with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate,

(m)          Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.


 


(n)          Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,

applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights
and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses

None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual
Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2)
years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual
Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have
a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is
no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except

a significant increase in cost.

in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses

Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The
Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that:
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s
certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries
as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation
Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined
in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Fees. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(s), no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable
by the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank

(u)          Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will
not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


(v)         Registration
Rights. Other than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the

and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the
Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.


 


(x)          Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.


 


(y)          Disclosure.
All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their
respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and
correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated
by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do 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
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other
than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(z)          No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made
any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering
of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require
the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any
Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. 


 


(aa)         Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the
Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(z) sets
forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the
Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any
liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local
income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,
(ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due
on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of
all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or
of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.


 


(cc)         No
General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers
and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any
unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns
from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person
acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision
of FCPA.


 


(ee)         Accountants.
The Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule 3.1(ee) of the Disclosure Schedules. To the knowledge and belief
of the Company, such accounting firm: (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall
express its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2012.


 


(ff)         Seniority.
As of the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(ff), no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior
to the Preferred Stock in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise,
other than indebtedness secured by purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby)
and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to the property covered thereby).


 


(gg)         No
Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and
the Company is current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect the Company’s ability
to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given
by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions

based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or
other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions,
before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s
publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv) each
Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative”
transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.15 hereof,

including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities
are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity
interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges
that such aforementioned hedging activities if done in compliance with Section 4.14 hereof will not constitute a breach of any
of the Transaction Documents.

any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other

applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970,
as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money

3.2           Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):


 




    	22



    	 



    

 


(a)          Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.


 


(b)          Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account
and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to
distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.


 


(c)          Purchaser
Status and No Financing Contingency. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof
it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts any shares of Preferred Stock, it will be either: (i) an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii)
a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser represents and
warrants to the Company that such Purchaser has all the readily available funds in its possession which are necessary to close
the transactions described in this Agreement without any delay or other need to obtain financing to perform its obligations under
this Agreement.


 


(d)          Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(e)          General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented
at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.


 




    	23



    	 



    

 


(f)          Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly
or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases
or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that
such Purchaser first communicated in December 10, 2012 with the Company or any other Person representing the Company regarding
the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions
made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such 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, such Purchaser has maintained the
confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty,
or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow
in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


The Company acknowledges and agrees that
the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction
Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of
the transaction contemplated hereby.


 


ARTICLE IV.


OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1           Transfer
Restrictions.


 


(a)          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, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in
connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), 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 fees and expenses of which shall
be borne by 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 the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement.


 


(b)          The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following
form:


 




    	24



    	 



    

 


NEITHER THIS
SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE OR CONVERTIBLE HAS 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 EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT
TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY
A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA
FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR”
AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.


 


The Company
acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged
or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further,
no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver
such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or
transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) thereunder.


 




    	25



    	 



    

 


(c)          Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while
a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities
Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale
under Rule 144 or (iv) 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 Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the
Transfer Agent promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any shares of
Preferred Stock are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement
to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in
compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if the Underlying Shares may be sold 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
Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission)
then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is
no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to
the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend
(such third 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 4. Certificates
for Underlying 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.


 


(d)          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, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities
are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $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 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.         


 


(e)          Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements,
or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.


 




    	26



    	 



    

 


4.2           Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations
under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless
of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect
that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.


 


4.3           Furnishing
of Information; Public Information.


 


(a)           If the Common Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof, the Company agrees
to cause the Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the 60th calendar day
following the date hereof. Until the earliest of the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to 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 reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.


 


(b)           At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that
all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if 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 aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every
thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty 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 the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant
to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public Information
Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information
Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to
the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure
Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month
(prorated for partial months) until paid in full. 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.


 




    	27



    	 



    

 


4.4           Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined
in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior
to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.


 


4.5           Conversion
and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion
included in the Certificate of Designation set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise
the Warrants or convert the Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice
of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of
Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Preferred Stock. No additional
legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their
Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.


 


4.6           Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the
date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K and press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. On and after the earlier of (a) March 27, 2013 or (b) the Trading
Day immediately prior to the effective date of the initial Registration Statement (such date, the “Disclosure Date”),
the Company shall make a representation and covenant to the Purchaser that it shall have either (i) publicly disclosed all material,
non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents, or (ii) confirmed in writing to the Purchasers that any such material, non-public information
is no longer material and/or otherwise is not required to be publicly disclosed. On and after such date, the Company shall confirm
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any
information that it believes then constitutes or might then constitute material, non-public information at that time (or represent
that any such information as of such date is stale and no longer material, non-public information). The Company understands and
confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, in the event that, on and after the Disclosure Date, the Company
does not, or is unable, to represent and covenant to the Purchasers that the Purchasers are no longer in possession of information
that the Company believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser,
in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount per day equal to 0.33% of such Purchaser’s Subscription
Amount until the date that Company provides the Purchasers with the required representations and covenant. Nothing herein shall
limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to make such representation as required
hereunder, 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. The Company and each

the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any such press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each
Purchaser, with respect to any such press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
except if such disclosure is required by law, rule or regulation, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the
other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly
disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency
or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities laws, rules
or regulations in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the
filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by laws, rules and/or
Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted
under this clause (b).

Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities
under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.


