Section 2.01          Advances and Initial Purchase; Mechanics. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII hereof), the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock on the following terms:


 



	 	
(a)

	
Advance Notice.  At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, and in accordance with the following provisions:







 



		(i)	
The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the Advance amount it desires to request in each Advance Notice and the time it desires to deliver each Advance Notice, which amount shall not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, provided, however, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the total Advance amount that the Company will receive in connection with each Advance Notice may be less than the Advance amount requested in the Advance Notice due to reductions to the Advance amount in accordance with Section 2.01(c) and 2.01(d).







 



		(ii)	
There shall be no mandatory minimum Advances and no non-usages fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount or any part thereof.







 



		(b)	
Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. Advance Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A. An Advance Notice shall be deemed delivered on (i) the day it is received by the Investor if such notice is received prior to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A or (ii) the immediately succeeding day if it is received after 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, in each case in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A.







 



		(c)	
Minimum Acceptable Price.







 



		(i)	
With respect to each Advance Notice, each Trading Day during a Pricing Period for which (A) the VWAP of the Common Stock is below the Minimum Acceptable Price in effect with respect to such Advance Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP (each such day, an “Excluded Day”), shall result in an automatic reduction to the amount of the Advance set forth in such Advance Notice by 20% (the resulting amount of each Advance being the “Adjusted Advance Amount”), and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price.







 



- 5 -











		(ii)	
The total amount of each Advance (after reductions have been made to arrive at the Adjusted Advance Amount) shall be automatically increased by an amount (the “Additional Amount”) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Investor on each Excluded Day, if any, and (B) a price per share equal to the Minimum Acceptable Price in effect with respect to such Advance Notice (without any further discount), provided that this increase shall not cause the total Advance amount to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.01(d).







 



		(d)	
Advance Limitations. Regardless of the Advance amount requested by the Company in the Advance Notice and the adjustments contemplated by Section 2.01(c), the Adjusted Advance Amount shall be reduced in accordance with each of the following limitations:







 



		(i)	
Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. In no event shall the number of Shares issuable to the Investor pursuant hereunder cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Investor and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”).  In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of an Adjusted Advance Amount that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate amount of Advances (that is, the aggregate amount of prior Advances made to the Company plus such Adjusted Advance Amount) to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the Adjusted Advance Amount by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion. The Investor shall notify the Company promptly of any reduction of the Adjusted Advance Amount due to the Ownership Limitation, but failure to provide such notice shall have no effect on the operation or implementation of the other provisions of this Section 2.01(d)(i).







 



		(ii)	
Registration Limitation. In no event shall the aggregate number of Shares subject to an Advance Notice (as such number of Shares may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and Section 2.01(d)(i)) cause the number of Shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the number of shares of Common Stock registered for resale by the Investor under the Registration Statement(s) then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”).  In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Adjusted Advance Amount (after giving effect to any reduction in accordance with Section 2.01(d)(i)) that would exceed the Registration Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the Adjusted Advance Notice by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice.







 



- 6 -











		(e)	
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that (i) upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and subject to applicable law and (ii) subject to Section 3.08, the Investor may sell shares of Common Stock of the Company during the Pricing Period.







 


Section 2.02          Closings. Each Closing shall take place as soon as practicable after each Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:


 



		(a)	
On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the Advance (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall equal the sum of (i) the Adjusted Advance Amount divided by the Purchase Price, rounded to the nearest whole number of Shares, plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Investor on Excluded Days during such Pricing Period (as contemplated by Section 2.01(c)(ii)).







 



		(b)	
Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than two Trading Days after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto (which in all cases the resale of such Shares shall be covered by an effective Registration Statement), and transmit notification to the Investor that such Share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate amount of the Advance (as set forth in the Closing Statement) in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. Any certificates evidencing Common Stock delivered pursuant hereto (other than any the Initial Shares and the Commitment Fee Shares) shall be free of restrictive legends. To facilitate the transfer of the shares of Common Stock (other than the Initial Shares and the Commitment Fee Shares) by the Investor, such shares of Common Stock will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering such Common Stock. Upon the request of the Investor at any time at which there is an effective Registration Statement covering the Commitment Fee Shares and subject to applicable law, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Investor in exchanging the original stock certificate evidencing the Initial Shares and the Commitment Fee Shares for a certificate free of restrictive legends.







 



- 7 -











		(c)	
On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to the Securities Act and rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

It is accordingly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to the Securities Act and other rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.


 


Section 2.05          Initial Purchase and Sale of Common Stock.  On the date hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company 869,565 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”).  The aggregate purchase price for the Initial Shares to be purchased by the Investor shall be $1,000,000 (the “Initial Purchase Price”).  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Initial Shares (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place on the date hereof.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law.


 


Section 5.02          Indemnification by the Investor. In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Investor will only be liable for written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor; (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor; or (d) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Company Indemnitee not arising out of any action or inaction of any of the Company Indemnitees and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any of the Company Indemnitees.

- 16 -










Section 5.03          Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Article V except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due.


 



- 17 -










Section 5.04          Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified person at law or in equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of three years.


 


Section 5.05          Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to recover from the other party for punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


 


The Selling Stockholder and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, which we refer to as the resale shares, either on the OTCQB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the common stock is then traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the resale shares:








		·	
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker‐dealer solicits purchasers;













		·	
block trades in which a broker‐dealer attempts to sell resale shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;













		·	
purchases by a broker‐dealer as principal, for resale by the broker‐dealer for its account;













		·	
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;













		·	
privately negotiated transactions;













		·	
sale of a specified number of resale shares at a stipulated price per share, as a broker‐dealer may agree upon with the Selling Stockholder from time to time;













		·	
writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;













		·	
a combination of any such methods of sale; or













		·	
any other method permitted by applicable law.












The Selling Stockholder may sell resale shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus.







Broker‐dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers‐dealers to participate in sales. Broker‐dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker‐dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of resale shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.


 











The Selling Stockholder is, and any broker-dealer or agent that is involved in selling resale shares may be deemed to be, an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such a broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the resale shares purchased by the broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. There is no underwriter (other than the Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealer or agent deemed to be an underwriter as described above) or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute resale shares. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups that, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%) of gross proceeds from a sale of resale shares.







Because the Selling Stockholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it is subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.







We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the resale shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any time, volume or manner limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the resale shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.







Expenses, Indemnification







We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of resale shares by the Selling Stockholder and will bear all expenses related to the registration of this offering, but will not pay for any commissions, fees or discounts, if any, relating to the sale of resale shares by the Selling Stockholder. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.







Supplements







In the event of a material change in the plan of distribution disclosed in this prospectus, the Selling Stockholder will not be able to effect transactions in the resale shares pursuant to this prospectus until such time as a post-effective amendment to the registration statement is filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC.







Regulation M







We have informed the Selling Stockholder that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to any purchase or sale of our common stock. In general, Rule 102 under Regulation M prohibits any person connected with a distribution of our common stock from directly or indirectly bidding for, or purchasing for any account in which it has a beneficial interest, any of the resale shares or any right to purchase the resale shares, for a period of one trading day before and after completion of its participation in the distribution.


 











During any distribution period, Regulation M prohibits the Selling Stockholder and any other persons engaged in the distribution from engaging in any stabilizing bid or purchasing our common stock except for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the open market price of the common stock. None of these persons may affect any stabilizing transaction to facilitate any offering at the market.







We have also advised the Selling Stockholder that it should be aware that the anti‐manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of common stock by the Selling Stockholder, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the resale shares. Under Regulation M, the Selling Stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while the Selling Stockholder is distributing resale shares. Regulation M may prohibit the Selling Stockholder from covering short sales by purchasing resale shares while the distribution is taking place, despite any contractual rights to do so under our agreement with the Selling Stockholder. We have advised the Selling Stockholder that it should consult with its own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.
