NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and each
Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES AND
WARRANTS.

 

(a) Purchase of Notes and Warrants.
Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth
in Sections 6 and 7 below, the Company shall issue and sell to each
Buyer, and each Buyer severally, but not jointly, agrees to
purchase from the Company on the Closing Date (as defined below),
(x) a principal amount of Notes as is set forth opposite such
Buyer's name in column (3) on the Schedule of Buyers and (y)
Warrants to acquire up to that number of Warrant Shares as is set
forth opposite such Buyer's name in column (4) on the Schedule of
Buyers (the "Closing").

 

(b) Closing. The date and time of
the Closing (the "Closing
Date") shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date
hereof (or such other date and time as is mutually agreed to by the
Company and each Buyer) after notification of satisfaction (or
waiver) of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6
and 7 below, at the offices of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, 919
Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

 

(c) Purchase Price. The aggregate
purchase price for the Notes and the Warrants to be purchased by

Buyers. Each Buyer shall pay $909.09 for each $1,000 of principal
amount of Notes and related Warrants to be purchased by such Buyer
at the Closing. The Buyers and the Company agree that the Notes and
the Warrants constitute an "investment unit" for purposes of
Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). The Buyers and
the Company mutually agree that the allocation of the issue price
of such investment unit between the Notes and the Warrants in
accordance with Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1273-2(h) shall be an aggregate amount of
$75.06164 per $909.09 of Purchase Price to be allocated to the
Warrants and the balance of the Purchase Price allocated to the
Notes, and neither the Buyers nor the Company shall take any
position inconsistent with such allocation in any tax return or in
any judicial or administrative proceeding in respect of
taxes.

 

(d) Form of Payment. On the Closing
Date, (i) each Buyer shall pay its Purchase Price to the Company
for the Notes and the Warrants to be issued and sold to such Buyer
at the Closing (less, in the case of Empery Asset Master Ltd.
("Empery"), the amounts
withheld pursuant to Section 4(g)), by wire transfer of immediately
available funds in accordance with the Company's written wire
instructions and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each Buyer
the Notes (allocated in the principal amounts as such Buyer shall
request) which such Buyer is then purchasing hereunder along with
the Warrants (allocated in the amounts as such Buyer shall request)
which such Buyer is purchasing hereunder, in each case duly
executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of
such Buyer or its designee.

2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. Each Buyer, severally and not jointly,
represents and warrants with respect to only itself that, as of the
date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

 

(a) No Public Sale or Distribution.
Such Buyer is (i) acquiring the Notes and the Warrants and (ii)
upon exercise of the Warrants (other than pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise (as defined in the Warrants)) will acquire the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, for its own account
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of
the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance
with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under
the 1933 Act. Such Buyer is acquiring the Securities hereunder in
the ordinary course of its business. Such Buyer does not presently
have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with
any Person (as defined below) to distribute any of the Securities.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Person" means an individual, a limited
liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a
trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any
government or any department or agency thereof.

 

(b) Accredited Investor Status.
Such Buyer is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

 

(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Such
Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to
it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of,
and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the
Securities.

 

(d) Information. Such Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that
have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if
any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence
investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or
its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's
right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties
contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the
Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought
such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
its acquisition of the Securities.

 

(e) No Governmental Review. Such
Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or
any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made
any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness
or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of
the Securities.

(f) Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer
understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being
registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may
not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold,
assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer
provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities
can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule
144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a successor
rule thereto) (collectively, "Rule
144"); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144
and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the
Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person)
through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter
(as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance
with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company
nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the
Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to
comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in
connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or
financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of
Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment
of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of
Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice
thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in
Section 3(b)), including, without limitation, this Section
2(f).

 

(g) Legends. Such Buyer understands
that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes
and the Warrants and, until such time as the resale of the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have been registered under
the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement,
the stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of such stock
certificates):

 

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO
WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN]
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A)
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SELECTED BY THE HOLDER, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue
a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities
upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic
delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), if (i) such
Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in
connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or
transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under
the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, or (iii) the
Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule
144 or Rule 144A. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of
its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the
Transfer Agent promptly if required by the Transfer Agent, and/or
to any Buyer if requested by such Buyer, to effect the removal of
the legend hereunder.

 

(h) Validity; Enforcement. This
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer
and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their
respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement
of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

(i) No Conflicts. The execution,
delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a
violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer or (ii)
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which 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 of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
such Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and
state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case
of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults,
rights or violations which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations
hereunder.

 

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE
COMPANY.

 

The
Company makes the following representations and warranties to each
of the Buyers, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date,
subject to the disclosures of the Company set forth in the

(a) Organization and Qualification.
Each of the Company and each of its "Subsidiaries" (which for purposes of
this Agreement means any entity in which the Company, directly or
indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity or
similar interest) are entities duly organized and validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to
own their properties and to carry on their business as now being
conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign
entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the
extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
As used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any
material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets,
liabilities, operations, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, or on the
transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Transaction
Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into
in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability
of the Company to perform any of its obligations under any of the
Transaction Documents (as defined below). The Company has no
Subsidiaries except as set forth on Schedule 3(a).

 

(b) Authorization; Enforcement;
Validity. The Company has the requisite power and authority
to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
Notes, the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined in Section
5(b)) and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties
hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") and to issue the
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without
limitation, the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants, and the
reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares
and the reservation for issuance and issuance of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized by
the Company's Board of Directors and (other than the filing with
the SEC of one or more Registration Statements (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the requirements
of the Registration Rights Agreement, the filing of a Form D with
the SEC and other filings as may be required by state securities
agencies) no further filing, consent, or authorization is required
by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly
executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally,
the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and
remedies.

(c) Issuance of Securities. The
issuance of the Notes and the Warrants are duly authorized and,
upon issuance, shall be validly issued and free from all preemptive
or similar rights, taxes, liens, charges and other encumbrances
with respect to the issue thereof. As of the Closing, a number of
shares of Common Stock shall have been duly authorized and reserved
for issuance which equals or exceeds (the "Required Reserved Amount") the sum of
(i) 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issued and
issuable pursuant to the Notes based on the Conversion Price (as
defined in the Notes) (without taking into account any limitations
on the issuance thereof pursuant to the terms of the Notes) and
(ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable
pursuant to the Warrants, each as of the Trading Day (as defined in
the Warrants) immediately preceding the applicable date of
determination (without taking into account any limitations on the
exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants). As of the date
hereof, there are 699,882,002 shares of Common Stock authorized and
unissued. Upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the Notes
or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the Warrants, as the
case may be, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares,
respectively, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens,
charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof,
with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder
of Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of each of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this
Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities
is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

 

(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 hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the
issuance of the Notes and the Warrants and reservation for issuance
and issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) will
not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation
(as defined in Section (3(r)) or Bylaws (as defined in Section
(3(r)), any memorandum of association, certificate of
incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, any certificate of
designations or other constituent documents of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or the articles of association or bylaws of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of
time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give
to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result
in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including other foreign, federal and state securities laws
and regulations and the rules and regulations of the OTC QB (the
"Principal Market") and
including all applicable laws of the State of Delaware and any
foreign, federal and state laws, rules and regulations) applicable
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property
or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or
affected.

 

(e) Consents. The Company is not
required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make
any filing or registration with (other than the filing with the SEC
of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the
requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, a Form D with
the SEC and other filings as may be required by state securities
agencies), any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or
self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents,
authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company
is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been
obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the
case of the filings detailed above, will be made timely after the
Closing Date), and the Company is unaware of any facts or
circumstances that might prevent the Company from obtaining or
effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant
to the preceding sentence. The Company is not in violation of the
listing requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge
of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to
delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable
future. The issuance by the Company of the Securities shall not
have the effect of delisting or suspending the Common Stock from
the Principal Market.

