The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market.

(a)

Organization; Authority. Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of the Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b)

Own Account. Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities at the Initial Closing as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

(c)

Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(e)

General Solicitation. 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 television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1

Transfer Restrictions.

(a)

The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, as to issued Securities only.

(b)

The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the 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, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

(c)

Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 and the current information requirements required pursuant to Rule 144 are then met, 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 Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. All Draw Down Shares shall be delivered without any 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 Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.

(d)

In addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Company’s transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

(e)

Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus

delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

4.2

Furnishing of Information. As long as Purchaser owns any Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as the Purchaser owns any Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

4.3

Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.5

Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.

4.6

Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and

agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of the Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by the Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VI.
DRAW DOWN TERMS

6.1

Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

(a)

The Company may, in its sole discretion, issue and exercise draw downs against the Commitment Amount (each a “Draw Down”) during the Commitment Period, which Draw Downs the Purchaser shall be obligated to accept, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Before the Company shall exercise a Draw Down, the Company shall have caused a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to be

registered to cover the resale of the Draw Down Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down.

(b)

Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing Period and any subsequent Draw Down Pricing Period shall not commence until the Trading Cushion has elapsed since the end of the previous Draw Down Pricing Period. The number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser with respect to each Draw Down shall be determined as set forth in Section 6.1(d) herein. Each Draw Down Pricing Period shall be comprised of settlement periods which shall each be comprised of three Trading Days (each such period, a “Settlement Period”) whereby the final Settlement Period shall consist of the first, second and third Trading Days following the Draw Down Pricing Period, the second Settlement Period shall consist of the fourth, fifth and sixth Trading Days of the Draw Down Pricing Period and the third Settlement Period shall consist of the seventh, eighth and ninth Trading Days of the Draw Down Pricing Period. Each Draw Down shall be settled on the second Trading Day following the end of the applicable Settlement Period (each such settlement date shall be referred to as a “Settlement Date”).

(c)

The maximum Investment Amount as to each Draw Down shall be equal to A multiplied by B, where A equals a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the total trading volume during the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period and B equals the average of each of the VWAPs during such 10 Trading Day period; provided, however, unless mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser, no Draw Down shall exceed $300,000.

(d)

The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on each Settlement Date shall be a number of shares equal to the sum of the quotients (for each Trading Day within the Settlement Period) of (x) 1/9^th of the Investment Amount divided by (y) the Purchase Price on each Trading Day within the Settlement Period, subject to the following adjustments:

(i)

if the Purchase Price on a given Trading Day is less than the applicable Threshold Price, then such Trading Day shall be withdrawn from the Draw Down Pricing Period; and

(ii)

if during any Trading Day during the Draw Down Pricing Period trading of the Common Stock on the Trading Market is suspended for more than 3 hours, in the aggregate, or if any Trading Day during the Draw Down Pricing Period is shortened because of a public holiday, then such Trading Day shall be withdrawn from the Draw Down Pricing Period; and

(iii)

if during any Trading Day during the Draw Down Pricing Period sales of Draw Down Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement are suspended by the Company for more than three (3) hours, in the aggregate, then such Trading Day shall be withdrawn from the Draw Down Pricing Period.

(e)

The Company must inform the Purchaser by delivering a draw down notice, in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Draw Down Notice”), via facsimile transmission in accordance with Section 8.3, as to the amount of the Draw Down (the “Investment Amount”) the Company wishes to exercise. The Draw Down Notice shall also inform the Purchaser of the first day of the Draw Down Pricing Period, which, shall be the first Trading Day following the date such Draw Down Notice is received (the “Commencement Date”). At no time shall the Purchaser be required to purchase more than the maximum Investment Amount for a given Draw Down Pricing Period. The Company shall have the right to notify the Purchaser that Draw Downs shall be continuous pursuant to a Draw Down Notice until such time that the Company elects to suspend such Draw Down Notice. In the event of a continuous Draw Down Notice, the Company must give at least 2 Trading Days’ written notice of suspension to the Purchaser and in no event shall a suspension of a Draw Down occur prior to the end of any pending Draw Down Pricing Periods. On or before any Trading Day that a Draw Down Notice is delivered or notice of suspension of Draw Downs is delivered, the Company shall have filed with the Commission a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act setting forth the terms of the Draw Down Notice or suspension notice.

(f)

On the Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Settlement Period, the Company shall deliver and the Purchaser shall acknowledge a settlement statement (the “Settlement Statement”) setting forth the number of Draw Down Shares issuable and the aggregate Purchase Price as to such Settlement Period. On the Settlement Date as to such Draw Down, the Draw Down Shares purchased pursuant to such Settlement Statement shall be delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account of the Purchaser, or its designees, as designated by the Purchaser in the Settlement Statement, via DTC’s Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“DWAC”). Upon the Company electronically delivering such Draw Down Shares to the DTC account of the Purchaser, or its designees, via DWAC by 1:00 p.m. ET, the Purchaser shall, on the same day (or the next Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) wire transfer immediately available funds to the Company’s bank account, as designated by the Company in the Settlement Statement, for the amount of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Draw Down Shares. Upon the Company electronically delivering the Draw Down Shares to the Purchaser or its designee’s DTC account via DWAC after 1:00 p.m. ET, the Purchaser shall wire transfer next day available funds to the Company’s designated account on such day. At the sole election of the Purchaser, the Purchaser may elect to pay any broker fees disclosed in the schedules attached to this Agreement directly to the brokers pursuant to written instructions from any such broker.

(g)

The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares to the Purchaser beyond the Settlement Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares (based on the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Settlement Date) required to be delivered on the Settlement Date, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Settlement Date until such Shares are delivered pursuant to

this Article VI. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, including but not limited to the cost of any buy-in to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
