In the event that, while any Ancillary Business Documents remain in effect (as the same may be amended or the term thereof may be extended), the Company consummates (without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion), a Change in Control that results in any Competitor obtaining Control of the Company, then the following shall apply:

(a) The Company shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders' Meeting”), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date (but in any event not later than one hundred (100) days thereafter (including any additional days from the time the Commission gives notice of its review of the Proxy Statement until such review is completed) unless the parties hereto shall otherwise agree in writing) for the purpose of approving (i) the exercise of the Warrant (Commercial Incentive), the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrant (Commercial Incentive) and shares of Common Stock issuable upon any Purchase Right (as defined in the Warrant (Commercial Incentive)) under the Warrant (Commercial Incentive), (ii) the issuance of Warrant Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable under the Warrant (Tracking) (including, without limitation, pursuant to any Purchase Right (as defined in the Warrant (Tracking)) under the Warrant (Tracking)) or this Agreement in excess, in the aggregate, of 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or that cause a “change of control” of the Company under NASDAQ rules, which in either case may result from application of anti-dilution protection set forth in the Warrant (Tracking) or the exercise of purchase or preemptive rights under this Agreement or the Warrant (Tracking) (including, without limitation, the issuance of any Proposed Equity to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries) and (iii) other transactions contemplated hereby, in accordance with NASDAQ rules and applicable Laws (the “Required Approval”). Except for matters typically presented at an annual meeting of stockholders, approval of an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to change its name and approval of performance goals under Code Section 162(m), the Company may only present those additional proposals other than those related to the Required Approval at the Stockholders' Meeting that are approved in writing by Purchaser. Subject to the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law, the Company shall (i) include in the proxy statement for the Stockholders' Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”), and not subsequently withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to Purchaser, the recommendation of the Company Board that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the Required Approval, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Required Approval (which commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, the requirement to hire a reputable proxy solicitor, which may include InvestorCom, Inc.), provided that the Company shall not be required to postpone or adjourn the Stockholders' Meeting to obtain a quorum or to solicit additional proxies or to seek the Required Approval at any subsequent meeting of stockholders. No shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Investment Agreement or the Warrants shall be eligible to vote for purposes of obtaining the Required Approval.

(b) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing (but in any event not later than 45 days thereafter unless the parties shall otherwise agree), prepare and file the Proxy Statement with the SEC under the Exchange Act, in such form as may be required under the federal securities laws relating to the Stockholders' Meeting and the Required Approval, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as practicable. Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Proxy Statement as it relates to the Required Approval, and the Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of the receipt of any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and of any requests by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and shall provide to Purchaser promptly copies of all correspondence between the Company or any representative of the Company and the SEC with respect thereto.

Each of the Company and Purchaser agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, after consultation with the other parties hereto, to respond promptly to all such comments of and requests by the SEC and to cause the Proxy Statement and all required amendments and supplements thereto to be mailed, as may be required, to the holders of shares entitled to vote at the Stockholders' Meeting at the earliest practicable time. The Proxy Statement and any supplement or amendment thereto shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws. If an event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, (A) the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other of such event, (B) the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC any such amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement and (C) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have any such amendment or supplement cleared as promptly as practicable after such filing. The Company agrees that none of the information supplied by it or any of the Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the time of mailing of the Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company or at the time of the Stockholders' Meeting, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of Requisite Approval, deliver to the holder of the Warrant (Tracking) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of Company, in form reasonably satisfactory to such holder, certifying that the issuance of any Warrant Shares in excess of 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the stockholders of the Company and that the Warrant (Tracking) is no longer subject to such limitation (except to the extent that a separate stockholder vote is required under NASDAQ rules for any future offering to which the Purchase Rights (as defined in the Warrant (Tracking)) are applicable).

6.5 Consents, Approvals and Filings. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company and Purchaser each shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper, desirable or advisable to obtain and make all Consents, Approvals and Filings required to be obtained or made by Company and its Subsidiaries or Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.6 Further Assurances. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Company and Purchaser each shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document. If any administrative or judicial action or Proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all respects with the other party, to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document; provided, however, that neither Company nor Purchaser shall be required to expend any material funds in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

6.7 Integration. Company agrees that it will not and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit any offer to buy, sell or make any offer or sale of, or otherwise negotiate in respect of, securities of Company of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 under the Securities Act, such offer or sale would render invalid, for the purpose of the sale of the Securities by Company to Purchaser, the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof or would otherwise require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of any of the Securities.

6.8 Confidential Information.

(a) In the event the Receiving Party (including its officers, employees, counsel, accountants, partners and other authorized representatives) obtains from the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party (i) shall treat all such Confidential Information as confidential, (ii) shall use such Confidential Information only for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement, (iii) shall protect such Confidential Information with the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own proprietary information against public disclosure, but in no case with less than reasonable care, and (iv) shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except (A) to such officers, employees, counsel, accountants, and other authorized representatives of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of effectuating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and who have been informed of and have agreed to protect the confidential nature of such Confidential Information (and the Receiving Party shall be responsible for compliance with this Section 6.8 by such officers, employees, counsel, accountants, partners and other authorized representatives), (B) as may be permitted under the terms of any Ancillary Business Documents, and (C) in the event that the Receiving Party (including its officers, employees, counsel, accountants, partners and other authorized representatives) or any of its or their Affiliates is required by Law, subpoena, valid legal process, Governmental Entity (having the power to compel such disclosure) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Receiving Party shall, if legally permitted to do so, provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy at its sole expense, if applicable. and if, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy in any such proceeding, a Receiving Party or any representatives of a Receiving Party is nonetheless, advised by such Receiving Party's outside counsel that it is legally compelled to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any tribunal (or parties to any proceeding before such tribunal as ordered by such tribunal) or Governmental Entity or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other analogous and material censure or penalty, the Receiving Party or the representative of the Receiving Party may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal (or such parties) or such Governmental Entity only that portion of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information which such outside counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party's representatives exercise their reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the Disclosing Party to obtain at the sole expense of Disclosing Party an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that such tribunal or Governmental Entity will accord confidential treatment to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

(b) Upon the request of a party hereto at any time, the other party shall (i) return to the requesting party or destroy all documents (including any copies thereof) embodying the Confidential Information and (ii) certify in writing to the requesting party, within ten days following such request, that all such Confidential Information has been returned or destroyed.

(a) Other than as contemplated or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as contemplated or permitted by Section 1(a)(v)(ii) of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement), neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser, will, without the prior written consent of the Company Board, directly or indirectly, acquire any Voting Securities (except by way of stock dividends or other distributions or offerings made available to holders of Voting Securities generally on a pro rata basis), provided that nothing in this Section 6.9(a) shall restrict transfers of Voting Securities among members of the Elutions Group (as such term is defined in the Amendment to the Rights Agreement).

(b) Other than as contemplated or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser shall deposit any Voting Securities in a voting trust or subject any Voting Securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Voting Securities (including granting any proxy with respect to any Voting Securities of the Company or any Subsidiary to any Person not designated by the Company).

(c) Other than as contemplated or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as contemplated or permitted by Section 1(a)(v)(ii) of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement), in addition to the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company Board, it will not, and it will cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others, take any of the actions set forth below:

(d) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of stockholders of the Company so that all Voting Securities beneficially owned by Purchaser and its Affiliates may be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.

The covenants and agreements of Purchaser contained in this Section 6.9 will continue in full force and effect until the later of (i) the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) the date that all Ancillary Business Documents have terminated (following the effective date thereof) and none of the Warrants or the Note is outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 6.9 or otherwise shall prevent or prohibit (i) any officers or employees of the Purchaser, or any representatives or trustees of trusts for their or their family member’s benefit, in each case who are not members of the Elutions Group, from owning, purchasing, or otherwise acquiring any Voting Securities or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided such Persons do not coordinate the voting, holding, purchasing or selling of shares of stock of the Company with the Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from consulting or discussing with other stockholders of the Company matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company (including, without limitation, the election of directors of the Company) and the manner in which Purchaser or any such Affiliate intends to vote on such matters, provided that the Purchaser or any such Affiliates will not engage in a solicitation of proxies (within the meaning of the rules of the SEC), take any of the actions prohibited by Section 6.9(c)(v) or form, join or in any way participate in a “group” which includes Persons other than members of the Elutions Group, as provided in Section 6.9(c)(iii).

6.10 Additional Stock. Within ninety (90) days following the first date on which Purchaser owns Common Stock, or is vested with the right to acquire Common Stock, or any combination of the foregoing, that equals or exceeds 38.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, the Purchaser and the Company Board shall enter into good-faith negotiations for Purchaser to acquire additional Common Stock constituting up to 6.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, which acquisition shall be subject to applicable stockholder approvals, and may be pursuant to permitted open market purchases, issuance of additional warrants, or a combination thereof.

