COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 7th day of August, 2015 (this “Agreement”), by and between Terrapin Opportunity, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Investor”), and Globalstar, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex A hereto.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Company may issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall thereupon purchase from the Company, up to $75,000,000 worth of newly issued shares of the Company’s voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), subject, in all cases, to the Exchange Cap (except to the extent the Exchange Cap shall be inapplicable as expressly provided in Sections 2.12 and 2.13); and
WHEREAS, the offer and sale of the Shares hereunder have been registered by the Company in the Registration Statement, which became effective automatically upon filing with the Commission under the Securities Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
Article I 
PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK
Section 1.1    Purchase and Sale of Stock.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, during the Investment Period, the Company, in its discretion, may issue and sell to the Investor up to $75,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”) worth of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (subject in all cases to the Exchange Cap (except to the extent the Exchange Cap shall be inapplicable as expressly provided in Sections 2.12 and 2.13), the “Aggregate Limit”), by (i) the delivery to the Investor of not more than 24 separate Fixed Request Notices (unless the Investor and the Company mutually agree that a greater number of Fixed Request Notices may be delivered) as provided in Article II hereof and (ii) the exercise by the Investor of Optional Amounts, which the Company may in its discretion grant to the Investor and which may be exercised by the Investor, in whole or in part, as provided in Article II hereof.  The aggregate of all Fixed Request Amounts and Optional Amount Dollar Amounts shall not exceed the Aggregate Limit.
Section 1.2    Effective Date; Settlement Dates.  This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon the payment of the fees required to be paid on or prior to the Effective Date pursuant to Section 9.1, the delivery of counterpart signature pages of this Agreement executed by each of the parties hereto, and the delivery of all other documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered on the Effective Date, in each case as provided in Section 6.1 hereof, to 

1

the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date.  In consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants, and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Date and during the Investment Period (i) the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, the Shares in respect of each Fixed Request and (ii) the Investor may in its discretion elect to purchase Shares in respect of each Optional Amount.  The issuance and sale of Shares to the Investor pursuant to any Fixed Request or Optional Amount shall occur on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.9 (or on such Trading Day in accordance with Section 2.8, as applicable), provided in each case that all of the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Article VI theretofore shall have been fulfilled or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waived.
Section 1.3    Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company has or will have duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and covenants to continue to so reserve once reserved for issuance, free of all preemptive and other similar rights, at all times during the Investment Period, the requisite aggregate number of authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock to timely effect the issuance, sale and delivery in full to the Investor of all Shares to be issued in respect of all Fixed Requests and Optional Amounts under this Agreement, in any case prior to the issuance to the Investor of such Shares.
Section 1.4    Current Report; Prospectus Supplement.  As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, the Company shall file with the Commission (i) a report on Form 8-K relating to the transactions contemplated by, and describing the material terms and conditions of, this Agreement (the “Current Report”), and (ii) a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specifically relating to the transactions contemplated by, and describing the material terms and conditions of, this Agreement, containing information previously omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430B under the Securities Act, and disclosing all information relating to the transactions contemplated hereby required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, information required to be disclosed in the section captioned “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus (the “Initial Prospectus Supplement”).  The Current Report shall include a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit and shall be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  The Company shall provide the Investor a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of the Current Report and the Initial Prospectus Supplement prior to filing the Current Report and Initial Prospectus Supplement with the Commission, shall give due consideration to all such comments and shall not file the Current Report or Initial Prospectus Supplement to the extent the Investor reasonably objects to the form or content thereof (provided, however, that the failure of the Investor to make such objection shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability under this Agreement or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement).  If the transactions contemplated by any Fixed Request are material to the Company (individually or collectively with other prior Fixed Requests, the consummation of which have not previously been reported in any Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or 

2

in any report, statement or other document filed by the Company with the Commission under the Exchange Act), or if otherwise required under the Securities Act (or the interpretations of the Commission thereof), in each case as reasonably determined by the Company and the Investor, then, on the first Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Pricing Period with respect to such Fixed Request, the Company shall file with the Commission a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with respect to the applicable Fixed Request(s), disclosing the total number of Shares that are to be (and, if applicable, have been) issued and sold to the Investor pursuant to such Fixed Request(s), the total purchase price for the Shares subject to such Fixed Request(s), the applicable Discount Price(s) for such Shares and the net proceeds that are to be (and, if applicable, have been) received by the Company from the sale of such Shares.  To the extent not previously disclosed in a Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall disclose in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to all Fixed Request(s) consummated during the relevant fiscal quarter.
ARTICLE II     
FIXED REQUEST TERMS; OPTIONAL AMOUNT
Subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing) as follows:
Section 2.1    Fixed Request Notice.  The Company may, from time to time in its sole discretion, no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period, provide to the Investor a Fixed Request notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Fixed Request Notice”), which Fixed Request Notice shall become effective at 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period specified in the Fixed Request Notice; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Fixed Request Notice to the Investor later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, then the first Trading Day of such Pricing Period shall not be the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Fixed Request Notice, but rather shall be the next Trading Day (unless a subsequent Trading Day is therein specified).  The Company shall provide the Investor with at least one Trading Day’s prior notice of its intent to deliver a Fixed Request Notice to the Investor.  The Fixed Request Notice shall specify the Fixed Amount Requested, establish the Threshold Price for such Fixed Request, designate the first and last Trading Day of the Pricing Period and specify the Optional Amount, if any, that the Company elects to grant to the Investor during the Pricing Period and the applicable Threshold Price for such Optional Amount (the “Optional Amount Threshold Price”).  The Threshold Price and the Optional Amount Threshold Price established by the Company in a Fixed Request Notice may be the same or different, in the Company’s sole discretion.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor is obligated to accept each Fixed Request Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2.2    Fixed Requests.  From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver to the Investor a Fixed Request Notice for a specified Fixed Amount Requested, and the applicable discount price (the “Discount Price”) shall be 

3

determined, in accordance with the price and share amount parameters as set forth below or such other parameters mutually agreed upon by the Investor and the Company, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor shall purchase from the Company the Shares subject to such Fixed Request Notice at the Discount Price; provided, however, that (i) if an ex-dividend date is established by the Trading Market in respect of the Common Stock on or between the first Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period and the applicable Settlement Date, the Discount Price shall be reduced by the per share dividend amount and (ii) unless the parties otherwise mutually agree, the Company may not deliver any single Fixed Request Notice for a Fixed Amount Requested in excess of the amount in the applicable Fixed Amount Requested column below:

