or claims in any other party whatsoever, except as set forth in the legend on the certificate(s), which legend shall provide, in
substantial form, as follows:


 


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR
FROM THE ISSUANCE THEREOF EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
LAWS OR (ii) UPON THE EXPRESS WRITTEN AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY AND COMPLIANCE, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE
ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER THE ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES.)


 




     


     


    

 


2.3           Due
Incorporation. SELLER is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as currently being conducted.
SELLER’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and Amended Certificate of Incorporation are available at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
SELLER, as of the date hereof, has no subsidiaries. SELLER is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, unless the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or would not reasonably
be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other
document in connection with the Placement, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial
condition of SELLER, or (iii) a material adverse effect on SELLER’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely
basis its obligations under this Agreement (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), constituting a “Material Adverse Effect”).


 


2.4           Capitalization;
Ownership of Shares. The authorized capital stock of SELLER consists of 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock. As of April 25, 2016, there are approximately 25,253,347 shares of Common Stock issued and/or issuable on a
fully diluted basis, as follows: (i) 22,031,396 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights, (ii) approximately 1,946,166
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants; and (iii) 1,275,785 shares of Common Stock issuable upon

and as described herein, there are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, agreements, arrangements
or commitments relating to the Common Stock or obligating SELLER to issue or sell any shares of Common Stock, or any other interest
in, SELLER. All outstanding shares of capital stock of SELLER were issued, sold and delivered in material compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws and the similar laws of other foreign jurisdictions as may be applicable. No person has any right
of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated
by the Placement or otherwise. The issue and sale of the Preferred Shares will not obligate SELLER to issue shares of Common Stock
or other securities to any person (other than PURCHASERS) and will not result in a right of any holder of SELLER securities to
adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities.


 


2.5           Authority;
Enforceability. This Agreement and the Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SELLER and are valid and

principles of equity, and SELLER has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder. All corporate action on the part of SELLER by its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance by SELLER of its obligations under this Agreement has been taken.


 


2.6           Consents.

or over any of its affiliates, FINRA, Nasdaq, the OTC Bulletin Board nor SELLER’s stockholders is required for execution
of this Agreement and all other agreements entered into by SELLER relating thereto, including, without limitation, the issuance
and sale of the Securities, and the performance of SELLER’s obligations hereunder and under all such other Agreements identical
to this one except for the identity of the PURCHASERS and Share amounts.


 




     


     


    

 


2.7          No
Violation or Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of PURCHASER herein are true and correct, neither the execution
and delivery of this Agreement nor the issuance and sale of the Securities nor the performance of SELLER’s obligations under
this Agreement and all other agreements entered into by SELLER relating thereto by SELLER will:


 


(i)          violate,
conflict with, result in a material breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the giving of notice or the lapse
of time or both would be reasonably likely to constitute a default) or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation under (A) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of SELLER, (B) any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule,
regulation or determination applicable to SELLER of any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over

of SELLER or any of its affiliates is subject, or (D) the terms of any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting
or similar agreement to which SELLER, or any of its affiliates is a party except the violation, conflict, breach, or default of
which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on SELLER; or


 


(ii)         result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the securities or any of the assets of SELLER or any of its
affiliates.


 


2.8          The
Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares upon issuance:


 


(i)          are,
or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other encumbrances, subject to restrictions upon transfer
under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws;


 


(ii)         have
been, or will be, duly and validly authorized and on the date of issuance will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
(and if eventually registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and resold pursuant
to an effective registration statement will be free trading and unrestricted, provided that each PURCHASER complies with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the 1933 Act and any state securities laws);


 


(iii)        will
not have been issued or sold in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights of the holders of any securities of SELLER;
and


 




     


     


    

 


(iv)        will
not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holders.


 


2.9          Litigation.
There is no pending or, to the knowledge of SELLER, threatened action, suit, proceeding inquiry, notice of violation, or investigation
before any court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory body (federal, state, county, local or foreign), or arbitrator
having jurisdiction over SELLER, or any of its affiliates that would challenge the legality, validity or enforceability of this
Agreement and/or the Placement, or otherwise affect the execution by SELLER or the performance by SELLER of its obligations under
this Agreement, and all other agreements entered into by SELLER relating hereto. Except as disclosed herein or in the Form S-1
Registration Statement SELLER filed on February 11, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“SELLER’S
S-1”), there is no pending or, to the knowledge of SELLER, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any
court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over SELLER, or any of its affiliates which litigation if
adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect on SELLER.