6.11 Determination of Closing Price. In connection with the determination of a Closing Price, the Closing Price shall be equal to the most recent trading price for sale of a share of Common Stock as reported on the Principal Trading Market or, if there is no trading market for the Company's Common Stock, the Company Board may determine the applicable Closing Price and the Company shall give written notice of the applicable Closing Price to Purchaser, provided that if Purchaser gives written notice to the Company within twenty (20) days after its receipt of such written notice that it disagrees with such Closing Price as determined by the Company Board, then the Company and Purchaser shall select a Qualified Appraiser that is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company to determine the fair market value of the Common Stock. Within sixty (60) days of being retained the Qualified Appraiser shall submit its determination of fair market value. If the Purchaser and the Company cannot agree on the appointment of a Qualified Appraiser within twenty (20) days after the date upon which the determination of the Closing Price is necessary, then the Purchaser and the Company shall each appoint a Qualified Appraiser (the “Representative Qualified Appraisers”). If the Representative Qualified Appraisers are unable to agree on the fair market value, then Representative Qualified Appraisers shall appoint a third Qualified Appraiser (the “Independent Qualified Appraiser”) and each Representative Qualified Appraiser submit its determination of fair market value to the Independent Qualified Appraiser. The Independent Qualified Appraiser shall then select one of the two submissions and such submission so selected shall be deemed the fair market values. In connection with the determination of the fair market value of the Capital Stock, no minority or illiquidity discount shall be taken into account and no consideration shall be given to any restrictions on transfer, or to the existence or absence of, or any limitations on, voting rights.

6.13 Blackout Periods. If, due to any “blackout period” or other similar restriction on the purchase or sale of Securities imposed by the Company, the Purchaser, Elutions - Europe or any other member of the Elutions Group is prevented from exercising any of their rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, exercising any of the Warrants), then Purchaser, Elutions - Europe and such other members of the Elutions Group shall receive such extra time to exercise such right as is equal to the time period in which such “blackout period” or other similar restriction which restricted such Person from exercising such rights. If any additional rights are afforded to any Persons subject to any such “blackout periods” or other similar restriction (including, without limitation, any notice rights), then Purchaser, Elutions - Europe and such other member of the Elutions Group shall be afforded such additional rights.

6.14 Debt Right of First Offer.

(a) If, prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and provided that the Company has sold and the Purchaser has purchased the Note, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Debt Issuer”) desires to incur or assume any Indebtedness (the “Proposed Debt”) from any Person other than the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Lender”), which Proposed Debt is not otherwise prohibited by the Transaction Document or the Ancillary Business Documents, then the Debt Issuer may only do so in a bona fide transaction on arms’ length terms and must first deliver to the Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the “Debt Offer Notice”) which contains details of the Proposed Debt containing the initial principal amount, maturity, interest rate, payment terms for outstanding principal and accrued interest, and applicable security interests to be granted by the Company.

(b) If a Debt Issuer has served a Debt Offer Notice in accordance with Section 6.14(a) hereof, then the Debt Issuer shall, by delivery of such Debt Offer Notice to the Purchaser, be deemed to have offered to incur the Proposed Debt from the Purchaser on the terms and at the price set forth in the Debt Offer Notice (the “Debt ROFO”) and the following provisions shall apply:

(i) For a period of forty-five (45) days commencing on (and including) the date such Debt Offer Notice is received by the Purchaser (the “Debt ROFO Option Period”), Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right (but not the obligation) to give an irrevocable written notice to the Debt Issuer (the “Notice of Debt ROFO Acceptance”) specifying that it wishes to purchase all or any portion of the Proposed Debt from the Debt Issuer on the terms, limitations and conditions set forth in the Debt Offer Notice.

(ii) If at the end of the Debt ROFO Option Period, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has delivered a Notice of Debt ROFO Acceptance and elected to purchase all or any portion of the Proposed Debt from the Debt Issuer, then the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall purchase, and the Debt Issuer shall sell, such Proposed Debt in accordance with the terms, limitations and conditions and at the price specified in the Debt Offer Notice (except that the closing of such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.14(b)(iv) hereof).

(iii) If at the end of the Debt ROFO Option Period, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries has not delivered a Notice of Debt ROFO Acceptance, then the Debt Issuer shall have the right to incur or assume the Proposed Debt in accordance with the terms, limitations and conditions and at the price specified in the Debt Offer Notice with any third party lender as determined by the Company in its discretion, within a period of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Debt ROFO Option Period. If the Debt Issuer does not complete such sale of such Proposed Debt within such sixty (60) day period, then the provisions of this Section 6.14(b)(iii) shall again apply to such Proposed Debt.

(iv) The purchase and sale of the Proposed Debt by the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries and the Debt Issuer shall take place at a closing (the “Debt Closing”) to be held at the office of the Company at 10:00 A.M. on a date not fewer than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Notice of Debt ROFO Acceptance.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.14 shall not apply to any Excluded Indebtedness. Any Proposed Debt may be senior to, subordinate to, or pari passu with, the Note, provided that the security interests granted in the Security Agreement shall have priority over any security interests granted with respect to any such Proposed Debt, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate (to the extent reasonable for a similarly situated creditor and without the obligation to expend funds or undertake any obligations or liabilities) with any lender purchasing any Proposed Debt with respect to the foregoing and enter into such intercreditor agreement as may be reasonably required and satisfactory to Purchaser to confirm the foregoing; provided, further, that the Company shall be liable for all legal fees and out of pocket expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such cooperation and drafting, negotiation and execution of any such intercreditor agreement(s).

(d) In the event that a Debt Issuer incurs or assumes any Proposed Debt with a lender other than Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser and all or any portion of such Proposed Debt as incurred or assumed is senior to or pari passu with the Note (the Note being outstanding at the time such Proposed Debt is incurred or assumed), then, within fifteen (15) days following the date that the Company gives to Purchaser written notice that closing with respect to such Proposed Debt has occurred (a “Debt Closing Notice”), which Debt Closing Notice shall be given within fifteen (15) days following the closing of such Proposed Debt, Purchaser may elect, upon written notice (“Purchaser's Election Notice”) given to the Company within forty-five (45) days following the date that the Company gives such Debt Closing Notice to Purchaser, to require the Company purchase the Purchased Shares for an amount equal to the volume weighted Closing Price calculated over fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the date of the closing of such purchase, with the closing of such purchase occurring on a date determined by the Company, which date shall be not later than thirty (30) days following the date of receipt by the Company of Purchaser's Election Notice.

6.15 Equity Right of First Offer.

(a) Without duplicating any rights granted under any Warrant issued pursuant to this Agreement, if, prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company desires to issue, deliver, sell or dispose of any shares of its Capital Stock, any other Voting Securities or equity equivalents or any securities convertible into, or any rights, warrants or options to acquire, any such shares, Voting Securities, equity equivalents or convertible securities, other than as provided in Section 6.15(c) (the “Proposed Equity”), then the Company may only do so in a bona fide transaction on arms’ length terms and must first deliver to the Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the “Equity Offer Notice”) with details of the Proposed Equity containing all material terms of the Proposed Equity (including the issue or exercise price and number and type of Capital Stock and/or other securities to be awarded or issued) and limitations and conditions under which the Company is proposing such Proposed Equity.

(b) If the Company has served an Equity Offer Notice in accordance with Section 6.15(a) hereof, then the Company shall by delivery of such Equity Offer Notice to the Purchaser be deemed to have offered to sell to the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries on the terms and at the price set forth in the Equity Offer Notice (the “Equity ROFO”) its pro rata share of the Proposed Equity based upon its Ownership Percentage on such date (the “Pro Rata Share”) and the following provisions shall apply:

(ii) If at the end of the Equity ROFO Option Period, Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries has delivered a Notice of Equity ROFO Acceptance and elected to purchase all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Equity from the Company, then the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries shall purchase, and the Company shall sell, its Pro Rata Share of such Proposed Equity in accordance with the terms, limitations and conditions and at the price specified in the Equity Offer Notice (except that the closing of such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.15(b)(iv) hereof);

(iii) The Company may sell or otherwise transfer the Proposed Equity not purchased by Purchaser to any Person or Persons as determined by the Company in its discretion, within a period of ninety (90) days following the commencement of the Equity ROFO Offer Period at the same or higher price and upon terms and conditions not materially more favorable to such Person(s) than those set forth in the Equity Offer Notice. If the Company does not complete such sale or transfer of the applicable Proposed Equity within such ninety (90) day period, then the provisions of this Section 6.15 shall again apply to such Proposed Equity;

(iv) The purchase and sale of Proposed Equity by the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries and the Company shall take place at a closing (the “Equity Closing”) to be held at the office of the Company at 10:00 A.M. on a date not fewer than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Notice of Equity ROFO Acceptance; and

The Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of Required Approval, if obtained, deliver to the Purchaser a certificate, in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, certifying that the limitation contained in this Section 6.16 has been duly removed by the Company and is no longer applicable to this Agreement or the Warrants (except to the extent a separate stockholder vote is required under NASDAQ rules for (i) any future offering pursuant to the Purchase Rights under the applicable Warrants or (ii) the purchase of any Proposed Equity pursuant to Section 6.15).

The Company, in defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall not, except with the consent of each Indemnified Person, consent to the entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement which (i) the sole relief provided is not monetary damages that are paid in full by the Company and (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such action, suit, proceeding or investigation to the extent such liability is covered by the indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 11.3. No Indemnified Person shall consent to entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement without the consent of the Company.

11.4 Method of Asserting Indemnification for Other Claims.

Company shall not have any obligation under this Section 11 to indemnify any Person for lost profits or for consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages, except for the Indemnified Person’s liability to a third party for such damages.