	Not to exceed $2,000,000
	96.0% of the VWAP

Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Investor and the Company, at no time shall the Investor be required to purchase more than $40,000,000 worth of Common Stock in respect of any Pricing Period (not including Common Stock subject to any Optional Amount).  The date on which the Company delivers any Fixed Request Notice in accordance with this Section 2.2 hereinafter shall be referred to as a “Fixed Request Exercise Date”.
Section 2.3    Share Calculation.  With respect to each Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price, the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investor pursuant to a Fixed Request shall equal the quotient (calculated for each Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price) determined pursuant to the following equation (rounded to the nearest whole Share):
N = (A x B)/C, where:

4

N = the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investor in respect of a Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price,
A = 0.10 (the “Multiplier”), provided, however, that if the Company and the Investor mutually agree prior to the commencement of a Pricing Period that the number of consecutive Trading Days constituting a Pricing Period shall be less than 10, then the Multiplier correspondingly shall be increased to equal the decimal equivalent (in 10-millionths) of a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which equals the number of Trading Days in the reduced Pricing Period (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that this proviso shall not apply to any unilateral determination by the Company to reduce a Pricing Period, but rather, in the event of such unilateral determination, Section 2.8 hereof shall apply),
B = the total Fixed Amount Requested, and
C = the applicable Discount Price for such Trading Day.
Section 2.4    Limitation of Fixed Requests.  The Company shall not make more than one Fixed Request in each Pricing Period.  Not less than five Trading Days shall elapse between the end of one Pricing Period and the commencement of any other Pricing Period during the Investment Period.  Subject to Section 1.1, there shall be permitted a maximum of 24 Fixed Requests during the Investment Period.  Each Fixed Request automatically shall expire immediately following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period.
Section 2.5    Reduction of Commitment.  On the Settlement Date with respect to a Pricing Period, the Investor’s Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically (and without the need for any amendment to this Agreement) shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total amount of the Fixed Request Amount and the Optional Amount Dollar Amount, if any, for such Pricing Period paid to the Company at such Settlement Date.
Section 2.6    Below Threshold Price.  If the VWAP on any Trading Day in a Pricing Period is lower than the Threshold Price, then for each such Trading Day the Fixed Amount Requested shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the product of (x) the Multiplier and (y) the total Fixed Amount Requested, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below.  If trading in the Common Stock on the NYSE MKT (or any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted) is suspended for any reason for more than three hours on any Trading Day, the Investor may at its option deem the price of the Common Stock to be lower than the Threshold Price for such Trading Day and, for each such Trading Day, the total amount of the Fixed Amount Requested shall be reduced as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below.  For each Trading Day during a Pricing Period on which the VWAP is lower (or is deemed to be lower as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) than the Threshold Price, the Investor may in its sole discretion elect to purchase such U.S. dollar amount of Shares equal to the amount by which the Fixed Amount Requested has been reduced in accordance with this Section 2.6, at the Threshold Price multiplied by the applicable percentage set forth in the column entitled “Discount Price” for the row corresponding to the applicable Threshold Price in Section 2.2.  The Investor shall inform the 

5

Company via facsimile transmission not later than 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period as to the number of Shares, if any, the Investor elects to purchase as provided in this Section 2.6.
Section 2.7    Settlement.  The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares in respect of each Fixed Request shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period, or on such earlier date as the parties may mutually agree (the “Settlement Date”).  On each Settlement Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares purchased by the Investor by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale, against simultaneous payment therefor to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that if the Shares are received by the Investor later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), payment therefor shall be made with next day funds.  As set forth in Section 9.1(ii), a failure by the Company to deliver such Shares shall result in the payment of partial damages by the Company to the Investor.
Section 2.8    Reduction of Pricing Period.  If during a Pricing Period the Company elects to reduce the number of Trading Days in such Pricing Period (and thereby amend its previously delivered Fixed Request Notice), the Company shall so notify the Investor before 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day during a Pricing Period (a “Reduction Notice”) and the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day immediately preceding the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Reduction Notice; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Reduction Notice later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day during a Pricing Period, then the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period instead shall be the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Reduction Notice.
Upon receipt of a Reduction Notice, the Investor (i) shall purchase the Shares in respect of each Trading Day in such reduced Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof; (ii) may elect to purchase the Shares in respect of any Trading Day in such reduced Pricing Period for which the VWAP is (or is deemed to be) lower than the Threshold Price in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof; and (iii) may elect to exercise all or any portion of an Optional Amount on any Trading Day during such reduced Pricing Period in accordance with Sections 2.10 and 2.11 hereof.
In addition, upon receipt of a Reduction Notice, the Investor may elect to purchase, by providing written notice to the Company not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day following the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period, such U.S. dollar amount of additional Shares equal to the product determined pursuant to the following equation:
D = (A/B) x (B – C), where:
D = the U.S. dollar amount of additional Shares to be purchased,
A = the Fixed Amount Requested,

6

B = 10 or, for purposes of this Section 2.8, such lesser number of Trading Days as the parties may mutually agree to, and
C = the number of Trading Days in the reduced Pricing Period, 
at a per Share price equal to the average per share price to be paid for Shares to be purchased during such reduced Pricing Period pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) (as applicable) of the immediately preceding paragraph.
The Investor may also elect to exercise any portion of the applicable Optional Amount which was unexercised during the reduced Pricing Period by issuing an Optional Amount Notice to the Company not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period.  The number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of such Optional Amount shall be calculated pursuant to the equation set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, except that “C” shall equal the greater of (i) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period or (ii) the Optional Amount Threshold Price.
The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares to be purchased and sold in accordance with this Section 2.8 shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which the Investor receives a Reduction Notice.
Section 2.9    Optional Amount.  With respect to any Pricing Period, the Company may in its sole discretion grant to the Investor the right to exercise, from time to time during the Pricing Period (but not more than once on any Trading Day), all or any portion of an Optional Amount.  The maximum Optional Amount Dollar Amount and the Optional Amount Threshold Price shall be set forth in the Fixed Request Notice.  If an ex-dividend date is established by the Trading Market in respect of the Common Stock on or between the first Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period and the applicable Settlement Date, the applicable exercise price in respect of the Optional Amount shall be reduced by the per share dividend amount.  Each daily Optional Amount exercise shall be aggregated during the Pricing Period and settled on the next Settlement Date.  The Optional Amount Threshold Price designated by the Company in its Fixed Request Notice shall apply to each Optional Amount exercised during the applicable Pricing Period.
Section 2.10    Calculation of Optional Amount Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the exercise of an Optional Amount shall be the quotient determined pursuant to the following equation (rounded to the nearest whole Share):
O = A/(B x C), where:
O = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such Optional Amount exercise,
A = the Optional Amount Dollar Amount with respect to which the Investor has delivered an Optional Amount Notice,

