 AGREEMENTS 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their respective promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchasers
hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES AND WARRANTS 
 1.1 Purchase of Shares and Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the issuance, sale and purchase of the shares of Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) and Warrants shall be consummated in a “Closing.” Each “Unit” shall consist of (a) one (1) Share, each
Share with an initial Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of $5,000 and (b) Warrants issued with respect to such Shares as hereinafter provided. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) per Unit shall
be equal to $5,000. The number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants issued as part of a Unit shall be exercisable shall equal 15% of the Purchase Price of such Unit. For purposes of example only, and not by way of limitation, for a
Purchase Price of $100,000, a Purchaser would receive twenty (20) Units, consisting of twenty (20) Shares (with a Stated Value of $5,000 per Share) and Warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise
price of the Warrants shall be the market value of the Company’s Common Stock immediately preceding the entering into by the Purchaser of this Agreement plus $.05. For purposes of this Agreement and the Warrants, market value shall be
determined in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules. 
 On the date of the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in
ARTICLES VI and VII hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser severally agrees to purchase from the Company, such number of Units set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name on the Purchaser’s
Signature Page. Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase Shares and Warrants hereunder is distinct and separate from each other Purchaser’s obligation to purchase, and no Purchaser shall be required to purchase hereunder more than the
number of Units set forth on the Purchaser’s Signature Page. The obligations of the Company with respect to each Purchaser shall be separate from the obligations of the Company to each other Purchaser and shall not be conditioned as to any
Purchaser upon the performance of obligations of any other Purchaser. Payment of the Purchase Price for the Units shall be either in cash or by the delivery to the Company of, and cancellation of all principal and accrued interest as of the date of
the Closing on, the Company’s Secured Promissory Notes issued in June 2008 (the “June 2008 Notes”), with the aggregate amount of principal and interest on such cancelled June 2008 Notes being applied against the Purchase Price
dollar for dollar. 
 1.2. Closing Fee. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has engaged Great American Investors, Inc. as the
exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the offering of the Units (the “Offering”) and, as consideration for its services, has agreed to pay to the Placement Agent at the Closing a
commission equal to the sum of (a) five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company in cash from the sale of Units in the Offering and (b) two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross proceeds received by the
Company for the sale of Units in the Offering in the form of cancelled principal and interest on the June 2008 

  

 2 








 
Notes. The fee shall be paid by issuing to the Placement Agent and/or its designees at the Closing such number of Units having a Purchase Price equal to the
aggregate amount of the fee. At or before the Closing, the Company will also reimburse the Placement Agent for expenses incurred by such Placement Agent in connection with the Offering, subject to any limitations set forth in any agreements between
the Company and the Placement Agent. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders, individually and collectively (“Placement Agent Indemnified
Person(s)”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses incurred by any Placement Agent Indemnified Person (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which are related to or
arising out of: (i) any untrue statement of any material fact made by the Company; or (ii) any omission of material fact necessary to make any statement not misleading, made by the Company. The Company will not however, be responsible for
any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses, which resulted directly or indirectly from the Placement Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 1.3 Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in ARTICLES VI and VII below, the date and time of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Shares and Warrants pursuant
to this Agreement shall be on or before 5:00 p.m. Charlotte, North Carolina time, on November 12, 2008. 
 ARTICLE II 
 PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, severally and not jointly, with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder and not with respect to any other Purchaser or the purchase
hereunder by any other Purchaser, that the following statements are true and correct: 
 2.1 Investment Purpose. Purchaser understands
that neither the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares and the Warrants for Purchaser’s own account for investment only and not with a
view toward or in connection with the public sale or distribution thereof. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares or any interest therein, except pursuant to
transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the
Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of registering any such Securities. 
 2.2 Accredited Investor Status. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

  

