1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
(a) Exercise Period. The Holder may exercise this Warrant for a period of five years from the Effective Date of this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.
 
(b) Exercise Procedures.
 
(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by:
 
(A) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed copy of the notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Exercise");
 
(B) surrender of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and
 
(C) payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant (such amount, the "Aggregate Exercise Price") made in the form of cash, or by certified check, wire transfer, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
 
(ii) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to Section 1(b)(iii), the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the "Date of Exercise") that the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the case may be. Upon delivery of each of the items set forth in Section 1(b)(i), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares.
 
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(b), the Holder may not exercise this Warrant if and to the extent that such exercise would require the Company to issue a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, less all amounts of Common Stock that have been reserved for issue upon the conversion of all outstanding securities convertible into shares of Common Stock and the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights exercisable for shares of Common Stock. If the Company does not have the requisite number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary stockholder consent to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to permit such Holder to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1(b)(i).
 
(c) Partial Exercise. This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant; provided, that any such partial exercise must be for an integral number of Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such reduced number of Warrant Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.
 
(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES
 
(a) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security interests, with the exception of claims arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as arising from applicable Federal and state securities laws.
 
(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.
 
(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.
 
3. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE, NUMBER AND TYPE OF WARRANT SHARES
 
(a) The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3(a); provided, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment if and to the extent that such adjustment would require the Company to issue a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, less all amounts of Common Stock that have been reserved for issue upon the conversion of all outstanding securities convertible into shares of Common Stock and the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights exercisable for shares of Common Stock. If the Company does not have the requisite number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to make any adjustment, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary stockholder consent to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to make such an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(a).
 
(i) Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide (whether by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined (whether by way of stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately decreased. The Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 3(a)(i).
 
(ii) Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification. If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:
 
	 
	3

	

	 

 
(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or
 
(B) additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3(a)(i) above),
 
then and in each such case, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares to be obtained upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to above) that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property. The Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 3(a)(ii).
 
(iii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an "Organic Change"), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law. 
 
(b) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.
 
	 
	4

	

	 

 
(c) Certain Events. If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.
 
4. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES
 
(a) Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. Subject to Section 4(c), upon the Holder's surrender of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Form of Assignment attached as Exhibit B, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant. Upon such registration of transfer, the Company shall issue a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing the acquisition rights transferred to the transferee and a new Warrant, in similar form, evidencing the remaining acquisition rights not transferred, to the Holder requesting the transfer.
 
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. The Holder may exchange this Warrant for a new Warrant or Warrants, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, which may then be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to be dated the date of such exchange and to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be designated by the Holder. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant with duly executed instructions regarding such re-certification of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder.
 
(c) Restrictions on Transfers. This Warrant may not be transferred at any time without (i) registration under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from such registration and a written opinion of legal counsel addressed to the Company that the proposed transfer of the Warrant may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion will be in form and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
 
(d) Permitted Transfers and Assignments.

5. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATE
 
If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon request by the Holder, the Company will, at its expense, issue, in exchange for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in substitution for the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, representing the right to acquire the equivalent number of Warrant Shares; provided, that, as a prerequisite to the issuance of a substitute Warrant, the Company may require satisfactory evidence of loss, theft or destruction as well as an indemnity from the Holder of a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant.

This Placement Agency Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms upon which Katalyst Securities LLC ("Katalyst"), a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") (hereinafter referred to as the "Placement Agent"), shall be engaged by CÜR Media, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), to act as exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the private placement (the "Offering") of the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company (the "Bridge Notes"). The initial closing of the Offering will be conditioned upon acceptance of subscriptions for the Minimum Amount (as defined in Section 1(a) below).
 
1. Appointment of Placement Agent.

(a) On the basis of the written and documented representations and warranties of the Company provided herein, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Placement Agent is hereby appointed as an exclusive Placement Agent of the Company during the Offering Period (as defined in Section 1(b) below) to assist the Company in finding qualified subscribers for the Offering. The Placement Agent may assist the Company to sell the Bridge Notes through other broker-dealers who are FINRA members (collectively, the "Sub Agents") and may reallow all or a portion of the Placement Agent Fees (as defined in Section 3(b) below) it receives to such other Sub Agents or pay a finders or consultant fee to such other Sub Agents as allowed by applicable law. On the basis of such representations and warranties and subject to such terms and conditions, the Placement Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the services hereunder diligently and in good faith and in a professional and businesslike manner and in compliance with applicable law and to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Company in finding subscribers for the Bridge Notes who qualify as "accredited investors," as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (as defined in Section 1(c) below). The Placement Agent has no obligation to purchase any of the Bridge Notes or sell any Bridge Notes. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the engagement of the Placement Agent hereunder shall continue until the later of the Termination Date (as defined in Section 1(b) below) or the Final Closing (as defined in Section 4(e) below). The Offering is currently anticipated to be the private placement of a minimum of gross proceeds of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the "Minimum Amount") and a maximum of gross proceeds of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the "Maximum Amount") through the sale of the Bridge Notes, which are convertible into units of the Company's securities (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of one (1) share (the "Unit Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") and a warrant (the "Unit Warrants") to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock received upon conversion (the "Unit Warrant Shares")at an exercise price equal to 125% of the price at which the Company's equity securities are sold in Qualified Offering (as defined below). The offering price per Bridge Note is par (100%) (the "Offering Price"). The minimum subscription is Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), provided, however, that subscriptions in lesser amounts may be accepted by the Company in its sole discretion.

