		6.	Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser

 

6.1             
The Purchaser acknowledges that this subscription may be accepted or rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company in
its sole discretion. The Company shall have no obligation to sell the Securities to the Purchaser unless and until this Agreement
is executed and delivered by the Purchaser and accepted by the Company and the Company has received the Purchase Price.

 

6.2Except
as provided under applicable state securities laws, this subscription is irrevocable upon acceptance by the Company, except that
the Purchaser shall have no obligation under it in the event that the subscription is rejected in whole or the offering of the
Securities is canceled.

 

6.3             
The Purchaser recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited
to, the following: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their
entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate
the Purchaser’s investment; (iii) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (iv) in the event of a disposition
of the Securities, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment, and (v) the Company has
not paid any dividends since inception and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

6.4             
The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and that the Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities. If the Purchaser is purchasing in
an individual capacity, then Purchaser certifies that either (a) the Purchaser had an individual income of more than $200,000 in
each of calendar years 2010 and 2011, or joint income with the Purchaser’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those
years, and that the Purchaser reasonably expects to reach the same income level in calendar year 2012 or (b) the Purchaser has
an individual net worth, or with the Purchaser’s spouse has a joint net worth, in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the
value of the individual’s primary residence).

 

    	4

    	 

    
  

6.5             
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and represents that the Purchaser has prior investment experience, including investment
in securities that are not listed, are unregistered and are not traded on any stock exchange or an automated quotation system.

 

6.6             
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement and the form of Warrant and hereby represents
that the Purchaser has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company
and the Securities that the Purchaser has requested or desired to know, has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of,
and to receive answers from, duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions
of the Securities and the affairs of the Company and has received any additional information which the Purchaser has requested.
In evaluating the suitability of this investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other
information (whether oral or written) other than as set forth in this Agreement.

 

6.7             
To the extent the Purchaser has deemed necessary, the Purchaser has retained, at the sole expense of the Purchaser,
and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement
and its purchase of the Securities hereunder.

 

6.8             
The Purchaser represents that no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation
or general advertising, and in connection therewith the Purchaser did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice
or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed
circuit or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited
by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

6.9             
The Purchaser hereby represents that the Purchaser either by reason of the Purchaser’s business or financial experience,
or the business or financial experience of the Purchaser’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not
compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect
the Purchaser’s interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and to adequately evaluate the risks and
merits of the investment in the Securities.

 

6.10         
The Purchaser is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Company and could afford a complete
loss of such investment. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate
to the Purchaser's net worth and the Purchaser's investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
The Purchaser has adequate net worth and means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies to sustain a complete
loss of the Purchaser's investment in the Company, and the Purchaser has no need for liquidity in this investment.

 

6.11         
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Securities have not been reviewed by the Commission or any state regulatory
authority, and that the sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 8 of the
Securities Act based in part upon the Purchaser’s representations and agreements contained in this Agreement. The Purchaser
agrees that it shall not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or unless and until the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that an exemption
from such registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that no federal or state agency has made any determination as to
the fairness of the offering of the Securities, or any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

 

    	5

    	 

    
  

6.12         
The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed
exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Purchaser’s investment intention. In
this connection, the Purchaser hereby represents that the Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for the Purchaser’s own
account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others. If other than a natural person, the Purchaser
was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.

 

6.13         
The Purchaser understands that the Securities may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration
under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the
Securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Securities must be held indefinitely. In particular,
the Purchaser is aware that the Securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all
of the conditions of such rule are met.

 

6.14         
The Purchaser acknowledges that except as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, the Company has made no representations
with respect to registration of the Securities, that no such registration is contemplated in the foreseeable future, that there
can be no assurance that there will be any market for the Securities in the future, and that, as a result, the Purchaser must be
prepared to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s entire investment for an indefinite period of time.

 

6.15         
The Purchaser consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Securities that
such Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting
forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Purchaser is aware
that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such
Securities.

 

6.16         
The Purchaser hereby represents that the address of the Purchaser furnished by Purchaser on the signature page hereof
is the Purchaser’s legal residence or principal business address, as the case may be.

