2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth specifically in the SEC Reports filed within one (1) year prior to the date hereof, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (as applicable) as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not be reasonably expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or financial condition of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the completion by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further consent or action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its shareholders. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the completion by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that 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 (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Section 2.2, result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected.

(d) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens.

(e) SEC Reports. The Company has filed all required registration statements, prospectuses, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents (including exhibits and all other information incorporated by reference) required to be filed by it with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 1, 2011 (the foregoing materials, together with any other materials filed by the Company with the SEC, whether or not required, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”), and has submitted to the SEC and posted on its corporate website all Interactive Data Files (as defined in Rule 11 of the SEC’s Regulation S-T) required to be submitted and posted, in each case, on a timely basis, or, with respect to SEC Reports, has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, or, if amended or supplemented prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment or supplement, each SEC Report and Interactive Data File complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such SEC Report and/or Interactive Data File.

(f) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of: (i) 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 12,353,122 shares are issued and outstanding; and; (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, 300,000 shares of which are designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,” none of which are issued and outstanding. Since October 1, 2014, the Company has not issued any shares of Common Stock, other than pursuant to the Company’s equity based compensation plans and arrangements. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. None of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights. Other than pursuant to the Company’s equity based compensation plans and arrangements, there are no: outstanding or authorized subscriptions, warrants, options or other rights granted by the Company to purchase or acquire, or preemptive rights with respect to the issuance or sale of, the capital stock of the Company, or which obligate or may obligate the Company to issue any additional shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or evidencing the right to subscribe for any shares of its capital stock. Neither the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement nor the acquisition of the Stock Consideration under the Asset Purchase Agreement (whether taken together or separately) will give rise to any rights to acquire or receive, or obligate the Company to issue any additional shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable for its capital stock and no such rights or obligations will arise under the Rights Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2005, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

(g) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the latest SEC Report in which financial statements are included, except as otherwise stated therein, there has been no Material Adverse Effect and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstances exist that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company, in each case that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) Private Placement. Neither the Company, nor any Person acting on the Company’s behalf, has sold or offered to sell or solicited any offer to buy the Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on the Company’s behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six (6) months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or shareholder approval provisions. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company is not a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980.

(j) Bad Actor. No “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to the Company or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any Company Covered Person, except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii–iv) or (d)(3), is applicable.

(k) No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.1 or in any of the other Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any Person acting on the Company’s behalf makes any other representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Company, any subsidiary, the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries, or the Transactions, including any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any projection, forecast, information or statement made, communicated, or furnished to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives, including any opinion, information, projection, or advice that may have been or may be provided to the Purchaser by any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant, or representative of the Company, any subsidiary, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person acting on the Company’s behalf.

The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from, or non-application of, the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time, but only pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Purchaser. The Company or the Purchaser may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties under this Agreement; (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties in this Agreement; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements, covenants, or conditions in this Agreement. Any extension or waiver contemplated in this Section 5.5 will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Company on the one hand, or the Purchaser on the other hand, as applicable, and will apply only as set forth in such instrument and will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any failure to comply with any other obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein.

5.6 Headings; Construction. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law or ordinance will be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “include,” “includes,” and “including” means “including without limitation”; the word “or” means “and/or”; and the word “any” means “any or all.” The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that the Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate thereof, if such Affiliate is a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of WPP plc; provided, further, that in the case of such an assignment by the Purchaser, such assignee must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions that apply to the Purchaser under this Agreement.

5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

5.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement will be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation, and effect by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 5.4 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or (ii) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

5.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered, including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tiff”), in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement.

5.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties to the fullest extent possible.

5.12 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each will be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

5.13 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices.