 


4.8           Non-Public

the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser
shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

4.10         Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles

Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the
Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not
an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless
such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such
Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence,
willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time
to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not
be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a
loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course
of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall
be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.


 


4.11         Reservation

    	30



    	 



    

 


(b)          If,
on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 200% of (i) the
Required Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the
number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event
not later than the 75th day after such date; provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize
a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued
after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.


 


(c)          The
Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading
Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum
on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing
or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or
quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on
such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.


 


4.12         Participation
in Future Financing.


 


(a)          From
the date hereof until the date that is the later of (i) the 18 month anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the date that Purchaser
no longer holds any of its Preferred Stock, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common
Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units hereof (a “Subsequent Financing”),
each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent
Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for by the Company
in the Subsequent Financing.


 


(b)          At
least two (2) Trading Days prior to the commencement 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, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall
promptly, but no later than one (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.

(c)          Any
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30

such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing
and warranting that such 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 such notice from a Purchaser as of such fourth (4th) Trading Day, such
Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.


 


(d)          If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) 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.


 


(e)          If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) 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 Subscription Amount of Securities purchased
on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts
of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.


 


(f)          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 4.12, 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 thirty (30) Trading Days after
the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


(g)          The
Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents
related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to
any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination
of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
such Purchaser.

(h)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm
in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly
disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser
will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery
of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such fifteenth (15th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction
with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received
by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession
of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 


 


(i)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.13         Subsequent
Equity Sales.


 


(a)          From
the date hereof until the date that is the earlier of (i) the 3-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the date less than
60% of the initial aggregate Stated Value of Preferred Stock are no longer outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents.


 


(b)          From
the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering
into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means
a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or
exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise
price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares
of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset (other than pursuant to adjustment provisions triggered by the Company subsequently
issuing securities with a lower conversion, exercise or exchange price) at some future date after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business
of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line
of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities to the provider of such equity line of credit at a future determined price.
Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall
be in addition to any right to collect damages.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
any provisions of this Section 4.13 to the contrary, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance or
(ii) after the Closing Date, an issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (subject to the restrictions on the incurrence
of debt and creation and issuance of preferred stock set forth in the Certificate of Designations and rights of the Purchasers
pursuant to Section 4.12 above) provided that the terms under which such securities are sold provide that such third party purchasers
cannot sell or otherwise transfer such securities until the three (3) month anniversary of the Effective Date, which agreement
shall be in the form of a lock-up acceptable to the Purchasers. In no event shall a Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
Issuance other otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section 4.13(c).


 




    	33



    	 



    

 


4.14         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 this Agreement unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat
the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect
to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.


 


4.15         Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained in this Agreement and/or any
other agreement entered into between any of the Purchasers and the Company, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the
other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will
(i) execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing
with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6 or (ii) prior to July __, 2013, execute (but not maintain)
any Short Sales, excluding sales, including Short Sales, made where a corresponding Notice of Conversion or Exercise is tendered
to the Company within three Trading Days of the sale and the shares received upon such exercise or conversion are used to close
out such sale (a “Prohibited Short Sale”).  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant
to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and
terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding
the immediately preceding sentence, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, other than a Prohibited
Short Sale, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6,
(ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance
with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, other than prior
to the Disclosure Date (or such earlier date than the Purchaser no longer possesses material non-public information the on-going
duty of each Purchaser to maintain the confidentiality and non-disclosure of any material, non-public information which the Company
has previously provided to the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed
investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio
managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s
assets, the covenant 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.

4.16         Form
D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation
D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any 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 Purchasers
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.


 


4.17         Capital
Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split
or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the
shares of Preferred Stock.


 


ARTICLE V.


MISCELLANEOUS


 


5.1           Termination. 
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before January 16, 2013; provided, however, that such termination will not affect
the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).


 


5.2           Fees
and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Sabby Management, LLC’s (“Sabby”)

each Purchaser, prior to the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached hereto as Annex A.
Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers,
counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation,
any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any conversion or exercise notice
delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the
Purchasers.


 


5.3           Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.


 




    	35

in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least 67% in interest of the Securities then outstanding
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future
or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay
or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.


 


5.6           Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.


 


5.7           Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to
whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that (i) such transferee is an “accredited investor”
as defined under the Securities Act and (ii) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”


 


5.8           No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. The placement agents of the Company shall be third party beneficiaries with respect to the representations
and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2 hereof. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their

    	36



    	 



    

 


5.9           Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding
is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via overnight delivery (with
evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in
any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding
to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.10,
the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


 


5.10         Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.


 


5.11         Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being
understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.


 


5.12         Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.


 




    	37



    	 



    

 


5.13         Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of a conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required
to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to
such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s
right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate
evidencing such restored right).


 


5.14         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 (in the case of mutilation), 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. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.


 


5.15         Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 


5.16         Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from,
disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


 




    	38



    	 



    

 


5.17         Usury.
To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and
will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce
any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction
Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments
in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”),
and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated
with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such
Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents
is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract
rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof
forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such
excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company,
the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.


 


5.18         Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each
Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent all of the
Purchasers and only represents Sabby. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents
for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.


 


5.19         Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages
or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.


 


5.20         Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.         If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken
or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.


 




    	39



    	 



    

 


5.21         Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.


 


5.22         WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES
EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
