ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

3.1           
Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, which Disclosure
Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosure
contained in the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to each Purchaser:

 

(a)            
Subsidiaries. All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are set forth on Schedule 3.1(a).
The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear
of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully
paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. If the Company has no subsidiaries,
all other references to the Subsidiaries or any of them in the Transaction Documents shall be disregarded.

 

(b)           
Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with
the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified
to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified
or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on
the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii)
a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under
any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been
instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority
or qualification.

    	9

    	 	

    
 

(c)            
Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action
on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders
in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii)
as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii)
insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(d)           
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute
a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary
is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required
Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction
of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities
laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case
of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	10

    	 	

    
 

(e)            
Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order
of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental
authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents,
other than: (i) the filings required pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Agreement, (ii) the filing with the Commission pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) the notice and/or application(s) to each applicable Trading Market for the issuance
and sale of the Securities and the listing of the Underlying Shares for trading thereon in the time and manner required thereby,
(iv) the filing of Form D with the Commission and such filings as are required to be made under applicable state securities laws
(collectively, the “Required Approvals”).

 

(f)            
Issuance of the Securities. The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the
applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed
by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents. The Underlying Shares, when issued
in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear
of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents. The Company
has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance of the Underlying Shares at
least equal to the Required Minimum on the date hereof.

 

(g)           
Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g), which Schedule 3.1(g)
shall also include the number of shares of Common Stock owned beneficially, and of record, by Affiliates of the Company as of the
date hereof. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report
under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option
plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant
to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report
under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right
to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the
Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any
right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which
the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The
issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person
(other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none
of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.
No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale
of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s
capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s
stockholders.

(h)           
SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to
file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being
collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of
such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates,
the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable,
and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, 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. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and
the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes
thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all
material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial,
year-end audit adjustments.

 

(i)             
Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest audited financial
statements included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date
hereof: (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables
and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required
to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission,
(iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution
of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of
its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant
to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment
of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 3.1(i),
no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or
exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, operations, assets or financial
condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation
is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is
made.

 

    	12

    	 	

    
 

(j)             
Litigation. There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before
or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign)
(collectively, an “Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability
of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof,
is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws
or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated,
any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission
has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or
any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

 

(k)           
Labor Relations. No labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of
the employees of the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s
or its Subsidiaries’ employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company
or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the
Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no
executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract
or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and 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. The Company
and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment
and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	13

    	 	

    
 

(l)             
Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has
occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary
under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation
of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree
or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to
taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except
in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(m)         
Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued
by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice
of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

 

(n)           
Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property
owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries
and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance
with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company
and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

 

    	14

    	 	

    
 

(o)           
Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications,
trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual
property rights and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as necessary or required for use in connection with their respective
businesses and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of,
the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned,
within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the
latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge
that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably
be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable
and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties,
except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(p)           
Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription
Amount. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business without a significant increase in cost.

 

(q)           
Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors
of the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental
of real or personal property to or from providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to, or otherwise requiring
payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer,
director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner,
in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement
for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock
option plan of the Company.

 

    	15

    	 	

    
 

(r)            
Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all
applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.
The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations,
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization,
and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules
and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(s)            
Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiaries
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or
with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

(t)             
Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers
as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
Trading Market.

 

(u)           
Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for
the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company”
subject to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(v)           
Registration Rights. Other than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiaries.

 

    	16

    	 	

    
 

(w)          
Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

 

(x)           
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any,
in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar
charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of
the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including
without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

 

(y)           
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company
and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do
not 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

 

    	17

    	 	

    
 

(z)            
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or 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 cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would
require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions
of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

  

(aa)         
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect
to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa)
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which
the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x)
any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

 

(bb)        
Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal,
state and local income and all foreign income and franchise 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 and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate
for the payment of all material 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 or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii)
made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties
or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made

respect any provision of FCPA.

 

(ee)

Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s
Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

 

(ff)          
Seniority. As of the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior to the Debentures
in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness
secured by purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby) and capital lease obligations
(which is senior only as to the property covered thereby).

 

(gg)        
No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably
anticipated by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the
Company and the Company is current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect the Company’s

based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or
other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions,
before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s
publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv) each
Purchaser 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 (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities
at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that
the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities
(if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging
activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a
breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(jj)

Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby
represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date
therein):

 

    	21

    	 	

    
 

(a)            
Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporated or formed with full right, corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents
and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance
with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)           
Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not
been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for
its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation
of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any
other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring
the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(c)            
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is,
and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts any Debentures it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional
buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer
under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

 

(d)           
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective
investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

    	22

    	 	

    
 

(e)            
General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated
hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding
with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period
commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other
Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately
prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that
is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed
by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to
other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection
with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of
doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification
of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the
future.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that
the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction
Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of
the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

ARTICLE IV. 

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1           
Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)            
The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer
of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser
or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of
such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

    	23

    	 	

    
 

(b)           
The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities
in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR
THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS
SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE
MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR”
AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

The Company
acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees
or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel
of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such
pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

 

    	24

    	 	

    
 

(c)            
Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)
hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following
any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144,
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such
Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the
removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Debenture is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there
is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under
Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations
and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The
Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading
Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares,
as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver
or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

 

(d)           
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date
such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c),
$10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such
Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities
as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

(e)            
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell
any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold
in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from
certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
understanding.

