(a) Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have any collective bargaining arrangements or agreements covering any of their employees, and there is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, which could have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have any employment contract, or any other similar contract relating to the right of any officer, employee or consultant to be employed or engaged by the Company or such Subsidiary. Since December 31, 2013, no officer, consultant or employee of the Company or its Subsidiary whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a Material Adverse Effect, has terminated or, to the knowledge of the Company, has any present intention of terminating his or her employment or engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company is not delinquent in payments to any of its employees or independent contractors for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses or any other compensation for any service performed for it to the date hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.14, upon termination of employment of any Company employee no severance or other payments will become due.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, as to itself, the following:

3.1 Investment Status.

(a) The Purchaser is purchasing the Convertible Preferred Shares for its own account, for investment only and not with a view to, or any present intention of, effecting a distribution of such securities or any part thereof except pursuant to a registration or an available exemption under applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Convertible Preferred Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and cannot be disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

3.2 Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Convertible Preferred Shares.

3.3 Opportunities for Additional Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of the Purchaser’s personal knowledge of the Company's affairs, the Purchaser has asked such questions and received in writing answers to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to invest in the Company.

3.4 No General Solicitation. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Convertible Preferred Shares were not offered to him by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (a) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (b) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

3.5 Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that the Convertible Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that he is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the SEC, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, and that he has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. The Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, the Purchaser will be unable to sell any Convertible Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

3.6 No Shorting. The Purchaser has not engaged in any short sales of the Common Stock or instructed any third parties to engage in any short sales of the Common Stock on his behalf prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will not be in a net short position with respect to the shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.6, a "net short position" means a sale of Common Stock by a Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser.

3.7 General. The Purchaser understands that the Convertible Preferred Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Convertible Preferred Shares.

3.8 Investment Banking; Brokerage Fees. The Purchaser has not incurred or become liable for any investment banking fees, brokerage commissions, broker’s or finder’s fees or similar compensation (exclusive of professional fees to lawyers and accountants) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.9 Exculpation Among Purchasers. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Purchaser agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the respective controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Convertible Preferred Shares.

Section 6. Covenants.

The Company covenants with each of the Purchaser and the Investor, as applicable as follows, which covenants are for the benefit of the Purchasers and the Investor, as applicable:

6.1 Series C-3 Preferred Offering. The Company covenants that it will, at any time or times on or before the 180thday following the Closing, use commercially reasonable efforts to sell to additional investors in the Series C-3 Preferred Offering (the “Additional Purchasers”) up to $1,000,000 of Series C-3 Stock at a price, not less than $0.25 per share, to be determined by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) prior to the filing of the Series C-3 Amendment, which shall be at a discount from market no greater than the discount to market of the Series C-2 Preferred at Closing based on a 15 day trailing closing price or bid price if no transactions took place (the “Series C-3 Price”); provided that if the sale of Series C-3 Stock (or some portion of the Series C-3 Stock) during such period could result in an “ownership change”, as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which would jeopardize the Company’s ability to fully utilize its net operating loss carryforwards (an “Ownership Change”) then the Company shall not have the obligation to sell the Series C-3 Stock (or that portion of the Series C-3 Stock) until such time during that period at which an Ownership Change would not occur. Promptly following the determination of the Series C-3 Price the Company shall inform the Purchasers of the Series C-3 Price and, thereafter and prior to the offering of Series C-3 Stock, shall file the Series C-3 Amendment in the same form attached as Exhibit A-2 but for inclusion of the Series C-3 Price and the number of shares of Series C-3 Stock that are authorized and no other changes. All sales of Series C-3 Stock at the Series C-3 Price made at any additional closings shall be made on the terms and conditions permitted by this Agreement.