7

B = the applicable percentage set forth in the column entitled “Discount Price” for the row corresponding to the applicable Threshold Price in Section 2.2 (with the Optional Amount Threshold Price serving as the Threshold Price for such purposes), and
C = the greater of (i) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the day the Investor delivers the Optional Amount Notice or (ii) the Optional Amount Threshold Price.
Section 2.11    Exercise of Optional Amount.  If granted by the Company to the Investor with respect to a Pricing Period, all or any portion of the Optional Amount may be exercised by the Investor on any Trading Day during the Pricing Period, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.9.  The applicable exercise price in respect of such Optional Amount shall be equal to the quotient determined by multiplying B and C in Section 2.10. As a condition to each exercise of an Optional Amount pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Investor shall issue an Optional Amount Notice to the Company no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of such Optional Amount exercise.  If the Investor does not exercise an Optional Amount in full by 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period, such unexercised portion of the Investor’s Optional Amount with respect to that Pricing Period automatically shall lapse and terminate.
Section 2.12    Exchange Cap.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, subject to Section 2.13 below, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement would exceed 177,944,443 shares of Common Stock (which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of the NYSE MKT or any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted after the date of this Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless and until the Company elects to solicit stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the stockholders of the Company have in fact approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE MKT, any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted after the date of this Agreement, and the Charter and Bylaws of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to request its stockholders to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement no later than the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders; provided, that if stockholder approval is not obtained in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE MKT or any other Trading Market with comparable stockholder approval requirements on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted after the date of this Agreement, the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all times during the term of this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2.13 below).  If the Company issues a Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount that otherwise would permit the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases by the Investor under this Agreement to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount shall be void ab initio to the 

8

extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount together with the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of all other Common Stock purchased by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement, or issued as partial damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii), would exceed the Aggregate Limit. The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has effected any transaction or series of transactions, (ii) is a party to any pending transaction or series of transactions or (iii) shall enter into any contract, agreement, agreement-in-principle, arrangement or understanding with respect to, or shall effect, any Other Financing which, in any of such cases, may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of determining whether approval of the Company’s stockholders is required under applicable rules of the NYSE MKT or any other Trading Market with comparable stockholder approval requirements on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted; provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to take any action referred to in clause (iii) of this sentence if (a) the Company has timely provided the Investor with an Integration Notice as provided in Section 5.6(ii) hereof and (b) unless the Investor has previously terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, the Company obtains any requisite stockholder approval which may be required for the Company to consummate such Other Financing described in such Integration Notice.
Section 2.13    Trading Market Regulation.  Notwithstanding Section 2.12 above and subject to the prior approval of the NYSE MKT or any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted after the date of this Agreement (to the extent required), the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, solely to the extent that the issuances and sales of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement are deemed to be at a price equal to or in excess of the greater of book or market value of the Common Stock as calculated in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE MKT or any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted after the date of this Agreement (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all other times during the term of this Agreement, unless the stockholder approval referred to in Section 2.12 is obtained).
Section 2.14    Blackout Periods.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not deliver any Fixed Request Notice or grant any Optional Amount or otherwise offer or sell Shares to the Investor, and the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or may be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information, or (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.14, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.  If the Company wishes to deliver any Fixed Request Notice or grant any Optional Amount or otherwise offer, sell or deliver Shares to the Investor at any time during 

9

the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall, as conditions thereto, (1) prepare and deliver to the Investor (with a copy to counsel to the Investor) a report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings or other projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and its counsel, (2) provide the Investor with the compliance certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, dated the date of such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount grant, as applicable, which certificate shall be deemed to remain in effect during the applicable Pricing Period through and including the applicable Settlement Date, and the “bring down” opinions in the form mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, dated the date of such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount grant, as applicable, (3) afford the Investor the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof and (4) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission (so that it is deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act) on or prior to the date of such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount grant, as applicable.  The provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 2.14 shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which all of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be.  For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that the delivery of the compliance certificate and the “bring down” opinions pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the delivery of the compliance certificate called for by Section 6.3(v) and the “bring down” opinions called for by Section 6.3(xii) on the applicable Settlement Date, which Sections shall have independent application.

(i)    The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Registration Statement, including a base prospectus relating to the Shares.  The Registration Statement became effective automatically upon filing with the Commission under Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act on July 31, 2015. As of the date hereof, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission or is continuing in effect under the Securities Act and no proceedings therefor are pending before or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened by the Commission.  No order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus has been issued by the Commission.
(ii)    As of the Effective Date, the Company satisfies all of the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act for the offering and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement (without reliance on General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3).  The Company is not, and has not previously been at any time, a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act).
(iii)    At the time of the initial filing of the Registration Statement, at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), at the time the Company or any Person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act and at the Effective Date, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.  The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, and the Shares, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement.”  The Commission has not notified the Company of any objection to the use of the form of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act.  The Company has paid or will pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Total Commitment worth of Shares within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of the Initial Prospectus Supplement).  The Registration Statement complied in all material respects on the date on which it became effective, and will comply in all material respects at each deemed effective date with respect to the Investor pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act, with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) did not on the date it became effective, and shall not at each deemed effective date with respect to the Investor pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that this representation and warranty does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.  The Registration Statement, as 