On January 10, 2012, Xxxxxxx X.

The Management Network Group, Inc., against the Company with the American Arbitration Association. In the action, Xx. Xxxxxxx claimed that the Company breached his employment agreement and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by: (i) improperly deciding not to renew his employment agreement, and (ii) subsequently deciding to terminate his employment for cause. Xx. Xxxxxxx also claimed that the Company defamed him but subsequently withdrew that claim. An arbitration hearing on the action occurred in late October 2013. Xx. Xxxxxxx seeks in excess of $ 1.6 million in damages plus attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of possible loss given the current status of the arbitration and given the inherent uncertainty in predicting an arbitration decision.

1. INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

This Secured Loan Note Deed (this “Note”) has been issued by Company pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2014, between the parent company of the Company, The Management Network Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TMNG”), and the parent company of Holder, Elutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Elutions – U.S.”) (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Investment Agreement”). Initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Investment Agreement. This Note is subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement.

2. PAYMENTS

2.1 Maturity. If this Note has not previously been redeemed in accordance with Section 2.4, then the entire outstanding principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, this Note shall be due and payable in full on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”).

2.2 Interest. Interest on this Note shall accrue from the date hereof on the outstanding principal balance of this Note, until this Note is paid in full, at the rate of 7.825% per annum, compounded annually on each anniversary of the date hereof. Accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance shall become due and payable, if this Note has not been redeemed in accordance with Section 2.4, monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month, and on the Maturity Date or any other date on which such unpaid principal balance shall become due and payable in full (each such date being an “Interest Payment Date”). After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the unpaid balance of the Principal shall bear interest from and including the date of such Event of Default until paid in full or until such Event of Default has been waived or remedied at a rate per annum equal to 9.825%. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then the payment due on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

2.3 Secured Obligations. All amounts due to Holder under this Note are secured by certain assets and properties of TMNG and, where applicable, its specified Subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Agreement.

2.4 Redemption Options.

(a) Holder may cause Company to redeem this Note in whole for an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Note together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon providing Company written notice of such redemption election not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date together with surrender of this Note for cancellation. The redemption amount shall be payable as provided in Section 2.5.

(b) At any time, and from time to time, on or after the date that is 30 months following issuance of this Note, the Company shall be entitled to redeem this Note in whole for an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Note together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon providing Holder written notice of such redemption election not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date, and Holder will surrender this Note for cancellation upon such redemption. The redemption amount for such redemption shall be payable as provided in Section 2.5.

(c) At any time, and from time to time, on or after the date as of which the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during any consecutive 90-day period after August [__], 2015 has exceeded $5.50 per share (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions and combinations of shares and similar events affecting the Common Stock), the Company shall be entitled to redeem this Note in whole for an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Note together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon providing Holder written notice of such redemption election not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date, and Holder will surrender this Note for cancellation upon such redemption. The redemption amount for such redemption shall be payable as provided in Section 2.5.

2.5 Manner of Payment. Payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Holder for such purpose from time to time by written notice to Company, in Great Britain Pounds Sterling currency or such other currency as may be mutually acceptable to the Company and Holder. In respect of any payment in Great Britain Pounds Sterling under this Note, the spot rate of exchange prevailing at the date of payment as published on such date or as then most recently published in The Wall Street Journal for US Dollar to UK Pound (GBP/USD) currency exchange rates shall be used for the purposes of calculating the Great British Pounds Sterling amount of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any or all of the principal and unpaid interest to be paid to Holder under this Note shall, if requested by TMNG or Elutions – U.S., be applied against amounts to be paid by Elutions – U.S. to TMNG under the terms and conditions specified in the Warrant (Tracking) and if any such amount is so applied against payment obligations of Elutions – U.S. under the Warrant (Tracking), the amount so applied thereunder shall satisfy and reduce the Company's payment obligations to Holder under this Note by the amount so applied under the Warrant (Tracking) (for the avoidance of doubt, Holder hereby consents to, and no further consent of Holder shall be required with respect to, any such application or related satisfaction and reduction in the Company's payment obligations to Holder under this Note, and any such application or related satisfaction and reduction may occur even if Holder is not then an Affiliate of Elutions – U.S.).

2.6 Withholdings. Save as specified in Section 2.5 above, all payments made by Company under this Note shall be made in full, without set-off, counterclaim or condition, and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding, provided that, if Company is required by law or regulation to make such deduction or withholding, it shall: (a) ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; (b) pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities, as appropriate, the full amount of the deduction or withholding; and (c) furnish to Holder, within the period for payment permitted by the relevant law, either: (i) an official receipt of the relevant taxation authorities concerned on payments to them of amounts so deducted or withheld; or (ii) if such receipts are not issued by the taxation authorities concerned on payment to them of amounts so deducted or withheld, a certificate of deduction or equivalent evidence of the relevant deduction or withholding.

2.7 Waivers. Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any amount called for hereunder, and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.

GUARANTY

GUARANTY, dated as of [·] (“Guaranty”) by The Management Network Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “Guarantor”) in favor of [Elutions – Europe] (the “Guaranteed Party”).

WHEREAS, Guarantor and Elutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Elutions”), are parties to an Investment Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2014 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which Guarantor has agreed to cause its Subsidiary, Cartesian Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Cartesian”), to issue and sell to the Guaranteed Party, which is a Subsidiary of Elutions, and Elutions has agreed to cause the Guaranteed Party to purchase from Cartesian, a Note, as further described in the Investment Agreement (the “Note”); and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Elutions to enter into the Investment Agreement and consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and to cause the Guaranteed Party to purchase the Note, Guarantor has agreed to guarantee all of Cartesian’s obligations (payment or performance) arising in connection with the Note.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as principal and not merely as surety, to the Guaranteed Party all obligations and liabilities of any nature of Cartesian (including, payment or performance) when due arising under the Note (including, without limitation the full and prompt payment of the principal, interest and all other fees and expenses due on the Note from time to time) (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The term “Guaranteed Obligations,” as used herein, shall include all liabilities of any successor entity or entities of Cartesian under the Note.

2. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of full and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of the collectability of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor is liable on the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor. The Guaranteed Party may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby.

3. The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be released, diminished, affected or, reduced or impaired by the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

(a)

the taking or accepting of any direct or indirect security for, or other guarantees of, any Guaranteed Obligations;

(b)

any failure, delay, neglect or omission by the Guaranteed Party to realize upon or protect any such security or guarantees;

(c)

any partial release of the liability of any Guarantor hereunder;

(d)

the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Person at any time liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Cartesian;

(e)

any amendment, extension and/or rearrangement of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(f)

any failure of the Guaranteed Party to notify Guarantor of any amendment, extension and/or rearrangement of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

4. The Guaranteed Obligations and the rights of the Guaranteed Party to enforce such Guaranteed Obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at Law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination, whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise. Subject to the limitation set forth herein, the liability and obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

(a)

any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance by Cartesian or any other Person of any of the Guaranteed Obligations of any kind or character whatsoever;

(b)

any lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in the Note;

(c)

any modification, extension or waiver of any of the terms of the Note;

(d)

any change in the time, manner, terms or place of payment of or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Note, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(e)

any sale, exchange, release or non-perfection of any property standing as security for the liabilities and obligations hereby guaranteed or any liabilities and obligations incurred directly or indirectly hereunder or any setoff against any of said liabilities and obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(f)

any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any of the collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(g)

except as to applicable statutes of limitation, failure, omission, delay, waiver or refusal by the Guaranteed Party to exercise, in whole or in part, any right or remedy of the Guaranteed Party with respect to the Note;

(h)

any change in the existence, structure or ownership of Guarantor or Cartesian or their respective Affiliates, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Guarantor, Cartesian or their respective Affiliates or their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(i)

the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guaranteed Party may have at any time against Cartesian or Guarantor, whether in connection herewith or with any unrelated transactions; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(j)

any Order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation of any court of any jurisdiction or of any Governmental Entity or any other Proceeding, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere with, hinder or prevent the performance by any party of its respective obligations under the Note;

(k)

the failure of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any agreement or otherwise;

(l)

impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of Cartesian or Guarantor of its obligations under the Note;

(m)

the failure of any Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; or

(n)

any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Cartesian or Guarantor or any other Person that is a party to any agreement or instrument (including any guarantor) in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

The obligations of Guarantor hereunder constitute the full recourse obligations of Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all of its assets and properties and are several from Cartesian or any other Person, and are primary obligations concerning which Guarantor is the principal obligor. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Guarantee, except as expressly contained herein. It shall not be necessary for the Guaranteed Party, in order to enforce payment or performance by Guarantor under this Guarantee, to exhaust its remedies against Cartesian, any other guarantor, or any other person liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

5. The Guarantor further agrees that, if at any time any payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is annulled, avoided, set aside, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, rescinded or must otherwise be returned, refunded or repaid to Guarantor, Cartesian or any other Person by the Guaranteed Party or any other Person, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, under any bankruptcy Law, state, federal or foreign Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, this Guaranty shall be reinstated, and remain in full force and effect, and the Guaranteed Obligations reinstated, as fully as if such payment had never been made, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Guaranteed Obligations in respect of the amount of such payment.

