SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT







THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated April 22, 2016, by and between Blue Calypso, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the purchasers identified on the signature page hereto (each, a "Purchaser" and collectively, the “Purchasers”).


R E C I T A L S:







WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase and the Company desires to sell securities on the terms and conditions set forth herein.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises hereof and the agreements set forth herein below, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


1. The Offering.


(a) Private Offering.  The securities offered by this Agreement are being offered in a private offering (the "Offering") of up to $1,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”), consisting of up to 609,756 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and detachable warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 609,756 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Shares and Warrants will be sold in units (the “Units”) with each Unit comprised of one (1) Share and one (1) detachable Warrant at a purchase price of $1.64 (the “Purchase Price”) per Unit.  The Units will be sold on a reasonable “best efforts” basis pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.  The Shares and the Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Securities.” The Units are being offered solely to a limited number of “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act during an offering period (the “Offering Period”) commencing April 22, 2016 and terminating not later than April 30, 2016 (the “Termination Date”).  The Offering may be terminated by the Company at any time in its sole discretion.  


(b) No Minimum Offering Amount.  Funds shall be released to the Company upon the Company’s execution of this Agreement and the Company is not required to raise any minimum amount of proceeds prior to executing this Agreement or any similar agreement with other investors and obtaining such funds.  Because there is no minimum amount of subscriptions which the Company must receive before accepting funds in the Offering, Purchaser will not be assured that the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or satisfy its working capital requirements and will bear the risk that the Company will be unable to secure the funds necessary to meet its current and anticipated financial obligations.  



 










(c) Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general working capital purposes.


2. Sale and Purchase of Securities.


(a) Purchase and Sale.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell, and Purchaser irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase, the number of Units set forth on the signature page of this Agreement at a purchase price of $1.64 per Unit. The aggregate purchase price for the Units shall be as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) and shall be payable upon execution hereof by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds as set forth below.


(b) Subscription Procedure.  In order to purchase Units, Purchaser shall deliver to the Company at 101 W. Renner Rd., Suite 200, Richardson, TX 75082: Chief Executive Officer: (i) one completed and duly executed copy of this Agreement; and (ii) immediately available funds, or a certified check or bank check, in an amount equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price.  Execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an irrevocable subscription for that number of Units set forth on the signature page hereto.  Payment for the Units may be made by wire transfer to:  


XXXXXXXXX


XXXXXXXXX


XXXXXXXXX


XXXXXXXXX


ABA number: XXXXXXXX


Account number:XXXXXXXX







or by check made payable to:  “Blue Calypso, Inc.”  Receipt by the Company of funds wired, or deposit and collection by the Company of the check tendered herewith, will not constitute acceptance of this Agreement by the Company.  The Units subscribed for will not be deemed to be issued to, or owned by, Purchaser until the Company has executed this Agreement.  All funds tendered by Purchaser will be held by the Company pending acceptance or rejection of this Agreement by the Company and the closing of Purchaser’s purchase of Units.  This Agreement will either be accepted by the Company, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion, or rejected by the Company as promptly as practicable.  If this Agreement is accepted only in part, Purchaser agrees to purchase such smaller number of Units as the Company determines to sell to Purchaser.  If this Agreement is rejected for any reason, including the termination of the Offering by the Company, this Agreement and all funds tendered herewith will be promptly returned to Purchaser, without interest or deduction of any kind, and this Agreement will be void and of no further force or effect.



2















 (c) Closing.  Subscriptions will be accepted by the Company in its sole discretion until the Termination Date.  Upon the Company’s execution of this Agreement, the subscription evidenced hereby, if not previously rejected by the Company, will, in reliance upon Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained herein, be accepted, in whole or in part, by the Company.  If Purchaser’s subscription is accepted only in part, this Agreement will be marked to indicate such fact, and the Company will return to Purchaser the portion of the funds tendered by Purchaser representing the unaccepted portion of Purchaser’s subscription, without interest or deduction of any kind.  Upon acceptance of this Agreement, in whole or in part, by the Company, the Company will issue the certificates for the Sharers and the Warrants to Purchaser.  


3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.  Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:


(a) Organization and Qualification.  


(i) If Purchaser is an entity, Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with the corporate or other entity power and authority to own and operate its business as presently conducted, except where the failure to be or have any of the foregoing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser, and Purchaser is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of their activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or in good standing as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on it.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any of (i) a material and adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Documents, (ii) a material and adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the Company and subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) any material adverse impairment to the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document.


(ii) If Purchaser is an entity, the address of its principal place of business is as set forth on the signature page hereto, and if Purchaser is an individual, the address of its principal residence is as set forth on the signature page hereto.


(b) Authority; Validity and Effect of Agreement.  


(i) If Purchaser is an entity, Purchaser has the requisite corporate or other entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any documents contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.  The execution and delivery of each Transaction Document by Purchaser, the performance by Purchaser of its obligations thereunder, and all other necessary corporate or other entity action on the part of Purchaser have been duly authorized by its board of directors or similar governing body, and no other corporate or other entity proceedings on the part of Purchaser is necessary for Purchaser to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and perform its obligations thereunder.



3










(ii) Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming each has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, in accordance with its terms.


(c) No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.  Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Purchaser nor the performance by Purchaser of its obligations, thereunder will: (i) if Purchaser is an entity, conflict with Purchaser’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, or other similar organizational documents; (ii) violate any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, applicable to Purchaser or any of the properties or assets of Purchaser; or (iii) violate, breach, be in conflict with or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or permit the termination of any provision of, or result in the termination of, the acceleration of the maturity of, or the acceleration of the performance of any obligation of Purchaser under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any properties, assets or business of Purchaser under, any material contract or any order, judgment or decree to which Purchaser is a party or by which it or any of its assets or properties is bound or encumbered except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for such violations, breaches, conflicts, defaults or other occurrences which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on its obligation to perform its covenants under this Agreement.


(d) Accredited Investor.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.  If Purchaser is an entity, Purchaser was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares, and, if it was, all of Purchaser’s equity owners are “accredited investors” as defined above.


(e) No Government Review.  Purchaser understands that neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any securities commission or other governmental authority of any state, country or other jurisdiction has approved the issuance of the Units or passed upon or endorsed the merits of this Agreement, the Shares, or any of the other documents relating to the proposed Offering, or confirmed the accuracy of, determined the adequacy of, or reviewed this Agreement, the Shares or such other documents.


(f) Investment Intent.  The Securities are being acquired for the Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same.  By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or third person with respect to any of the Securities.



4










(g) Restrictions on Transfer.  Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law, and may not be, directly or indirectly, sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption therefrom.  In any case where such an exemption is relied upon by Purchaser from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of such state securities laws, Purchaser shall furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel stating that the proposed sale or other disposition of such securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not result in any violation of any applicable state securities laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale, such counsel and opinion to be satisfactory to the Company.  Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, and that its overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth. In the event that the Purchaser desires to transfer the Securities in reliance on the provisions of Rule 144 or other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of any state securities laws, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with a certificate containing factual representations that may be reasonably requested by the Company. Upon receipt of such certificate, and assuming that all other conditions imposed by law or regulation to reliance on such exemption have been satisfied (for example, the Company being current in its filings with the SEC, the Company shall promptly (i) cause its counsel to deliver a legal opinion stating that the proposed sale or other disposition of such securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not result in any violation of any applicable state securities laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale, and (ii) after receipt of such legal opinion, take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect such transfer of Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to deliver an opinion of counselor any documentation other than the Certificate attached hereto, unless such document is strictly required under applicable law or regulation.


(h) Investment Experience.  Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial, tax and business matters in general, and investments in securities in particular, that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Securities, and Purchaser has made such investigations in connection herewith as it deemed necessary or desirable so as to make an informed investment decision without relying upon the Company for legal or tax advice related to this investment.  In making its decision to acquire the Securities, Purchaser has not relied upon any information other than information provided to Purchaser by the Company or its representatives and contained herein.



5










(i) Access to Information.  Purchaser acknowledges that it has had access to and has reviewed all documents and records relating to the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company SEC Documents, that it has deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the Shares; that it has had the opportunity to ask representatives of the Company certain questions and request certain additional information regarding the terms and conditions of such investment and the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company and has had any and all such questions and requests answered to its satisfaction; and that it understands the risks and other considerations relating to such investment.  Purchaser understands any statement contained in the Company SEC Documents shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this Agreement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other document subsequently filed with the SEC modifies or supersedes such statement.  


(j) Reliance on Representations.  Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.  Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that any information that Purchaser has heretofore furnished or furnishes herewith to the Company is complete and accurate, and further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Securities.  Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is subject.