20

of the Effective Date, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act.  The Base Prospectus complied in all material respects on its date and on the Effective Date, and will comply in all material respects on each applicable Fixed Request Exercise Date and, when taken together with the applicable Prospectus Supplement and any applicable Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, on each applicable Settlement Date, with the requirements of the Securities Act and did not on its date and on the Effective Date and shall not on each applicable Fixed Request Exercise Date and, when taken together with the applicable Prospectus Supplement and any applicable Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, on each applicable Settlement Date contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation and warranty does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Base Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
(iv)    The offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement qualifies for the exemption from the filing requirements of FINRA Rule 5110 afforded by FINRA Rule 5110(b)(7)(C)(i).
(v)    Each Prospectus Supplement required to be filed pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof, when taken together with the Base Prospectus and any applicable Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, on its date and on the applicable Settlement Date, shall comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and shall not on its date and on the applicable Settlement Date contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, except that this representation and warranty does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Prospectus Supplement made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
(vi)    At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) relating to the Shares, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act).  Each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (a) shall conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act on the date of its first use, (b) when considered together with the Prospectus on each applicable Fixed Request Exercise Date and on each applicable Settlement Date, shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and (c) shall not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any Prospectus Supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.  The immediately preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the 

21

Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
(vii)    Prior to the Effective Date, the Company has not distributed any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares.  From and after the Effective Date and prior to the completion of the distribution of the Shares, the Company shall not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares, other than the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus as supplemented by any Prospectus Supplement or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.
Section 4.21    Employees.  Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has any collective bargaining arrangements or agreements covering any of its employees.  No officer, consultant or key employee of the Company or any Subsidiary whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, has terminated or, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any present intention of terminating his or her employment or engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 4.22    Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds from the sale of the Shares shall be used by the Company and its Subsidiaries as set forth in the Base Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement filed pursuant to Section 1.4.

The Company is not, and as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the application of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares as set forth in the Base Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement shall not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Section 4.24    ERISA.  No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect.  No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA has occurred with respect to any Plan which has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder shall not result in any of the foregoing events.  Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Plan; and each Plan for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualifications.  As used in this Section 4.22, the term “Plan” shall mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is under common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.

22

The Company (i) has filed all federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or has duly requested extensions thereof, except for those the failure of which to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, except to the extent that any such taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, except for such taxes the failure of which to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s Knowledge, proposed against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the Company has no Knowledge of any valid basis for any such claim.  The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Section 4.26    Insurance.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged.

Section 4.28    Listing and Maintenance Requirements.  The Company’s 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 Effective Date, 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 in any material respect with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market.  As of the Effective Date, the Company is in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock may be issued and transferred electronically to third parties via DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system.

None of the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization 

23

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all necessary action, undertake all proceedings and obtain all registrations, permits, consents and approvals in order to (i) qualify the Shares for offering and sale to the Investor, or to obtain an exemption for the Shares to be offered and sold to the Investor and (ii) qualify the Shares for offer and resale by the Investor, or to obtain an exemption for the Shares to be offered and resold by the Investor, in each case under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Investor reasonably may designate, and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Shares have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement).

25

reasonable best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock and the listing of the Shares purchased by the Investor hereunder on the Trading Market, and shall comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws, listed securities maintenance standards and other rules and regulations of FINRA and the Trading Market.

Without limiting the foregoing: (A) neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors (1) will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to cause or to result in, or which would in the future reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company, in each case to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares, or (2) sell, bid for, purchase, or pay any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Shares, other than, in the case of clause (2), compensation paid to FWG in connection with the settlement of each Fixed Request pursuant to this Agreement; and (B) neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or any other Persons acting on their behalf shall, in connection with the operation of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses, (a) use any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, payments, gifts or entertainment or to make any unlawful expenditures relating to political activity to government officials, candidates or members of political parties or organizations, (b) pay, accept or receive any unlawful contributions, payments, expenditures or gifts, or (c) violate or operate in noncompliance with any export restrictions, anti-boycott regulations, embargo regulations or other applicable domestic or foreign laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the FCPA and the Money Laundering Laws.
(ii)    The Investor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and its investment in the Shares, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M thereunder, and any applicable securities laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Section 5.4    Due Diligence.  Subject to the requirements of Section 5.12 of this Agreement, from time to time from and after the period beginning with the third Trading Day 

26

immediately preceding each Fixed Request Exercise Date through and including the applicable Settlement Date, the Company shall make available for inspection and review by the Investor, customary documentation allowing the Investor and/or its appointed counsel or advisors to conduct due diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as expressly provided in Section 2.14, in no event shall the Investor’s due diligence review be a condition to any of the obligations of any of the parties hereto, including the obligations hereunder of the Company to issue and sell the Shares to the Investor or the obligations hereunder of the Investor to accept a Fixed Request Notice or Option Amount grant to acquire and pay for the Shares, or a basis for terminating this Agreement.
Section 5.5    Limitations on Holdings and Issuances.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not issue and the Investor shall not purchase any shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor of more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next Trading Day) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof.  The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of this beneficial ownership limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. During the term of this Agreement, the Investor shall not acquire, other than in transactions with the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, beneficial ownership of more than 1.0% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and shall not participate in or enter into any arrangement, agreement or other transaction that would result in the formation of, or the addition of the Investor to, a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Common Stock; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Investor from acquiring (in an open market transaction or otherwise) beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock to deliver upon the settlement of a sale by the Investor of Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company on the Settlement Date of a Fixed Request or Optional Amount, but which Shares the Company failed to deliver to the Investor on such Settlement Date.
Section 5.6    Other Agreements and Other Financings.
(i)    The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company or any Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver the Shares to the Investor in respect of a previously provided Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount on the applicable Settlement Date.