6. Guarantor hereby waives the following to the fullest extent permitted by Law:

(a)

promptness, diligence and notice with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (except for notices to be provided to Guarantor in accordance with the Investment Agreement);

(b)

all suretyship defenses to which Guarantor may be entitled;

(c)

notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, of the creation or existence of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and of any action by the Guaranteed Party in reliance hereon or in connection herewith;

(d)

except as expressly set forth herein, presentment, demand for execution, notice of dishonor or non-execution, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; and

(e)

any requirement that suit be brought against, or any other action by the Guaranteed Party be taken against, or any notice of default or other notice be given to, or any demand be made on, Cartesian or any other Person, or that any other action be taken or not taken as a condition to such Guarantor’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty or as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty against such Guarantor.

7. This is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed and satisfied or excused under the terms of the Note.

8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor does not waive any defenses arising from fraud of the Guaranteed Party. Guarantor also reserves the right to assert any and all defenses that Guarantor or Cartesian may have to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.

9. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that the Guaranteed Party, with or without any further notice to or assent from the Guarantor, may, without in any manner affecting the liability of any Guarantor, and upon such terms and conditions as the Guaranteed Party may deem advisable:

(a) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any Guaranteed Obligation, or waive any default with respect thereto;

(b) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by or on behalf of the Guaranteed Party as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation; and

(c) settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Borrower against any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Guaranteed Obligation.

Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and agrees that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty.

10. Guarantor agrees to pay on demand any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel (including travel expenses), and other expenses incurred and documented by the Guaranteed Party in connection with any default, collection, enforcement or protection of its rights under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, the enforcement of Guarantor’s payment obligations under this Guaranty); provided that Guarantor shall not be liable for any expenses of the Guaranteed Party if no payment under this Guaranty is finally determined to be due by a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Guarantor agrees not to exercise any rights it may acquire by subrogation, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or otherwise that it may have against Cartesian on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and discharged in full. If any amount is paid to Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party and shall be paid forthwith to the Guaranteed Party to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or not. Subject to the foregoing, upon payment of all the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Guaranteed Party against Cartesian, indemnified or reimbursed.

12. The Guaranteed Party shall not be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets or properties in favor of Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or (b) to pursue any other remedy that Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten such Guarantor’s burden, any and all right to which the Guarantor hereby expressly waive.

13. If acceleration of the time for performance or payment of any amount payable by Cartesian with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Cartesian, all such matters required to be performed and amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Note shall nonetheless be payable and subject to performance by Guarantor to the extent provided in this Guarantee.

14. If any provisions of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstance shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to other person(s), entities, or circumstances shall be affected thereby, but shall be enforced to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

15. Guarantor represents that it will receive a direct and material benefit from the Guaranteed Obligations.

16. All notices, demands, requests, consents or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or: (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified, or (b) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next business day delivery, with written verification of delivery.

23.

Exhibit B-1

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS PERMITTED UNDER RULE 144 OF THE ACT OR IS OTHERWISE EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 25, 2014.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

(COMMERCIAL INCENTIVE)

THE MANAGEMENT NETWORK GROUP, INC.

Issue Date: _________, 2014

Warrant Shares: 3,400,000

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (COMMERCIAL INCENTIVE) (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Elutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, its successors and permitted assigns (together, “Holder”), is entitled, at any time on or after the Issue Date specified above (the “Issue Date”) and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”), to purchase from The Management Network Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), up to the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.005 per share, of Company (the “Common Stock”), specified as Warrant Shares above (the “Warrant Shares”) at the applicable exercise price per Share set forth in Section 1 of this Warrant (the “Warrant Exercise Price”), in each case subject to the adjustments and provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. The Warrant Exercise Price for Warrant Shares shall become locked in with respect to the applicable Exercise Price (“Locked In”) as provided in Section 1 and Appendix 1 attached hereto. The Warrant Shares shall vest and become exercisable (“Vested”) as provided in Section 2 and Appendix 1 attached hereto.

This Warrant has been issued pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2014, between Company and Holder (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Investment Agreement”). Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined has the meaning given to such term in the Investment Agreement.

1. EXERCISE PRICE

The Warrant Exercise Price for each of the Warrant Shares, on a per share basis, shall be as follows, subject to the vesting provisions in Section 2 and Appendix 1 to this Warrant, the exercise requirements set forth in Section 3 of this Warrant, the adjustments provided for in Section 4 of this Warrant, and all other provisions of this Warrant:

(a) for any Warrant Shares Locked In or Vested from and after the Issue Date through the first anniversary of the Issue Date, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be $3.85 per share;

(b) for any Warrant Shares Locked In or Vested after the first anniversary of the Issue Date through the second anniversary of the Issue Date, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be $4.10 per share;

(c) for any Warrant Shares Locked In or Vested after the second anniversary of the Issue Date through the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be $4.35 per share;

(d) for any Warrant Shares Locked In or Vested after the third anniversary of the Issue Date through the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be $4.60 per share; and

(e) for any Warrant Shares Locked In or Vested after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date through the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be $4.85 per share; provided that for the avoidance of doubt this Warrant shall not be exercisable with respect to Warrant Shares that are not Vested as of the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Issue Date.

The applicable Warrant Exercise Price for any Warrant Shares shall be determined based upon the date that such Warrant Shares become Locked-In or Vested, as applicable.

2. VESTING

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and the Investment Agreement, and notwithstanding any status as Locked In, Warrant Shares shall not become exercisable unless such Warrant Shares become Vested as provided in Appendix 1.

(b) Anything in this Warrant to the contrary notwithstanding, this Warrant may not be exercised in whole or in part and no Purchase Rights may be granted or exercised (i) unless and until the Company has received the Required Approval with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) at any time from and after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. If the Company fails to receive the Required Approval with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby, then this Warrant shall thereafter be void and of no further force and effect.

3. EXERCISE

This Warrant shall be exercisable into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

3.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may, subject to the vesting provisions in Section 2 of this Warrant, the adjustments provided for in Section 4 of this Warrant, and all other provisions of this Warrant, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part to purchase Warrant Shares that have become Vested for cash by delivering to Company, in accordance with Section 9.2, (a) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 2 and (b) the original of this Warrant. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right provided for in Section 3.2, Holder shall also deliver to Company a wire transfer of immediately available funds (to an account designated by Company), or, if Holder desires an alternative method of delivery of the funds, such other form of payment acceptable to Company, in the amount of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased. With respect to any exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the Holder may not exercise or convert this Warrant for fewer Warrant Shares than 1,000 Warrant Shares or if less, the full number of Warrant Shares that may then be acquired upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant.

3.2 Cashless Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares for cash in accordance with Section 3.1, Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis for Warrant Shares that become Vested in a fiscal year of the Company, provided that such cashless exercise occurs not later than 60 days following the end of such fiscal year of the Company in which such Warrant Shares have Vested, with net conversion based on the Assumed Value per Share. Such cashless conversion shall be effected without any obligation to pay the Warrant Exercise Price, into that number of Warrant Shares determined by (x) multiplying the number of Warrant Shares being exercised by (y) the quotient of (1)(A) the Assumed Value of one Share of Common Stock minus (B) the Warrant Exercise Price of one Warrant Share divided by (2) the Assumed Value of one Share of Common Stock. The Assumed Value of one Share shall be determined pursuant to Section 3.3. Holder may exercise such conversion right under this Warrant in whole or in part by delivering to Company, in accordance with Section 9.2, (a) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 2 and (b) the original of this Warrant. With respect to any Warrant Shares vesting in any fiscal year of the Company, to the extent that the Holder fails to exercise such right under this Warrant with respect to such Warrant Shares on a cashless basis within 60 days following the end of such fiscal year of the Company as provided in this Section 3.2, Holder shall no longer have the right to exercise such right under this Warrant with respect to such Warrant Shares on a cashless basis as provided in this Section 3.2, but may otherwise exercise the Warrant thereafter with respect to such Warrant Shares and pay the exercise price by wire transfer of immediately available funds as provided in this Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of Warrant Shares that are Locked In and Vested shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares being exercised, provided that the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under this Warrant shall be reduced only by the number of Warrant Shares that are actually issued. For example, if the Assumed Value of one share of Common Stock is $8.20 and the Warrant Exercise Price of one Warrant Share is $4.10, and the Warrant is being exercised with respect to 500,000 Locked In and Vested Warrant Shares, resulting in the issuance of 250,000 Warrant Shares, then the number of Warrant Shares that are Locked In and Vested shall be reduced by 500,000 Warrant Shares and the maximum number of Warrant Shares that may be issued under this Warrant shall be reduced by 250,000 Warrant Shares.

3.3 Assumed Value. For purposes of this Warrant, “Assumed Value” shall mean, with respect to one Share of Common Stock for any date, the price determined as follows: (a) the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (the dollar value of all Common Stock trading on the applicable Principal Trading Market for the applicable 30-day period, divided by the total trading volume or the applicable Principal Trading Market, for such 30-day period) for the 30-day period ending on the last day of the respective fiscal year (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions and combinations of shares and similar events affecting the Common Stock), or (b) if the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted, as reasonably determined by the Company Board and Holder; provided, that if the Company Board and Holder cannot determine the price of one Share of Common Stock, then such price shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

3.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following the date of receipt or transmittal of an Exercise Notice and, to the extent applicable, the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price and receipt by Company of this Warrant, Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice (if given by Holder, otherwise to the address of Holder as set forth in Company's records), a certificate, registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which Holder shall be entitled together with cash for any fractional interest. Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after receipt of this Warrant and the other items above and at its own expense, issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the outstanding Warrant Shares not exercised.