The Bridge Notes will be an obligation of the Company that will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and will mature on the date that is six (6) months from the date of issuance, subject to earlier conversion as described below. The interest on the Bridge Notes shall be accrued and shall be payable at maturity.
 
The Bridge Notes will be secured by a security interest in and lien on all now owned or hereafter acquired assets and property, real and personal, of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's intellectual propertypursuant to the Security Agreement by and between the Company and the subscribers in the Offering (the "Security Agreement"). The security interest in and liens on all assets and property of the Company will be a first priority security interest and will be senior to all existing indebtedness of the Company.
 
Mandatory conversion of the principal amount of the Notes, and any accrued and unpaid interest, into Units following a qualified offering (a "Qualified Offering") of at least Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (including the capital raised in this Offering) in equity securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for equity securities ("Equity Financing Securities"), at a conversion price per Unit equal to the lesser of 80% of (a) the price per share of the Equity Financing Securities sold in the Qualified Offering, or (b) $7.00 (the "Mandatory Conversion").
 
(b) The Placement Agent is engaged to raise a Minimum Amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and a Maximum Amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of Bridge Notes, on a reasonable best efforts basis. The Company agrees and acknowledges that the Placement Agent is not acting as an underwriter with respect to the Offering and the Company shall determine the purchasers in the Offering in its sole discretion. The Bridge Notes will be offered by the Company to potential subscribers, which may include related parties of the Placement Agent or the Company, until the later of (a) such time as the Maximum Amount is sold or (b) April 30, 2016, subject to a thirty (30) day extension if agreed to by the Company and the Placement Agent (the "Offering Period"). The date on which the Offering is terminated shall be referred to as the "Termination Date". The closing of the Offering may be held up to ten days after the Termination Date.
 
(c) The Company shall only offer securities to and accept subscriptions from or sell Bridge Notes to, persons or entities that qualify as (or are reasonably believed to be) "accredited investors," as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D ("Regulation D") as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),or to persons or entities that are not a "U.S. Persons" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S ("Regulation S") as promulgated by the SEC under the Act. 
 
(d) The offering of Bridge Notes will be made by the Placement Agent on behalf of the Company solely pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the subscribers in the Offering (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") and the Exhibits to the Securities Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, and to the extent applicable, the Investor Term Sheet (the "Investor Term Sheet"), the Security Agreement, the Bridge Note, and any documents, agreements, supplements and additions thereto (collectively, the "Subscription Documents"), which at all times will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Placement Agent and their respective counsel and contain such legends and other information as the Company and the Placement Agent and their respective counsel, may, from time to time, deem necessary and desirable to be set forth therein.
 
(e) With respect to the Offering, the Company shall provide the Placement Agent, on terms set forth herein, the right to offer and sell up to the Maximum Amount of available Bridge Notes being offered during the Offering Period (subject to prior offer and sale of some of the Bridge Notes). It is understood that no sale shall be regarded as effective unless and until accepted by the Company. The Company may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject, in whole or in part, any prospective investment in the Bridge Notes or allot to any prospective subscriber less than the number of Bridge Notes that such subscriber desires to purchase. Purchases of Bridge Notes may be made by the Placement Agent and its selected Sub Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees and affiliates and by the officers, directors, employees and affiliates of the Company (collectively, the "Affiliates") for the Offering and such purchases will be made by the Affiliates based solely upon the same information that is provided to the investors in the Offering.

2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
 
A. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Placement Agent that, unless and except as otherwise set forth in the Company's SEC Filings (as defined in Section 2(A)(b) below)immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 is true in all respects as of the date hereof and will be true in all respects as of the Closing Date and any subsequent Closing Dates (as defined in Section 4(e) below). In addition to the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties made or given by the Company to any acquirer of Bridge Notes in the Offering in any agreement, certificate, legal opinion or otherwise in connection with an Offering. For purposes of this Section 2(A), the term Company includes all of the Company's subsidiaries (if any).
 
