does not subject the Company to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company is in compliance 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, reasonably

(ii) is not in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) neither
is nor has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation

orders, permits, plans or regulations, issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder (“Environmental Laws”);
(ii) has received all permits licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses; and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where

(n)       Regulatory
Permits. The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local
or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business, except where the failure to possess such permits could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and the Company has not
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.


 


(o)       Title
to Assets. The Company has good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by it and good and marketable
title in all personal property owned by it that is material to the business of the Company, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes,
for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent
nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company are held by it under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with which the Company is in compliance.


 


(p)       Intellectual
Property. The Company has, or has rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service
marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights
as necessary or required for use in connection with its business and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse
Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). The Company has not 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. The Company has not received 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 has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of
their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(q)       Insurance.
The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company is engaged. The Company is in the process of obtaining directors
and officers insurance coverage of at least $5 million. Such insurance shall be obtained within 30 days of the date hereof. The
Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase
in cost.

the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with

(w)       Registration
Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(v), no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registrations
under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company.


 


(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 articles of incorporation 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.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel

and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business 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.

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 the Securities Act which would require
the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act.

(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(aa)
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company, or for which the Company 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. The Company
is not in default with respect to any Indebtedness.


 


(bb)      Tax
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 (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 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.

or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully

of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

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 is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act.


 


(ff)      Seniority.
As of the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior to the Debentures 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,
immediately following the Closing, the Company is (or will be) 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.


 


(hh)      Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting
solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in

of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted
under the Company’s stock option plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has
been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of
stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its financial results

(nn)      No
Disqualification Events. With respect to the Securities to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the
Securities Act, none of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer
of the Company participating in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding
voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”
and, together, “Issuer Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications
described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for
a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any
Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure
obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

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,
in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):


 


(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

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

(b)       Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered

federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.


 


(c)       Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on

(a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, 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

Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this 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

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 form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this 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:


 


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


 




    	 	22	 



    	 



    

 


(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 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 if
required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Debenture or Preferred
Stock is converted 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 without 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) or applicable law, 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 provided that the Common Stock is then registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.


 


(d)       In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) 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 and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver
(or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to
the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such
Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company
without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage
commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such
number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by
(B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery
by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery
and payment under this clause (ii).

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,

as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.


 


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.

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)       From
and after the Public Company Date, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement

the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (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 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.

of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Debentures or Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding

or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required in order to convert the Debentures or Preferred Stock. No additional
legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to convert their Debentures or Preferred
Stock. The Company shall, subject to applicable law, honor conversions of the Debentures and 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

Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall
promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.


 


4.7       Shareholder

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.


 




    	 	25	 



    	 



    

 


4.8       Non-Public
Information. From and after the Public Company Date, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person

Date, the Company agrees to publicly disclose any and all material non-public information provided to the Purchasers. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non -public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s
consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to Company or
any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company or any of their respective

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
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all
judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such
Purchaser 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
and Listing of Securities.


 


(a)       The
Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant
to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.


 


(b)       If,
on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required
Minimum on such date, 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, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.


 




    	 	27	 



    	 



    

 


(c)       The

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. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock
for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation,
by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such
electronic transfer.


 


4.12       Termination

4.13       Subsequent
Equity Sales.


 


(a)       Other
than pursuant to Section 4.18 hereof or with the prior written consent of each Purchaser, after the date hereof until the Public
Company Date, the Company shall not 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)       During
the term of any Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 4.16), the Company shall not issue, enter into any agreement to issue
or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.


 


(c)       From
the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Preferred Stock or Debentures, the Company shall be prohibited
from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company 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 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, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity
line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities 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.


 




    	 	28	 



    	 



    

 


(d)       From
the date hereof until such time as the Preferred Stock and Debentures are no longer outstanding, the Company shall not make any
issuance whatsoever of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at an effective price per share below $1.00 (subject to adjustment
for forward and reverse stock splits and the like that occur after the Closing Date). 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.


 


(e)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.




 


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 the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal
or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures
at any applicable time. 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       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.


 


4.16       Lock-
Up of Convertible Securities. In the event that the Company consummates an Offering with net cash proceeds of at least $10
million on or before the 12 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Public Offering”), then each
Purchaser agrees to execute a lock-up agreement with respect to the Underlying Shares (the “Lock- Up Agreement”)
in the same form contemplated by the investors in the Private Offering, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers.
The term of the Lock-Up Agreement shall in no event exceed the 6-month anniversary of the date of the final prospectus for the
Public Offering. For the purposes of clarification, the Lock-Up Agreement shall only apply to the Underlying Shares; provided,
however, that the Lock-Up Agreement shall not apply to shares of Common Stock issued in lieu of cash for a Quarterly Redemption
(as defined in the Debentures).

4.18       Additional
Option.


 


(a)       Subject
to the Company’s approval, which approval may be denied within its sole and absolute discretion, from the date hereof until
the earlier of (i) September 1, 2017, (ii) the consummation of the Public Offering, or (iii) the occurrence of a Change of Control
Event (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations), each Purchaser may elect to purchase, severally and not jointly

Additional Rights”).


 


(b)       The
exercise of any Option Additional Right to invest exercised by a Purchaser shall be completed on the 5th Business Day
following the delivery to the Company of a duly delivered exercise notice by the exercising Purchaser. Any additional investment

In order to effectuate a purchase and sale of the Additional Securities, the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into a Securities

and shall include updated disclosure schedules.

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.


 


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 a Debenture or Preferred Stock, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any
shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion.

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.


 


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 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 any of the
Purchasers, other than Hillair. 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.


 


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.