(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's
Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length
purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that no Buyer is
(i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) an "affiliate" of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of
the Company, a "beneficial owner" of more than 10% of the shares of
Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")). The Company further
acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any
similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given
by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection
with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's purchase of
the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that
the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has
been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and
its representatives.

 

(g) No General Solicitation; Placement
Agent's Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their
behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with
the offer or sale of the Securities. The Company shall be
responsible for the payment of any placement agent's fees,
financial advisory fees, or brokers' commissions (other than for
persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to
or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including,
without limitation, any placement agent fees payable to Oppenheimer
& Co. Inc., as placement agent (the "Placement Agent") in connection with the
sale of the Securities. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer
harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses)
arising in connection with any such claim. The Company acknowledges
that it has engaged the Placement Agent in connection with the sale
of the Securities. Other than the Placement Agent, neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent
or other agent in connection with the sale of the
Securities.

 

(h) No Integrated Offering. None of
the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, nor any
Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would require registration of
the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether
through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause
this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders
of the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable
stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated
quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are
listed or designated for quotation. None of the Company, its
Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their
behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding
sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any of
the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of
the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes
of any such applicable stockholder approval
provisions.

 

 

8

 

 

(i) Dilutive Effect. The Company
understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares
issuable pursuant to terms of the Notes will increase in certain
circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation
to issue Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of the Notes in
accordance with this Agreement and the Notes is absolute and
unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the
Company.

 

(j) Application of Takeover Protections;
Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors
have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested shareholder,
business combination, poison pill (including, without limitation,
any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation which is or could become applicable
to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of
the Securities and any Buyer's ownership of the Securities. The
Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar
arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of
Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

 

(k) SEC Documents; Financial
Statements. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(k), during the two
(2) years prior to the date hereof, the Company has timely filed
all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to
the date hereof or prior to the Closing Date, and all exhibits
included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being
hereinafter referred to as the "SEC
Documents"). All of the SEC Documents are available on the
EDGAR system. As of their respective filing dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of
the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of
their respective filing dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.
Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
during the periods involved ("GAAP") (except (i) as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or
(ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent
they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary
statements) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be
material either individually or in the aggregate). No other
information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any of the
Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents, including,
without limitation, information referred to in Section 2(d) of this
Agreement or in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or
were made, not misleading.

(l) Absence of Certain Changes.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(l), since December
31, 2016, there has been no material adverse change and no material
adverse development in the business, assets, liabilities,
properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), results
of operations or prospects of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(l), since December
31, 2016, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i)
declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually
or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000 outside of the ordinary
course of business or (iii) had capital expenditures, individually
or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection
pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up nor does
the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to
believe that any of its respective creditors intend to initiate
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any
fact that would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company

is less than the amount required to pay such Person's total
Indebtedness (as defined in Section 3(s)), (ii) such Person is
unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and
matured, (iii) such Person intends to incur or believes that it

statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance
and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been
publicly announced.

ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its

foregoing, except for possible violations which could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules,
regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead
to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal
Market in the foreseeable future. Except as set forth in
Schedule 3(n),

communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal
Market regarding the suspension or delisting of the Common Stock
from the Principal Market. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess
all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities
necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the
failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits
would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, authorization or
permit.

(i) except as disclosed in Schedule 3(s)(i), has any
outstanding Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) except as
disclosed in Schedule
3(s)(ii), is a party to any contract, agreement or
instrument, the violation of which, or default under which, by the
other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(iii) except as disclosed in Schedule 3(s)(iii), is in
violation of any term of or in default under any contract,
agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where
such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in
the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) except as
disclosed in Schedule
3(s)(iv), is a party to any contract, agreement or
instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which,
in the judgment of the Company's officers, has or is expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3(s) provides a
detailed description of the material terms of any such outstanding
Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) "Indebtedness" of any Person means,
without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B)
all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred
purchase price of property or services, including, without
limitation, "capital leases" in accordance with GAAP (other than
trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment
obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and
other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes,
bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so
evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property,
assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under
any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or
incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property
or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even
though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such
agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or
sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any
leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP,
consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified
as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A)
through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such
Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be
secured by) any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, pledge, charge,
security interest or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever in
or upon any property or assets (including accounts and contract
rights) with respect to any asset or property owned by any Person,
even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not
assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and
(H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or
obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A)
through (G) above; and (y) "Contingent Obligation" means, as to any
Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise,
of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease, dividend or
other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent
of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect
thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability
that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any
agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the
holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part)
against loss with respect thereto.

 

 

13

 

 

(t) Absence of Litigation. There is
no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by
the Principal Market, any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company's
Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' officers
or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise,
in their capacities as such, except as set forth in Schedule 3(t). The matters set
forth in Schedule
3(t) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(u) Insurance. The Company and each
of its Subsidiaries are insured against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or
applied for. The Company believes that it either will be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business, in each case, at a cost that
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(v) Employee
Relations.

 

(i)           Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any
collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union.
The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with
their respective employees are good. No executive officer of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of
the 1933 Act) has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that
such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or
otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company or
any such Subsidiary. No executive officer of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition
agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to
any of the foregoing matters.

 

(ii)           The
Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal,
state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure
to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(w) Title. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all
real property and good and marketable title to all personal
property owned by them which is material to the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially
affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by
them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

(x) Intellectual Property Rights.
The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or
licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service
mark registrations, service names, original works of authorship,
patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses,
approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other
intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations
therefor ("Intellectual Property
Rights") necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of
patents owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is listed
on Schedule
3(x)(i). Except as set forth in Schedule 3(x)(ii), none of the
Company's or its Subsidiaries' Intellectual Property Rights have
expired or terminated or have been abandoned or are expected to
expire or terminate or are expected to be abandoned, within three
years from the date of this Agreement. The Company does not have
any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its
Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no
claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the
knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being
threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
regarding its Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts or circumstances
which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or
claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property
Rights.

 

(y) Environmental Laws. The Company
and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all
Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all
permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under
applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective
businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and
conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each
of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so
comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term "Environmental Laws" means all federal,
state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of
human health or the environment (including, without limitation,
ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface
strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions,
discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals,
pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or
wastes (collectively, "Hazardous
Materials") into
the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all
authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters,
injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters,
orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated
or approved thereunder.

 

(z) Subsidiary Rights. The Company
or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and
(subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive
dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its
Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such
Subsidiary.

(aa) Investment
Company Status. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is,
and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities, and for so
long any Buyer holds any Securities, will be, an "investment
company," a company controlled by an "investment company" or an
"affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter"
for, an "investment company" as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(bb) Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has
made or filed all U.S. federal, state and foreign income and all
other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any
jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and
other governmental assessments and charges that are material in
amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii)
has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the
payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which
such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing
authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know
of no basis for any such claim.

 

(cc) Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of
its 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
generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and
liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of
liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management's
general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the
existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term
is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act) that are effective in
ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company
in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including its principal
executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer
or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. During the twelve months prior to the date
hereof neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any
material weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting
controls of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(dd) Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction,
arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and an
unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required
to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not
so disclosed or that otherwise would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

(ee) Ranking
of Notes. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(ee), no Indebtedness
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is senior to or ranks
pari passu with the Notes
in right of payment, whether with respect of payment of
redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution
or otherwise.

paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such
taxes will be or will have been complied with.

