The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. The Company is duly qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity (as applicable) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company in connection therewith. This Agreement has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(i) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (A) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or comparable organizational documents of the Company thereof; (B) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect to, any term or provision of any contract, commitment, right or other obligation to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is a party or is subject; or (C) violate or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any law or other restriction of any governmental authority to which the Company is subject, except with respect to clauses (B) and (C), for violations, breaches, conflicts, defaults, terminations, cancellations or accelerations as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require any consent, authorization or approval from any third party or any governmental authority on the part of the Company or its Affiliates.

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental authority or other authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations).

(e) Capitalization.

(i) As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted of 20,000,000 shares of the Common Stock, of which there were 13,822,918 shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 3014, and 150,000 Preferred Shares, par value $0.01 per share, of which there are zero shares issued or outstanding.

No holders of securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, and no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The issue and sale of the Common Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares of the Company Stock or other securities to any Person (other than Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of the Company securities to

adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any option, right or warrant to acquire (or any similar instrument), or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, the Company Stock.

(f) Issuance of the Common Shares and Convertible Debenture. The Common Shares and Convertible Debenture have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all Liens. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement in order to issue the Common Shares and the Convertible Debenture.

As of the time of their respective filing or furnishing (or if amended or superseded by a later filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of later such filing), the Company SEC Reports (i) were or will be prepared in accordance with and complied or will comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the Company thereunder applicable to such the Company SEC Reports, and (ii) did not or will not (or if amended or superseded by a later filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such later filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a 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.

The Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any of its securities registered with the Company or any other governmental authority that have not been satisfied.

(i) Listing Compliance. The Company is in compliance in all respects with the requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed. The issuance and sale of the Common Stock to the Purchaser under this Agreement (including any Common Shares into which the Convertible Debenture is convertible) does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed, and no approval of the stockholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Purchaser the Common Stock or the Convertible Debenture contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Certificates evidencing the Common Shares and Convertible Debenture will bear the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING SUCH SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.

(c) Certificates evidencing Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale, transfer or other disposition of such Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement (including a Registration Statement), or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferee is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) while such Shares are eligible for sale or transfer under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if the transferor provides to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that no legend is required for purposes of the Securities Act.

(e) Material Non-Public Information. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has material non-public information with respect to a public company from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

(f) Listing of the Common Stock. The Company agrees (i) it will take all action necessary to list the Common Stock and the Common Shares into which the Convertible Debenture is convertible on the applicable Trading Market and to continue the listing and trading of its Company Shares (and the Common Stock) on a Trading Market and (ii) if required, prior to Closing the Company will submit an Additional Listing Application with the NASDAQ Capital Market with respect to the issuance of the Common Shares. If the Company applies to have its Common Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Common Stock issued to the Purchaser and the Common Shares into which the Convertible Debenture is convertible, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock issued to the Purchaser and the Common Shares into which the Convertible Debenture is convertible to be listed on such other Trading Market contemporaneously with the listing of the Common Shares, or as promptly thereafter as practicable.

(g) Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing.
