,
a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Company shall promptly issue additional shares of Common Stock to such
Purchaser, for no additional consideration, in an amount sufficient so that the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price paid by
such Purchaser hereunder attributable to the Conversion Shares then held, shall be reduced to a price (rounded to the nearest
cent) when multiplied by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a
fully diluted basis immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received or to be received by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the
Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the Base Price; and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock
so issued in connection with the Dilutive Issuance (such adjustment, a “Dilution Adjustment”). Such
Dilution Adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
6.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as herein defined). No adjustment shall be made hereunder which would require
any Purchaser to surrender any shares of Common Stock to the Company.


 




    	27



    	 



    

 


For
the purposes of this Sub-Section, Exempt Issuance shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees,
officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the
non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established
for such purpose (collectively, the “ESOP”) and as further qualified by the provisions set forth in
Section 6.14, (b) except as specifically provided herein, securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Securities
issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement
to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities
and which securities and the principal terms thereof are set forth on Schedule 3.3.2, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions
or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance
shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company
or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional
benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities
primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.


 


In
addition to the rights described above, if at any time while the Purchaser holds any Securities, any anti-dilution rights existing
prior to the Initial Closing of the Offering shall be triggered causing the Company to issue additional shares of Common Stock
(the “Existing Right Issuances”), the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, on a pro rata basis,
the number of additional shares of Common Stock that shall be required so that immediately following the Existing Rights Issuance,
the Purchasers shall retain the same percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as owned of record immediately
prior to the Existing Rights Issuance.


 


6.14         ESOP.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Placement Agent, the ESOP in addition to the terms set forth in Section 6.13, shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issuable under the ESOP shall be
limited to fifteen percent (the “ESOP Threshold”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock;
as such number of shares of Common Stock underlying that percentage may be adjusted on an annual basis. The ESOP Threshold shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any issued and outstanding grants under the Company’s 2002 Equity
Incentive Plan and the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive
Plan or any other future ESOP. Within 30 days of the Final Closing Date, executive officers and key employees shall be entitled
to receive at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate sum of any issued and outstanding grants under the ESOP and any grants
to the CEO shall not exceed twenty percent of the aggregate sum of any issued and outstanding grants under the ESOP. In this regard,
the Company shall periodically inform the Placement Agent of the status of its compliance with this Section. If the Company fails
to comply timely with the ESOP provisions, then the Company shall pay the Purchasers $50,000 for each 30 day period (or any portion
of such period) that the Company is not in compliance.

6.15         Board
Composition. Simultaneous with an Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as applicable, with respect to Units in the minimum
amount of $3,000,000 (exclusive of any amounts received from the Company Investors), the Company shall ensure that the entire
Board of Directors shall be comprised of seven directors. In the event the Company enters into a merger, acquisition, consolidation,
or similar transaction, then the Company may increase the size of its Board of Directors to eight directors.


 


Within
30 days of the Final Closing, two (2) persons (each, an “Investor Nominee”) nominated by the Placement
Agent, shall have been approved for seats on the Board of Directors. To this end, the Board of Directors may during such 30-day
period, reject each Investor Nominee once so long as there is a valid business reason. To be free from doubt, if Investor Nominee
#1 for Board seat # 1 is rejected, then Investor Nominee #2 for Board seat #1 will be automatically accepted for Board seat #1
during such 30 day period.


 


6.16         Information
Statement. The Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC by no later than September 15, 2014 an Information Statement
that is fully compliant with Regulation 14C promulgated under the Exchange Act including, but not limited to the authorization
to effectuate an amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the amount of authorized shares of Common Stock so
that the Company has sufficient shares of Common Stock available for the Offering and any contemplated capital raises by the Company.
The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Information Statement to be delivered to the Company’s shareholders
and file the certificate of amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the increase in Common Stock as soon
as practicable thereafter in accordance with the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and Delaware law.

Party or as a director or officer of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or similar securities law, or any other Requirements of Law or otherwise, which relate
directly or indirectly to the registration, purchase, sale or ownership of any securities of the Company or to any fiduciary obligation
owed with respect thereto), including, without limitation, in connection with any action or claim relating to any action taken
or omitted to be taken or alleged to have been taken or omitted to have been taken by such Indemnified Party as a security holder;
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.1.4
against any Indemnified Losses resulting from or arising out of any such action or claim if it has been adjudicated by a final
and non-appealable determination of a court or other trier of fact of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Losses were
the result of (a) a breach of such Indemnified Party’s fiduciary duty, (b) any action or omission made by the Indemnified
Party in bad faith, (c) such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct, or (d) any criminal action on the part of such Indemnified
Party.

Rights Agreement.