 

    	25

    	 	

    
 

4.2           
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further
acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying
Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim,
delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless
of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

 

4.3           
Furnishing of Information; Public Information.

 

(a)            
If the Common Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof, the Company agrees
to cause the Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the 60th calendar day
following the date hereof. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired,
the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to
timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed
by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act.

 

(b)
At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time
that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public
information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s
other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by
reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of
the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every
thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the
date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required  for the
Purchasers to transfer the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant
to this Section 4.3(b) 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 (3rd) 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. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages
for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

    	26

    	 	

    
 

4.4           
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in
respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would
be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that
it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before
the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.5           
Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the
form of Notice of Conversion included in the Debentures set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers
in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Debentures. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall
be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Debentures. The Company shall honor exercises of the
Warrants and conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time
periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.6           
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading
Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission
within the time required by the Exchange Act. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other
press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any
such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press
release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing
party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the
Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as required
by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and
(ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or
Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted
under this clause (b).

 

4.7           
Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company,
any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter
adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue
of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will
provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information,
unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company agrees to publicly disclose all material, non-public information
delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees
or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the Company’s next Periodic Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012, unless such information is no longer considered material, non public information
at the time of such filing; provided, however, that if such Period Report is not timely filed or such material, non-public
information is not disclosed in such Periodic Report, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K within 3 Trading Days
of the initial due date of the Period Report, disclosing such material, non-public information.

 

4.9           
Use of Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9 attached hereto, the Company shall use the net
proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction
of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s
business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of
any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

 

4.10        
Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify
and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each
Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each,
a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages,
costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of
the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents
or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any
stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents (unless such action

 

    	28

    	 	

    
 

is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties
or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder
or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing,
and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the
Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent
that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party,
in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.
The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected
without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but
only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 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 are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein
shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

4.11        
Reservation and Listing of Securities.

 

(a)            
The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction
Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)           
If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the
Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s
certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the
Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.

 

    	29

    	 	

    
 

(c)            
The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file
with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to
the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be
approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence
of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the
Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.

 

4.12        
Participation in Future Financing.

 

(a)            
From the date hereof until the date that is the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units
hereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of
the Subsequent Financing equal to the ratio of the Purchaser’s Subscription Amount and the amount proposed to be raised in
such Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for
in the Subsequent Financing.

 

(b)           
At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser
a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask
such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).
Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall
promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The
Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of
proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed
to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

 

(c)            
Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later
than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice
that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation,
and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set
forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (5th)
Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

 

(d)           
If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th ) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received
the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their
designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect
the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

    	30

    	 	

    
 

(e)  
If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received
the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the
aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined
below) of the Participation Maximum.  “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount
of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate
Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.

 

(f)            
The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the
right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing
Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading
Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(g)           
The Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the
transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall
be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to
any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

 

(h)           
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed
to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent
Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either
case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth
(10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure
regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such
transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall
not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
 

 

(i)             
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance, or (ii) an underwritten
public offering of Common Stock.

 

4.13        
Subsequent Equity Sales.

 

    	31

    	 	

    
 

(a)            
From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting
or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise
price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares
of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or
upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market
for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company
may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company
to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

 

(b)           
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable
Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

  

4.14        
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) 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 is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of
principal or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on
the Debentures at any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each
Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as
a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition
or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

4.15        
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases
or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this
Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to
the initial press release as described in Section 4.6.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant
to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and
terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and
agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions
in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting
any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance
of the initial press release as described in Section 4.6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that
is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

 

    	32

    	 	

    
 

4.16        
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required
under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall 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 Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States,
and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

 

4.17        
Subsidiaries. In the event that the Company hereafter forms or acquires a Subsidiary, the Company shall immediately
cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver each Purchaser the Subsidiary Guarantee (in addition to complying with the requirements
of the Security Agreement).

 

4.18        
Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse
or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority
in principal amount outstanding of the Debentures.

 

ARTICLE V. 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1           
Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations
hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice
to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before _________ ___, 2012; provided, however,
that such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

 

    	33

    	 	

    
 

5.2           
Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Hillair Capital Management LLC (“Hillair”)

the non-accountable sum of $40,000 for its due diligence expenses, $10,000 of which has been paid prior to the Closing and (y)
reasonable travel expenses as set forth in the Closing Statement. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, prior to the Closing,
a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached hereto as Annex A. Except as expressly set forth in the
Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other
experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required
for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any conversion or exercise notice delivered by a
Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

 

5.3           
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the
entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents,
exhibits and schedules.

 

5.4

shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication

5.5           
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except
in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least 67% in interest
of the Securities then outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision
is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to
be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.

 

5.6           
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall
not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

    	34

    	 	

    
 

5.7           
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement
to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be
bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

 

5.8           
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person,
except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.10 and this Section 5.8.

 

5.9           
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the
Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees
or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City 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
(including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), 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 improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. 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 via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then,
in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.10, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall
be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

5.10        
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of
the Securities.

 

5.11        
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall
be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create
a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

    	35

    	 	

    
 

5.12        
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions
set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially
the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to
be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without
including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13        
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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; provided,
however, that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Debenture or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser
shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently
with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such
Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement
warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

5.14        
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof
(in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance
of such replacement Securities.

 

5.15        
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including
recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.
The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations
contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any
such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

    	36

    	 	

    
 

5.16        
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to
any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds
of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver
or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred.

 

5.17        
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any
manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser
in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction
Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the
“Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest,
or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable
to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof,
the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from
the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever,
interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction
Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded
to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

 

5.18        
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any
Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible
in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing
contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including,
without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary
for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented
by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience
