13.             
Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the filing by or against
any Obligor of a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) or in the event of any other insolvency
proceeding or readjustment of any or all of the debts of any Obligor including an assignment for the benefit of creditor, the appointment
of a receiver for any Obligor’s business or assets, a composition or arrangement, or any other action or proceeding involving
the dissolution or winding up of the affairs of any Obligor’s business or assets (individually and collectively, an “Insolvency
Proceeding”). All references herein to any Obligor shall be deemed to apply to a trustee for such Obligor’s bankruptcy
estate and to such Obligor as debtor in possession. If any Obligor becomes subject to a case under the Code and if Lender desires
to permit the use of its cash collateral and/or to provide post-petition financing to such Obligor, Creditor agrees as follows:
(i) adequate notice to Creditor shall be deemed to have been provided for such use of cash collateral or post-petition financing
if Creditor receives notice as provided under applicable local rules or pursuant to an order of the bankruptcy court with respect
to a hearing on a request to approve such use of cash collateral or post-petition financing; and (ii) no objection shall be
raised by Creditor to any such use of cash collateral or post-petition financing on any ground. Creditor agrees that no objection
shall be raised by Creditor to any motion made by Lender and/or such Obligor: (a) to allow the sale of the Lender’s
Senior Collateral free and clear of all liens pursuant to §363 of the Code, and Creditor consents to such sale; (b) for
relief from the automatic stay under the Code to foreclose upon and sell any of Lender’s Senior Collateral; or (c) seeking
adequate protection under the Code. Lender also agrees that no objection shall be raised by Lender to any motion made by Creditor
and/or such Obligor; (a) to allow the sale of the Creditor’s Senior Collateral free and clear of all liens pursuant to §363
of the Code, and Lender consents to such sale; (b) for relief from the automatic stay under the Code to foreclose upon and
sell any of Creditor’s Senior Collateral; or (c) seeking adequate protection under the Code. Without Lender’s
prior written consent, Creditor agrees that it will not seek to provide post-petition financing secured by liens on Lender’s
Senior Collateral that are pari passu or senior to the liens of Lender.

14.             
Waiver of Marshalling. Creditor and Lender each specifically waives and renounces any rights, under any applicable
law, which each may have, whether at law or in equity, to require the other to marshal any of the collateral subject hereto or
any other assets of Borrower or any other Obligor, or any portion thereof, or to otherwise seek satisfaction from any particular
assets of Borrower or any other Obligor or from any third party.

15.             
Agreement to Hold In Trust. If Creditor or Lender shall receive any payment on account of proceeds of sale
or other disposition of collateral with respect to which the other holds a superior interest and right pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, then it shall hold such payment in trust for the benefit of the other and promptly upon discovery or notice of
such violation of the terms hereof, pay it over to the other for application in payment of Obligations to Lender or Obligations
to Creditor, as the case may be. As set forth in Lender’s Documents, on and after the date hereof and until such time as
all of the Obligations to Creditor have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and performed in favor of Creditor, and Creditor’s
Documents have been terminated, Borrower is required to direct all account debtors relating to Creditor’s Senior Collateral
to direct payments to Creditor.

    	6

     

    

16.             
Rights to Amend Documents And Discontinue Financing. Each of the Creditor and Lender hereby reserves the right,
in its sole discretion, to modify, amend, waive or release any of the terms of Creditor’s Documents or Lender’s Documents
(except that Creditor will not change the amount of the Regular Monthly Payment, increase the Loan Amount, or amend the definition
of Collateral (as defined in the Creditor’s Documents as in effect on the date hereof) without Lender’s prior written
consent), as applicable, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which it may have thereunder, subject
to the terms of this Agreement, and such modification, amendment, waiver, release, exercise, or failure to exercise, shall not
affect any of the rights of Lender under this Agreement. If at any time hereafter, either of Creditor or Lender shall, in its own
judgment and sole discretion, determine to discontinue the credit extended to Borrower and/or any Obligor, it may do so, subject
to the terms of Creditor’s Documents and Lender’s Documents, respectively.

17.             
Additional Documents. Creditor and Lender each agrees to execute and deliver, upon the request of the other,
such documents and instruments (appropriate for filing, if requested) as may be necessary or appropriate to fully implement or
to fully evidence the understandings and agreements contained in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, Creditor hereby
consents to any sale or other disposition of Lender’s Senior Collateral approved by Lender regardless of whether an event
of default exists under Lender’s Documents or Creditor’s Documents and regardless of whether Creditor receives any
proceeds from such sale or other disposition, and Creditor agrees to release its liens and security interests (if any) on Lender’s
Senior Collateral to the extent also released by Lender. Creditor waives any claim against Lender arising out of or relating to
Creditor’s consent to such sale or other disposition. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that all or part of any
of Obligations to Creditor or Obligations to Lender is hereafter refinanced, Creditor and Lender each agrees to enter into one
or more new agreements with the refinancing lender or lenders on terms identical to those of this Agreement.

18.             
Distribution of Proceeds of Collateral. All proceeds of Collateral subject to this Agreement received by Creditor
or Lender upon the exercise of any of its respective rights therein shall be distributed as follows:

     (a)               
Proceeds of Creditor’s Senior Collateral shall be applied first to Obligations to Creditor in accordance with
the terms of Creditor’s Documents. After all Obligations to Creditor have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and Creditor’s
Documents have been terminated, any remaining proceeds of Creditor’s Senior Collateral shall be applied to Obligations to
Lender.

     (b)              
Proceeds of Lender’s Senior Collateral shall be applied to Obligations to Lender in accordance with the terms
of Lender’s Documents.

     (c)               
After all Obligations to Creditor and all Obligations to Lender have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and
Creditor’s Documents and Lender’s Documents have all been terminated, the balance, if any, of the proceeds of any Collateral
subject to this Agreement shall be paid to Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

    	7

     

    

19.             
Independent Credit Investigations. Neither Creditor nor Lender shall be responsible to the other for Borrower’s
or any other Obligor’s solvency, financial condition or ability to repay any Obligations to Creditor or any Obligations to
Lender, or for statements of Borrower or any other Obligor, oral or written, or for the validity, priority, sufficiency or enforceability
of Obligations to Creditor, Obligations to Lender, Creditor’s Documents, Lender’s Documents, or any lien or security
interest granted by Borrower or any other Obligor to Creditor or Lender. Each of Creditor and Lender has entered into its respective
financing agreements with Borrower and any and all other Obligors based upon its own independent investigation and makes no warranty
or representation to the other nor does it rely upon any warranty or representation of the other with respect to any of such matters.

20.             
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BY
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (I) ACCEPTS THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID
COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY, (II) WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS, (III) intentionally
omitted, AND (IV) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY
DEFENSE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION, VENUE OR CONVENIENCE.

21.             
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

22.             
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors
and assigns of Creditor and Lender.

23.             
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS
SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY
JURY. THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ITS ATTORNEYS’
FEES AND COSTS.

    	8

     

    

24.             
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original. All such counterparts, taken together,
shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart of this
Agreement by each of the parties hereto.

25.             
Electronic Signature. This Agreement, or a signature page thereto intended to be attached to a copy of this
Agreement, signed and transmitted by facsimile machine, telecopier, or other electronic means (including via transmittal of a “pdf”
file) shall be deemed and treated as an original document. The signature of any person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered
as an original signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature
on an original document. At the request of any party hereto, any facsimile, telecopy or other electronic document is to be re-executed
in original form by the persons who executed the facsimile, telecopy or other electronic document. No party hereto may raise the
use of a facsimile machine, telecopier or other electronic means or the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use
of a facsimile machine, telecopier or other electronic means as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants
to the Company that:

 

-12-

 

 

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

(b) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises the
Warrants it shall be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Such Purchaser is acting alone in its determination as to whether to invest in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not a party to any voting agreements or similar arrangements with respect to the Securities. Except as expressly disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or amendments thereto) filed by such Purchaser with
the Commission with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, such Purchaser is not a member of a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that it (i) is not and shall not become a party to (A) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any Person as to how such Person, if serving as a director
or if elected as a director of the Company, shall act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) or (B) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such Person’s ability to comply, if serving as or elected as a director of the Company, with such Person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (ii) is not and shall not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person other
than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Company.

(c) General Solicitation; Pre-Existing Relationship. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. Such Purchaser also represents that such Purchaser was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with which the Purchaser had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship.

(d) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by such Purchaser hereunder shall be acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, not as
nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the Securities for any period of time.

 

-13-

 

 

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

(f) Disclosure of Information. Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and
receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, subject to Purchaser’s prior execution and delivery of the Company’s form of confidentiality agreement. Such Purchaser acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Reports (or access thereto via EDGAR). Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Purchaser shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Purchaser’s right to rely
on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(g) Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities
Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (i) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement in compliance with Section 5 under the Securities Act and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.

(h) Share Reserve. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges no Underlying Shares shall be issued pursuant this Agreement, the Note
or the Warrant if, at the time of such issuance, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect as of such date, to cover such issuance.

(i) No “Bad Actor” Disqualification Events. Neither (i) the Purchaser, nor (ii) to such Purchaser’s knowledge, any director, executive officer
or officer of the Purchaser is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii) under the Securities Act (each a “Disqualification Event”), except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed reasonably in advance of the applicable Closing in writing in reasonable detail to the Company.

Agreement are subject to the fulfillment, on or before each applicable Closing, of each of the following conditions, unless otherwise waived:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of each Purchaser contained in Section 4 shall
be true and correct on and as of such Closing with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such Closing.

the United States or of any state that are required in connection with the lawful issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be obtained and effective as of such Closing.

7. Covenants.

(a) Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

(b) Form D; Blue Sky Laws. If required by applicable law, the Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and
to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company shall after the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchaser at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchaser.

(c) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds for any and all general corporate purposes.

(d) Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until the Warrants have expired, the Company

(e) Equal Treatment of Purchasers.
No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall
not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

-15-

 

 

(f) Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Company shall hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders prior to December 31, 2016, to amend its Certificate of Incorporation
(the “Amendment”) in order to, among other thing, to provide for a number of authorized shares of Common Stock such that, following the effectiveness of the Amendment, sufficient shares of Common Stock will be available to provide for the conversion of the Notes in full, as well as any possible payment of interest on the Notes in shares of Common Stock as provided therein, and the exercise of the Warrants in full, without regard to any limitation
on conversion or exercise set forth in the Notes or the Warrants. As of the date hereof, the Company has 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Number of Shares") available for issuances of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes and Warrants. The Initial Number of Shares shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers purchasing the Notes and Warrants at the Initial Closing, based on the principal amount of Notes purchased by each Purchaser at the
Initial Closing (the "Authorized Share Allocation"). In the event that a Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer its Note or Warrant, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Authorized Share Allocation.

(g) Securities Laws Disclosure. The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, file a Current Report
on Form 8-K and press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchaser that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company understands and confirms
that each of the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

(h) Other Actions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company and the Purchasers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take, or agree or commit to take, any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8. Registration Rights.

(a) Request for Registration.

(i) At any time after the Company files with the Commission its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (including the Part III information thereto, which may be filed with the Company’s definitive proxy statement
for its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders), the Majority Note Holders may request (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company effect a registration under the Securities Act of all or any part of their Registrable Securities (each, a “Demand Registration”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any Registration Request for a Demand Registration shall specify
(A) the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and (B) the intended method of distribution of such shares. Within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the Registration Request, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement as soon as practicable (and in any event within ninety (90) days of the date such request is given)
and will include in such Registration Statement all Registrable Securities that holders of Registrable Securities request the Company to include in such Registration Statement by written notice given to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Company’s sends such notice.

 

-16-

 

 

(ii) 

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as possible after the filing thereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule
144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 or (ii) the date that is five (5) years following the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Period”). Not later than two Trading Days after a Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall file a prospectus supplement for any
Registration Statement to the extent required pursuant to Rule 424.

(iii) The Company shall notify the Purchasers in writing promptly (and in any event within two Trading Days) after receiving notification from the Commission that a Registration Statement has been declared effective.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, by written notice to the Purchasers, suspend sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the Purchasers
immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any additional Registration Statement if the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition or sale or any other pending development that the Company believes may be material, and the Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than as relating solely to the price of the Common Stock)
to maintain a Registration Statement at such time or (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend sales under such registration at such time. Upon receipt of such notice, each Purchaser agrees to immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales
beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company. The Company’s rights under this Section 8(iv) may be exercised for a period of no more than 20 Trading Days at a time with a subsequent permitted trading window of at least 90 Trading Days, and not more than two times in any twelve-month period. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 8(iv), the Company
shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Purchasers to publicly resell their Registrable Securities pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.

(v) If: (i) a Demand Registration is not filed on or prior to its applicable filing deadline, or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule
461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within ten Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration
Statement within twenty (20) Trading Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such
Registrable Securities, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such ten (10) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for the purposes of
clause (iii) the date on which such twenty (20) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the date on which such fifteen (15) or thirty (30) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall
not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate Principal Amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven business days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of
10% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

 

-17-

 

 

(vi) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 8(a):

(1) after the Company has effected two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 8(a) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(2) unless at least 40% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities shall be included in such registration; or

(3) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company
is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act

(b) Piggyback Registration Rights. If, at any time prior to the first day as of which all Registrable Securities issued and sold hereunder may be sold under Rule
144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its account or the account of others under the Securities Act of shares of Common Stock, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity
or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the equity incentive or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice of such determination and if, within 15 business days after the date of delivery of such notice, the Purchaser (or any permitted successor or assign) shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities that Purchaser requests to be registered. In the case of inclusion
in a firm-commitment underwritten offering, the Purchaser must sell its Registrable Securities on the same terms set by the underwriters for Common Shares to be sold for the account of the Company.

(c) Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(i) Not less than ten Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish via email to those Purchasers or their counsels who have supplied the
Company with email addresses copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than any document that is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) shall be subject to the review of such Purchasers. The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments regarding the Purchasers and the plan of distribution as the Purchasers may reasonably and promptly propose no later than two Trading Days after the Purchasers have been so furnished
with copies of such documents as aforesaid.

(ii) Subject to Section 8(iv), prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep

(iii) Notify the Purchasers as promptly as reasonably possible, and if requested by the Purchasers, confirm such notice in writing no later than two Trading Days thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the Commission notifies

(iv) Use commercially reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification
(or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

(v) If requested by a Purchaser, provide such Purchaser, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to

-19-

 

 

(vi) Promptly deliver to each Purchaser, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The
Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Purchasers in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent permitted by federal and state securities laws and regulations.

(vii) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Purchaser, use commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Purchasers in connection with the registration or qualification
(or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Purchaser requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required, but not to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; 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.

(viii) If requested by the Purchasers, cooperate with the Purchasers to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration
Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Purchasers may reasonably request.

(ix) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 5.2(c)(iii)-(vi), as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement
to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus shall 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.

(x) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any particular Purchaser that such Purchaser furnish
to the Company a completed Selling Shareholder Questionnaire in the form proffered by the Company (the “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) and such other information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and other shares of Common Stock held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it (if different from the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit F hereto) as shall be reasonably required
to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall complete and execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(xi) The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus,
including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Purchasers in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Purchasers are required to make available a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the
Registrable Securities hereunder.

(xii) Not identify any Purchaser as an underwriter without its prior written consent in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission or any Trading Market and any Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the Commission
shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement, provided, however, that if any such Purchaser refuses to be named as an underwriter as required by such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the staff of the Commission may require, such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities shall be removed from the applicable Registration Statement.

(d) Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements
of any counsel for the Purchasers, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 8 for each Purchaser, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company.