27

in each case the principal purpose of which is to implement, effect or consummate, at any time during the period beginning on the first Trading Day of any Pricing Period and ending on the second Trading Day next following the applicable Settlement Date (the “Reference Period”), an Other Financing that does not constitute an Acceptable Financing, the Company shall provide prompt notice thereof (an “Other Financing Notice”) to the Investor; provided, however, that such Other Financing Notice must be received by the Investor not later than the earlier of (a) 48 hours after the Company’s execution of any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction relating to such Other Financing (or, with respect to any existing agreement, plan or arrangement, 48 hours after the Company has determined to utilize any such existing agreement, plan or arrangement to implement, effect or consummate such Other Financing) and (b) the second Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Settlement Date with respect to the applicable Fixed Request Notice; provided, further, that the Company shall notify the Investor within 24 hours (an “Integration Notice”) if it enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party, the principal purpose of which is to obtain at any time during the Investment Period an Other Financing that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of determining whether approval of the Company’s stockholders is required under any bylaw, listed securities maintenance standards or other rules of the Trading Market and, if required under applicable law, including, without limitation, Regulation FD promulgated by the Commission, or under the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company shall publicly disclose such information in accordance with Regulation FD and the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

With respect to any Reference Period for which the Company is required to provide an Other Financing Notice pursuant to the first sentence (including the provisos thereto) of this Section 5.6(ii), the Investor shall have the option to purchase the Shares subject to the Fixed Request at (i) the price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the third party’s per share purchase price in connection with the Other Financing, net of such third party’s discounts, Warrant Value and fees.  An “Other Financing” shall mean (w) the issuance for cash of Common Stock for a purchase price less than, or the issuance for cash of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at an exercise or conversion price (as the case may be) less than, the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to any “equity line” or other financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided for under this Agreement, with the exception of the equity backstop financing arrangement that has been or will be entered into between, among others, the Company and Thermo Funding Company, LLC (“Thermo”) or any of Thermo’s affiliates (the “Equity Backstop”), or pursuant to any other transaction in which the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common Stock is determined using a floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the then Current Market Price (any such transaction, a “Similar Financing”)), in each case, after all fees, discounts, Warrant Value and commissions associated with the transaction (a “Below Market Offering”); (x) an “at-the-market” offering for cash of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act (an “ATM”); (y) the implementation by the Company of any mechanism in respect of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for the reset of the purchase price of the Common Stock to below the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock

The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investor the substance or specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, but rather, shall only be required to disclose that the event has occurred.  The Company shall not issue any Fixed Request during the continuation of any of the foregoing events.  If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time. 
Section 5.8    Amendments to the Registration Statement; Prospectus Supplements; Free Writing Prospectuses.
(i)    Except as provided in this Agreement and other than periodic and current reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall not file with the Commission any amendment to the Registration Statement that relates to the Investor, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or file with the Commission any Prospectus Supplement that relates to the Investor, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to which (a) the Investor shall not previously have been advised, (b) the Company shall not have given the Investor and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft thereof prior to filing with the Commission, (c) the Company shall not have given due consideration to any comments thereon received from the Investor or its counsel prior to filing with the Commission, or (d) the Investor shall reasonably object after being so advised or after having completed its review (provided, however, that the failure of the Investor to make such objection shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability under this Agreement or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement), unless the Company reasonably has determined that it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or make any supplement to the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, in which case the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) so inform the Investor, the Investor shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment 

30

upon any disclosure relating to the Investor and the Company shall expeditiously furnish to the Investor an electronic copy thereof (it being acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of Section 1.4, and not this Section 5.8, shall apply with respect to the Initial Prospectus Supplement).  In addition, for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in connection with any acquisition or sale of Shares by the Investor, the Company shall not file any (1) Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Shares, without delivering or making available a copy of such Prospectus Supplement (in the form filed with the Commission), together with the Base Prospectus, to the Investor promptly after the filing thereof with the Commission, or (2) any amendment to the Registration Statement, without promptly delivering or making available a copy of such amendment to the Registration Statement (in the form filed with the Commission) to the Investor promptly after the filing thereof with the Commission, in each case via e-mail in “.pdf” format to an e-mail account designated by the Investor.
(ii)    The Company has not made, and agrees that unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Investor it will not make, an offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company or the Investor with the Commission or retained by the Company or the Investor under Rule 433 under the Securities Act.  The Investor has not made, and agrees that unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company it will not make, an offer relating to the Shares that would constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Securities Act.  Any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Investor or the Company is referred to in this Agreement as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”  The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.
Section 5.9    Prospectus Delivery.  For so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in connection with any acquisition or sale of Shares by the Investor, the Company will furnish to the Investor and its counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies of the Base Prospectus and all Prospectus Supplements that are filed with the Commission, in each case, in the form filed with the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable via e-mail in “.pdf” format to an e-mail account designated by the Investor and, at the Investor’s request, will also furnish copies of the Base Prospectus and all Prospectus Supplements, in each case, in the form filed with the Commission, to each exchange or market on which sales of the Shares may be made and to each Broker-Dealer or other Person designated by the Investor. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any Prospectus Supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to 

31

be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares.  If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company and its counsel is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement or amend the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 5.8 above, file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus (or supplement to the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus) and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to the Investor a copy thereof in accordance with this Section 5.9.  The Investor shall comply with any Prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act applicable to it.

(i)    Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the date hereof through and including the 90th day next following the termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (x) engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (y) grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from:  (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) any shares of Common Stock (including the Shares); or (2) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the number of Shares that such Restricted Person is or may be obligated to purchase under a pending Fixed Request Notice and/or (y) the number of Shares that such Restricted Person may purchase under a pending Optional Amount, but, in each case, has not yet taken possession of so long as such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such Fixed Request Notice and/or Optional Amount to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer; provided, however, such Restricted Person (or the applicable Broker-Dealer, as applicable) shall not be required to so deliver any such Shares subject to such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount, as the case may be, if (a) such Fixed Request or Optional Amount, as the case may be, is terminated by mutual agreement of the Company and the Investor and, as a result of such termination, no such Shares are delivered to the Investor under this Agreement or (b) the Company otherwise fails to deliver such Shares to the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date upon the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

32

(ii)    In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Shares (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Registration Period, the Company shall prepare and, subject to Section 5.8 above, file with the Commission, at the Company’s expense, such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) to the Registration Statement and such Prospectus Supplements pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in each case, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, and to keep the Registration Statement and the Prospectus current and available for issuances and sales of Shares by the Company to the Investor, and for the resale of Shares by the Investor, at all times during the Registration Period.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, immediately prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Date”), any of the Shares that have been or may be issued pursuant to this Agreement have not been issued by the Company or resold by the Investor and the Registration Period has not expired, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Date, file a new Registration Statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Investor and its counsel, and, if such Registration Statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Date. The Company will take all other reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit the public offer and sale of the Shares (and the resale thereof by the Investor) to continue as contemplated in the expired Registration Statement relating to the Shares. From and after the effective date thereof, references herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new Registration Statement.
Section 5.12    Non-Public Information.  Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall disclose any material non-public information about the Company to the Investor, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD.  In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Investor), in addition to any other remedy provided in this Agreement, the Investor shall have the right (after giving at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Company of the need to make such disclosure and the Company having failed to do so) to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public information without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents.  The Investor shall not have any liability to the 

33

Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.
Section 5.13    Broker/Dealer.  The Investor shall use one or more broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of the Shares that it may acquire or purchase from the Company pursuant to this Agreement which (or whom) shall be unaffiliated with the Investor and FWG and not then currently engaged or used by the Company (collectively, the “Broker-Dealer”).