(k) No General Solicitation.  Purchaser is unaware of, and in deciding to participate in the Offering is in no way relying upon, and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio or the internet, in connection with the Offering.


(l) Placement and Finder’s Fees.  No agent, broker, investment banker, finder, financial advisor or other person acting on behalf of Purchaser or under its authority is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Offering, and no person is entitled to any fee or commission or like payment in respect thereof based in any way on agreements, arrangements or understanding made by or on behalf of Purchaser.


(m) Investment Risks.  Purchaser understands that purchasing Securities in the Offering will subject Purchaser to certain risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Company SEC Documents as well as each of the following:



6













(i) The offering price of the Securities offered hereby has been determined solely by the Company and does not necessarily bear any relationship to the value of the Company’s assets, current or potential earnings of the Company, or any other recognized criteria used for measuring value and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the offering price of the Securities is representative of the actual value of the Securities.


(ii) In order to capitalize the Company, execute its business plan, and for other corporate purposes, the Company has issued, and expects to issue additional shares of Common Stock, securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, or debt.  Such securities have been and may be issued for a purchase price consisting of cash, services or other consideration that may be materially different than the purchase price of the Units.  The issuance of any such securities may result in substantial dilution to the relative ownership interests of the Company’s existing shareholders and substantial reduction in net book value per share.  Additional equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of Common Stock, and any debt financing may involve restrictive covenants that may limit the Company’s operating flexibility.


(iii) An investment in the Securities may involve certain material legal, accounting and federal and state tax consequences.  Purchaser should consult with its legal counsel, accountant and/or business adviser as to the legal, accounting, tax and related matters accompanying such an investment.


(n) There is no minimum amount required to be raised in this Offering and, therefore, the Company may not generate enough net proceeds from this Offering to execute its business plan or satisfy its working capital requirements.  


(o) Legends.  The certificates and agreements evidencing the Securities shall have endorsed thereon the following legend (and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock transfer books), and stop transfer instructions reflecting these restrictions on transfer will be placed with the transfer agent of the Shares:


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE REGISTERED OWNER FOR INVESTMENT, AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION DOES NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER OR OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.



7















(o) Purchaser is directed to review the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at www.treas.gov. before making the following representations.  Purchaser represents that no part of the Aggregate Purchase Price set forth on the signature page hereto was directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and executive orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transaction with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals.  The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found at the OFAC website. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC prohibit dealing with individuals or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.  Purchaser hereby represents that none of the following is named on the OFAC list, nor is a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC programs: (i) the Purchaser, (ii) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser, (iii) if the undersigned is an entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser, or (iv) any person for whom the undersigned is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be required to disclose the identity of the Purchaser to OFAC.







(p) The Purchaser acknowledges that due to anti-money laundering regulations within their respective jurisdictions, the Company and/or any person acting on behalf of the Company may require further documentation verifying the Purchaser’s identity and the source of funds used to purchase Units before this Agreement can be accepted.  The Purchaser further agrees to provide the Company at any time with such information as the Company determines to be necessary and appropriate to verify compliance with the anti-money laundering regulations of any applicable jurisdiction or to respond to requests for information concerning the identity of the Purchaser from any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or financial institution in connection with its anti-money laundering compliance procedures, and to update such information as necessary.



8










(q) Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior to the Date Hereof.  Other than the transaction contemplated hereunder, Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Purchaser, executed any disposition, including Short Sales (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that Purchaser first received written or oral notice of this Offering from the Company or any other person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder or this Agreement until the date hereof (“Discussion Time”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.  Other than to other persons party to this Agreement, Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).


4. Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:


(a) Organization and Qualification.  The Company is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the corporate power and authority to own and operate its business as presently conducted, except where the failure to be or have any of the foregoing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.  The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of their activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or in good standing as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. 


(b) Authority; Validity and Effect of Agreement.  


(i) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Documents, perform its obligations thereunder, and conduct the Offering.  The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, the transactions contemplated thereby, the Offering, and all other necessary corporate action on the part of the Company have been duly authorized by its board of directors, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize each of the Transaction Documents or the Offering.  Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that each has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.



9










(ii) The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable with no personal liability resulting solely from the ownership of such Securities and will be free and clear of all liens, charges, restrictions, claims and encumbrances imposed by or through the Company.  The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance of the Warrant Shares.







