NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Amount of Common Stock; Terms of Warrant
1.1 Common Stock. Subject to the conditions and on the terms of this Section 1.1, the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, shares of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”), of the higher of (i) $0.40 per share, and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock the 10th day of which shall be the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the date of each respective drawdown notice (the “Drawdown Notice”). Trading Day shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The Drawdown Notice shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall specify the amount of proceeds to be received by the Company from the Investor (the “Drawdown”) and be subject to approval of the Investor as specified in Section 6.3 of this Agreement. The aggregate maximum amount of Common Stock that the Investor shall be obligated to invest pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed Seven Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,800,000) (the “Commitment Amount”) during the two (2) years following the date of this Agreement (the “Commitment Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall have sole discretion to issue and sell the Company’s Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the Investor shall have no right to acquire the Securities from the Company, as such right is defined in Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), until a Drawdown Notice is received from the Company.
1.2 Warrant. For each share of the Company’s Common Stock purchased by the Investor, the Company shall deliver one Warrant to the Investor, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Each Warrant shall be exercisable for one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Purchase Price for each respective Drawdown Notice during an exercise period of five (5) years.
2. Mechanics of Drawdown.
2.1 Drawdown Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period, the Company may request the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock by delivering a Drawdown Notice to the Investor; provided, however, the aggregate amount of all Drawdowns received during the Commitment Period shall not exceed the Commitment Amount.

Investor is not an officer, director or a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company or any “Affiliate” of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act).
4.6 Regulation S.

(b) Investor is not deemed to be a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S and is not acquiring the Securities for the account of any U.S. person. If the Investor is a corporation, it (i) is not organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (ii) is not acquiring the Securities for the account of any U.S. person; (iii) has no director or executive officer who is a national or citizen of the United States; and (is) is not otherwise deemed to be a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Regulation S.

4
(e) The offer leading to the sale evidenced hereby was made in an “offshore transaction.” For purposes of Regulation S, Investor understands that an “offshore transaction” as defined under Regulation S is any offer or sale not made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order is originated, the purchaser is outside the United States, or the seller or any person acting on his behalf reasonably believes that the purchaser is outside the United States; or (B) for purposes of (1) Rule 903 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, or on or through a physical trading floor of an established foreign exchange that is located outside the United States or (2) Rule 904 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market, and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States.
(f) Neither Investor nor any affiliate of the undersigned or any person acting on its behalf, has made or is aware of any “directed selling efforts” in the United States, which is defined in Regulation S to be any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the Securities being purchased hereby.
(g) Investor understands that the Company is the seller of the Securities and that, for purpose of Regulation S, a “distributor” is any underwriter, dealer or other person who participates, pursuant to a contractual arrangement, in the distribution of securities offered or sold in reliance on Regulation S and that an “affiliate” is any partner, officer, director or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person in question. Investor agrees that he will not, during the Restricted Period set forth under Rule 903(b)(iii)(A), act as a distributor, either directly or through any affiliate, nor shall it sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the Securities other than to a non-U.S. Person.
(h) Investor acknowledges that the Company is relying on the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments in this Section 4.6 to ensure that any the Securities issued under the terms of this Agreement can be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration requirements under United States federal and state securities laws.
4.7 Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering based upon the exemption from such registration requirements for non-public offerings pursuant to Regulation S under the Act; and that such Securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they have been first registered under the Act and all applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from such registration provisions are available with respect to said resale or transfer of such securities.

4.8 Access to Information. Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
4.9 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 4.9 and:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) (i) Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act.