3.5 Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the Warrant Shares; and if at any time the number of Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the Warrant Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

4. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES. The applicable Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.

4.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, Company declares or pays a dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock payable in additional shares of the Common Stock or other securities (including rights to acquire securities), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number of shares of Common Stock or the total number and kind of other securities, as applicable, to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder held such Shares as of the date on which a record is taken for such dividend or other distribution. If Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the date on which a record is taken for such subdivision. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased as of the date on which a record is taken for such combination or consolidation.

4.2 Reorganization, Reclassification, Exchange, Conversion or Substitution. Upon any reorganization, reclassification (other than a subdivision, combination or consolidation referred to in Section 4.1), exchange, conversion, substitution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets followed by a liquidation of Company or similar event affecting the outstanding shares of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (“Reorganization Event”), Holder shall be entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation), upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately before such Reorganization Event, at an aggregate Warrant Exercise Price not exceeding the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior thereto. The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Reorganization Event, the Holder may elect prior to the record date or consummation date (if there is no record date) of such Reorganization Event to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part to the extent then exercisable instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4.2 with respect to this Warrant.

4.3 Distributions. If Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or other assets (excluding (a) evidences of indebtedness and other assets referred to in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 above or Section 4.8, and (b) dividends or distributions paid in cash), then in each such case the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Price determined as of the record date mentioned above and of which the numerator shall be the Closing Price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed with respect to one outstanding share of Common Stock. The net amount of any fair market value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Company Board and the Holder; provided, however, that if such net amount of fair market value received cannot be determined by the Company Board and Holder, then such net amount of fair market value received shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

4.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder cash in the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the Closing Price of a full Share on the date of exercise.

4.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Common Stock and/or number of Shares, or upon the occurrence of any transaction or event described in this Section 4 (including, without limitation, the grant of new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of a Reorganization Event), Company shall promptly notify Holder thereof in writing, and, at Company's expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. In addition, Company shall promptly, following any such adjustment, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Exercise Price, Common Stock and number of Shares in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Exercise Price, Common Stock and number of Shares.

4.6 Additional Anti-Dilution Rights. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall also be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.6.

(a) Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 4.6(e) and except in the case of an event described in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, or Section 4.3, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 4.6(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including as a result of the issuance of Options and/or Convertible Securities) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Warrant Exercise Price equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) would purchase at the Market Price; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).

For purposes of this Warrant, “Market Price” shall mean, with respect to one Share of Common Stock for any date, the price determined as follows: (a) the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (determined by dividing the dollar value of all Common Stock trading on the applicable Principal Trading Market for the applicable 30-day period, by the total trading volume on the applicable Principal Trading Market, for such 30-day period) for the 30-day period ending on the date of determination (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions and combinations of shares and similar events affecting the Common Stock), or (b) if the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted, as reasonably determined by the Company Board and Holder; provided, that if the Company Board and Holder cannot determine the Market Price of one Share of Common Stock, then such Market Price shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided in Section 4.6(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(i) the product of (A) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

(ii) the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 4.6(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 4.6(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Exercise Price under Section 4.6(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4.6(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.6(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 4.6(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to Section 4.6(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 4.6(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.6(c)(i) or Section 4.6(c)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.6(c)(i) or Section 4.6(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.6(c)(i) or Section 4.6(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 4.6(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 4.6(c)(ii) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4.6) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.6 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Warrant Exercise Price that was in effect at the time originally granted is reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6(b).

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 4.6 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.6 to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 4.6(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the closing price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any consideration and the fair market value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Company Board and the Holder; provided, however, that if such net amount of cash consideration and/or fair market value received cannot be determined by the Company Board and Holder, then such net amount of consideration and/or fair market value received shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

(d) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Company Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 4; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6(d) shall increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4. In addition, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and conditions and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

(e) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

(b) of any Reorganization Event;

(d) that any other event occurs that would result in any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable to Holder pursuant to this Section 4;

4.8 Purchase Rights. Without duplicating any purchase rights granted under the Investment Agreement or any other warrant or other instrument, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 4, if at any time the Company grants or issues or sells any Options or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuances.

APPENDIX 1

Vesting Provisions:

For purposes of this Warrant and this Appendix 1, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Applicable Contract” means any Booked Order received from, and related Client Statement of Work with, a third-party client (which shall include agreements with a third-party financier) entered into by Company or an Affiliate of Company with respect to such Booked Order and related Client Statement of Work.

“Applicable Contract Lock In Credit” means the Exercise Price for Warrant Shares becomes Locked In based upon monies received or to be received by Company and/or an Affiliate of Company over the term of Applicable Contracts. Applicable Contract Lock In Credit shall be determined on the effective date of the Applicable Contract.

“Applicable Contract Vesting Credit” means vesting credit for Warrant Shares based upon either: (1) recognized revenues by Company and/or an Affiliate of Company under GAAP in an Applicable Fiscal Quarter under Applicable Contracts (“Revenue Vesting Credit”); or (2) monies received by Company and/or an Affiliate of Company that is attributable to Substantially Completed Installation/Deployment under prime contracts of Company in connection with Applicable Contracts in an Applicable Fiscal Quarter and for which the Company will recognize the revenues associated with such monies under GAAP in a future fiscal quarter (“Cash Vesting Credit”). Cash Vesting Credit shall be granted upon Substantial Completion of Installation/Deployment; provided, however, that, if the installation/deployment involves multiple client sites, then Cash Vesting Credit shall be granted on a pro rata basis upon Substantial Completion of Installation/Deployment for each client site. Company and Holder shall agree in writing as to the applicable Cash Vesting Credit to be granted with respect to monies to be received pursuant to an Applicable Contract prior to their or their Affiliates entering into such Applicable Contract. Cash Vesting Credit shall be granted no later than the 365^th day following receipt by Company and/or its Affiliate(s) of any monies under an Applicable Contract for which the recognition of such monies as revenue is not dependent on Substantially Completed Installation/Deployment. For the avoidance of doubt, Applicable Contract Vesting Credit shall be granted in accordance with the foregoing notwithstanding that monies may have been received by Company or an Affiliate of Company in the past with respect to related Applicable Contracts. Applicable Contract Vesting Credit with respect to any Applicable Contracts shall be awarded one time and without double-counting upon the earliest event to occur that results in Revenue Vesting Credit or Cash Vesting Credit with respect to such Applicable Contracts. For the avoidance of doubt, once Cash Vesting Credit is awarded, associated revenue recognition relating to the same monies will not result in duplicative Revenue Vesting Credit.

“Applicable Fiscal Quarter” means each fiscal quarter of the Company ending after the Issue Date and before the Expiration Date (or partial fiscal quarter for the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date or the Expiration Date occurs, where the first Applicable Fiscal Quarter determined hereunder shall mean the first fiscal quarter or partial fiscal quarter of the Company ending after the Effective Date of the Investment Agreement).

“Applicable Warrant Shares” means, for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter, the number of Warrant Shares for which Applicable Contract Lock In Credit is granted, which shall be determined by dividing the aggregate Applicable Contract Lock In Credit earned in such Applicable Fiscal Quarter (i.e., monies received or to be received by Company and/or an Affiliate of Company over the term of Applicable Contracts that become effective in such Applicable Fiscal Quarter) by $85,000,000, and then multiplying such resulting percentage by 3,400,000. For example, if the aggregate Applicable Contract Lock In Credit earned in an Applicable Fiscal Quarter is $10,000,000, then the Applicable Warrant Shares resulting from such Applicable Contract Lock In Credit will be 400,000 Applicable Warrant Shares. Any computation of Applicable Warrant Shares shall not increase the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise provided for in this Warrant.

“Change in Control Vesting Credit” means vesting credit for Warrant Shares based upon a Change in Control of the Company.

“Substantial Completion of Installation/Deployment” occurs when substantially all of the equipment to be installed or deployed pursuant to a Client Statement of Work is placed and mounted in client facilities (or other location, as required by the Client Statement of Work) and data from such equipment is populated in the Maestro database.

“Vesting Formula” means the following formula:

(a) Applicable Contract Vesting Credit earned for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter, multiplied by the

(b) Vesting Percentage.

“Vesting Percentage” means four percent (4%).

The Exercise Price for Applicable Warrant Shares shall be determined and Locked In based upon Applicable Contract Lock In Credit for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter.