The Investor shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer, which shall not exceed customary brokerage fees and commissions.

The terms “earnings statement” and “make generally available to its security holders” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 158 under the Securities Act.
Section 5.15    Disclosure Schedule.
(i)    From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company shall be permitted to update the Disclosure Schedule as may be required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.3(i).  For purposes of this Section 5.15, any disclosure made in a schedule to the Compliance Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall be deemed to be an update of the Disclosure Schedule.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall cure any breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and shall not affect any of the Investor’s rights or remedies with respect thereto.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosure contained in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is readily apparent on its face.  The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for any breach under this Agreement or to impair the rights of the Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII     
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.1    General Indemnity.
(xiv)    Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers, partners, employees and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees) to which the Investor and each such other Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon (a) any violation of United States federal or state securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Trading Market in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors or employees, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in 

40

the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) of the Company, which “issuer information” is required to be, or is, filed with the Commission or otherwise contained in any Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, a 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; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall not be liable under this Section 8.1(i) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from which no further appeals are available) that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulted directly and solely from any such acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Investor or such Person through its bad faith or willful misconduct, (B) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in the Current Report or any Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and (C) with respect to the Prospectus, the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of the Investor or any such Person from whom the Person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased Common Stock, if copies of all Prospectus Supplements required to be filed pursuant to Section 1.4, together with the Base Prospectus, were timely delivered or made available to the Investor pursuant hereto and a copy of the Base Prospectus, together with a Prospectus Supplement (as applicable), was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Investor or any such Person to such Person, if required by law to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Common Stock to such Person, and if delivery of the Base Prospectus, together with a Prospectus Supplement (as applicable), would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.
The Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such controlling Person promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor or such indemnified Persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification.
(xv)    Indemnification by the Investor.  The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys fees) to which the Company and each such other Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Current Report, the 

41

Registration Statement or any Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a 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, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Investor to the Company expressly for inclusion in the Current Report, the Registration Statement or such Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto.
The Investor shall reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling Person promptly upon demand for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such indemnified Persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification.
Section 8.2    Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after a Person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Person intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the Person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice.  The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it.  After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties.  Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought.  No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested (by written notice provided in accordance with Section 9.4) an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated hereby effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received written notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of 

42

such settlement.  No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.1 as to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and by the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The remedies provided for in Section 8.1 and this Section 8.2 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified Person at law or in equity.
ARTICLE IX     
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1    Fees and Expenses.
(iii)    Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall pay, on or prior to the Effective Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor’s counsel, promptly following the receipt of an invoice therefor, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Investor, up to $35,000, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, legal due diligence of the Company and review of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Current Report, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and all other related transaction documentation.

Settlement Date and such failure continues for 10 Trading Days, the Company shall pay the Investor, in cash (or, at the option of the Investor, in shares of Common Stock which have not been registered under the Securities Act valued at the applicable Discount Price of the Shares failed to be delivered; provided that the issuance thereof by the Company would not violate the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws), as partial damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2.0% of the payment required to be paid by the Investor on such Settlement Date (i.e., the sum of the Fixed Amount Requested and the Optional Amount Dollar Amount) for the initial 30 days following such Settlement Date until the Shares (which have been approved for listing or quotation on the Trading Market, if such an approval is required for the listing or quotation thereof on the Trading Market) have been delivered, and an additional 2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Shares (which have been approved for listing or quotation on the Trading Market, if such an approval is required for the listing or quotation thereof on the Trading Market) have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days, subject in all cases to the Exchange Cap (except to the extent the Exchange Cap shall be inapplicable as expressly provided in Sections 2.12 and 2.13).  Nothing in this Section 9.1(ii) shall be deemed to release the Company from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the Investor to compel specific performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 9.2    Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial.
(iii)    The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.
(iv)    Each of the Company and the Investor (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the City and State of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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 in this Section 9.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(v)    EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR 

44

INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO.  EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.2.
Section 9.3    Entire Agreement; Amendment.

Section 9.5    Waivers.  No waiver by either party 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 other provisions, 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 accruing to it thereafter.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.
Section 9.6    Headings; Construction.  The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  Unless the 

46

context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof.  The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.  The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.  In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful currency of the United States of America.
Section 9.7    Successors and Assigns.  The Investor may not assign this Agreement to any Person without the prior consent of the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.  The assignment by a party to this Agreement of any rights hereunder shall not affect the obligations of such party under this Agreement.
Section 9.8    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state  that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.9    Survival.   The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article VII (Termination), Article VIII (Indemnification), Section 9.1 (Fees and Expenses), Section 9.2 (Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 9.4 (Notices), Section 9.8 (Governing Law), Section 9.11 (Publicity), Section 9.12 (Severability) and this Section 9.9 (Survival) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination, (ii) if the Investor owns any Shares at the time of such termination, the covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor, as applicable, contained in Section 5.1 (Securities Compliance), Section 5.3 (Compliance with Laws), Section 5.7 (Stop Orders), Section 5.8 (Amendments to the Registration Statement; Prospectus Supplements; Free Writing Prospectuses), Section 5.9 (Prospectus Delivery), Section 5.11 (Effective Registration Statement), Section 5.12 (Non-Public Information) and Section 5.13 (Broker/Dealer) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of six months following such termination, (iii) the covenants and agreements of the Investor contained in Section 5.10 (Selling Restrictions) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of 90 days following such termination, and (iv) if the Investor owns any Shares at the time of such termination, the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in Section 5.2 (Registration and Listing) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of 30 days following such termination.