 3 








 2.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold
to Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire the Securities. 
 2.4 Information. The Company has made available to the Purchaser the documents publicly filed by the Company with the SEC (such documents
collectively, the “SEC Documents”). No private placement memorandum or similar document has been provided to any Purchaser in connection with the Offering. However, Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
Company, was permitted to meet with the Company’s officers and has received what the Purchaser believes to be complete and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. Except for the SEC Documents and the answers received by Purchaser as a
result of inquiries made by Purchaser to Company officers, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser is not relying upon any information, representations or warranties of any other party. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its representations shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III. Purchaser understands
that Purchaser’s investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the SEC Documents. 
 2.5 Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. 
 2.6 Transfer or Resale. Purchaser understands that
(i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption from
such registration is available (which exemption the Company expressly agrees may be established as contemplated in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.1 hereof); (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act under circumstances in which the seller may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder in order for such resale to be allowed and (iii) the Company is under no obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder. 
 2.7 Legends. Purchaser understands that until such time, if any, as the Warrant Shares may be sold by Purchaser
pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to and in 

  

 4 








 
accordance with the procedures specified in ARTICLE V hereof), the certificates for the Shares and Warrants, and, if the Warrants are exercised, the
certificates for the Warrant Shares, , will bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”), which will include language in substantially the following form: 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT
BE OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. 
 2.8 Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered on behalf of Purchaser and is a valid and binding agreement of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such validity or enforceability may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights or remedies of creditors generally, or by other equitable principles of general application. 
 2.9 Residency. Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth under Purchaser’s name on the signature page hereto executed by
Purchaser. 
 2.10 Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior To the Date Hereof. Other than the transaction 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 disposition, including short sales, in the securities of the Company during the period
commencing from the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof. Other than to other
parties 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). 
 2.11 No General Solicitation. 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. 
 2.12 Pre-existing Relationship. Purchaser has a pre-existing relationship with the Company. Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result
of or in connection with any registered public offering by the Company. 
  

 5 








 2.13 Risk Factors. Purchaser has reviewed the Risk Factors in the Company’s SEC Documents.
 
 2.14 Preemptive Rights. Purchaser acknowledges that certain investors have preemptive rights to purchase the Securities
pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated December 7, 2006, between the Company and the purchasers set forth in Schedule 1 thereto (the “2006 Preemptive Rights”). Within five
(5) days after the Closing, the Company shall offer such investors the right to acquire Securities sold pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to the 2006 Preemptive Rights. 
 2.15 Dividends and Redemption of Shares. Purchaser understands that under Delaware law, the Company may not redeem any Shares if such redemption
impairs the capital of the Company. The use of the Company funds to redeem Shares impairs the Company’s capital if such payments exceed the amount of the Company’s “surplus” as defined by Delaware law generally to mean the excess
of net assets over the par value of the Company’s stock. Dividends may be paid only out of “surplus” as defined under Delaware law, or in the case there is no surplus, out of the Company’s profits for the fiscal year in which the
dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. 
 2.16 No Assurance of Return on Investment. Purchaser realizes that the
purchase of the Securities is a highly speculative investment. Purchaser is able, without impairing Purchaser’s financial condition, to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Certificate of Designations, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of Purchaser’s investment. Prior to executing this Agreement, Purchaser has reviewed carefully a copy of this Agreement and each
schedule and exhibit hereto. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
protecting the Purchaser’s interests in connection therewith. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT PURCHASER WILL RECOVER OR REALIZE ANY RETURN ON PURCHASER’S INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OR THAT PURCHASER WILL NOT LOSE PURCHASER’S ENTIRE
INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY. PURCHASER HAS READ THE RISK FACTORS CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY’S SEC DOCUMENTS AND OTHER MATERIAL PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE BY THE COMPANY CAREFULLY
AND CONSULTED WITH HIS OWN ATTORNEY OR BUSINESS ADVISOR PRIOR TO MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION. PURCHASER CAN AFFORD THE RISK OF LOSS OF PURCHASER’S ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.