(c) No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.  Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company nor the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will: (i) conflict with the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) violate any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, applicable to the Company or any of the properties or assets of the Company; or (iii) violate, breach, be in conflict with or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or permit the termination of any provision of, or result in the termination of, the acceleration of the maturity of, or the acceleration of the performance of any obligation of the Company, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any properties, assets or business of the Company under, any material contract or any order, judgment or decree to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its assets or properties is bound or encumbered except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for such violations, breaches, conflicts, defaults or other occurrences which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on its obligation to perform its covenants under this Agreement.


(d) SEC Reports and Financial Statements.  The Company has filed with the SEC, and has heretofore made available to Purchaser, true and complete copies of all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.  In addition, the Company has incorporated by reference into this Agreement the Company SEC Documents.  As of their respective dates or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, the Company SEC Documents, including any financial statements or schedules included therein: (i) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (ii) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.  Each of the financial statements included in the Company SEC Documents have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the books and records of the Company, comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the dates thereof or for the periods presented therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments not material in amount).

Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents and press releases  by the Company, the Company and each of its subsidiaries has, or has rights to use, all of their respective intellectual property including, but not limited to, all patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights as described in the Company SEC Documents as necessary or required for use in connection with their respective and combined business and businesses and which the failure to so could have a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, their respective intellectual property has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned.  Neither the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the Company SEC Documents, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that any of their respective intellectual property violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect.

6. Piggyback Registration.


(a) Until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Purchaser may sell all of the “Registrable Securities” (as defined below) owned by Purchaser without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (ii) the date on which the Purchaser shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities owned by Purchaser, (the “Registration Period”), whenever the Company proposes to register any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable, or a Registration Statement on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor form thereto or another form not available for registering the Securities for sale to the public), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of Registration Statement to be used may be used for any registration of Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than 10 days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement) to the Purchaser and the other holders of securities subject to piggyback registration rights (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 6(b) and Section 6(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities within 5 days after the Company's notice has been given to each such holder . The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion and/or reduce the amount of shares to be included in such registration as a result of rules, regulations, positions or releases issued or actions taken by the SEC pursuant to its authority with respect to Rule 415, promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Section 6, the term “Registrable Securities” means (x) the Shares, (y) the Warrant Shares, (z) any Common Stock of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Shares or Warrant Shares including, without limitation, as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise, and (aa) any other shares of Common Stock of the Company which are subject to piggyback registration rights.



12















(b) If during the Registration Period, a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, all Selling Stockholders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall be required to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If during the Registration Period, a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Selling Stockholders (if any Selling Stockholders have elected to be included in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering and/or the Company is unable to include in such registration all of the securities as a result of rules, regulations, positions or releases issued or actions taken by the SEC pursuant to its authority with respect to Rule 415, promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell on its own behalf; and (ii) second, the number of all other shares of Common Stock required to be included as a result of contractual demand or piggyback registration rights, allocated among such holders pro rata on the basis of the number of securities to be included in such registration, or in such manner as they may otherwise agree.







(c) If during the Registration Period, a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Registrable Securities as a result of contractual demand or mandatory registration rights, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering and/or the Company is unable to include in such registration all of the Registrable Securities as a result of rules, regulations, positions or releases issued or actions taken by the SEC pursuant to its authority with respect to Rule 415, promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock required to be included as a result of contractual demand or mandatory registration rights, (ii) second, the number of shares of Common Stock required to be included therein as a result of contractual piggyback registration rights, allocated among such holders pro rata according to the number of shares to be included in such registration; and (iii) third, the number of all other shares of Common Stock to be included as determined jointly by the Company and managing underwriter.



13















(d) If any Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering.







(e) Registration Procedures.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, whenever it is obligated to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall:







(i) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities in the manner set forth in this Section 6 and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter;







(ii) furnish to each Selling Stockholder such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such person may reasonably request in order facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;







(iii) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the state securities laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Stockholder shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;







(iv) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.  Each Selling Stockholder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement, as described in Section 6(b);







(v) immediately notify each Selling Stockholder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required or necessary to be stated therein in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.  The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;



14















(vi) notify each Selling Stockholder of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order of which the Company or its counsel is aware or should be aware suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any order preventing the use of a related prospectus, or the initiation or any threats of any proceedings for such purposes;







(vii) notify each Selling Stockholder of the receipt by the Company of any written notification of the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any threats of any proceeding for that purpose; and







(viii) cooperate in the timely removal of any restrictive legends from the shares of Registrable Securities in connection with the resale of such shares covered by an effective Registration Statement.