Notwithstanding any status as Locked In, Warrant Shares shall only become Vested pursuant to the application of the Vesting Formula and/or the creation of Change in Control Vesting Credit on a first Locked In, first Vested basis, provided further, however, that any Warrant Shares that have become Locked In but have not yet become Vested prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Issue Date shall be deemed Vested as of the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Issue Date. For example in regard to the first Locked In, first Vested basis, if 100 Warrant Shares are Locked In prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date pursuant to Applicable Contract “A” and 100 Warrant Shares are Locked In between the first anniversary and the second anniversary of the Issue Date pursuant to Applicable Contract “B”, then any Applicable Contract Vesting Credit granted shall be applied (i) first to the first Warrant Shares that have been Locked In (that is, the Warrant Shares Locked In pursuant to Applicable Contract “A”), whether or not the Applicable Contract Vesting Credit was first granted pursuant to Applicable Contract “A” or Applicable Contract “B”, and (ii) then to the Warrant Shares Locked In next in time (that is, the Warrant Shares Locked In pursuant to Applicable Contract “B”) and any remaining Applicable Contract Vesting Credit not granted to any Locked In Warrant Shares shall remain available to be applied to any future Locked In Warrant Shares.

Upon a Change in Control of the Company, all Applicable Contract Lock In Credit that has not become Applicable Contract Vesting Credit shall then be deemed to be Applicable Contract Vesting Credit. Change in Control Vesting Credit shall be awarded one time and not cumulatively with respect to any Applicable Contract Vesting Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, once Change in Control Vesting Credit is awarded, any Warrant Shares that are Locked In and deemed Vested based upon Change in Control Vesting Credit will not result in duplicative Applicable Contract Vesting Credit.

The number of Warrant Shares that become Vested and exercisable for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter shall be based upon Change in Control Vesting Credit and the application of the Vesting Formula for such Applicable Fiscal Quarter, subject in each case to the limit on the total number of Warrant Shares that may be issued under this Warrant but without prejudice to Holder’s right to acquire Warrant Shares to be applied to cashless conversion as set forth below. For example, if the Applicable Contract Vesting Credit for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter is $10,000,000, then the number of Warrant Shares that Vest for such Applicable Fiscal Quarter shall equal (10,000,000 x .04) or 400,000 Warrant Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Applicable Contract Lock In Credit shall be counted only once for purposes of determining the Exercise Price and Locked In status of Warrant Shares and Applicable Contract Vesting Credit and (ii) the Change in Control Vesting Credit shall be counted only once for purposes of determining the Vested status of Warrant Shares.

Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of Company's public disclosure of its earnings for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following the last day of an Applicable Fiscal Quarter, Company shall deliver to Holder written notice of the Applicable Contract Lock In Credit and Applicable Contract Vesting Credit for such Applicable Fiscal Quarter, together with confirmation of the number of Warrant Shares that are subject to a particular Exercise Price based upon Applicable Contract Lock In Credit and the number of Warrant Shares that have Vested and become exercisable as a result of Applicable Contract Vesting Credit (an “Incentive Warrant Notice”). Any failure by Holder to object to Company’s calculations in the Incentive Warrant Notice shall not be deemed a waiver by Holder of any of Holder’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to object to such calculation and demand an accounting thereof or exercise any rights afforded to Holder hereunder, under the Investment Agreement or Transaction Documents or enforce its rights at law or in equity. Applicable Contract Vesting Credit included in the vesting computation for an Applicable Fiscal Quarter shall not be included in the vesting computation for any subsequent Applicable Fiscal Quarter.

After taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 4 of this Warrant and any additional Warrant Shares that may then be used to cashlessly exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Warrant, in no event shall Warrant Shares vest and become exercisable in an amount greater than that number of Warrant Shares, when combined with the Purchased Shares and other shares of Common Stock acquired by members of the Elutions Group and the shares of Common Stock then currently issuable and/or issued under the Warrants (Tracking), that would result in such Persons owning, or having the right to own, in excess of 38.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Ownership Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, Warrant Shares shall continue to be considered Locked In and/or Vested in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the Ownership Cap; provided, however, that any such Warrant Shares which would enable Holder if exercised to exceed the Ownership Cap shall be applied only to Holder’s cashless exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Company repurchases shares of Common Stock (other than in connection with tax withholding under its equity plans and equity award agreements) after the Effective Date in excess of $2,000,000, the Ownership Cap shall be determined based on the issued and outstanding Common Stock without giving effect to any such repurchases of Common Stock by the Company in excess of $2,000,000.

This Warrant has been issued pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of [•], between Company and Holder (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Investment Agreement"). Initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Investment Agreement.

1. EXERCISE

This Warrant shall be exercisable into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.

1.1. Exercise Rights.

(a) On or after the date hereof but prior to the Expiration Date, Holder shall be entitled to exercise (on one or more separate occasions) any portion of the outstanding and unexercised Total Exercise Amount (as hereinafter defined) into Shares in accordance with Section 1.3, at the Exercise Rate (as hereinafter defined), provided that with respect to any exercise the Holder may not exercise less than the lesser of (i) an Exercise Amount equal to $250,000 or (ii) the full Total Exercise Amount then outstanding.

(b) On or after the date that is 30 months following issuance of this Warrant, provided that, at the time the Company causes exercise, (1) Company (on a consolidated basis) has cash and cash equivalents (net of any amounts required to cover checks and similar instruments issued by the Company which have not cleared and determined in conformity with GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the balance sheet included in the most recent financial statements included in the Company’s SEC filings) (the “Company Cash”) of not less than $9,500,000 and (2) the result of (i) the current assets of the Company (on a consolidated basis) determined in conformity with GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the balance sheet included in the most recent financial statements included in the Company’s SEC filings minus (ii) the current liabilities of the Company (on a consolidated basis) determined in conformity with GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the balance sheet included in the most recent financial statements included in the Company’s SEC Documents (the “Net Working Capital”) is not less than $13,000,000, the Company shall be entitled to cause Holder to exercise all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Total Exercise Amount (as hereinafter defined) into Shares in accordance with Section 1.3, at the Exercise Rate (as hereinafter defined).

(c) On or after the date as of which the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during any consecutive 90-day period after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issue Date of this Warrant has exceeded $5.50 per share (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions and combinations of shares and similar events affecting the Common Stock) (the “Threshold Common Stock Price”), provided that (i) at such time the Company causes exercise the Threshold Common Stock Price is then exceeded, (ii) the Company Cash is not less than $9,500,000 and (iii) the Net Working Capital is not less than $13,000,000, the Company shall be entitled to cause Holder to exercise all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Total Exercise Amount into Shares in accordance with Section 1.3, at the Exercise Rate.

(d) No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, and any portion of the Exercise Amount that otherwise would be exercisable into a fractional share shall be paid in cash in an amount based on the Warrant Exercise Price.

1.2. Exercise Rate. The number of Shares issuable upon exercise of any Exercise Amount pursuant to Section 1.1 (the "Exercise Rate") shall be determined by dividing (x) the Exercise Amount by (y) the Warrant Exercise Price.

(a) "Exercise Amount" means the value of the Warrant Shares being exercised pursuant to a respective exercise determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price by the number of Warrant Shares being exercised.

(b) "Total Exercise Amount" means the aggregate sum of [$3,268,664.32], as reduced by the Exercise Amount of each exercise hereunder.

1.3. Procedure for Exercise. To exercise all or any portion of the Total Exercise Amount into Shares on any date (an "Exercise Date"), the party electing to cause such exercise shall (a) transmit by facsimile or otherwise in accordance with Section 7.2, for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Appendix I (the "Exercise Notice") to the other party (in the case of notice from Company, with appropriate changes to the form for exercise caused by Company rather than Holder), and (b) in the case of Holder, pay to Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Amount (the “Cash Payment”), and also cause this Warrant to be delivered to Company as soon as reasonably practicable on or following such date (but no later than within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Exercise Notice is given by the Company or Holder); provided, however, that if the Note is still outstanding, then (i) the Exercise Amount shall be offset and decreased by an equal amount of accrued, but unpaid, interest plus principal outstanding under the Note (the “Set-Off Amount”), and (ii) such amount of principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest outstanding under the Note shall be reduced by the Set-Off Amount. If the exercising party is Company and if the amount outstanding under the Note is less than the Exercise Amount, Holder shall make a Cash Payment to the Company in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Exercise Amount within fifty (50) days following the date on which the Exercise Notice is given and if such Cash Payment is not made within such fifty (50) day period and Holder does not make such Cash Payment within ten (10) days after delivery of written notice from Company that such Cash Payment has not been made, then this Warrant shall no longer be exercisable and shall be of no further force or effect with respect to the Warrant Shares subject to such portion of the Exercise Amount. On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the date of receipt of an Exercise Notice, the receiving party shall transmit by electronic mail to the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel of the other party a confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the transmitting party (at the electronic mail address provided in the Exercise Notice) and Company's transfer agent, if any. On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following the date of receipt or transmittal of an Exercise Notice and receipt by Company of the Exercise Amount (by payment in cash or Set-Off Amount) and this Warrant, Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice (if given by Holder, otherwise to the address of Holder as set forth in Company's records), a certificate, registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which Holder shall be entitled together with cash for any fractional interest. Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after receipt of this Warrant and the other items above and at its own expense, issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the outstanding Warrant Shares not exercised. With respect to exercises caused by Company, Company shall keep proper written records of the amount of this Warrant exercised as of each Exercise Date until this Warrant is delivered to Company. Except with respect to any failure to pay the Exercise Amount, the Person(s) entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon an exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Shares on the Exercise Date, notwithstanding when items other than the Exercise Notice are transmitted or delivered.

1.4. Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the Total Exercise Amount; and if at any time the number of Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the Total Exercise Amount, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.