 


2.10        Defaults;
Permits. SELLER is not in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws. SELLER is (i) not in default under or in violation
of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected,
which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect on SELLER, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any
court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of
any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition
or similar matters, or (iii) to its knowledge in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which
violation would have a Material Adverse Effect on SELLER. SELLER possesses all material certificates, authorizations and permits
issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses other
than where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SELLER has not received any notice or otherwise become aware
of any proceedings, inquiries or investigations relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization
or permit.


 


2.11        No
General Solicitation. Neither SELLER, nor any of its affiliates, nor to SELLER’s knowledge, 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 that would
cause the offer of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings or private placements
by SELLER for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. Neither SELLER nor any of its affiliates
will take any action or steps that would cause the offer of the Preferred Shares to be integrated with other offerings if such
integration would eliminate the exemption relied on hereunder. Neither SELLER nor any of its affiliates, nor to SELLER’s
knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within
the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Units.


 




     


     


    

 


2.12        Disclosure.
None of the representations and warranties of SELLER appearing in this Agreement contains, or on December 31, 2016, the closing
date of this Placement or the effective date of SELLER’S S-1, whichever is sooner (the “Closing” or “Closing
Date”) will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits, or on the Closing will omit, to state any material
fact required to be stated herein or therein in order for the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not to be misleading.


 


2.13        No
Undisclosed Liabilities or Events. SELLER has no liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate,
which are not disclosed herein or in SELLER’S S-1, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of SELLER’s businesses
since inception. There has been no event or circumstance that has occurred or exists with respect to SELLER or its businesses,
properties, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires disclosure but which has
not been so publicly announced or disclosed in SELLER’S S-1.


 


2.14        Intellectual
Property. SELLER owns, free and clear of claims or rights of any other person, with full right to use, sell, license, sublicense,
dispose of, and bring actions for infringement of, or has acquired licenses or other rights to use, all intellectual property necessary
for the conduct of its business as presently conducted, other than with respect to “off-the-shelf” software which is
generally commercially available and open source software which may be subject to one or more “general public” licenses.
A complete list of patents, pending patent applications and all other intellectual property can be found in SELLER’S S-1
and is available upon request from SELLER. The business of SELLER as presently conducted does not, to SELLER’s knowledge,
infringe or conflict with any patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret rights of any third parties or any other intellectual
property of any third parties. SELLER has not received written notice from any third party asserting that any intellectual property
owned or licensed by SELLER, or which SELLER otherwise has the right to use, is invalid or unenforceable by SELLER and, to SELLER’s
knowledge, there is no valid basis for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). No claim is pending or, to SELLER’s
knowledge, threatened against SELLER nor has SELLER received any written notice or other written claim from any person asserting
that any of SELLER’s present or contemplated activities infringe or may infringe in any material respect any intellectual
property of such person, and SELLER is not aware of any infringement by any other Person of any material rights of SELLER under
any intellectual property rights. SELLER has taken all steps required in accordance with commercially reasonable business practice
to establish and preserve its respective ownership in its intellectual property and to keep confidential all material technical
information developed by or belonging to SELLER which has not been patented or copyrighted.


 


2.15        Investment
Company Status. SELLER is not, and immediately after receipt of the Final Closing will not be, an “investment company”
or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and SELLER shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will
not become subject to the Investment Company Act.


 




     


     


    

 


2.16        Taxes.
SELLER (i) has prepared in good faith and duly and timely filed all tax returns required to be filed by it or is on a current extension
and such returns are complete and accurate in all material respects and (ii) has paid all taxes required to have been paid by it,
except for taxes which it reasonably disputes in good faith or the failure of which to pay has not had or would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SELLER has no any liability with respect to accrued taxes in excess of the amounts
that are described as accrued in the most recent financial statements included in SELLER’S S-1.


 


2.17        Transactions
with Interested Persons. Except as described in the Seller’s S-1, no officer, director, employee or affiliate of SELLER is
or has taken any steps to become a party to any transaction with SELLER (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental
of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or,
to the knowledge of SELLER, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.


 


2.18        No
Other Agreements. SELLER has not, directly or indirectly, entered into any agreement with or granted any right to any PURCHASER

in all material respects. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive until one year after the Closing Date.


 


2.20        Reissuance
of Securities. SELLER agrees to reissue certificates representing the Preferred Shares and underlying Common Stock without the
legends set forth above, (a) at such time as the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of the Common Stock without volume or manner
of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to SELLER, or (b)
upon resale subject to an effective registration statement concerning the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred
Shares is registered under the 1933 Act. SELLER agrees to cooperate with each PURCHASER in connection with all resales pursuant
to Rule 144 and to provide legal opinions at SELLER’s expense necessary to allow such resales provided SELLER and its counsel
receive reasonably requested written representations from each PURCHASER and its selling broker, if any.


 


ARTICLE 3


REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF PURCHASER


 


3.1.         The
PURCHASER hereby represents and warrants that:


 


(a)          PURCHASER
acknowledges that it has been provided with, and has carefully read, the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit
A, which describes all of the rights and other features of the Preferred Shares. Although I have been given a copy of the SELLER’S
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC. I had a pre-existing relationship with the SELLER and did not learn of the
SELLER through this filing with the SEC. PURCHASER and its representatives have had the opportunity to meet with or talk with representatives
of SELLER and have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of SELLER concerning SELLER,
and the terms and conditions of this transaction, as well as to obtain any information requested by PURCHASER. PURCHASER believes
that any questions raised by PURCHASER or its representatives have been answered to the satisfaction of PURCHASER and its representatives.
PURCHASER’s decision to purchase the Preferred Shares is based, in part, on the answers to such questions as PURCHASER and
its representatives have raised concerning the transaction, and is based in part on its own evaluation of the risks and merits
of the purchase and SELLER’s proposed business activities.


 




     


     


    

 


3.2.          PURCHASER
has been advised that the Preferred Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, or qualified under the securities law of
any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Preferred Shares is to be effected and the
Preferred Shares will be issued by SELLER in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the
meaning of section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act, and under any
applicable state blue sky authority. PURCHASER understands that SELLER is relying in part on PURCHASER's representations as set
forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding
PURCHASER's representations, PURCHASER has in mind merely acquiring Shares for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some
predetermined event. PURCHASER has no such intention.


 


3.3.          PURCHASER
acknowledges that the securities underlying the Preferred Shares will be "restricted securities" (as such term is defined
in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933Act ("Rule 144")), that the securities underlying the Preferred Shares will include
the foregoing restrictive legend, and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, that the securities underlying the Preferred
Shares cannot be sold for a period of one year, notwithstanding other restrictions that apply to the Preferred Shares as more fully
set forth in this Agreement, from the date of issuance unless registered with the SEC and qualified by appropriate state securities
regulators, or unless PURCHASER obtains written consent from the SELLER and otherwise complies with an exemption from such registration
and qualification (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 144).


 


3.4.          The
PURCHASER has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out and consummate the transaction
contemplated herein. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of PURCHASER.


 


3.5.          The
PURCHASER acknowledges that investment in the Preferred Shares involves substantial risks and is suitable only for persons of adequate
financial means who can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Preferred Shares for an indefinite period of time. PURCHASER
further represents that he or she:


 


(1)         has
adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and possible personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in his
or her investment in the Preferred Shares, is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Preferred Shares
for an indefinite period, and, at the present time, can afford a complete loss of his investment;


 




     


     


    

 


(2)         does
not have an overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable that is disproportionate to his or her net worth,
and that his or her investment in the Preferred Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive;


 


(3)         is
acquiring the Preferred Shares for his or her own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view toward resale, assignment
or distribution thereof, and no other person has a direct or indirect, beneficial interest, in whole or in part, in such Preferred
Shares;


 


(4)         has
such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of an investment in the Preferred Shares; and


 


(5)         has
been given the opportunity to ask questions of and to receive answers from persons acting on the SELLER’S behalf concerning
the terms and conditions of this transaction and also has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information which
the SELLER possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. As a result, PURCHASER has available sufficient information
concerning the affairs of the SELLER and has been able to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment in the Preferred Shares.


 


ARTICLE 4


AMENDMENT AND WAIVER


 


4.1          Waiver
and Amendment. Any term, provision, covenant, representation, warranty or condition of this Agreement may be waived, but only
by a written instrument signed by the party entitled to the benefits thereof. The failure or delay of any party at any time or
times to require performance of any provision hereof or to exercise its rights with respect to any provision hereof shall in no
manner operate as a waiver of or affect such party's right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition,
or of the breach of any term, provision, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or waiver of any other condition
