all Liens, and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights.

which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The 

  
 5 








 
Company and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its respective businesses and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection therewith. Each Transaction
Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or
by other equitable principles of general application. 
 (d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) after complying with NASDAQ Rule 5250(e)(2), conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary
debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the
Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(e) Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any United States court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filing with the Commission of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) filings required by state
securities laws, (iii) the filing of a

capital stock the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants in order to issue the Shares and the Warrant Shares. 
 (g) Capitalization. As of May 20, 2013, the number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, and all shares of Common Stock authorized for
issuance under the Company’s various option and incentive plans, are specified in Schedule 3.1(g). Except as specified in Schedule 3.1(g), no securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, and 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 Transaction Documents. Except as specified in Schedule 3.1(g), there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or
acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or
exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issue and sale of the Securities will not, immediately or with the passage of time, obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any Person (other than the
Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. With respect to securities issued under the Company’s various option and
incentive plans, the representations and warranties set forth in this Section and Schedule 3.1(g) are accurate as of May 20, 2013.

including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such reports) (the foregoing materials being collectively referred to

light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the

director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, except as
specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company (in his or
her capacity as such). The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all
foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance with all effective requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, that are applicable to it, except
where such noncompliance would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate United States federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such permits. 
 (o) Title to
Assets. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company and the Subsidiaries have valid land use rights for all real property that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by
them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for 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 the Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in
compliance, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (p) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have would, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and other than with respect to maters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in
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. 

  
 9 








 (q) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are 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 and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew
its and the Subsidiaries’ 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 on terms consistent with market for the Company’s and
such Subsidiaries’ respective lines of business. 
 (r) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set
forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees or significant shareholders of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any
Subsidiary (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, employee or such shareholder or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner. 
 (s) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for
assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation
Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in
other factors that would materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). 

  
 10 









 (t) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date
(and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its 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 for the current fiscal year 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, 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 debt 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). 

(u) Certain Fees. Except for fees payable to Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) in connection
with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other
Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by the Placement Agent or by or on behalf of any other Person other than the
Placement Agent for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless such Investor shall have entered into a written agreement with such Person regarding such fees.

 (v) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants and the offer of the Warrant Shares by the Company to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. The Company
is eligible to register its Common Stock for resale by the Investors under Form S-3 or Form S-1 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person other than the Investors pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement any rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been satisfied through an effective
registration statement or by waiver of such rights. 
 (w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as specified in
the SEC Reports and in Schedule 3.1(w), the Company has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements
thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the
Common Stock is currently listed or quoted. After complying with NASDAQ Rule 5250(e)(2), the issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction Documents does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the


  
 11 









 
Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors the Shares and Warrants
at Closing. 
 (x) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately following the
Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (y) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company has 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 similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or would become
applicable to the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the
Investors’ ownership of the Securities. 
 (z) No Additional Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with any Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction Documents. 
 (aa) Accountants. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the accountants formerly or presently employed by the

the Company. All disclosure provided to the Investors regarding the Company, the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company (including the Company’s
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and any investor presentation provided by the Company or any Person acting on the Company’s behalf) are true and correct in all material respects and do 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. 

3.2. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself and for no other Investor, represents and
warrants to the Company as follows: 
 (a) Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly
executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles
of general application. 

  
 13 









 (b) Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities for its own account
for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such
Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Securities for any period
of time. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities. 

(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date
on which it exercises Warrants it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Such Investor has such
experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Investor acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

 (d) General Solicitation. Such Investor 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. 

(e) Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded
(i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in
the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of
the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. 
 (f)
Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including,
without limitations, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company or a Placement Agent regarding an investment in the Company. Such Investor covenants that neither it
nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed. 