2.1. Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, Company declares or pays a dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock payable in additional shares of the Common Stock or other securities (including rights to acquire securities), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number of shares of Common Stock or the total number and kind of other securities, as applicable, to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder held such Shares as of the date on which a record is taken for such dividend or other distribution. If Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the date on which a record is taken for such subdivision. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased as of the date on which a record is taken for such combination or consolidation.

2.2. Reorganization, Reclassification, Exchange, Conversion or Substitution. Upon any reorganization, reclassification (other than a subdivision, combination or consolidation referred to in Section 2.1), exchange, conversion, substitution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets followed by a liquidation of Company or similar event affecting the outstanding shares of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (“Reorganization Event”), Holder shall be entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation), upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately before such Reorganization Event, at an aggregate Warrant Exercise Price not exceeding the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior thereto. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Reorganization Event, the Holder may elect prior to the record date or consummation date (if there is no record date) of such Reorganization Event to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part to the extent then exercisable instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 2.2 with respect to this Warrant.

2.3. Distributions. If Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or other assets (excluding (a) evidences of indebtedness and other assets referred to in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 above or Section 2.8, and (b) dividends or distributions paid in cash), then in each such case the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Price determined as of the record date mentioned above and of which the numerator shall be the Closing Price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed with respect to one outstanding share of Common Stock. The net amount of any fair market value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Company Board and the Holder; provided, however, that if such net amount of fair market value received cannot be determined by the Company Board and Holder, then such net amount of fair market value received shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

2.4. Fractional Shares. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise or exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or exercise of this Warrant, Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder cash in the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the Closing Price of a full Share on the date of exercise.

2.5. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Common Stock and/or number of Shares, or upon the occurrence of any transaction or event described in this Section 2 (including, without limitation, the grant of new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of a Reorganization Event), Company shall promptly notify Holder thereof in writing, and, at Company's expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. In addition, Company shall promptly, following any such adjustment, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Exercise Price, Common Stock and number of Shares in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Exercise Price, Common Stock and number of Shares.

2.6. Additional Anti-Dilution Rights. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall also be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.6.

(a) Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 2.6(e) and except in the case of an event described in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, or Section 2.3, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 2.6(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including as a result of the issuance of Options and/or Convertible Securities) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Market Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Warrant Exercise Price equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction:

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided in Section 2.6(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(ii) the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 2.6(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2.6(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Exercise Price under Section 2.6(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.6(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2.6(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2.6(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.6(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(c)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.6(c).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) or Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) or Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) or Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2.6) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Warrant Exercise Price that was in effect at the time originally granted is reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6(b).

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 2.6(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the closing price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any consideration and the fair market value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Company Board and the Holder; provided, however, that if such net amount of cash consideration and/or fair market value received cannot be determined by the Company Board and Holder, then such net amount of consideration and/or fair market value received shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

(d) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Company Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 2; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) shall increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2. In addition, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and conditions and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

(e) Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuances.

2.7. Notices. In the event:

(b) of any Reorganization Event;

(d) that any other event occurs that would result in any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable to Holder pursuant to this Section 2;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder on the earlier of (i) at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for such event and (ii) the date upon which the Company sends such written notice to the other holders of Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) of such event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right along with copies of all relevant materials related to such event (including, without limitation, any indentures related to indebtedness distributed to stockholders), or (B) the effective date on which such Reorganization Event, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other Capital Stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other Capital Stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Reorganization Event, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares (including, without limitation, the number, class and series or other designation of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such Reorganization Event).

2.8. Purchase Rights. Without duplicating any purchase rights granted under the Investment Agreement or any other warrant or instrument, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 2, if at any time the Company grants or issues or sells Options or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

2.9. Limitation on Additional Anti-Dilution Rights and Purchase Rights.

The Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of Required Approval, if obtained, deliver to the Holder a certificate, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, certifying that the limitation contained in this Section 2.9 has been duly removed by the Company and is no longer applicable to this Warrant (except to the extent a separate stockholder vote is required under NASDAQ rules for any future offering pursuant to the Purchase Rights).

Any election by Elutions to include any Registrable Common Shares in the Piggyback Registration Statement will not affect the inclusion of such Registrable Common Shares in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable Common Shares have been sold under the Piggyback Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Common Shares in a Piggyback Registration Statement not involving an Underwritten Offering if such Registrable Common Shares are then registered in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement.

(b) The Company shall not be required under this Section 2 to include any Registrable Common Shares in an Underwritten Offering unless Elutions accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company, and, if requested, enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters, and furnishes to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request in writing for inclusion in the Piggyback Registration Statement, as the case may be; provided, however, that Elutions shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding Elutions, its holdings and its intended method of distribution. If Elutions does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Registrable Common Shares shall be excluded from such Underwritten Offering. If the managing underwriters of the Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise Elutions, and the number of shares of Registrable Common Shares that may be included in the Underwritten Offering shall be allocated in accordance with Section 2(c) and Section 2(d) below.

(c) If the Underwritten Offering is a primary offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters of such an Underwritten Offering give written notice to the Company that in their sole discretion the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number to be sold in such Underwritten Offering that is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will include in such Underwritten Offering (i) first, the greatest number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by the Company for its own account, (ii) second, the greatest number of shares of Registrable Common Shares requested to be included by Elutions and (iii) third, other shares of Common Stock requested to be included by other holders of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to any applicable rights, which, in the reasonable and good faith opinion of such managing underwriters will not jeopardize the success of the Underwritten Offering.

(d) If the Underwritten Offering is a secondary offering on behalf of one or more holders of Common Stock other than Registrable Common Shares and the managing underwriters of such an Underwritten Offering give written notice to the Company that in their sole discretion the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number to be sold in such Underwritten Offering that is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will include in such Underwritten Offering (i) first, the greatest number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by the holder(s) requesting such registration, (ii) second, the greatest number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by the Company for its own account, (iii) third, the greatest number of shares of Registrable Common Shares requested to be included by Elutions and (iv) fourth, other shares of Common Stock requested to be included by other holders of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to any applicable rights, which, in the reasonable and good faith opinion of such managing underwriters will not jeopardize the success of the Underwritten Offering.

(e) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration pursuant to this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration or the completion of the Underwritten Offering contemplated thereby whether or not Elutions has elected to include securities in such registration and/or Underwritten Offering.

(f) If Elutions disapproves of the terms of an Underwritten Offering, Elutions may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter delivered prior to the commencement of any marketing efforts for the Underwritten Offering. Elutions may agree to waive this right to withdraw with the Company, the underwriters or any custodial agent in any custody agreement and/or power of attorney executed by Elutions in connection with the underwriting. Any Registrable Common Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from such Registration Statement.

3. SHELF Registration STATEMENTS

As set forth in Section 4 hereof and subject to Section 5 hereof, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) subject to the receipt of necessary information in a timely manner from Elutions, prepare and file with the Commission, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the first Registration Triggering Event and not later than forty-five (45) days after each subsequent Registration Triggering Event, a registration statement for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act on Form S-3 (or, in the event the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3, such other registration form as may be utilized at such time by the Company) (each a “Shelf Registration Statement”) to enable the resale of the relevant Registrable Common Shares subject to such Registration Triggering Event by Elutions from time to time on the Nasdaq Global Market (or such other national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system in the United States of America on which the Registrable Common Shares are then principally traded), or in privately negotiated transactions, and excluding for the avoidance of doubt any resale in an Underwritten Offering;

(b) cause each such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable; and

(c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each such Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement current and effective for a period (the “Effectiveness Period”) until the earliest to occur of:

(i) the date when all Registrable Common Shares covered thereby have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or in accordance with Rule 144;

(ii) the date when there are no Registrable Common Shares outstanding;

(iii) the date on which Elutions and each Permitted Transferee is able to sell the outstanding Registrable Common Shares without restriction under SEC Rule 144(b)(1) as a Person that is not an “affiliate” of the Company (within the meaning of SEC Rule 144) or in a single transaction in compliance with the volume limitations under Rule 144(e), in each case as reasonably determined by Elutions acting in good faith after consultation with the Company and with legal counsel; or

(iv) February [__], 2021; provided that if the Company terminates such Shelf Registration Statements and removes from registration the Registrable Common Shares that remain unsold under such Shelf Registration Statements pursuant to this subsection (c)(iv), Elutions and the Permitted Transferees shall thereafter have a total two (2) demand rights to cause the Company to prepare and file and maintain for one year (upon exercise of each demand right) a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such demand right shall be exercised by providing written notice to the Company and may be exercised only if the Registrable Common Shares to be registered in such Shelf Registration Statement constitute at least five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. A demand notice given pursuant to this subsection (c)(iv) shall be a Registration Triggering Event for purposes of this Agreement.