(a) The Subscription Documents have been and/or will be prepared by the Company, in conformity with all applicable laws, and in compliance with Regulation D, Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Regulation S and the requirements of all other rules and regulations (the "Regulations") of the SEC relating to offerings of the type contemplated by the Offering, and the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of those jurisdictions wherein the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Bridge Notes are to be offered and sold (including U.S. states). The Bridge Notes will be offered and sold pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Regulation D, Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and Regulation S as a transaction not involving a public offering and the requirements of any other applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations thereunder in those United States jurisdictions in which the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Bridge Notes are being offered for sale. None of the Company, its affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Placement Agent, its respective affiliates or any person acting on their behalf, in respect of which no representation is made) has taken nor will it take any action that conflicts with the conditions and requirements of, or that would make unavailable with respect to the Offering, the exemption(s) from registration available pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Regulation S and applicable state securities laws, or knows of any reason why any such exemption would be otherwise unavailable to it). 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 require registration under the Act of the issuance of the Bridge Notes, Unit Shares, Unit Warrants, Unit Warrant Shares, Placement Agent Warrants (as defined in Section 3(b) below) or the Placement Agent Warrants Shares (as defined in Section 3(b) below)). None of the Company, its predecessors or affiliates has been subject to any order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoining such person for failing to comply with Rule 503 of Regulation D or the equivalent state securities law requirements. The Company has not, for a period of six months prior to the commencement of the offering of Bridge Notes, sold, offered for sale or solicited any offer to buy any of its securities in a manner that would be integrated with the offer and sale of the Bridge Notes pursuant to this Agreement, would cause the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506(B) of Regulation D and state securities laws to become unavailable with respect to the offer and sale of the Bridge Notes to this Agreement in the United States. The Company's Common Stock is currently traded on the OTCQB(the "Principal Market"). The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4(e) below), will be in compliance with all of the then-applicable requirements for continued quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market.
 
(b) The Subscription Documents, as prepared and contemplated by the Company, will not and do not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the statements, documents, certificates or other items made, prepared or supplied by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made. There is no fact which the Company has not disclosed in the Subscription Documents or which is not disclosed in the filings (the "SEC Filings") that the Company makes with the SEC and of which the Company is aware that materially adversely affects or that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the (i) assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business or business prospects of the Company or (ii) ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Subscription Documents (the "Company Material Adverse Effect"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans) that may have been delivered to the Placement Agent or its respective representatives, except that such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans have been prepared in good faith on the basis of assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable at the time of such preparation. Other than the Company's SEC Filings, the Company has not distributed and will not distribute prior to the Closing any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Bridge Notes, unless such offering materials are provided to the Placement Agent prior to or simultaneously with such delivery to the offerees of the Bridge Notes.

No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the valid issuance or sale of the Bridge Notes, the Unit Shares, the Unit Warrants, and upon exercise of the Unit Warrants, the Unit Warrant Shares, the Placement Agent Warrants and, upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants Shares by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, other than such as have been made or obtained and that remain in full force and effect, and except for the filing of a Form D or any filings required to be made under state securities laws, which shall be timely filed by the Company.

In addition to the foregoing agreement to indemnify and reimburse, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Placement Agent Indemnitee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings or investigations in respect thereof), joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees, including appeals) to which any Placement Agent Indemnitee may become subject insofar as such costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon the claim of any person or entity that he or it is entitled to broker's or finder's fees from any Placement Agent Indemnitee in connection with the Offering as a result of the Company obligating itself or any Indemnitee to pay such a fee, other than fees due to the Placement Agent, its dealers, sub-agents or finders. The foregoing indemnity agreements will be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. The Placement Agent Indemnitees are intended third party beneficiaries of this provision.

(b) The Placement Agent will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its agents and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, selected dealers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act and such agents (each a "Company Indemnitee" or a "Company Party") against, and pay or reimburse each Company Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or Proceedings, joint or several (which will, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees, including appeals), to which any Company Indemnitee may become subject (a) under the Act or otherwise, in connection with the offer and sale of the Bridge Notes and (b) which results from (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Subscription Documents made in reliance upon and in conformity with information contained in the Subscription Documents relating to the Placement Agent, or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in either case, if made or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent, specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (y) any violations by the Placement Agent of the Act or state securities laws which does not result from a violation thereof by the Company Indemnitees or any of their respective affiliates, and (ii) reimburse each Company Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, action, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, in no event (except in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Placement Agent to the extent and only to the extent if found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall the Placement Agent's indemnification obligation hereunder exceed the amount of Placement Agent Cash Fees actually received by the Placement Agent.
 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, claim, proceeding or investigation (the "Action"), such indemnified party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, will notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 unless the indemnifying party has been substantially prejudiced by such omission. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided, however, that if the indemnified party shall be requested by the indemnifying party to participate in the defense thereof or shall have concluded in good faith and specifically notified the indemnifying party either that there may be specific defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that such Action involves or could have a Company Material Adverse Effect upon it with respect to matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement, then the counsel representing it, to the extent made necessary by such defenses, shall have the right to direct such defenses of such Action on its behalf and in such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in connection with any such participation or defenses shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No settlement of any Action against an indemnified party will be made without the consent of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of all factors of importance to such party, and no indemnifying party shall be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such claim effected without such indemnifying party's consent. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party requests the indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated by this indemnity agreement, the indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent if (i) the proposed settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) the indemnifying party has not reimbursed the indemnified party within 30 days of such request for reimbursement, (iii) the indemnified party delivered written notice to the indemnifying party of its intention to settle and the failure to pay within such 30 day period, and (iv) the indemnifying party does not, within 15 days of receipt of the notice of the intention to settle and failure to pay, reimburse the indemnified party for such legal or other expenses and object to the indemnified party's seeking to settle such Proceedings.

9. Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution, if: (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8 hereof and it is finally determined, by a judgment, order or decree not subject to further appeal that such claims for indemnification may not be enforced, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total Placement Agent Fees received by the Placement Agent. The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission will be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent for contribution were determined by pro rata allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses or by any other method or allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 9. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This Section 9 is intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available. 
 
10. Termination. 
 
(a) The Offering may be terminated by the Placement Agent at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period in the event that: (i) any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein or in the Subscription Documents shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when actually made; (ii) the Company shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or under any other Company Transaction Document or any other transaction document; (iii) there shall occur any event, within the control of the Company that is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated hereunder or the ability of the Company to perform hereunder; or (iv) the Placement Agent determines that it is reasonably likely that any of the conditions to Closing to be fulfilled by the Company set forth herein will not, or cannot, be satisfied. 
 
(b) This Offering may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Termination Date in the event that (i) the Placement Agent shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or (ii) on account of the Placement Agent's fraud, illegal or willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of any termination by the Company, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to receive, on the Termination Date, all unpaid Placement Agent Fees earned or accrued through the Termination Date and reimbursement of all expenses as provided for in this Agreement, but shall be entitled to no other amounts whatsoever except as may be due under any indemnity or contribution obligation for provided herein, at law or otherwise. On such Termination Date, the Company shall pay all such unpaid costs and expenses incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering, Placement Agent counsel fee provided above and all unpaid Blue Sky Fees and other expenses set forth in Section 5(i) hereof.
 
(c) This Offering may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. 
 
(d) Except as otherwise provided above, before any termination by the Placement Agent under Section 10(a) or by the Company under Section 10(b) shall become effective, the terminating party shall give ten (10) day prior written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate the Offering (the "Termination Notice"). The Termination Notice shall specify the grounds for the proposed termination. If the specified grounds for termination, or their resulting adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby, are curable, then the other party shall have five (5) days from the Termination Notice within which to remove such grounds or to eliminate all of their material adverse effects on the transactions contemplated hereby; otherwise, the Offering shall terminate.
 
(e) Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 10, the Placement Agent and the Company will instruct the Escrow Agent to cause all monies received with respect to the subscriptions for Bridge Notes not accepted by the Company to be promptly returned to such subscribers without interest, penalty or deduction.

11. Survival.
 
(a) The obligations of the parties to pay any costs and expenses hereunder and to provide indemnification and contribution as provided herein shall survive any termination hereunder. In addition, the provisions of Sections 3, and 8 through 22 shall survive the sale of the Bridge Notes or any termination of the Offering hereunder.
 
(b) The respective indemnities, covenants, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of, and regardless of any access to information by the Company or the Placement Agent, or any of their officers or directors or any controlling person thereof, and will survive the sale of the Bridge Notes or any termination of the Offering hereunder. 
 
12. Notices. All notice and other communications hereunder will be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given to a party by (a) personal delivery; (b) upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by certified mail, return receipt requested, first-class mail, postage prepaid; (c) delivered by hand or by messenger or overnight courier, addressee signature required, to the addresses below or at such other address and/or to such other persons as shall have been furnished by the parties:

Any advice provided may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to without prior written consent of the providing party.