 

(hh) Manipulation
of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one
acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any

and agrees that (i) none of the Buyers has been asked to agree, nor
has any Buyer agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long
and/or short, securities of the Company, or "derivative" securities
based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities
for any specified term; (ii) any Buyer, and counter-parties in
"derivative" transactions to which any such Buyer is a party,
directly or indirectly, presently may have a "short" position in
the Common Stock, and (iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have
any affiliation with or control over any arm's length counter-party
in any "derivative" transaction. The Company further understands
and acknowledges that one or more Buyers may engage in hedging
and/or trading activities at various times during the period that
the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation,
during the periods that the value of the Conversion Shares and/or
the Warrant Shares are being determined and (b) such hedging and/or
trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing
stockholders' equity interest in the Company both at and after the
time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The
Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or
trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement,
the Notes, the Warrants or any of the documents executed in
connection herewith.

 

(jj) U.S.
Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not, has
never been, and so long as any Securities remain outstanding, shall

Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Buyers or their
agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could
reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic
information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Company
understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the
foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the
Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement,

is true and correct and does 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 the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All of
the written information furnished after the date hereof by or on
behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to you pursuant to
or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, taken as a whole, will be true and correct in all
material respects as of the date on which such information is so
provided and will 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 the light of the circumstances
under which they are made, not misleading. Each press release
issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve
(12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the
time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No
event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with
respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their
business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including
results thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public
disclosure by the Company at or before the date hereof or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no
Buyer makes or has made any representations or warranties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those

granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock
option plan of the Company and (ii) with an exercise price at least
equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such
stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable

506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the 1933 Act (a "Disqualification Event"), except for a

Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any
Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The
Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure
obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Buyers a
copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

 

 

20

 

 

(uu) Other
Covered Persons. The Company is not aware of any Person

4. COVENANTS.

 

(a) Best Efforts. Each party shall
use its best efforts timely to satisfy each of the covenants and
the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 6 and
7 of this Agreement.

 

(b) Form D and Blue Sky. If
required by applicable Law, the Company agrees to file a Form D
with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D. The
Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as
the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to
obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to
the Buyers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under
applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the
United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification),
and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the
Buyers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all
filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities required under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws
of the states of the United States following the Closing
Date.

 

(c) Reporting Status. Until the
date on which the Buyers shall have sold all of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares and none of the Notes
or Warrants are
outstanding (the "Reporting
Period"), the Company shall timely file all reports required
to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company
shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file
reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit
such termination, and the
Company shall take all actions necessary to maintain its
eligibility to register the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
for resale by the Investors on Form S-3.

 

(d) Use of Proceeds. The Company
will use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities solely as set
forth on Schedule
4(d).

 

(e) [Intentionally
Omitted]

 

 

21

 

 

(f) Listing. The Company shall
promptly secure the listing of all the Registrable Securities, upon
each national securities exchange and automated quotation system,
if any, upon which the Common Stock then listed (subject to
official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all
Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms
of the Transaction Documents. Until the earlier of three (3) years
from the date hereof or when Securities are no longer held by any
Buyers or registered in the names of any Buyer on the books and
records of the Company, (i) the Company shall maintain the
authorization for quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal
Market or any other Eligible Market (as defined in the Warrants)
and (ii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
avoid the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the
Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section
4(f).

 

(g) Fees. The Company shall
reimburse Empery (a Buyer) or its designee(s) (in addition to any
other expense amounts paid to any Buyer or its counsel prior to the
date of this Agreement) for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents (including all legal fees and disbursements in connection
therewith, documentation and implementation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and due diligence in
connection therewith), which amount may be withheld by such Buyer
from its purchase price for any Notes purchased at the Closing to
the extent not previously reimbursed by the Company and which shall
not exceed $60,000 without the prior approval of the Company. The
Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement
agent's fees, financial advisory fees, or broker's commissions
(other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer) relating to or
arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including,
without limitation, any fees or commissions payable to the
Placement Agent. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer
harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and out-of-pocket
expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such
payment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction
Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses
in connection with the sale of the Securities to the
Buyers.

 

(h) Pledge of Securities. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged
by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or
other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the
Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a
transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no
Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to
provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any
delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, including, without limitation, Section 2(f)
hereof; provided
that an Investor and its pledgee shall be required to comply with
the provisions of Section 2(f) hereof in order to effect a sale,
transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. The Company
hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a
pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with
a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by an
Investor.

 

(i) Disclosure of Transactions and Other
Material Information. On or before 9:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the first Business Day after this Agreement has been
executed, the Company shall issue a press release reasonably
acceptable to the Buyers and file a Current Report on Form 8-K
describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and
attaching the material Transaction Documents (including, without
limitation, this Agreement (and all schedules and exhibits to this
Agreement), the form of the Registration Rights Agreement, the form
of the Warrants and the form of Notes as exhibits to such filing
(including all attachments), the "8-K Filing"). From and after the filing
of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, no Buyer shall be in possession of
any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, affiliates or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K
Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing,
the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all
confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether
written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates
or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their
affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect. The
Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its
and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
affiliates and agents, not to, provide any Buyer with any material,
nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof and for so long as any Buyer beneficially owns any
Notes or Warrants without the express prior written consent
of such Buyer. If
such Buyer has, or believes it has, received any such material,
nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or
agents at a time when any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or
Warrants, it may provide the Company with written notice thereof.
The Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such
notice, make public disclosure of such material, nonpublic
information. To the
extent that the Company delivers any material, nonpublic
information to a Buyer without such Buyer's consent at a time when
any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company
hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty
of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or
agent with respect to, or a duty to the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, affiliates or agent not to trade on the basis of, such
material, nonpublic information. Subject to the foregoing, neither
the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press
releases or any other public statements with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the
Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer,
to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect
to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K
Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by
applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause
(i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with
any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its
release). Except for the Registration Statement required to be
filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, without the
prior written consent of any applicable Buyer, neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall disclose the name
of such Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise. As
used herein, "Business Day"
means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which
commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required
by law to remain closed.

 

 

22

 

 

(j) Additional
Notes; Variable Securities. So long as any Buyer beneficially
owns any Notes, the Company will not issue any Notes other than to
the Buyers as contemplated hereby and the Company shall not issue
any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the
Notes. For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company
shall not, in any manner, (i) issue or sell any rights, warrants or
options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or directly or
indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market
price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s)
to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise
price of any such security cannot be less than the then applicable
Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) with respect to the
Common Stock into which any Note is convertible or the then
applicable Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants) with respect
to the Common Stock into which any Warrant is exercisable or (ii)
enter into any agreement, or issue any securities pursuant to any
agreement, including, without limitation, an equity line of credit,
at-the-market offering or similar agreement, whereby the Company
may issue securities at a future determined
price.

 

(k) Corporate Existence. So long as
any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company
shall (i) maintain its corporate existence and (ii) not be party to
any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) unless the
Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing
Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes and the
Warrants.

 

(l) Reservation of
Shares. So long as any Buyer
owns any Securities, the Company shall take all action necessary to
at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance, no less than the Required Reserve Amount. If at any time
the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved
for issuance is not sufficient to meet
the Required Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all
corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient
number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special
meeting of stockholders to
authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under
Section 3(c), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number
of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor
of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure
that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the
Required Reserved Amount.

 

(m) Conduct of Business. The
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted
in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental entity, except where such violations would not result,
either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(n) Public Information. At any time
during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of
the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the
Securities, if a registration statement is not available for the
resale of all of the Securities, may be sold without restriction or
limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be
in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if the Company shall (i) fail
for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1),
including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current
public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the
Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or
becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to
satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a "Public Information Failure") then, as
partial relief for the damages to any holder of Securities by
reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the
Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other
remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to
each such holder an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of
the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder's Securities on the day
of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro
rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until
the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is
cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no
longer prevents a holder of Securities from selling such Securities
pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations. The
payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this
Section 4(n) are referred to herein as "Public Information Failure Payments."
Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the
earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such
Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the
third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the
Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event
the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such
Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at
the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid
in full.

(o) Additional Issuances of
Securities.

 

(i) For purposes of
this Section 4(o), the following definitions shall
apply.

 

(1) "Convertible Securities" means any stock
or securities (other than Options) convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.

 

(2) "Options" means any rights, warrants or
options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible

(3) "Common Stock Equivalents" means,
collectively, Options and Convertible Securities.

 

(4) "Subsequent Placement" means any direct
or indirect, offer, sale, grant any option to purchase, or other
disposition of any of its or its Subsidiaries' equity or equity
equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt,
preferred stock or other instrument or security whether or not such
security is, at any time during its life and under any
circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

 

(ii) From
the date hereof until the date that is thirty (30) days following
the time of the registration of all of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to and in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Company shall have
no knowledge of any fact that would cause the Registration
Statements required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
not to be effective and available for the resale of all remaining
Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will not directly
or indirectly, file any registration statement with the SEC other
than the Registration Statement and shall not file any Prospectus
Supplement with respect to any Subsequent Placement (as defined
below).

 

 

24

 

 

(iii) From the Closing Date until the
earlier of (x) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date and
(y) the first (1st) day following the
date that the Company raises aggregate gross proceeds of at least
$20,000,000 in one or more Subsequent Placement(s) occurring after
the Closing Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly,
effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first
complied with this Section 4(o)(iii).

 

(1) The Company shall
deliver to each Buyer an irrevocable written notice
(the "Offer Notice") of
any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange
(the "Offer") of the
securities being offered (the "Offered Securities") in a Subsequent
Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the
Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms
upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number
or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or
exchanged, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to
which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered,
issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or
exchange with such Buyers at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the
Offered Securities, allocated among such Buyers (a) based on such
Buyer's pro rata portion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
purchased hereunder (the "Basic
Amount") and (b) with respect to each Buyer that elects to
purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered
Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as
such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the
other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the
"Undersubscription Amount"),
which process shall be repeated until the Buyers shall have an
opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription
Amount.

 

(2) To accept an Offer,
in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to
the Company prior to the end of the second (2nd) Business Day after
such Buyer's receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer Period"), setting forth the
portion of such Buyer's Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to
purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its
Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer
elects to purchase (in either case, the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the Basic
Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all
of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an
Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be
entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed
for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for;
provided,
however, that if
the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference
between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts
subscribed for (the "Available
Undersubscription Amount"), each Buyer who has subscribed
for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only
that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic
Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers
that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to
rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably
necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and
conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer
Period, the Company may deliver to the Buyers a new Offer Notice
and the Offer Period shall expire on the second (2nd) Business Day after
such Buyer's receipt of such new Offer Notice.

 

 

25

 

 

(3) The Company shall
have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period
above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such
Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been
given by the Buyers (the "Refused
Securities") pursuant to a definitive agreement (the
"Subsequent Placement
Agreement"), but only to the offerees described in the Offer
Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions
(including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates)
that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or
less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer
Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such
Subsequent Placement Agreement and (b) either (x) the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement
Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on
Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents
contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

 

(4) In the event the
Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities
(any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in
Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole
option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of
the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an
amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the
Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to
Section 4(o)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the
numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered
Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange
(including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers
pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above prior to such reduction) and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the
Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce
the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice
of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more
than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless
and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in
accordance with Section 4(o)(iii)(1) above.

 

(5) Upon the closing of
the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the
Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from the Company, and
the Company shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of
Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as
reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above if the Buyers have
so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Company does not consummate the closing of the
issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused
Securities, within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the
Offer Period, the Company shall issue to the Buyers, the number or
amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notice of Acceptance,
as reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(4) above if the Buyers
have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Offer. The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is
subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by
the Company and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such
Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
the Buyers and their respective counsel.

 

 

26

 

 

(6) Any Offered
Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other persons in
accordance with Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above may not be issued, sold
or exchanged until they are again offered to the Buyers under the
procedures specified in this Agreement.

 

(7) The Company and the
Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer,
(x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such
Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto
(collectively, the "Subsequent
Placement Documents") shall include any term or provisions
whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in
trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Buyer
prior to such Subsequent Placement and (y) any registration rights
set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar
in all material respects to the registration rights contained in
the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

(8) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise
agreed to by the Buyers, the Company shall either confirm in
writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the
Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose
its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in
such a manner such that the Buyers will not be in possession of
material non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day
following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the fifth
(5th)
Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice no public
disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered
Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment
of such transaction has been received by the Buyers, such
transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers
shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public
information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide
to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities,
the Company shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and
each Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in
this Section 4(o)(iii). The Company shall not be permitted to
deliver more than one such Offer Notice to the Buyers in any 60 day
period (other than the Offer Notices contemplated by the last
sentence of Section 4(o)(iii)(2) of this Agreement).

 

(iv) The
restrictions contained in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any
Excluded Securities (as defined in the Warrants).

 

(p) Notice of Disqualification
Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior
to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to
any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the
passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any
Issuer Covered Person.

 

(q) FAST Compliance. While any
Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall maintain a
transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program.

 

 

27

 

 

(r) Closing Documents. On or prior
to thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company
agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Buyer and
Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP a complete closing set of the executed
Transaction Documents, Securities and any other documents required
to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or
otherwise.

 

5. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT
INSTRUCTIONS.

 

(a) Register. The Company shall
maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each
holder of Securities), a register for the Notes and the Warrants in
which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person
in whose name the Notes and the Warrants have been issued
(including the name and address of each transferee), the principal
amount of Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion
Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by
such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available
at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or
its legal representatives.

 

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions.
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer
agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, in the form of
Exhibit D attached
hereto (the "Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions") to issue certificates or credit shares
to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name
of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares issued at the Closing or pursuant to
the terms of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in such amounts
as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon
conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants. The Company
warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop
transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will
be given by the Company to its transfer agent, and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a
sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with
Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at
DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such
Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event
that such sale, assignment or transfer involves the Conversion
Shares or the Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant
to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the
transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee
or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees,
in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance
and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.

specific date which shall be true and correct as of such specified
date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied
in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and
conditions required by the Transaction Documents to be performed,
satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the

failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching
party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with
respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such
date by delivering a written notice to that effect to each other
party to this Agreement and without liability of any party to any
other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall remain
obligated to reimburse Empery or its designee(s), as applicable,
for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above.

 

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury
Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed
by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other
than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
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 HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
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; provided that a facsimile or .pdf
signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding
upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the
signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf
signature.

 

 

31

 

 

(c) Headings. The headings of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part
of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

(d) Severability. If any provision
of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to
be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest
extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity
or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this
Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject
matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal
obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The
parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments.
This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all
other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the
Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with
respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the
other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein
and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as
specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor
any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. Provisions of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of
the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Notes
and Warrants (without regard to any restriction or limitation on
the exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Notes contained
therein) and shall include (i) affiliates of Empery Asset
Management, LP ("Empery") so
long as Empery or any of its affiliates holds any Securities and
(ii) affiliates of Ayrton Capital LLC ("Ayrton") so long as Ayrton or any of its
affiliates holds any Securities (the "Required Holders"). Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be
binding upon each Buyer and holder of Securities and the Company.
No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies
to less than all of the Buyers or holders of Securities. No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the
Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the
reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties
to the Transaction Documents, holders of Notes or holders of the
Warrants, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or
indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the
terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction
Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms
that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any
commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any
financing to the Company or otherwise.

respectively.

 

(g) Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any
purchasers of the Notes or the Warrants. The Company shall not
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Required Holders,
including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company
is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing
Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes and the Warrants).
A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the
consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be
deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned
rights.

 

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not
for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by,
any other Person, except that each Indemnitee shall have the right
to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section
9(k).

 

(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement
is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties
of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3, and
the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall
survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its
own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
hereunder.