 3.5 Consents. Except as set forth in Schedule

anti-takeover, business combination or control share law or statute binding on the Company or to which the Company or any of its assets and properties may be subject and any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws
that is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the issuance of the Securities and the ownership, disposition or voting of the
Securities by the Purchasers or the exercise of any right granted to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 
 3.6 SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Since January 1, 2007, the Company has timely filed the SEC Documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of

applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances 

  

 9 








 
under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents which is required to be updated or amended under applicable
law has not been so updated or amended. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and the rules and regulations of
the SEC during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they do not include footnotes or are
condensed or summary statements) and present accurately and completely the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in a manner clearly evident to a sophisticated institutional investor in the financial statements or the notes thereto of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company
has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice subsequent to the date of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and
commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements. To the extent required by the rules of the SEC
applicable thereto, the SEC Documents contain a complete and accurate list of all material undischarged written or oral contracts, agreements, leases or other instruments to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which
any of the properties or assets of the Company is subject (each a “Contract”). None of the Company or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of the other parties thereto, is in breach or violation of any Contract, which breach or
violation would have a Material Adverse Effect. No event, occurrence or condition exists which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, could become a default by the Company which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge of the executive officers (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company, after due inquiry. 
 3.7 Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.7, since December 31, 2007, there has been no material adverse
change and no material adverse development in the business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company, not clearly evident to a sophisticated institutional investor from the SEC Documents,
including, without limitation: 
 (i) any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating results of the Company from that
reflected in the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, except for changes in the ordinary course of business which have not and could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate; 
 (ii) any declaration or payment of any dividend, or any
authorization or payment of any distribution, on any of the capital stock of the Company, or any redemption or repurchase of any securities of the Company; 
  

 10 








 (iii) any material damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance to any assets or
properties of the Company; 
 (iv) any waiver, not in the ordinary course of business, by the Company of a material right or of a material
debt owed to it; 
 (v) any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim or encumbrance or payment of any obligation by the Company, except
in the ordinary course of business and which is not material to the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or business of the Company (as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted); 
 (vi) any change or amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or material change to any material contract or arrangement by
which the Company is bound or to which any of its assets or properties is subject; 
 (vii) any material labor difficulties or labor union
organizing activities with respect to employees of the Company; 
 (viii) any material transaction entered into by the Company other than in
the ordinary course of business; 
 (ix) the loss of the services of any key employee, or material change in the composition or duties of the
senior management of the Company; 
 (x) the loss or threatened loss of any customer which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; or 
 (xi) any other event or condition of any character that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.8 Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.8 hereof or as disclosed in the
Company’s SEC Documents filed by it with the SEC, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, or self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the Company’s
Knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its directors or officers in their capacities as such which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no facts known to the Company which, if known by a
potential claimant or governmental authority, could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if asserted or conducted with results unfavorable to the Company could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 3.9 Tax Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9 attached hereto, the Company has timely prepared and filed all tax
returns required to have been filed by the Company with all appropriate governmental agencies and timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by it. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of taxes for all
fiscal periods are adequate in all material 

  

 11 








 
respects, and there are no material unpaid assessments against the Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any basis for the assessment of any
additional taxes, penalties or interest for any fiscal period or audits by any federal, state or local taxing authority except for any assessment which is not material to the Company. All taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company is
required to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper governmental entity or third party when due. There are no tax liens or claims pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened against
the Company or any of its assets or property. There are no outstanding tax sharing agreements or other such arrangements between the Company and any other corporation or entity. 
 3.10 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the
Company’s Knowledge, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company (other than as holders of stock options and/or warrants, and for services as employees, officers, consultants 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 Company’s Knowledge, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner. 
 3.11 Internal Controls. The Company maintains 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 generally accepted

currently proposed to be conducted. 
 (vi) The Company has taken reasonable steps to protect the Company’s rights in its Intellectual
Property. Each employee, consultant and contractor who has had access to confidential information which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has executed an agreement

 4.10 Additional Warrants. 
 4.10.1 If all of the Shares are not redeemed prior to the date which is

holder or such holder’s transferor, warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants issued at the Closing. 

