Other than the Company SEC Documents, the Company has not distributed and will not distribute prior to the Closing Date any offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities. The Company has not taken any action to sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any securities of the Company which would bring the offer, issuance or sale of the Securities within the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act, unless such offer, issuance or sale was or shall be within the exemptions of Section 4 of the Securities Act.

2.10 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Company SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, proceeding nor investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries that (a) if adversely determined would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) would be required to be disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the requirements of Item 103 of Regulation S-K.

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has all necessary franchises, licenses, permits, certificates and other authorizations from any foreign, federal, state or local government or governmental agency, department or body that are currently necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently conducted, except where the failure to currently possess such franchises, licenses, certificates and other authorizations would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company is not aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of its internal controls; or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s or any of its subsidiary’s internal controls.

The Company and each of its subsidiaries is in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

All disclosures provided to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions noted in Section 2.33 above furnished by the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Company has exercised reasonable care, in accordance with SEC rules and guidance, and has conducted a factual inquiry, the nature and scope of which reflect reasonable care under the relevant facts and circumstances, to determine whether any Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, after conducting such sufficiently diligent factual inquiries, no Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event, except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. “Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act, including the Company; any predecessor or affiliate of the Company; any director, executive officer, other officer participating in the offering, general partner or managing member of the Company; any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power; any promoter (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of the sale of the Securities; and any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of the Securities (a “Solicitor”), any general partner or managing member of any Solicitor, and any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of any Solicitor or general partner or managing member of any Solicitor.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

3.1 Legal Power. The Purchaser has the requisite authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. All action on the Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement have been or will be effectively taken prior to the Closing.

3.2 Due Execution. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, except as rights to indemnity hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws and except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

3.3 Investment Representations. In connection with the sale and issuance of the Securities, the Purchaser, for itself and no other Purchaser, makes the following representations:

(a) Investment for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(b) Transfer Restrictions; Legends. The Purchaser understands that (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Purchasers in this Agreement, and that the Securities must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely, and that the Purchaser must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each Certificate representing Securities will be endorsed or notated with the following legend until the date the Shares are eligible for sale without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO EITHER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(iv) the Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Securities (or any portion thereof) until the applicable date set forth in clause (iii) above unless (A) the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied, (B) if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or this Agreement, (C) if the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurance, such as through a representation letter, that the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (D) other reasonably satisfactory assurances of such nature are given to the Company. If so required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue and deliver a legal opinion to the transfer agent to effect the removal of the restrictive legend contemplated by this Agreement.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer shall not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Shareholders thereunder.

Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any restrictive legend (including the legend set forth in this Section): (i) following a resale of the Shares under an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the Shares, or (ii) following a sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) while such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 and, with respect to any Purchaser’s Shares, such Purchaser is not and has not been for three months an affiliate of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1)) and such Shares have been held for one year or more pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144 and any other requirements under Rule 144 have been satisfied at such time, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on Certificates representing Shares, the Company will, no later than three business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a Certificate representing Shares containing a restrictive legend and such other documentation and representations as the Company, its legal counsel or Transfer Agent may reasonably request to confirm compliance with the preceding sentence as applicable (provided, however, that neither the Company nor its legal counsel will require a legal opinion in connection with any sale pursuant to Rule 144), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a Certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company system unless a Purchaser provides alternate written instructions. The Company will pay all fees and expenses of its transfer agent and the Depository Trust Company in connection with the removal of legends pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from Certificates representing Shares as set forth in this Section 3.3(b) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

(c) Financial Sophistication; Due Diligence. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Such Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the Securities, relied only upon the representations and warranties contained herein and the information contained in the Company SEC Documents. Further, the Purchaser has had such opportunity to obtain additional information and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the investment and the business and affairs of the Company, as the Purchaser considers necessary in order to form an investment decision.

(d) Accredited Investor Status. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

(e) Residency. If the Purchaser is an entity, the Purchaser is organized under the laws of the jurisdiction set forth beneath such Purchaser’s name on the signature page attached hereto, and its principal place of operations is in the state set forth beneath such Purchaser’s name on the signature page attached hereto.

(f) General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

3.4 No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in the Company SEC Documents, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

3.5 Additional Acknowledgement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other person. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Placement Agent has acted solely as placement agent for the Company in connection with the Offering of the Securities by the Company, that the information and data provided to the Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby has not been subjected to independent verification by the Placement Agent, and that the Placement Agent has made no representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the accuracy or completeness of such information, data or other related disclosure material. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has not taken any actions that would deem the Purchasers to be members of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

3.6 Limited Ownership. The purchase of the Securities issuable to each Purchaser at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other person or entity with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, along or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other persons or entities have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of the Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred.

3.7 No Short Position. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person or entity acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including short sales as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (“Short Sales”), of the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof (“Discussion Time”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction, the acquisition of Target and the Company’s new credit facility). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.

4. Conditions to Closing.

4.1 Conditions to Obligations of Purchasers at Closing. Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Securities at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing, of all of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by the Purchaser:

(i) Upon the mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchasers;

(ii) By the Company if any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Company;

(iii) By a Purchaser (with respect to itself only) if any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by the Purchaser; or

(iv) By either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to December 1, 2016;

provided, however, that, in the case of clause (iii) above and clause (iv) with respect to the Company, the party seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing shall not then be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement if such breach has resulted in the circumstances giving rise to such party’s seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing.

Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

5. Additional Covenants.

5.1 Reporting Status. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act. The Company will otherwise take such further action as a Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time, to enable such Purchaser to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act or any successor rule or regulation adopted by the SEC. If, at any time during the period commencing from the six-month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all Registrable Securities (as defined below) may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 (the “144 Sale Date”), the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, then the Company shall, on the business day immediately following such failure and each 30^th day thereafter until the 144 Sale Date, make a payment to the Purchasers as partial liquidated damages for such failure equal to 1% of the Purchase Price paid for the Shares then owned by the Purchasers up to a maximum of 12.0% of the Purchase Price for such Registrable Securities. Payments pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be prorated on a daily basis during each 30-day period and will be paid to the Purchasers by wire transfer or check within five business days after the earlier of (i) the end of each 30-day period following such failure to satisfy the current public information requirement or (ii) the 144 Sale Date. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchasers, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

5.2 Listing. So long as a Purchaser owns any of the Securities, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the qualification or listing of its Common Stock, including the Shares, on the Principal Market or an alternative listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules of such exchanges, as applicable.

5.3 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in this Agreement to a number of shares or price per share shall be amended appropriately to account for such event.

5.4 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. Furthermore, if the Company has disclosed any material non-public information to the Purchaser, the Purchaser has no duty to keep such information confidential following the public announcement of the Offering.

5.5 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder) shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities of the Company or otherwise.

5.6 Restriction on Future Issuances. Unless otherwise waived by holders of a majority of the Shares sold in this Offering:

(a) The Company will not, from the date of this Agreement through the date that is 45 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Lock-Up Period”), (a) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (b) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, except for (x) grants of options, shares of Common Stock and other awards to purchase or receive shares of Common Stock under the Company’s equity incentive plans that are in effect as of or prior to the date hereof or (y) issuances of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of securities outstanding as of the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of such securities in effect on the date hereof or upon the exercise of options or other awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

(b) The Company agrees not to accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

(c) In addition, from the Closing Date of the Offering until 45 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will not issue or agree to issue more than (i) such number of shares as is equal in value to $1,000,000 of (a) Common Stock or (b) any securities of the Company or any subsidiary that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock, entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock, in the case of each of (i)(a) and (i)(b) above at an effective price per share of at least $1.15, and (ii) such number of shares as is equal in value to $5,000,000 of (a) Common Stock or (b) any securities of the Company or any subsidiary that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock, entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock, in the case of each of (ii)(a) and (ii)(b) above at an effective price per share of at least $2.00.

Notwithstanding this Section 5.6, the Company shall not be restricted from issuing shares of Common Stock, or registering with the SEC the sale or resale of shares of Common Stock, in connection with the SPA and any agreement contemplated thereby, provided, however, that the registration statement for such shares shall not be filed earlier than sixty (60) days following the effective date of the registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock sold hereunder.

6. Registration Rights.

6.1 Registration Procedures and Expenses; Liquidated Damages for Certain Events.

(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable following Closing, but in no event later than 45 days following the date hereof (the “Initial Filing Date”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “S-3 Registration Statement”) and use all commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than 90 days following the date hereof (or 120 days in the event of a full review of the S-3 Registration Statement by the SEC), effect such registration and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) the Shares and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any Shares. In the event that Form S-3 (or any successor form) is or becomes unavailable to register the resale of the Registrable Securities at any time prior to the Initial Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing but in no event later than the Initial Filing Date, a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any successor to Form S-1), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “S-1 Registration Statement” and collectively the S-3 Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”) and use all commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than 120 days following the date hereof (150 days in the event of a full review of the S-1 Registration Statement by the SEC), to effect such registration and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers. If the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 at the Initial Filing Date, and the Company subsequently becomes eligible to use Form S-3 during the Effectiveness Period (as defined below), the Company shall file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, a new S-3 Registration Statement, or if available, an amendment to the Form S-1, covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and replace the S-1 Registration Statement with the new S-3 Registration Statement or amended Form S-1, as the case may be, upon the effectiveness of the new S-3 Registration Statement.

(b) The Company shall, during the Effectiveness Period (as hereinafter defined), use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary or advisable to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for the Registrable Securities held by a Purchaser for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor rule (“Rule 144”) during any three-month period without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or (iii) such time as all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 (collectively, the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall notify each Purchaser promptly upon the Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, being declared effective by the SEC and advise each Purchaser that the form of Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, at the time of effectiveness meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act or that it intends to file a Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act;

(ii) furnish to the Purchaser promptly with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including supplemental prospectuses and amendments) filed with the SEC in conformance with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser;

(iii) make any necessary blue sky filings;

(iv) pay the expenses incurred by the Company and the Purchasers in complying with this Section 6, including, all registration and filing fees, FINRA fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding attorneys’ fees of any Purchaser and any and all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by the Purchasers);

(v) advise the Purchasers, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued; and

(vi) with a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as such term is understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Registrable Securities qualify to be resold immediately pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect during any three-month period without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold pursuant to Rule 144 (and may be further resold without restriction); (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to the Purchaser upon request, as long as the Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) if not available on the SEC XXXXX system, a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

The Company understands that each Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but acknowledges that a determination by the SEC that a Purchaser is deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder.

(c) If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Initial Filing Date, or (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of the Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act, within five Trading Days, as defined below, after the date the Company is first notified (orally or in writing) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review or comment, or (iii) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within 21 days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment or resolution of such comments is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the date that is 90 days after the date hereof, or 120 days after the date hereof in the event of a full review of the Registration Statement by the SEC (the “Required Effective Date”), or (v) there occurs a Suspension (or part thereof) (as defined below) that does not constitute a Qualifying Suspension (as defined below) or (vi) at any time during the period commencing from the six month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time, the Company shall fail to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (any of the foregoing being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i), (iv) and (vi), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such 21 day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which the applicable 30 or 45 day period is exceeded being the “Event Date”), then except during any period of time during which the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations, in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities affected by such Event and held by such Purchaser on such Event Date or monthly anniversary thereof, up to a maximum of 12.0% of the Purchase Price for such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no amount arising under subsection (vi) above shall be payable in duplication of any amount payable under Section 5.1. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. A “Trading Day” is any day of the year that the Principal Market is open for trading of the Common Stock.

6.2 Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension.

(a) Except in the event that Section 6.2(b) applies, the Company shall during the Effectiveness Period: (i) if deemed necessary or advisable by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Purchasers copies, or access to copies, of any documents filed pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i); and (iii) upon request, inform each Purchaser who so requests that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 6.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Purchaser to that effect, will use its reasonable best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i) when the amendment has become effective).

(b) Subject to Section 6.1(c), in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 omit 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; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to the Purchasers (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchasers will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchasers are advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and have received copies, or access to copies, from the Company of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchasers. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Company and the Purchaser, the Company and the Purchasers shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the other party fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.2(b).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6.2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that (i) a Suspension shall not exceed 30 days individually, (ii) Suspensions covering no more than 45 days, in the aggregate, shall occur during any twelve month period and (iii) each Suspension shall be separated by a period of at least 30 days from a prior Suspension (each Suspension that satisfies the foregoing criteria being referred to herein as a “Qualifying Suspension”).

(d) During the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall cause Certificates evidencing the Registrable Securities not to contain any restrictive legend (including the legend set forth in Section 3.3(b)): (i) following a resale of the Shares under an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering such Registrable Securities, or (ii) following a sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) while such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 and, with respect to any Purchaser’s Shares, such Purchaser is not and has not been for three months an affiliate of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1)) and such Shares have been held for one year or more pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144 and any other requirements under Rule 144 have been satisfied at such time, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on Certificates representing Shares, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a Certificate representing Registrable Securities containing a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a Certificate representing such Registrable Securities that is free from all restrictive legends. Promptly after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company will cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the restrictive legend contemplated by this Agreement upon request by a Purchaser in connection with a sale of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Registration Statement, which opinion will not include the resale of shares issued as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of Target pursuant to the SPA. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement. Certificates for Registrable Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company system unless a Purchaser provides alternate written instructions.

6.3 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 6.3:

(a) the term “Selling Shareholder” shall mean a Purchaser, its general partners, managing members, managers, executive officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls that Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act;

(b) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement (or deemed to be a part thereof) referred to in Section 6.1; and

(c) the term “untrue statement” shall mean any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement 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.

(d) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Shareholder from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Selling Shareholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, (ii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or (iii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Shareholder for any reasonable legal expense or other actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Selling Shareholder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained herein or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Selling Shareholder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Selling Shareholder.

(e) Each Purchaser severally (as to itself), and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement if, and only if, such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of that Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and that Purchaser will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person, as the case may be), for any reasonable legal expense or other actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. The obligation to indemnify shall be limited to the net amount of the proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(f) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 6.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 6.3. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof (unless it has failed to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party), such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel (who shall not be the same as the opining counsel) at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(g) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (d) or (e) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the liable Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the liable Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (g) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (g). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (g) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (g), no Purchasers shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by that Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which that Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay to the Company by reason of such untrue statement. 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. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Registrable Securities to which such loss relates and not joint.

(h) The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 6.3, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 6.3 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(i) The obligations of the Company and of the Purchasers under this Section 6.3 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement for a period of two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

6.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 3 or this Section 6 upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities when such Registrable Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act. The Company shall request an opinion of counsel promptly upon receipt of a request therefor from a Purchaser.

6.5 Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Registrable Securities owned by a Purchaser, the Company will furnish (or, to the extent such information is available electronically through the Company’s filings with the SEC, the Company will make available via the SEC’s XXXXX system or any successor thereto) to each Purchaser:

(a) as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

(b) upon the request of the Purchaser, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(ii) of this Section 6.5 as filed with the SEC and all other information that is made available to shareholders; and

(c) upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of a Purchaser, will meet with each Purchaser or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters during the Company’s normal business hours to discuss all information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the Purchasers’ exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to or meet at its headquarters with a Purchaser until and unless that Purchaser shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with the Company with respect thereto.

6.6 Public Statements; Limitation on Information. The Company shall (A) by no later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fourth Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the Offering and (B) file a Current Report on Form 8-K within the time required by and in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the Offering. Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any other press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company and the Placement Agent, which consents in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not make any public disclosure listing a Purchaser as one of the purchasers of the Securities without that Purchaser’s prior written consent, except as may be required by applicable law or rules of any exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

6.7 Protection of Exemptions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.6, the Company will not, for a period of six months following the Closing Date offer for sale or sell any securities unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such offer or sale does not jeopardize the availability of exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements under applicable securities laws with respect to the Offering. Except for the issuance of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of common stock upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the issuance of common stock purchase warrants, the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the SPA, and the offering contemplated hereby, the Company has not engaged in any offering of equity securities during the six months prior to the date of this Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7 shall not prevent the Company from filing a “shelf” registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, but the foregoing provisions shall apply to any sale of securities thereunder.

6.8 Form D and State Securities Filings. The Company will file with the SEC a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with respect to the Securities, as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act, no later than 15 days after the Closing Date. The Company will promptly and timely file all documents and pay all filing fees required by any states’ securities laws in connection with the sale of Securities.

6.9 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6 may be assigned by a Purchaser to a party that acquires, other than pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, any of the Registrable Securities originally issued or issuable to such Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement, or to any affiliate of a Purchaser that acquires any Registrable Securities. Any such permitted assignee shall have all the rights of such Purchaser under this Section 6 with respect to the Registrable Securities transferred during the Effectiveness Period.

6.10 Selling Shareholder Questionnaire. Each Purchaser agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (a “Selling Holder Questionnaire”). The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Purchaser in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any liquidated or other damages hereunder to any such Purchaser who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least three business days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement.

7.5 Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), with the written consent of the Company and each Purchaser. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.5 shall be binding upon any holder of any Securities purchased under this Agreement, each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.

Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

15. We are registering for resale by the selling shareholders and certain transferees a total of _________ shares of common stock, of which _______ shares are issued and outstanding. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock. If the shares of common stock are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the selling shareholder will be responsible for any compensation to such broker-dealers or agents.

16. The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.

17. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

18. The selling shareholders will sell their shares of common stock subject to the following:

all of a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling shareholders or their perspective pledgees, donees, transferees or successors in interest, may be sold on the OTC Bulletin Board Market, any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, short sales or in a combination of such transactions;

each sale may be made at market price prevailing at the time of such sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices or at carrying prices determined at the time of sale;

some or all of the shares of common stock may be sold through one or more broker-dealers or agents and may involve crosses, block transactions or hedging transactions. The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or agents, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock to close out short positions or loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers or agents that in turn may sell such shares;

in connection with such sales through one or more broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they act as broker-dealer or agent or to whom they sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transaction involved). Any broker-dealer or agent participating in any such sale may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and will be required to deliver a copy of this prospectus to any person who purchases any share of common stock from or through such broker-dealer or agent. We have been advised that, as of the date hereof, none of the selling shareholders have made any arrangements with any broker-dealer or agent for the sale of their shares of common stock; and

in connection with any other sales or transfers of common stock not prohibited by law.

19. The selling shareholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by the selling shareholders and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A selling shareholder may also transfer, devise or gift the shares of common stock by other means not covered in this prospectus in which case the transferee, devisee or giftee will be the selling shareholder under this prospectus.

20. If required at the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statements of which this prospectus is a part, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-deals or agents, any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

21. Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

22. The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will bear all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with the state securities of “blue sky” laws. The selling shareholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, as well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts for the selling shareholders, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreement or the selling shareholder will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholders for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related securities purchase agreement or will be entitled to contribution. Once sold under this shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