47

Section 9.10    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original and binding instrument and shall become effective when all counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event any signature is delivered by facsimile, digital or electronic transmission, such transmission shall constitute delivery of the manually executed original and the party using such means of delivery shall thereafter cause four additional executed signature pages to be physically delivered to the other parties within five days of the execution and delivery hereof.  Failure to provide or delay in the delivery of such additional executed signature pages shall not adversely affect the efficacy of the original delivery.
Section 9.11    Publicity.

FORM OF OPINION OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO 
SECTION 6.1(i) OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
DATED AS OF AUGUST 7, 2015 BETWEEN GLOBALSTAR, INC. 
AND TERRAPIN OPPORTUNITY, L.P.
[Company Counsel’s Letterhead]
1.    The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  Based on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the State of Louisiana.
2.    The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms thereof.  The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, except for any consent or authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof in connection with the delivery of a Fixed Request Notice or grant of an Optional Amount to the Investor, no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required.
3.    The Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Investor) the Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
4.    The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) do not and will not:  (i) violate the Company’s [Governing Documents] [TO BE DEFINED]; (ii) violate the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any federal or Louisiana state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company; or (iii) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company, in each case, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any federal or Louisiana state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company that have not been obtained or made.
5.    Assuming that (i) the Company was a “well known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) as of the date of the filing of the Registration Statement and (ii) the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration form, the Registration 

Statement became effective upon filing with the Commission on July 31, 2015 pursuant to Rule 462 under the Securities Act. With your consent, based solely on a telephonic confirmation by a member of the Staff of the Commission on August [__], 2015, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission. Any required filing of the Prospectus and a Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)) under the Securities Act.

6.    The Registration Statement, as of the date it became effective (and at each deemed effective date with respect to the Investor pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2)), and the Prospectus and each Prospectus Supplement, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Act; it being understood, however, that we express no opinion with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included in or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement.

Commission Documents incorporated by reference therein, at such time and as of the date hereof, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, together with the Commission Documents incorporated by reference therein, at that date and as of the date hereof, and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, on the date of its first use, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; it being understood that we express no belief with respect to the financial statements, the notes and schedules thereto, other financial data, or exhibits included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

SECTION 6.1(i) OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
DATED AS OF AUGUST 7, 2015 BETWEEN GLOBALSTAR, INC. 
AND TERRAPIN OPPORTUNITY, L.P.
[Company Letterhead]
1.    The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.    The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) do not and will not:  (i) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party, (ii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) to my knowledge, result in a violation of any federal or state order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

	Re:  
	Engagement of Financial West Group 

as Placement Agent for Globalstar, Inc.

Ladies/Gentlemen:

This letter (this "Engagement Letter") will confirm our agreement with Globalstar, Inc. (the “Company”) with respect to the engagement of Financial West Group, member FINRA/SIPC (“FWG”) as placement agent for the Company in connection with the placement of the Company's common stock to Terrapin Opportunity, L.P. (collectively with its affiliated funds, the "Investor"), as more fully described herein. FWG hereby agrees, on a best efforts basis and subject to the satisfactory completion of its continuing due diligence, to place up to Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) of the Company's authorized but unissued voting common stock (the "Common Stock" or "Common Shares") with the Investor, as more particularly set forth below and subject to the terms and conditions of this Engagement Letter.

The Common Stock will be offered and sold on such terms as the Company and the Investor may agree upon pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated August                 7, 2015, by and between the Company and the Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the offering and sale of such Common Stock shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-205968) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and deemed effective on July 31, 2015 (as amended or supplemented including through incorporation by reference, the "Registration Statement").  FWG will use no offering materials other than the Company's publicly filed reports and the Registration Statement, including the prospectus contained therein or any prospectus supplement thereto, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein, as the Company will have approved prior to their use. The parties hereto agree that the Common Shares will be offered and sold by the Company in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. The placement of the Common Stock by FWG to the Investor as contemplated hereby may be referred to herein as the "Offering".

 

Globalstar, Inc.                        Page 2    

The term of FWG's engagement (the "Engagement Period") as placement agent for the offer and sale of the Common Stock to the Investor will commence on the date of actual receipt by FWG of an executed copy of this Engagement Letter from the Company and, unless extended pursuant to the further written agreement of the parties, will expire upon the earliest of (i) September 1, 2017, (ii) the date that all the shares of Common Stock under the Registration Statement have been issued and sold, (iii) the date that the Investor has purchased an aggregate of $75,000,000 of shares of Common Stock, or that number of shares which is one share less than twenty percent (20.0%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (or such greater number of Common Shares permitted under the Purchase Agreement) as of the effective date of the Purchase Agreement, whichever occurs first, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the date that the Offering or the Purchase Agreement is terminated by the Company or the Investor or (v) if the Company so elects, the date that FWG breaches any representation or covenant in this Engagement Letter. To the extent the Company so requests, FWG will assist with each settlement of the purchase of the Common Stock pursuant to the Offering (each, a “Closing”).  There may be multiple Closings of the Offering during the Engagement Period.

This Engagement Letter is for the confidential use of the Company and FWG only, and may not be disclosed by the Company or by FWG (in whole or in part) for any reason to any person other than their respective Board of Directors, executive management or other employees with a need to know, or its attorneys, accountants, investment banks, financial advisors, the Investor or other persons or entities that have a reasonable business reason to review this Engagement Letter, and then only on a confidential basis in connection with the proposed Offering, except where disclosure is required by applicable law, stock exchange or Nasdaq rule or regulation, or is previously agreed to in writing by the Company and FWG. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) the arrangement contemplated hereby will be disclosed by the Company in the Registration Statement and this Engagement Letter may be filed with the SEC and (ii) the arrangement contemplated hereby may also be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The terms of this Engagement Letter will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and any disputes arising hereunder shall be exclusively and finally settled by an arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in Los Angeles, California.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties.  The determination, finding, judgment, and/or award made by the arbitrator shall be made in writing, shall state the basis for such determination, shall be signed by the arbitrator and shall be final and binding on all parties, and there shall be no appeal or reexamination thereof, except for fraud, perjury, evident partiality, or misconduct by an arbitrator prejudicing the rights of any party and to correct manifest clerical errors.  The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator, its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  