 

(j) Further Assurances. Each party
shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such
further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as 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.

 

 

34

 

 

(k) Indemnification. In
consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and
in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the
Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the
Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers,
directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of
the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including,
without limitation, those retained in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
"Indemnitees") from and
against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims,
losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and
expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification
hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach
of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any
covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action,
suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third
party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on
behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the
execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to
be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the
proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the status of
such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the
Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. 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 that is permissible under
applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics
and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under
this Section 9(k) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6
of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company will not be
liable to any Buyer under this indemnity: (i) for any settlement by
a Buyer in connection with any claim effected without the
Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (ii) to the
extent, but only to the extent, that a claim is attributable to any
Buyer’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Buyer in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents.

 

(l) No Strict Construction. The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any
party.

 

(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and each
holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set
forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies
which such holders have been granted at any time under any other
agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have
under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of
this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover
damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement
and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the
Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform,
observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate
relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers
shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief
in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages
and without posting a bond or other security.

 

 

35

 

 

(n) Rescission
and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction
Documents, whenever any Buyer 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 Buyer 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.

 

(o) Payment Set Aside. To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers
hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or
the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or
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, foreign, 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.

 

(p) Independent Nature of Buyers'
Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under
any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible
in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or
in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so
constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are
in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall
not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the
Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or
as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges
and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in
the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the
advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this
Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall
not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January
__, 2018 (the "Agreement"),
by and among GT Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the
investors named on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto
(collectively, the "Holders"), pursuant to which the Company
is issuing to the Holders (i) senior convertible notes (the
"Notes"), which are
convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common
Stock") and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants"), which are exercisable to
purchase shares of Common Stock.

 

This
letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction
to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at
such time):

 

(i) to
issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes (the
"Conversion Shares"),
promptly upon your receipt of an instruction letter on Company
letterhead and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company,
which Company shall provide to you upon its receipt of a properly
completed and duly executed Conversion Notice, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit
I. The Company shall instruct you as to whether such shares
of Common Stock will contain a restrictive legend, and the details
of such legends, if applicable.

 

 (ii) to issue
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants (the
"Warrant Shares"), promptly
upon your receipt of an instruction letter on Company letterhead
and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, which
Company shall provide to you upon its receipt of a properly
completed and duly executed Exercise Notice, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit
II. The Company shall instruct you as to whether such Shares
will contain a restrictive legend, and the details of such legends,
if applicable.

 

 

44

 

 

Subject
to compliance with Computershare’s issuance, transfer, and
restricted stock processing requirements, including, but not
limited to, documents being submitted in good order, you
acknowledge and agree that so long as you have previously received
(a) written confirmation from the Company's legal counsel that either (i) a registration
statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933
Act"), or (ii) sales of the
Conversion Shares and/or the Warrant Shares may be made in
conformity with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act ("Rule 144") and (b) if applicable, a copy of such
registration statement, then within two (2) business days for
routine items of your receipt of a Company issuance instruction,
you shall issue the certificates
representing the Conversion Shares and/or the Warrant
Shares, as applicable, registered in the names of such
transferees, and such certificates
shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion
Shares and/or the Warrant Shares thereby and should not be subject
to any stop-transfer restriction; provided, however, that if such
Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares are not registered for resale under the 1933 Act or able to
be sold under Rule 144, then the certificates for such Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares
shall bear the following legend:

 

THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE
HOLDER, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR
RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE
SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE
SECURITIES.

 

A form
of written confirmation from the Company's outside legal counsel
that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares
has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is
attached hereto as Exhibit
III.

 

The
Company issues this instruction in accordance with, and this
instruction and your performance hereunder are subject to, the
terms of the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement currently in
effect between you and the Company.

Re:            

GT Biopharma, Inc.

 

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

[We
are][I am] counsel to GT Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 22, 2018 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), entered into by
and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively,
the "Holders") pursuant to
which the Company issued to the Holders senior convertible notes
(the "Notes") pursuant to
which shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock")
are issuable thereunder and warrants exercisable for shares of
Common Stock (the "Warrants"). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant
to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes and upon exercise
of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). In connection
with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ___, 2014, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________)
(the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") relating to the
Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling
stockholder thereunder.

 

In
connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of
the SEC's staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has
entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective
under the 1933 Act at [ENTER
TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on
[ENTER DATE OF
EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I]
have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the
SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has
been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending
before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities
are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

 

This
letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the
shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders
pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require
further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance
or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as
contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions dated January [●], 2018.

 

Very
truly yours,

Each
Buyer identified on the signature

RE: GT
Biopharma, Inc.

 

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

We have
acted as counsel to GT Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 22, 2018 (the
“Purchase Agreement”),
by and among the Company and each Buyer identified on the signature
pages thereto (the “Buyers”).

 

This
opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 7(ii) of the
Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this opinion and not
otherwise defined in this opinion shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

In
connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have made such
examination of law as we considered appropriate or advisable for
purposes hereof. We have also examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction
of:

 

(i) 

executed copies of
the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Notes and the Warrants (collectively, the “Agreements”);

 

(ii) 

the Company’s
Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and the
Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as amended and in
effect as of the date hereof, certified as true, accurate and
complete by an officer of the Company (collectively, the
“Organizational Documents”);

 

(iii) 

the Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 1, 2002, and the Certificate of Designations, Preferences
and Rights of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2017
(collectively, the “Certificates of
Designations”);

 

(iv) 

the original or
electronically transmitted certificates of good standing and
qualification of the Company and its Subsidiaries issued as of a
recent date by the Secretary of State of Delaware, the Department
of State of Florida, the Department of Consumer and Regulatory
Affairs, Corporations Division of the Government of the District of
Columbia and the Secretary of State of California (the
“Good
Standing Certificates”);

 

 

50

 

 

(v) 

the records of the
proceedings and actions of the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Board”) with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
certified as true, accurate and complete, and in full force and
effect, by an officer of the Company;

 

(vi) 

a certificate of an
officer of the Company (the “Officer
Certificate”), dated the
date hereof, as to certain factual matters; and

 

(vii) 

such other
certificates, documents and matters as we have deemed necessary and
appropriate to render the opinions set forth in this opinion,
subject to the limitations, assumptions, and qualifications noted
in this opinion.

 

All
references in this opinion letter to the Agreements shall refer
only to the body of such agreements and the disclosure schedules
attached to the Purchase Agreement, exclusive of any other
documents incorporated by reference therein and no opinion is
expressed with respect to any documents or provisions of any
documents which purport to be incorporated by reference in any
other document.

 

As to
factual matters, we have relied solely upon, and assumed the
accuracy, completeness, and genuineness of, the representations and
warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement, statements made in
the Officer’s Certificate, certificates of public officials
and oral and written representations made to us by officers of the
Company. With your permission, we have made no independent
investigation of any of the facts stated in any such certificate or
representation.

 

For
purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that: (i) each
party to the Agreements (other than the Company) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
respective state or jurisdiction in which it is organized and is
duly qualified to engage in the transactions contemplated by the
Agreements; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Agreements, and

51

 

 

Based
upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications
and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion
that:

 

G.

The Company is an
entity duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation and is in good standing under such
laws. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in the State of Florida, the
Government of the District of Columbia and the State of
California.

 

H.

The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform all of its obligations under the Agreements, including,
without limitation, the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants,
and, upon conversion of the Notes, issue the Conversion Shares and,
upon exercise of the Warrants, issue the Warrant Shares, in each
case, in accordance with the terms thereof. The execution and
delivery of the Agreements by the Company and the consummation by
it of the transactions contemplated therein (including, without
limitation, the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants)
have been duly authorized by the Board and no further consent or
authorization of the Company, the Board or its stockholders is
required therefor. The Agreements have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company. The Agreements constitute valid and
binding agreements or obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms,
except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and subject to
general equity principles and to limitations on availability of
equitable relief, including specific performance.