(f) Expenses.







(i) For the purposes of this Section 6(f), the term “Registration Expenses” shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 6, including, without limitation, all registration, qualifying and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, fees and expenses under state securities laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and fees and expenses of listing shares of Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s shares are listed.  The term “Selling Expenses” shall mean all underwriting discounts, broker and other selling fees and commissions, stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of the Registrable Securities.







(ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Section 6.  All Selling Expenses in connection with any Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Section 6 shall be borne by the Selling Stockholders pro rata on the basis of the number of shares registered by each Selling Stockholder whose shares of Registrable Securities are covered by such Registration Statement, or by such persons other than the Company (except to the extent the Company may be a seller) as they may agree upon.







(g) Obligations of the Selling Stockholders.



15















(i) In connection with each registration hereunder, each Selling Stockholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to it and the securities held by it and the proposed distribution by it, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in order to assure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws as a condition precedent to including the Selling Stockholder's Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement.  Each Selling Stockholder shall also promptly notify the Company in writing of any changes in such information included in the Registration Statement or prospectus as a result of which there is an untrue statement of material fact or an omission to state any material fact required or necessary to be stated therein in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.







(ii) In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, each Selling Stockholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with such Registration Statement or prospectus.







(iii) In connection with each registration pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Stockholder agrees that it will not affect sales of any Registrable Securities until notified by the Company of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and thereafter will suspend such sales after receipt of notice from the Company to suspend sales to permit the Company to correct or update a Registration Statement or prospectus or upon receipt by the Company of a threat by the SEC or state securities commission to undertake a stop order with respect to sales under the Registration Statement.  At the end of any period during which the Company is obligated to keep a Registration Statement current, each Selling Stockholder shall discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement which remains unsold, and each Selling Stockholder shall notify the Company in writing of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.







(h) Information Blackout and Holdbacks.







(i) At any time when a Registration Statement effected pursuant to this Section 6 is effective, upon written notice from the Company to the Selling Stockholder that the Company has determined in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information, the Selling Stockholder shall suspend sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such time as the Company notifies the Selling Stockholder that such material information has been disclosed to the public or has ceased to be material, or that sales pursuant to such Registration Statement may otherwise be resumed.



16















(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Selling Stockholder shall not affect any sale or other transfer, or make any short sale of, any Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by such Selling Stockholder (other than those included in a Registration Statement) during the 180-day period following the effective date of any primary offering undertaken by the Company of shares of its Common Stock, (“Primary Offering”), which may also include other securities, unless the Company, in the case of a non-underwritten Primary Offering, or the managing underwriter, in the case of an underwritten Primary Offering, otherwise agree. The obligations described in this Section 6(h)(ii) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.









7. Beneficial Ownership Filings.  The Company will draft and file, at the Company’s expense, a Form 3, Form 4 and Schedule 13D OR Schedule 13G, if applicable, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and upon the Purchaser’s request, any future Section 13 and Section 16 filings relating to Purchaser’s ownership of the Securities. Purchaser agrees to provide the Company with all information required by any Section 13 or Section 16 filing within 24 hours after the occurrence of the event triggering such filing.  Purchaser hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and legal counsel against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the preparation or filing of, or the substantive information contained in, any filings contemplated under this Section 7, except to the extent arising out of or based upon the Company’s negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under this Section 7.


8. Board Nominee.  Provided the Purchaser purchases the Maximum Amount of Units, the Purchaser shall have the right to submit the name of one individual for nomination to the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and applicable laws, subject to the reasonable approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

10. Non-Public Information.  Purchaser acknowledges that certain information concerning the matters that are the subject matter of this Agreement constitute material non-public information under United States federal securities laws, and that United States federal securities laws prohibit any person who has received material non-public information relating to the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company, or from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities of the Company.  Accordingly, until such time as any such non-public information has been adequately disseminated to the public, Purchaser shall not purchase or sell any securities of the Company, or communicate such information to any other person.


11. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereto, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, guarantees or covenants except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

14. Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no party hereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other party hereto.  Except as provided in Section 5, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person not a party hereto (and their successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