4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

(a) In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to any registration pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall:

(i) no later than five (5) Business Days before filing of any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, furnish to Elutions copies of such Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement as proposed to be filed and thereafter such number of copies of such Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (including all exhibits thereto), and make appropriate revisions to such Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement based on information received a reasonable amount of time prior to filing from Elutions or its counsel;

(ii) subject to Section 5 hereof, use its best efforts to (1) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period; (2) cause the Prospectus contained therein to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act; and (3) incorporate the Company's reports under the Exchange Act by reference into each such Shelf Registration Statement (and if at any time the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3, amend each Shelf Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus contained therein to include the Company's quarterly and annual financial information and other material developments, during which time sales of the Registrable Common Shares under each such Shelf Registration Statement will be suspended until such new registration statement, amendment or supplement is filed and effective to the extent required by applicable law in the opinion of counsel to the Company);

(iii) furnish to Elutions such numbers of copies of each Piggyback Registration Statement and Shelf Registration Statement, each amendment thereto, each Prospectus, each supplement thereto and such other documents as Elutions may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of Registrable Common Shares;

(iv) use its best efforts to (1) register or qualify the Registrable Common Shares to be included in each Shelf Registration Statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Elutions shall reasonably request, and (2) keep such registrations or qualifications in effect during the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required for any such purpose to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction, subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction or register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify or register but for the requirements of this subsection, or consent or submit to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(v) notify Elutions forthwith (1) when each Piggyback Registration Statement and Shelf Registration Statement has become effective, when any post-effective amendments thereto have been filed and when any such post-effective amendments have become effective, (2) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (3) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments to any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or supplements to the related Prospectus or for additional information, or (4) of any event or circumstance which in the reasonable judgment of the Company necessitates the making of any changes in any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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 (which notice may be in the form of a Suspension Notice under Section 5(b) hereof);

(vi) use its best efforts to maintain the listing of the Registrable Common Shares on the Nasdaq Global Market or other national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is then principally listed or traded;

(vii) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Common Shares pursuant to any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, cooperate with Elutions to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of any certificates representing the Registrable Common Shares to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive transfer legends, and to enable such Registrable Common Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as Elutions may request, provided that Elutions shall have provided the Company in a timely manner with any documents that are reasonably requested by the Company;

(viii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Common Shares registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Common Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and

(ix) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

(b) Elutions represents and warrants to the Company that it has provided to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form provided by the Company and that the information provided in the questionnaire is true, complete and correct. Elutions further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all information required from time to time so that the information previously furnished by Elutions does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact regarding Elutions required to be stated in the Prospectus then being used or necessary to make the statements provided by Elutions contained in the Prospectus then being used, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company may require Elutions to furnish to the Company such information regarding the proposed distribution by Elutions of such Registrable Common Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request or as shall be required to effect and maintain the registration of the Registrable Common Shares.

(c) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4 with respect to the Registrable Common Shares that Elutions shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Common Shares held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Common Shares.

(d) Elutions represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it will not make any offer relating to the Registrable Common Shares that would constitute an "issuer free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a "free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission.

(e) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Commission determines or the Company determines in accordance with Commission policy or practice that any Shelf Registration Statement constitutes a primary offering of securities by the Company and/or requires that Elutions be named as an underwriter, Elutions understands and agrees that the Company may reduce the total number of Registrable Common Shares then subject to registration to comply with applicable law. In the event of such reduction, Elutions shall continue to have the registration rights set forth herein until the end of the Effectiveness Period. If the Company receives notice from the Commission that it deems Elutions an “underwriter”, the Company shall notify Elutions within five (5) business days of the date of receipt of such notice.

5. BLACK-OUT PERIOD.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to delay the filing or effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement, and following the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement to direct Elutions in accordance with Section 5(b) to suspend sales of the Registrable Common Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, for such times as the Company reasonably may determine are necessary and advisable, if any of the following events shall occur:

(i) the Company’s board of directors shall have determined in good faith that:

a. the Company desires to engage in a significant financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, consolidation or other significant transaction by or involving the Company,

b. the offer or sale of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement would require premature disclosure of material non-public information with respect to any such potential or proposed transaction, and

c. (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y) disclosure would be detrimental to the Company or would have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to consummate such transaction, or (z) the transaction renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement; or

(ii) the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith that such Shelf Registration Statement becoming effective or that sales of Registrable Common Shares under such Shelf Registration Statement would render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

In addition, the Company may direct Elutions in accordance with Section 5(b) to suspend sales of the Registrable Common Shares pursuant to each Shelf Registration Statement from time to time in connection with the giving of any notice by the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(a)(v)(3) or 4(a)(v)(4) hereof.

(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of any Shelf Registration Statement (a "Suspension Event"), the Company shall give written notice (a "Suspension Notice") to Elutions to suspend sales of the Registrable Common Shares. Elutions agrees not to effect any sales of the Registrable Common Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Elutions may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Common Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement following further written notice to such effect (an "End of Suspension Notice") from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to Elutions in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. The Company shall not be required to specify in the written notice to Elutions the nature of the event giving rise to the suspension period unless otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement. Elutions hereby agrees to hold in confidence any communications in response to a notice of, or the existence of any fact or any event giving rise to the suspension period.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section to the contrary, the period of time during which the use of the Shelf Registration Statements is suspended or the filing or effectiveness of them is delayed shall not exceed an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) days in any 12-month period and the Company shall not invoke this right more than three times in any 12-month period, and the Company agrees that it shall extend the Effectiveness Period by the number of such days during which the use of such Shelf Registration Statements is suspended or the filing or effectiveness of them is delayed.

6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Elutions, its officers, directors, partners, members, employees, Affiliates, stockholders, legal counsel, accountants and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) Elutions (each, a “Stockholder Indemnitee"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including reasonable fees of and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) to which such Stockholder Indemnitee may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto, any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iv) any violation or alleged violation by the Company (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Stockholder Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information relating to Elutions or such Stockholder Indemnitee furnished to the Company in writing by Elutions or any Stockholder Indemnitee expressly for use therein or (B) any sales of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to a Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement by Elutions or any Stockholder Indemnitee after the delivery by the Company to Elutions of a Suspension Notice and before the delivery by the Company of an End of Suspension Notice. The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Stockholder Indemnitee. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that a Stockholder Indemnitee is not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this Section 6, such Stockholder Indemnitee will promptly return all such sums that had been paid pursuant hereto.

(b) Elutions agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, stockholders, legal counsel, accountants and agents of the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Company and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information relating to Elutions or any Stockholder Indemnitee furnished to the Company in writing by Elutions or any Stockholder Indemnitee expressly for use in any Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus (or any supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus and (ii) any sales of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to a Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement by Elutions or any Stockholder Indemnitee after the delivery by the Company to Elutions of a Suspension Notice and before the delivery by the Company of an End of Suspension Notice. In no event shall Elutions be liable for indemnification under this Section in any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by Elutions and the Stockholder Indemnitees from the sale of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to such Piggyback Registration Statements or Shelf Registration Statements.

(c) If any action (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice, or from any liability that it may have to any such Indemnified Party otherwise than under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof), and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof and retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, or (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that a conflict may exist between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel), for all such Indemnified Parties, which firm in the case of Stockholder Indemnitees shall be designated in writing by Elutions, and which firm in the case of the Company, the directors, the officers and such control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company). With respect to any such proceeding as to which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. No Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities specifically covered by the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6(a) or 6(b), then each Indemnifying Party under such provisions, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party(ies) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above 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(ies) and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and any Stockholder Indemnitees on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Stockholder Indemnitees and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if such Indemnified Parties were treated as one entity for such purpose), or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act), shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall Elutions and the Stockholder Indemnitees be liable for contribution under this Section in any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by Elutions and the Stockholder Indemnitees from the sale of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to such Piggyback Registration Statements or Shelf Registration Statements.

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties referred to above. Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering under Section 2 or 3, the obligations of the parties hereto under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Common Shares, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. RULE 144 REPORTING

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Common Shares to the public without registration, the Company shall:

(a) use best efforts to make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the date hereof;

(b) use best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time that it is subject to the Exchange Act); and

(c) so long as Elutions owns any Registrable Common Shares, furnish to Elutions forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the Commission (at any time that it is subject to such reporting requirements), and (iii) such other information, reports and documents of the Company as Elutions may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a holder to sell any such Registrable Common Shares without registration.

8. RESTRICTIONS OF PUBLIC SALES.

Elutions shall:

(a) in the event the Company is registering the sale of equity securities in an Underwritten Offering and if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters for such Underwritten Offering, not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Common Shares, Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Registrable Common Shares or Common Stock (except for Registrable Common Shares included in such registration), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case for a period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of shares of its Common Stock or any other securities of the Company, under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0, or Form S-3 and ending ninety (90) days after the closing of such Underwritten Offering (or such other period as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter or underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in the FINRA rules or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), or such shorter period as may be permitted by the managing underwriters (and the managing underwriters are intended third party beneficiaries of this provision and may enforce this provision). The foregoing provisions of this Section 8(a) shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement in such Underwritten Offering, and shall be applicable to Elutions only if all senior officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions; and

(b) comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection with the offer and sale of Registrable Common Shares made by such Holder pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, and provide the Company with such information about such Holder's offer and sale of Registrable Common Shares pursuant to any registration statement as the Company shall reasonably request to enable the Company and its affiliates to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection with any such offer and sale.

(b) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor or in the Secured Party’s own name and hereby gives such attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice to or assent by the Pledgor, to the extent that the Pledgor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without the Pledgor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in the Pledgor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Pledgor’s signature.

Section 14. Remedies.

In addition, the Pledgor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.

Section 16. No Waiver by Secured Party, etc. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Secured Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Secured Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems expedient.