4.10.2 If all of the Shares are redeemed after the First Deadline but prior to the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Second
Deadline”), then within ten days after all of the Shares have been redeemed, the Company shall issue to the holders of the Shares, on a pro rata basis, based on the original number of Shares issued to such holder or such holder’s
transferor, warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants issued at the Closing multiplied by (B) a

 The warrants issuable pursuant to this Section 4.10 are hereinafter collectively referred to as the

 4.11 June 2008 Warrants. The Company and each Purchaser who owns June 2008 Warrants acknowledge and agree that pursuant to Section 4(d)
of the June 2008 Warrants if the exercise price of the Warrants at Closing is less than the exercise price of the June 2008 Warrants, the exercise price of the June 2008 Warrants shall be reduced to the exercise price of the Warrants and that under
no circumstances shall any further adjustment to the exercise price of the June 2008 Warrants be made pursuant to Section 4(d) thereof. The Company and each Purchaser who owns June 2008 Warrants further acknowledge and agree that from and after

Shares. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, GAAP or applicable SEC rules and regulations, the directors of the Company shall not take any action to increase the capital of the Company to an amount in excess of the aggregate par value of
the capital stock issued by the Company. In no event shall the payment of dividends on the Shares be the cause of, or result in, the (i) insolvency of the Company (as defined under applicable law), (ii) impairment of the capital of the
Company (as defined under applicable law) or (iii) impairment of the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they become due or continue its operations. Accordingly, the payment by the Company of dividends on the Shares shall be
accomplished on such terms and conditions as the directors of the Company in good faith determine to be feasible and so as not to result in any of the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence. 
 ARTICLE V 
 LEGEND
REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES 
 5.1 Removal of Legend. The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue
a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act,
(b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which
shall be borne by the Company if, after six months, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a 

  

 22 








 
public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration
requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so sold without restriction. The Company may not make any notation on its records or
give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been
removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend
and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any
disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act. Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration
statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the
Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been
rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above. 
 5.2 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 5.1, it will, no
later than ten (10) days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Warrant Shares. The
Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities
in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. If (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after six months, neither an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers
Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 

  

 23 








 
Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by the Purchasers hereunder or
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 If to any Purchaser, to such address set forth under such Purchaser’s name on the Purchaser’s Signature
Page executed by such Purchaser. Each party shall provide notice to the other parties of any change in address in the meaning set forth in this Section 8.7. 
 8.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall assign this Agreement or
any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the
Securities Act, without the consent of the Company so long as such affiliate is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement. This provision shall not
limit each Purchaser’s right to transfer the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to assign such Purchaser’s rights hereunder to any such transferee. In that regard, if a Purchaser sells all or part of its Securities to
someone that acquires the 

  

 28 








 
Securities subject to restrictions on transferability (other than restrictions, if any, arising out of the transferee’s status as an affiliate of the
Company), Purchaser shall be permitted to assign its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to such transferee. 
 8.9 Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 
 8.10 Survival; Indemnification. The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants shall survive the closing
hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and
affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its
representations or covenants set forth herein, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred. The representations and warranties of the Purchasers shall survive the Closing hereunder and each Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each of its officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and affiliates from and against any and all Losses arising as a result of or related to any breach of such Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained herein.

 8.11 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and
shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement shall use its best efforts to cause the Company to comply with all Nasdaq rules applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable, to the fullest extent
possible, consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the requirement of obtaining stockholder approval thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party agrees to amend the terms of this Agreement, the Certificate of
Designations and the Warrants if such amendment is required to comply with applicable Nasdaq rules in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the requirement of obtaining stockholder approval thereof. 

8.12 Remedies. No provision of this Agreement providing for any remedy to a Purchaser shall limit any remedy which would otherwise be available
to such Purchaser at law or in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights a Purchaser may have under any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the
event of a breach or 

  

 29 








 
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate compliance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 
 8.13 Final Agreement. This Agreement, when executed by the parties hereto, shall constitute the final agreement between the parties and upon such
execution Purchasers and the Company accept the terms hereof and have no cause of action against each other for prior negotiations preceding the execution of this Agreement. 
 8.14. Arm’s Length Negotiations; Counsel for the Company. Each Purchaser expressly represents and warrants to the Company that
(a) before executing this Agreement, said Purchaser has fully informed himself of the terms, contents, conditions and effects of this Agreement; (b) said Purchaser has relied solely and completely upon his own judgment in executing this
Agreement; (c) said Purchaser has had the opportunity to seek the advice of his own counsel and advisors before executing this Agreement; (d) said Purchaser has acted voluntarily and of his own free will in executing this Agreement;

acknowledges that the law firm of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A. has been retained by the Company to prepare this Agreement as legal counsel for the Company, that Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A. does