 

I.

The execution and
delivery of the Agreements by the Company does not and the
performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not
conflict with or violate any provision of the Organizational
Documents or any of the Certificates of Designations, and does not
and will not, as the case may be, conflict with or violate (a) any
governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is
typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by
the Agreements, (b) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination or award which has been entered against the Company
and of which we are aware, in each case to the extent the violation
of which would materially and adversely affect the Company, taken
as a whole or (c) any of the agreements listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto.

 

J.

When so issued in
accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Warrants and the
Organizational Documents, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable upon receipt by the Company of full consideration
therefor. The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have been
duly and validly reserved for issuance by all proper corporate
action.

 

 

52

 

 

K.

Subject to the
accuracy of the information provided by the Buyers pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the Notes and the
Warrants in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and the issuance
and delivery of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and Warrants, as applicable,
do not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

 

L.

The execution,
delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreements and the
issuance of the Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares contemplated thereby, do not require any consent, license,
permit, waiver, approval or authorization of, or designation,
declaration, registration or filing with, any U.S. federal court,
governmental or regulatory authority, or self-regulatory
organization (other than any filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities
regulatory authorities, or the OTC QB that may be required to be
made by the Company) or from
the stockholders of the Company.

 

M.

The Company and its
Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, 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 Certificate of Incorporation as a result of the Buyers
and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their
rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation, the Company's issuance of Notes on the date hereof (and
the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms thereof ) and
the Warrants (and the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the terms
thereof) and the Buyers' and their affiliates' ownership of such
securities or any other securities of the Company acquired by the
Buyer or their affiliates.

 

N.

To our knowledge,
no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by
any court, public board or body or any governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization is pending or threatened against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or
assets.

 

O.

The sale of the Notes and the use of the proceeds thereof as
contemplated in the Transaction Documents will not violate or be
inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United
States.

 

Our
opinions are qualified as follows:

 

A. Where we render an
opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item
“known to us” or our opinion otherwise uses a phrase of
similar meaning, it is intended to indicate that, during the course
of our representation of the Company, no information that would
give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such
statement has come to the attention of Jenifer Smith, Jay Buchanan
and Nicole Huang, the attorneys in this firm who have rendered or
are rendering substantive legal services to the Company in the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. However,
except as otherwise expressly indicated, with your permission we
have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the
accuracy of such statements and any limited inquiry undertaken by
us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be
regarded as such an investigation. No inference as to our knowledge
of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should
be drawn from the fact of our representation of the
Company.

 

 

53

 

 

B. The foregoing
opinions are limited to the federal laws of the United States of
America, the laws of the State of Texas and the Delaware General
Corporation Law, each as in effect on the date hereof, and which in
our experience are normally applicable to the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, but in each case without
our having made any special investigation concerning any other law,
rule or regulation (collectively, “Applicable
Laws”). The members of this Firm that have worked on
the transaction are not admitted to practice in the State of
Delaware or the State of New York and do not purport to be experts
on the laws of the State of Delaware generally or on the laws of
the State of New York. Our opinions herein with respect to the
Delaware General Corporation Law are based solely upon a review of
such laws as reported in standard compilations and, with your
permission, such opinions are based solely on such limited review.
Any opinions herein regarding the Transaction Documents that are
governed by the laws of the State of New York assume that the laws
of the State of New York are identical to the laws of the State of
Texas and are limited to the application of the laws of the State
of Texas by the courts located in the State of Texas, without
regard to principles regarding conflicts of laws.

 

C. We express no
opinion as to compliance with U.S. federal securities laws (except
as otherwise set forth in this opinion), state or non-U.S.
securities laws, anti-trust, unfair competition, tax, banking,
financial services, insurance, usury, anti-terrorism, anti-money
laundering, pension, intellectual property, health, safety and
welfare, environmental, land use, criminal, or privacy laws. We
also express no opinion as to any laws that may apply to a party to
the Agreements due to the nature of any person’s business or
activities or the industry in which such person does business. We
express no opinion as to the Company’s compliance or
noncompliance with applicable federal or state antifraud statutes,
laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation, the
accuracy or completeness of the information provided to you in
connection with the offer and sale of the Securities. Furthermore,
we express no opinion regarding (i) laws, rules or regulations
applicable to (1) patents, copyrights, trademarks and other
proprietary rights and licenses and (2) health care regulatory
matters or health care reimbursement, or (ii) matters regulated or
administered by the United States Food and Drug
Administration.

 

D. We express no
opinion concerning the past, present or future value of any
securities.

 

This
opinion letter is predicated solely upon laws in existence and
facts as we know them as of the date hereof and is limited to the
matters expressly stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may
be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. We
expressly disclaim any obligation to update this opinion after the
date hereof for any reason, including but not limited to, any new
or changed facts or law which come to our attention after the date
hereof. This letter is based upon our professional knowledge and
judgment at this time; however, it is not to be construed as a
guaranty, nor is it a warranty that a court considering such
matters would not rule in a manner contrary to the opinions set
forth herein.

 

This
opinion letter is intended solely for your benefit solely with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
and may not be used by you for any other purpose and may not be
made available to or relied upon by any other person or entity
without our express prior written consent.

Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls

 

As of
June 30, 2017, management of the Company conducted an assessment of
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. In making this assessment, it used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework. In the course of the
assessment, material weaknesses were identified in the
Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

 

Management
determined that fundamental elements of an effective control
environment were missing or inadequate as of June 30, 2017. The
most significant issues identified were: 1) lack of segregation of
duties due to very small staff and significant reliance on outside
consultants, and 2) risks of executive override also due to lack of
established policies, and small employee staff. Based on the
material weaknesses identified above, management has concluded that
internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
June 30, 2017.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement"), dated as of
January 22, 2018, by and among GT Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with headquarters located at 1825 K Street, Suite 510,
Washington, D.C. 20006 (the "Company"), and the investors listed on
the Schedule of Buyers attached hereto (each, a "Buyer" and collectively, the
"Buyers").

 

WHEREAS:

 

A.           In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the
parties hereto of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the
Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Securities Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell to each Buyer
(i) senior convertible notes of the Company (the "Notes"), which will, among other things,
be convertible into the Company's common stock, par value $0.001
per share (the "Common

terms of the Notes, collectively, the "Conversion Shares") and (ii) warrants
(the "Warrants") which will
be exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock (as exercised,
collectively, the "Warrant
Shares") in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants.

 

B.           In
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the
"1933 Act"), and applicable
state securities laws.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each of the Buyers hereby
agree as follows:

 

1.           Definitions.

 

Capitalized terms

respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

 

(a)           "Additional
Effective Date" means the date the Additional Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

 

(b)           "Additional
Effectiveness Deadline" means the date which is the earlier
of (x) (i) in the event that the Additional Registration Statement
is not subject to a full review by the SEC, thirty (30) calendar
days after the earlier of the
Additional Filing Date and the Additional Filing Deadline or
(ii) in the event that the Additional Registration Statement is
subject to a full review by the SEC, sixty (60) calendar days after
the earlier of the Additional Filing
Date and the Additional Filing Deadline and (y) the fifth
(5th)
Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in
writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Additional
Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject
to further review; provided, however, that if the Additional

2.           Registration.

 

(a)           Initial
Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as
soon as practicable but in no event later than the Initial Filing
Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on
Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable
Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a
registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available
for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably
acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant
hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount
determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is
initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 2(f). The Initial Registration Statement shall contain
(except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the
"Plan of
Distribution" and "Selling Stockholders" sections
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall
use its best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m.
New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective
Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule
424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in
connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration
Statement.

 

(b)           Additional
Mandatory Registrations. The Company shall prepare, and, as
soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional
Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration
Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional
Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional
Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the
SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to
be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company
shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying
to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the
maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until
the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered
with the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a
registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available
for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably
acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared
pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required
Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional
Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional
Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed
by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and
"Selling
Stockholders" sections in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit
B. The Company shall use its best efforts to have each
Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional
Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business
Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file
with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the
final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to
such Additional Registration Statement.

 

(c)           Allocation
of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase
or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included
therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on
the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the
time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of
Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared
effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or
otherwise transfers any of such Investor's Registrable Securities,
each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then
remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common
Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain
allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be
allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number
of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are
covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the
Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on
any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the
Required Holders.

 

 

5

 

 

(d)           Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders
shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and
oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 ("Legal Counsel"), which shall be Schulte
Roth & Zabel LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated
by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall
reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company's
obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e)           Ineligibility
for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available
for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities
hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the
Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form
reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to
register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such
form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until
such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the
Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the
SEC.

 

(f)           Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of
shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover the Required
Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be
covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor's allocated
portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c), the
Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file
a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor,
if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required
Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement,
in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later
than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or
new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the
foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a
Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all
of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of shares
of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration
Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount. The
calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made
without regard to any limitations on the issuance of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes or exercise of the
Warrants and such calculation shall assume (i) that the Notes are
then convertible in full into shares of Common Stock at the then
prevailing Conversion Rate (as defined in the Notes), (ii) the
initial outstanding principal amount of the Notes remains
outstanding through the scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the
Notes) and no redemptions of the Notes occur prior to the scheduled
Maturity Date and (iii) the Warrants are then exercisable in full
into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price
(as defined in the Warrants).

 

 

6

 

 

(g)           Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of
Registration Statement. If (i) the Initial Registration
Statement when declared effective fails to register the Initial
Required Registration Amount of Initial Registrable Securities (a
"Registration Failure"),
(ii) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed
by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the
SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a "Filing Failure") or (B) not declared
effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness
Deadline, (an "Effectiveness
Failure") or
(iii) on any day after the applicable Effective Date, sales of all
of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such
Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an
Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r)) pursuant to
such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without
limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other
limitation imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such
Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such
information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such
Registration Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of
the Common Stock) (a "Maintenance
Failure") then, as partial relief for the damages to any
holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability
to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall
not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in
equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the
additional obligation of the Company to register any Cutback
Shares), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable
Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in
cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price
(as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of
such Investor's Registrable Securities, whether or not included in
such Registration Statement, on each of the following dates: (i)
the day of a Registration Failure, (ii) the day of a Filing
Failure; (iii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iv) the
initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (v) on the thirtieth day
after the date of a Registration Failure and every thirtieth day
thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days)
until such Registration Failure is cured; (vi) on the thirtieth day
after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day
thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days)
until such Filing Failure is cured; (vii) on the thirtieth day
after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day
thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days)
until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (viii) on the
thirtieth day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and
every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less
than thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured. The
payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this
Section 2(g) are referred to herein as "Registration Delay Payments."
Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the
dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the
event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is
cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay
Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall
bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per
month (prorated for partial months) until paid in
full.

3.           Related
Obligations.

 

At such
time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement
with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the
Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of
disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have
the following obligations:

 

(a)           The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration
Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the
Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable
after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness
Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration Statement
effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of
(i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without
the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any
successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date
on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the
"Registration Period"). The
Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including
any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were
made) not misleading. The term "best efforts" shall mean, among
other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two
(2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company
learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will
be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further
comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may
be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c)
(which approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration
of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date
not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such
request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by
the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the
receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is
required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared
effective.

 

(b)           The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with
such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all
times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by
such Registration Statement until such time as all of such
Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance
with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are
required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant
to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on
Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Company shall have
incorporated such report by reference into such Registration
Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act
report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to
amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

 

 

8

 

 

(c)           The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon
(i) a Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior
to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements
to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form
10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K,
and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of
days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any
Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form
to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not
submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto
without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company
shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company
or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii)
promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one
copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and
all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company
shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the
Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

 

(d)           Upon
request, the Company shall furnish to each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement,
without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed
with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and
any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if
requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary
prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such
Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto
(or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably
request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

 

(e)           The
Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify,
unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies,
the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement under such other securities or "blue sky"
laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii)
prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations
and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the
Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for
sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section
3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process
in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal
Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of
actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose.

 

 

9

 

 

(f)           The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of
the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after
becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus
included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event
shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information),
and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue
statement or omission, and, upon request, deliver ten (10) copies
of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor
(or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor
may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or
any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness
shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile
or email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight
mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements
to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related
information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination
that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate. By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date
following the date any post-effective amendment has become
effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with
Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in
connection with sales pursuant to such Registration
Statement.

 

(g)           The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an
order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such
order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities
being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any
proceeding for such purpose.

 

(h)           If
any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be
described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an
underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request of
such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the
date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the
Company's independent certified public accountants in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such
date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such
Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is
customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to
the Investors.

 

 

10

 

 

(i)           If
any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be
described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an
underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make
available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel
and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Investors (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial
and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed
necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers,
directors and employees to supply all information which any
Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each
Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not
make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or
other information which the Company determines in good faith to be
confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so
notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final,
non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of
competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has
been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is
sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the
Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing
herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the
Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors'
ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is
otherwise consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.

 

(j)           The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of
information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with
federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such
information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or
omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such
information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of
this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning
an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written
notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of,
or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

 

(k)           The
Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all of the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be
listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same
class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if
the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under
the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion for
quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on the Principal
Market or (iii) if, despite the Company's best efforts, the Company
is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii),
to secure the inclusion for quotation on another Eligible Market
for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, to use its best efforts to arrange for
at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") as such with respect to such
Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses
in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section
3(k).

 

 

11

 

 

(l)           The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable
Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing
any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to
be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such
certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case
may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in
such names as the Investors may request.

 

(m)           If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable
(i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be
included therein relating to the sale and distribution of
Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered
or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms
of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such
offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments
to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an
Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

 

(n)           The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.

 

(o)           The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as
soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form
complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of
Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period
beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal
quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of a
Registration Statement.

 

(p)           The
Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.

 

(q)           Within
two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers
Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to
deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are
included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

 

12

 

 

(r)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective
Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public
information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the
time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of
the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company
and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required
(a "Grace Period");
provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors
in writing of the existence of material, non-public information
giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the
Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public
information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace
Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the
date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no
Grace Period shall exceed five (5) consecutive Trading Days and
during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace
Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of twenty (20) Trading Days
and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5)
Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an
"Allowable Grace Period").
For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the
Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors
receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and
include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice
referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice.
The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable
during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of
the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first
sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving
rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no
longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares
of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with
the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with
any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an
Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the
Investor's receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which
the Investor has not yet settled.

 

(s)           Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify
any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing
with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Buyer
being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the
Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided,
however,
that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including
the disclosure found in the "Plan of Distribution" section attached
hereto as Exhibit B
in the Registration
Statement.

 

(t)           Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date
hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or
after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing
the rights granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof.

 

4.           Obligations
of the Investors.

 

(a)           At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing
Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from
each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such
Investor's Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement
with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor
that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held
by it as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the
effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

 

13

 

 

(b)           Each
Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such
Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's
election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities
from such Registration Statement.

 

(c)           Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g)
or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable
Securities until such Investor's receipt of copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g)
or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no
supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to
which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the
Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first
sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet
settled.

 

(d)           Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to
it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

 

5.           Expenses
of Registration.

 

All
reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without
limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees,
printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall
also reimburse the Investors for the fees and disbursements of
Legal Counsel in connection with registration, filing or
qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which
amount shall be limited to $10,000 for
each such registration, filing or
qualification.