 

6.17         
The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
purchase the Securities. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against
the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

 

6.18         
The Purchaser acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Securities are registered under the Securities Act, sales
of the Securities will continue to be subject to state securities laws.

 

6.19         
The Purchaser represents and warrants that the Purchaser has not engaged, consented to nor authorized any broker, finder
or intermediary to act on the Purchaser’s behalf, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or intermediary in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against
all fees, commissions or other payments owing to any such person or firm acting on behalf of the Purchaser hereunder.

6.22         
The Purchaser has completed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B, and represents
and warrants that the information contained in such documents is true and complete as of the date of this Agreement.

 

6.23         
The foregoing representations and warranties are true as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true as of the Closing.

written notice of such fact to the Company.

 

6.24         
The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company may conduct additional offerings simultaneously and may

Securities or with other terms and conditions that may not be offered to the Purchaser hereto.

Stand-off” Agreement.

 

The Purchaser agrees
that, if the Purchaser is requested by an underwriter (an “Underwriter”) of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, the Purchaser will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common
Stock, Warrants or other securities of the Company held by it or under its control for a specified period of time (not to exceed
180 days) following the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection
with such underwritten offering. Although the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Purchaser and
the Purchaser’s successors and assigns without the execution of any further agreements or documents memorializing this obligation,
if the Company or an Underwriter so requests the Purchaser will execute such further agreements and documents as are requested
to further memorialize this obligation. Any such further agreements or documents shall be in a form satisfactory to the Company
and the Underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock or other securities

(a)               
In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to file with the Commission, a registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”) registering for resale all Registrable Securities issued in the Offering. The Registration Statement
may include other equity securities of the Company as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. The Company will agree
to use best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be filed no later than the Registration Filing Deadline and to become

Securities must be named as an underwriter, the Holders understand and agree that the Company shall register in the Registration
Statement such number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission without naming such holder(s) as an underwriter
(unless such holder agrees to be named as an underwriter), provided, however, that the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis,
the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of each such Holder. In any such pro rata reduction,
the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement or any subsequent registration statement shall
be determined in the following order: (i) first, the Investor Shares to be registered shall be registered on a pro rata basis
among the holders of the Investor Shares, and (ii) second the Registrable Warrant Shares to be registered shall be registered on
a pro rata basis among the holders of the Registrable Warrant Shares.

of the Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement (the “Filing Deadline Penalty Amount”) on every
thirty (30) day anniversary of the Registration Filing Deadline until such failure is cured. The Filing Deadline Penalty Amount
payable pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall be prorated for partial thirty (30) day periods. The maximum aggregate Filing Deadline
Penalty Amount to be paid by the Company to all Holders of Registrable Securities as a result of the failure to file the Registration
Statement by the Registration Filing Deadline shall be equal to three percent (3%) of the net proceeds received by the Company
from the Offering (after deduction of placement agent commissions and expenses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts shall
be owed pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) with respect to any period during which all of the Holder’s Registrable Securities
may be sold by such Holder under Rule 144 or pursuant to another exemption from registration.  Moreover, no such payments
shall be due and payable with respect to any Registrable Securities the Company is unable to register due to limits imposed by
the Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

(c)               
Registration Effectiveness Deadline Penalty. If the Registration Statement is not declared effective on or before
the Registration Effectiveness Deadline, the Company shall issue to each Holder of Registrable Securities an amount of additional
shares of Common Stock (the “Penalty Shares”), valued at a price of $0.50 per share (subject to proportionate adjustment
for forward or reverse stock splits, stock dividends or other similar proportionately-applied changes), equal to one-half percent
(0.5%) of the Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement on every thirty (30) day anniversary of the Registration
Effectiveness Deadline until such failure is cured. The number of Penalty Shares issuable to any Holder pursuant to this Section
8.2(c) shall be prorated for partial thirty (30) day periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum aggregate
number of Penalty Shares to be issued to all Holders of Registrable Securities, in the aggregate, pursuant to this Section 8.2(c)
as a result of the failure of the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Registration Effectiveness Deadline, together
with the maximum aggregate Filing Deadline Penalty Amount, payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b) above, if applicable, shall be equal
to three percent (3%) of the net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering (after deduction of placement agent commissions
and expenses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Effectiveness Deadline Penalties shall be owed with respect to any period during
which all of the Holder’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Holder under Rule 144 or pursuant to another exemption
from registration.  Moreover, no such issuances shall be due and payable with respect to any Registrable Securities the Company
is unable to register due to limits imposed by the Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