  
 14 









 (g) Limited Ownership. The purchase by such Investor of the Shares and Warrants
issuable to it at the Closing will not result in such Investor (individually or together with any other Person with whom such Investor has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the
Commission involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that the
Closing shall have occurred. Such Investor does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the Commission to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the
right to acquire, as a result of the Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company
on a post transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. 
 (h) Independent Investment Decision.
Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Investor confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Investor’s business and/or legal
counsel in making such decision. Such Investor has not relied on the business or legal advice of Roth Capital Partners, LLC or any other placement agent or any of their respective agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision
hereunder, and confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties to such Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 
 The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in
this Section 3.2. 
 ARTICLE 4. 
 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 
 4.1. (a) The Securities may only be disposed of
in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor 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. 
 (b) Certificates evidencing Securities (as defined in Section 4.1(c)) will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c): 

[NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED] WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES 

  
 15 









 
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. [THESE SECURITIES AND THE
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES] [THESE SECURITIES] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES. 
 The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection
with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or
consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default
by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’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 thereof including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Securities subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the
legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a). 

(c) Certificates evidencing Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in
Section 4.1(b)): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering such Shares and Warrant Shares is then effective, or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to
Rule 144 (assuming the transferee is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) after a period of six months has elapsed since the later of the date the securities were acquired from the Company of from an Affiliate of the Company, while such
Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale by 

  
 16 









 
the selling Investor without volume restrictions under Rule 144, subject to receipt from such Investor requesting removal of such legends of a representation letter, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, subject to the requirement, to the extent then required for such Shares or Warrant Shares to be resold by such Investor under Rule 144, that the adequate current public information requirement of Rule 144(c) is met at the
time of sale. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or such other time as legends are no longer required to be set forth on certificates representing Shares and Warrant Shares under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than
three Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares containing a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such investor Shares or
Warrant Shares which are free of all restrictive and other legends. If the Company is then eligible, certificates for Shares and Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer to an Investor by crediting the
prime brokerage account of such Investor with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Investor. If an Investor shall make a sale or transfer of Shares or Warrant Shares either (x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a
registration statement and in each case shall have delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent the certificate representing the applicable Shares or Warrant Shares containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale
or transfer and a representation letter in customary form (the date of such sale or transfer and Shares or Warrant Share delivery being the “Share Delivery Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive or other legends by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date and
(2) following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date and prior to the time such Shares or Warrant Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor, purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares or Warrant Shares (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to any other rights available to the Investor under
the Transaction Documents and applicable law, the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a
result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In. 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. 

4.2. Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns any Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not required to
file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further
covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. 

  
 17 









 4.3. Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure
that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market in a manner that would require shareholder approval of the sale of the securities to the Investors. 
 4.4.
Subsequent Registrations. Other than a Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, prior to the first to occur of (a) the Effective Date of a Registration Statement resulting in all Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) other than Cut Back Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) being registered for resale pursuant to one or more effective Registration Statements or (b) such time as all Registrable
Securities may be sold by the Investors without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may not file any registration statement (other than on Form S-8 or S-4) with the Commission with respect to any securities of the Company;
provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as all Registrable Securities other than Cut Back Shares are registered for resale pursuant to one or more effective Registration Statements, the Company may file a registration statement
of any type with the Commission with respect to securities of the Company notwithstanding that any Cut Back Shares have not been registered for resale pursuant to one or more effective Registration Statements.

Investor, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations.

Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all out of
pocket 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 (collectively,

indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as

as possible, and (ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other

Section 4.7 (as to each Investor Party) and that Roth Capital Partners, LLC is a third party beneficiary of the Company’s and Investors’ representations and warranties contained herein.

 6.9. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings
concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions
of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
Proceeding. 
 6.10. Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive
the Closing and the delivery of the Securities. 
 6.11. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need
not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, 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 signature page were an original thereof. 
 6.12. Severability. If any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree
upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement. 
 6.13. Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, 

  
 24 









 
whenever any Investor 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 Investor 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.

 6.14. 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, 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 and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument
as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement. 
 6.15. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate. 
 6.16. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant
to any Transaction Document or an Investor 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. 
 6.17. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and
Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors 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 Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with 

  
 25 









 
making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the
Transaction Documents. Each Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with
multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. 
 6.18. Limitation of
Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be
satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such an Investor shall be
personally liable for any liabilities of such Investor. 
 6.19. Further Assurances. Each party hereto 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 any 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.