 

6.           Indemnification.

 

In the
event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:

 

 

14

 

 

(a)           To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby
does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the
directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents,
representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any
Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each,
an "Indemnified Person"),
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines,
penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid
in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively,
"Claims"), incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit,
inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or
other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or
threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a
party thereto ("Indemnified
Damages"), to which any of them may become subject insofar
as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any
jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered
("Blue Sky Filing"), or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used
prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or
contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with
the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any
rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv)
any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to Section 6(c),
the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as
such expenses are incurred and are due and payable (upon the
presentation of invoices or other reasonably requested
documentation), for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section
6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person
arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person
expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and
shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

(b)           In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not
jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and
in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each,
an "Indemnified Party"),
against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may
become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to
the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Investor expressly for use in connection with such
Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor
shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the
agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such
settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such
Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be
liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or
Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such
Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section
9.

 

 

15

 

 

(c)           Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under
this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding)
involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and 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 satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for
all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as
applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel
in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal
counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest
of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate 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
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such
action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person 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
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, 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 Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or
litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as
to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party
shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or
corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has
been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of
any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

 

16

 

 

(d)           The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e)           The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i)
any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and
(ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.

 

7.           Contribution.

 

To the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited
or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would
otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted
by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale
of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who
was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii)
contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be
limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such
seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement.

 

8.           Reports
Under the 1934 Act.

 

With a
view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to
sell securities of the Company to the public without registration
("Rule 144"), the Company
agrees to:

 

(a)           make
and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)           file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long
as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing
of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable
provisions of Rule 144; and

 

 

17

 

 

(c)           furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company
and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and
(iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to
permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144
without registration.

 

9.           Assignment
of Registration Rights.

 

The
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by
the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such
Investor's Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in
writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and
a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within
a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii)
immediately following such transfer or assignment the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws;
(iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice
contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or
assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of
the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have
been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

10.           Amendment
of Registration Rights.

 

Provisions of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of
the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such
amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that
disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and
obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and
obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written
consent of such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding
upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be
effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the
holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be
offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or
modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same
consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is
offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

11.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever
such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions,
notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the
same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis
of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner
of such Registrable Securities.

 

 

18

 

 

(b)           Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or
permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon
receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon delivery, when sent
by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically
or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party);
(iii) upon delivery, when sent by electronic mail (provided that
the sending party does not receive an automated rejection notice)
or (iv) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the
party to receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and
email addresses for such communications shall be:

waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in

IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR

HEREBY.

(e)           If
any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise
determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long
as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the
subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal
obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The
parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s).

 

(f)           This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the instruments referenced
herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and
therein. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the
instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior
agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

 

(g)           Subject
to the requirements of Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns
of each of the parties hereto.

 

(h)           The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.

 

(i)           This
Agreement may be executed in identical counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one
and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party,
may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile
transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of
the party so delivering this Agreement.

 

(j)           Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all
such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all
such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
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.

 

(k)           All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the
Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless
otherwise specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders,
determined as if all of the outstanding Notes then held by the
Investors have been converted for Registrable Securities without
regard to any limitations on the issuance of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the outstanding Warrants
then held by Investors have been exercised for Registrable
Securities without regard to any limitations on exercise of the
Warrants.

 

 

21

 

 

(l)           The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any
party.

 

(m)           This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for
the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any
other Person.

 

(n)           The
obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint
with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of
this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any
Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor. Nothing contained
herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, 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 herein.

Re:            

GT Biopharma, Inc.

 

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

[We
are][I am] counsel to GT Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of January [●], 2018 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), entered into by
and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively,
the "Holders") pursuant to
which the Company issued to the Holders senior convertible notes
(the "Notes") pursuant to
which shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock")
are issuable thereunder and warrants exercisable for shares of
Common Stock (the "Warrants"). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant
to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes and upon exercise
of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). In connection
with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ___, 2014, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________)
(the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") relating to the
Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling
stockholder thereunder.

 

In
connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of
the SEC's staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has
entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective
under the 1933 Act at [ENTER
TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on
[ENTER DATE OF
EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I]
have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the
SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has
been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending
before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities
are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

 

This
letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the
shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders
pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require
further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance
or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as
contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions dated January [●], 2018.

 

Very
truly yours,

 

[ISSUER'S COUNSEL]

EXHIBIT B

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The
shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders
are those issuable to the selling stockholders pursuant to the
terms of the convertible notes and upon exercise of the warrants.
For additional information regarding the issuance of those
convertible notes and warrants, see "Private Placement of
Convertible Notes and Warrants" above. We are registering the
shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders
to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the
ownership of the convertible notes and the warrants issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have
not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.

 

The
table below lists the selling stockholders and other information
regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by
each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling
stockholder, based on its ownership of the convertible notes and
warrants, as of January 23, 2018, assuming conversion of all
convertible notes and exercise of all warrants held by the selling
stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on the
issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the
Notes or exercise of the Warrants.

 

The
third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this
prospectus by the selling stockholders.

 

In
accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with
the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the
resale of at least the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of
shares of common stock issued and issuable pursuant to the
convertible notes as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC,
and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issued and
issuable upon exercise of the related warrants as of the Trading
Day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is
initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price of
the convertible notes, the number of shares that will actually be
issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered
by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of
the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this
prospectus. The fifth column lists the percentage ownership of our
common stock by each selling stockholder after completion of this
offering, assuming that each selling stockholder sells all of the
shares covered by this prospectus, to the extent such percentage
will exceed 1% of the total number of shares of common stock
outstanding.

 

Under
the terms of the convertible notes and the warrants, a selling
stockholder may not convert the convertible notes or exercise the
warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such
selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially
own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of
our then outstanding shares of common stock following such
conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such
determination shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms
of the convertible notes which have not been converted and upon
exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number
of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation.
The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares
in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are
registering the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the
terms of the convertible notes and upon exercise of the warrants to
permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of
the convertible notes and warrants from time to time after the date
of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from
the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock.
We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to
register the shares of common stock.

 

The
selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of
common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from
time to time directly or through one or more underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold
through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders
will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or
agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one
or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices
at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time
of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in
transactions, which may involve crosses or block
transactions,

 

●

on any national
securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities
may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

●

in the
over-the-counter market;

 

●

in transactions
otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the
over-the-counter market;

 

●

through the writing
of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
or otherwise;

 

●

ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;

 

●

block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the 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 and resale by the broker-dealer for
its account;

 

●

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

 

●

privately
negotiated transactions;

 

●

short
sales;

 

●

sales
pursuant to Rule 144;

 

●

broker-dealers
may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

30

 

 

●

a
combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

●

any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If the
selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of
common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions
in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares
of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may
sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as
to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in
excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).
In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or
otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short
sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in
positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell
shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock
covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to
return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The
selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The
selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in
some or all of the convertible notes, warrants or shares of common
stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of
their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may
offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time
pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus
under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the
list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or
other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate
the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the
transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will
be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.

 

The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the
distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any
commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any
such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular
offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus
supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth
the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and
the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other
terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and
any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or
paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under
the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may
be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock
may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or
qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration
or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

 

31

 

 

There
can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or
all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the
registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a
part.

 

The
selling stockholders and any other person participating in such
distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M
of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may
also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution
of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities
with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing
may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the
ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will
pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock
pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be
$[     ] in total, including, without
limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and
expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws;
provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will
indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including
some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the
registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be
entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling
stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information
furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in
this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights
agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once
sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus
forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in
the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