8.3             
Piggyback Registration.   In the event the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to register with
the Commission for sale any Common Stock, for its own account or for the account of others, other than (i) a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans or securities issued or issuable to employees, consultants (to the extent the securities owned
or to be owned by such consultants could be registered on Form S-8) or any of their Family Members (including a registration on
Form S-8) or (ii) a registration relating solely to a Securities Act Rule 145 transaction or a registration on Form S-4 in connection
with a merger, acquisition, divestiture, reorganization or similar event, the Company shall promptly give to the holders of the
Registrable Securities written notice thereof (and in no event shall such notice be given less than ten (10) calendar days prior
to the filing of such registration statement), and shall, include all of the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
delivered by the Holder thereof within five (5) calendar days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. Except with
respect to the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, the Company may, without the consent of
the Holders, withdraw such registration statement prior to its becoming effective if the Company or such other stockholders have
elected to abandon the proposal to register the securities proposed to be registered thereby.

 

    	9

    	 

    
  

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such registration undertaken by the Company is in connection with an underwritten public offering, and the underwriter
in such public offering reasonably determines that inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities in such registration would be
detrimental to the successful completion of the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such determination
recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the
number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders
(based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation
with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of
the Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends
the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if Securities are being offered for the account of
other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable
Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities
(other than the Company).

 

8.4             
Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred by the Company in compliance with the registration obligation
of the Company, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Agreement and all underwriting
discounts, selling commissions and expense allowances applicable to the sale of any securities by the Company for its own account
in any registration. All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and expense allowances applicable to the sale by Purchaser
of Registrable Securities and all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Purchaser shall be borne by the Purchaser.

 

		8.5	Indemnification.

 

(a)               
To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Purchaser, each of its officers, directors, agents, employees
and partners, and each person controlling the Purchaser, with respect to each registration of Registrable Securities under the
Securities Act and qualification of Registrable Securities under state securities laws effected pursuant to this Agreement, against
all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or
other document prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities
Act (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration or qualification,
or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration or
qualification, and subject to the provisions of this section below, will reimburse the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s officers,
directors, agents, employees and partners, and each person controlling the Purchaser, for any legal and any other expenses as they
are reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out
of or is based on any failure of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s representatives to distribute Registrable Securities in
accordance with applicable laws (including failure to deliver any required preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (or the final
prospectus as amended and supplemented) at or before the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities); nor
shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises
out of or is based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly
for use in connection with such registration by the Purchaser, any such partner, officer, director, employee, agent or controlling
person of the Purchaser, or any such underwriter or any person who controls any such underwriter. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the indemnity contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

    	10

    	 

    
  

(b)              
To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify the Company, and its directors, officers, agents, employees
and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls
the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, against all
claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any failure of the Purchaser
or the Purchaser’s representatives to distribute Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable laws (including failure
to deliver any required preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended and supplemented to the
extent such amendment or supplement is timely provided to the Purchaser as required herein) as required by applicable law); or
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus,
offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, directors, officers, partners,
persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses as they are reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
by the Purchaser for specific use in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document; provided, however,
that the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to the Purchaser from Registrable
Securities sold under such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document as contemplated herein; provided,
further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(c)               
Each party entitled to indemnification under this section (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice
to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified
Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume
the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall
conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval
shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and
provided further that if counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party then the Indemnified Party may
retain one separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless
and only to the extent that such failure to give notice results in material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified
Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

    	11

    	 

    
  

(d)              
If the indemnification provided for in this section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

that the Purchaser understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in

by the Purchaser of any Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding
