The Investor has not been formed solely for the purpose of making this investment and is purchasing the Securities for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Investor is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

4.4 Access to Information. Such Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Investor. Such Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.

Such Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 4.6; provided, that in order to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Securities, such Investor and its pledgee makes such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

4.7 Legends. Such Investor understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes and the Warrants and the stock certificates representing the Note Shares and the Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

SECTION 5

Certain Agreements

5.1 Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) Registration Requirements. If, at any time, the Company files a registration statement after the execution of this Agreement if, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor form of limited purpose), the Company will give notice at least 20 days prior to the filing of each such registration statement to the Investor or the holder of the Note Shares or Warrant Shares as applicable (collectively the “Conversion Shares”) of its intention to effect such a registration and will include in such registration all Conversion Shares with respect to which the Company has received requests for inclusion therein within 10 days after receipt of the Company's notice. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Investor’s securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including the Conversion Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including the Conversion Shares, which the underwriters and the Company determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering.

(b) The Company shall use its best efforts to:

(i) furnish to the Investor with respect to the Conversion Shares registered under the registration statement such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus (including supplemental prospectuses) filed with the SEC in conformance with the requirements of the Securities Act and other such documents as the Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Conversion Shares by the Investor;

(ii) make any necessary blue sky filings to permit the Conversion Shares to be sold in any state requested by the Investor;

(iii) pay the expenses incurred by the Company and the Investor in complying with this Section 5.1, 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 (and including attorneys’ fees of one counsel to the Investor, but excluding any and all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Conversion Shares by the Investor);

(iv) advise the Investor, 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 commercially 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

(v) with a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell Conversion Shares to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Conversion Shares qualify to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 within any 90 day period without restriction or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Conversion Shares shall have been resold; (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 Investor upon request, as long as the Investor owns any Conversion Shares, (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) 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 Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Conversion Shares without registration.

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

(i) the term “Selling Shareholder” shall mean the Investor, its executive officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act;

(ii) 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 this section; and

(iii) 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) The Investor 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, 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, (i) any failure by that Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein or (ii) 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 the Investor specifically for use (and identified as such) in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person, as the case may be), for any reasonable legal expense or other reasonable 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 Investor from the sale of the Common Shares 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 5.1, 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 5.1 (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 5.1(c). 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 5.1 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 Investor 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 Investor 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 Investor agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (g) were determined by pro rata allocation 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), Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Conversion Shares to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which the Investor 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.

(h) The Company, and the Investor by its acceptance of 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 5.1, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 5.1 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 Company may request the Investor to furnish the Company with such information with respect to the Investor and the Investor’s proposed distribution of securities being purchased hereunder pursuant to the Company Registration Statement, as applicable, as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and the Investor agrees to furnish the Company with such information as a condition to the inclusion of any of the Investor’s Securities in such Company Registration Statement.

(j) The obligations of the Company and of the Investor under this Section 5.1 shall survive completion of any offering of Conversion Shares 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.

(iii) “Subsequent Placement” means the issuance, sale, exchange, or agreement or obligation to issue, sell or exchange or reserve, or agreement to or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange any shares of Common Stock (or securities or rights convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, directly or indirectly, for Common Stock) that are offered or sold by the Company for a per share price that is less than the Stated Conversion Price (proportionately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar event); provided, however, that the issuance or sale, or agreement to issue or sell, an Excluded Security shall not constitute a Subsequent Placement.

(b) Offered Securities. From the Closing Date through the earlier to occur of: (i) when I2BF’s Warrants are no longer outstanding and have either been exercised or have expired, or (ii) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect a Subsequent Placement, unless in each such case the Company shall have first offered to sell to I2BF its Pro Rata Share of the securities being offered in such Subsequent Placement (the securities being offered to I2BF being referred to herein as the “Offered Securities”). The Company shall offer to sell to I2BF its Pro Rata Share of the Offered Securities, at a price and on such other terms as in the Subsequent Placement generally and as shall have been specified by the Company in writing delivered to I2BF (the “Offer”), which Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of not less than fifteen (15) Days from I2BF’s receipt of the terms of the Offer in writing (the “Offer Period”).

(e) Reduction in Amount of Offered Securities. In the event that the Company proposes to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 5.2(d) above), then I2BF may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, reduce the number or other units of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount which shall be not less than the amount of the Offered Securities which I2BF elected to purchase pursuant to Section 5.2(c) above multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the amount of Offered Securities which the Company actually proposes to sell, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the amount of all Offered Securities. In the event that I2BF so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than the reduced amount of the Offered Securities until such securities have been reoffered to I2BF in accordance herewith.

Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to either party to this Agreement upon any breach or default of the other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-defaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party to this Agreement, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

8.7 Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted to enforce any provisions in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

Each party hereto (including its affiliates, agents, officers, directors and employees) hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

8.9 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

8.10 Successors and Assigns.

Prior to presentation of any Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Subject to any restrictions on or conditions to transfer set forth in any Note, the holder of any Note, at its option, may in person or by duly authorized attorney surrender the same for exchange at the Company’s chief executive office, and promptly thereafter and at the Company’s expense, except as provided below, receive in exchange therefor one or more new Note(s), each in the principal amount requested by such holder, dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on the Note so surrendered or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of the Note so surrendered and registered in the name of such Person or Persons as shall have been designated in writing by such holder or its attorney for the same principal amount as the then unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and (i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Note executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on such Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of such Note.

If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