The Company hereby agrees and represents that: (i) it will comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations with respect to the Offering, and (ii) FWG may, at its option and expense (and only after the first public disclosure or announcement of the Offering by the Company) place announcements and advertisements or otherwise publicize FWG’s role in facilitating the Offering (which may include the reproduction of the Company’s logo), stating that FWG acted as placement agent in connection with such 

Globalstar, Inc.                        Page 3    

transaction; provided, however, that FWG shall first submit a copy of any such announcement or advertisement to the Company for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

FWG hereby agrees and represents that: (i) FWG is a broker/dealer licensed by FINRA in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which FWG intends to use its best efforts to place the Offering, and payment of the placement fee contemplated under this agreement will not jeopardize the Company's compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws or regulations; (ii) FWG will not make any representations to the Investor about the Company other than information included in the Company's public filings or otherwise conveyed to FWG by the Company in writing; (iii) FWG will not do any advertising or make any general solicitation on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering; (iv) FWG will comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations with respect to the Offering; (v) FWG is not affiliated with the Investor or the Company; and (vi) FWG agrees to keep confidential any nonpublic material information about the Company conveyed to FWG by the Company.  In further consideration of FWG's placement of the Common Shares, the Company and FWG agree to be fully bound by all of the indemnification provisions set forth on Attachment A, a copy of which is attached hereto and is fully incorporated herein by this reference.

[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Globalstar, Inc.                        Page 4

This Engagement Letter and all rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party.  This Engagement Letter may be executed in counterparts and/or via facsimile transmission or the exchange of PDF copies.

Attachment A to Engagement Letter

Company Indemnification Provisions

Globalstar, Inc. (the "Company") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Financial West Group ("FWG"), and any of its directors, officers, employees, consultants or agents  (collectively, the "Indemnitees" and each individually an "Indemnitee"), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all claims, losses, damages and liabilities, including without limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and other professional fees and related costs and disbursements and other reasonable costs, expenses, or disbursements relating thereto (collectively, the "Liabilities"), directly or indirectly, based upon or arising out of:

		
	a)
	any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement of the Company (the "Registration Statement") relating to the Common Stock being placed by FWG with the Investor (as defined in the Engagement Letter between FWG and the Company to which this Attachment A is an integral part (the "Engagement Letter")) in connection with that certain Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 2015, between the Company and Terrapin Opportunity, L.P. (the “Purchase Agreement”), including any preliminary prospectus or prospectus contained therein or any prospectus supplement thereto, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement; or

		
	b)
	the omission or alleged  omission to state in the  Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply and the Company shall not be liable to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (with no appeals available) that such Liability resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnitee through its breach of contract, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, (b) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Liability to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by FWG expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the prospectus contained therein or any prospectus supplement thereto (or any amendment or supplement thereto), and (c) with respect to the Prospectus (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnitee or any such person from whom the person asserting any Liability purchased Common Stock, if copies of the Prospectus were timely delivered to FWG and a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, including, without limitation, by any Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of FWG or any such person to such person, if required by law so to have been 

Globalstar, Inc.                        Page 6    

delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Common Stock to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such Liability.

With respect to a particular Indemnitee, if and to the extent the relevant Liabilities are determined in a final judgment by court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have not been indemnifiable hereunder, such Indemnitee shall promptly repay all amounts already paid by the Company to such Indemnitee.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these indemnification provisions is made but it is found in final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification (i) is due pursuant to the terms hereof but may not be enforced in such case for a reason other than due to the Indemnitee’s breach of contract, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) would be due pursuant to the terms hereof but for the fact that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case for a reason other than due to the Indemnitee’s breach of contract, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, then in each such case the Company, on the one hand, and the claiming Indemnitees on the other hand, will contribute to the losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (collectively, the "Losses") to which such Indemnitees may be subject.  Said contribution will be made in accordance with all relative benefits received by, and the fault of, the Company on the one hand, and such Indemnitees on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such Losses, together with the relevant equitable considerations and will be determined pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in the Engagement Letter.  No person found liable for fraudulent misrepresentation will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

The Company’s obligation for indemnification contained herein shall not apply unless the Indemnitee furnishes to the Company, on request, information available to the Indemnitee for such defense and the Indemnitee cooperates in any defense and/or settlement thereof as long as the Company pays all of the Indemnitee’s reasonable out of pocket expenses and attorneys' fees. The Indemnitee shall not admit any such claim without prior consent of the Company.

The Indemnitee will give prompt written notice to the Company of any claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, but the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have hereunder except to the extent that the Company is damaged or prejudiced by such omission.  The Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any claim, lawsuit or action for which the Indemnitee seeks indemnification hereunder, subject to the provisions stated herein.  After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, and so long as the Company performs its obligations pursuant to such election, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that, if any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation commenced which gives rise to a claim for indemnification and which, in any Indemnitee's reasonable judgment, gives rise to a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitees, then the Indemnitees will have the right to retain legal counsel of their own choice to represent and advise them, and the Company 

Globalstar, Inc.                        Page 7    

will pay the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one (1) law firm for all Indemnitees incurred from time to time in the manner set forth above. Such law firm will, to the extent consistent with their professional responsibilities, cooperate with the Company and any counsel designated by the Company. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the Company will be liable for any payment of any award or settlement of any actual, potential or threatened claim against any Indemnitee made with the Company’s prior written consent. Neither the Company nor any affiliate thereof will, without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnitee seeking indemnification, settle or compromise any actual, potential or threatened claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the Indemnitees of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the obligations contained herein for indemnification and contribution shall not apply to any action, suit or proceeding brought by a party hereto against the other party hereto.  Further, the Company’s obligation for indemnification and contribution contained herein shall not apply to any action, suit or proceeding brought against FWG by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory agency or body based upon an alleged violation of laws, rules or regulations governing financial advisors and/or broker-dealers.

Neither termination nor completion of the engagement of FWG pursuant to the Engagement Letter will affect these indemnification provisions, which will survive any such termination or completion and remain operative and in full force and effect.
