The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).

Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) No Registration. Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Purchaser’s control.
(d) No Public Market. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Warrants, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Warrants.
(e) Purchaser Status.

(f) 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.
(g) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(h) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(i) Restrictive Legends. Purchaser understands that the Securities issued upon exercise of the Warrants, may bear one or all of the following legends (or substantially similar legends), unless and until the Shares and the Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement:
i. “THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Registrable Securities” shall mean the Securities and any shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the Securities by way of a stock dividend, stock split or other distribution, or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization; provided that such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) a registration statement covering such securities has been declared effective by the Commission and such securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) such securities have been sold under circumstances in which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act were met,(iii) such securities are otherwise transferred and such securities may be resold without subsequent registration under the Securities Act, or (iv) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding.
(b) Not less than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the initial filing of the Resale Registration Statement and not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to the Purchaser copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and reasonable comments of the Purchaser, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to any inquiries from the Purchaser and its advisors. The Company shall permit counsel designated by the Purchaser to review such Resale Registration Statement, related prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof) within the time periods referenced above and shall use reasonable best efforts to reflect in such documents any comments as such counsel may reasonably propose and will not request acceleration of the Resale Registration Statement without prior notice to such counsel.
(c) Upon filing the Resale Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter, including the filing of amendments and post-effective amendments and supplements to such Resale Registration Statement. The Company shall otherwise comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission and other governmental and regulatory authorities applicable to the registration of such Registrable Securities and the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement.
(d) The Company shall maintain such Resale Registration Statement and shall comply with its other obligations under this Section 4.1 until the earlier to occur of (i) such time as the Purchaser owns no Registrable Securities and (ii) such time as the Registrable Securities may be resold by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under such Rule and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. To the extent that the Company fails to maintain an effective Resale Registration Statement for an excess of ten (10) consecutive or twenty (20) aggregate Trading Days during any twelve (12)-month period, and the Purchaser suffers losses as a result of such failure, the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek specific performance or compensatory damages as set forth in this Agreement.
(e) The Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser of the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto. Additionally, the Company will promptly notify the Purchaser upon the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of the Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus: (i) receipt of any request for additional information by the Commission or any other governmental entity during the period of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other governmental entity of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and the Company will promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued; (iii) receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that, in the reasonable determination of the Company and its counsel, makes any statement made in the Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Resale Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents so that (or the Company otherwise becomes aware of any statement included in the Resale Registration Statement, related prospectus or document that is untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Resale Registration Statement, related prospectus or document so that), in the case of the Resale Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement would be appropriate (in which event the Company will promptly make available to the Purchaser any such supplement or amendment to the Resale Registration Statement and, as applicable, the related prospectus). In the event of any suspension of the Purchaser’s ability to sell Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement as a result of the foregoing (a “Suspension”), the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after notice of a Suspension to the Purchaser.
(f) The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Registration Statement such number of copies of the prospectus (including preliminary and supplemental prospectuses and prospectus amendments) as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser.
(g) The Company shall file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states as shall be reasonably appropriate in the opinion of the Company and its legal counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.1(g).
(h) All expenses incident to the Company’s compliance with this Section 4.1, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities laws, printing expenses, filing expenses, and fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants will be borne by the Company. Any expenses incurred in connection with the sale of any of the Shares or the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement shall be borne by the Company except that any brokerage commissions shall be borne by the Purchaser.
(i) The Company shall, at the reasonable request of the Purchaser, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Resale Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Resale Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to make reasonable changes to the plan of distribution set forth in such Resale Registration Statement.
(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.1 shall be automatically assignable by the Purchaser to any Affiliate of Purchaser of all or any portion of such Registrable Securities, to the extent of the Registrable Securities so transferred, if: (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement. In the event that the Purchaser transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1(j), the Company shall have ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such notice to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep the Resale Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415. Upon any such assignment, all of the Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred securities shall inure to the benefit of the transferee.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
4.3 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes.
4.4 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.5 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.6 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Company agrees to publicly disclose the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the manner required by law within four business days of the execution of this Agreement. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly announced by the Company, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction; provided, however, that if the Company fails to publicly announce the transaction and the Purchaser is required by law to make a disclosure regarding the transaction, the Purchaser may disclose such information as is required by law.
