(a) Acceptance. Subject to full, faithful and punctual performance and discharge by the Company of all of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement, the Warrant and any other agreement entered into between the Subscriber and the Company relating to this subscription (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") to be performed or discharged on or prior to the Closing in which such Subscriber participates, the Subscriber shall be legally bound to purchase the Units pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event the Closing does not take place because of (i) the election not to purchase the Units by the Subscriber or (ii) the failure to effectuate the Initial Closing (as defined below) on or prior to October 9, 2015 (unless extended in the discretion of the Board of Directors) for any reason or no reason, this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents shall thereafter be terminated and have no force or effect, and the parties shall take all steps, including the execution of instructions to the Company, to ensure that the Aggregate Purchase Price shall promptly be returned or caused to be returned to the Subscriber without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.
(b) Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Units hereunder (the “Closing”) shall take place at such time and place as determined by the Company and may take place in one of more closings. Closings shall take place on a Business Day promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 below, as determined by the Company (the “Closing Date”). “Business Day” shall mean from the hours of 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) through 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required to be closed. The Units purchased by the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company promptly following the Final Closing Date (as defined herein) of the Offering.

The date of the Initial Closing is sometimes referred to as the “Initial Closing Date.” Subsequent closings (each a “Subsequent Closing”) will be held until the earlier to occur of: (i) termination of the Offering by the Company, and (ii) October 9, 2015 (the “Final Closing” and such date of the Final Closing, the “Final Closing Date”), without additional notice to Subscribers.

In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of Units that the Subscriber shall thereafter be entitled to receive (including number of shares of Warrant Shares the Subscriber may thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants) shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be issuable on such conversion or exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price then in effect.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in (i) the Shares, (ii) the the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, or (iii) the exercise price of the Warrants, the Company, at its expense, will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Warrant, and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Subscriber. To the extent any such certificate contains material non-public information, the Company shall, no later than the first Business Day after the date of delivery of such certificate to the Subscriber, include such material non-public information in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

3. | THE SUBSCRIBER’s Representations, Warranties AND cOVENANTS |
Each Subscriber, severally and not jointly, hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:
(a) The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).
(b) The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the Offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:
(i) The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.
(ii) The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the Securities Act.
4
(iii) The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.
(iv) The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
(v) The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(vi) The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(c) The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.
(d) The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment. Among other things, the Subscriber has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking Statements” in the Company’s SEC Filings (as defined below) and any additional disclosures in the nature of Risk Factors described herein.
(e) The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that the Company is under no obligation to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.
(f) No oral or written representations or warranties have been made, or information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries in connection with the Offering, other than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for the Units the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.
(g) The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

If it is required in order to permit the full exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement into shares of Common Stock in accordance with applicable listing rules of the NYSE MKT (the “Shareholder Approval”), the Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) as soon as reasonably practicable, for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first special meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every three months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding. In connection with the Shareholder Approval, the Company shall enter into a voting agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(j) Use of Proceeds. The Company anticipates using the gross proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes.
(k) DTC Program. From the Closing Date until such time as no Subscriber holds any of the Securities, the Company shall use its best efforts to employ as the transfer agent for the Shares, and Warrant Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program (FAST) and cause the Common Stock to be transferable pursuant to such program.
(k) Closing Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after each Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Subscriber executed copies of the Transaction Documents, Securities and other document required to be delivered to any party pursuant to this Agreement.

(iv) The Company shall have submitted to NYSE MKT, a “Listing of Additional Shares” application (the “LAS”) for the listing of the Shares and the Warrant Shares thereon and NYSE MKT shall have completed its review of the LAS without comment.
7. | REGISTRATION RIGHTS. |

Subject to Shareholder Approval and the provisions hereof, on or before thirty (30) days following the Final Closing Date (the “Required Registration Date”), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, if available, registering for resale all Registrable Securities (such Registration Statement, a “Required Registration Statement”) and use its best efforts to cause such Required Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC sixty (60) days after filing. “Registrable Securities” means the Shares and Warrant Shares. Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities (whether they continue to be held by the Subscribers or they are sold to other Persons) until (i) they are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) they may be sold by their holder pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation thereunder on volume or manner of sale; or (iii) they shall have otherwise been transferred and new securities not subject to transfer restrictions under any federal securities laws and not bearing any legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company, all applicable holding periods shall have expired, and no other applicable and legally binding restriction on transfer by the Subscriber thereof shall exist under the Securities Act.
(i) Upon the date of effectiveness of the Required Registration Statement, the Company shall cause the Required Registration Statement to remain effective until such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Required Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Required Registration Statement.
18
(b) Piggyback Registration Rights. (i) If at any time the Company has registered or has determined to register any of its securities for its own account or for the account of other security holders of the Company on any registration form (other than Form S-4 or S-8) which permits the inclusion of the Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give the Subscribers written notice thereof promptly (but in no event less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated filing date) and, subject to Section 7(b)(iv), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities requested to be included therein pursuant to the written request of one or more Subscriber received within 10 days after delivery of the Company’s notice. If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company and the Subscribers that in their reasonable opinion the number of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; and (ii) second, the number of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities, including Subscribers who have provided notice in accordance with this Section 7(b)(i) pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by all such holders or as such holders and the Company may otherwise agree. “Maximum Number of Shares” means the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in a Registration Statement that can be sold in an underwritten offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the subject offering (including the offering price per share).
(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten registration on behalf of a holder of shares of Common Stock other than the Subscribers, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration; (ii) second, the number of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by other holders of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities, including the Subscribers (if the Subscribers have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration), pro rata among such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock and other Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by such holders or as such holders and the Company may otherwise agree; and (iii) third, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell.
(iii) If any Piggyback Registration is a primary or secondary underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right to select, in its sole discretion, the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering.
(c) Expenses of Registration and Selling. All Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. All Expenses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any underwriting discount or commission applicable to the sale by a Subscriber) incurred in connection with the sale of any securities registered hereunder shall also be borne by the Company.
(d) Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable.
(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable Registration Statement and the Prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.
(iii) Furnish to the selling Subscriber or Subscribers and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable Registration Statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.
(iv) Notify the selling Subscriber or Subscribers at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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 such statements were made, not misleading.
19
(v) Give written notice to the selling Subscriber or Subscribers:
(1) when any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b) or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(2) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(3) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(4) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(5) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in any effective Registration Statement or prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made) (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made).
(vi) Use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement referred to in Section 7(d)(v)(3) at the earliest practicable time.
(vii) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 7(d)(v)(5), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the selling Subscriber or Subscribers and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the selling Subscriber or Subscribers in accordance with Section 7(d)(v)(5) to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the selling Subscriber or Subscribers and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use commercially reasonable efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanently filed copies then in the possession of the selling Subscriber or Subscribers or the underwriter.
(e) Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement contains or may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that circumstances exist that make the use of such Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement inadvisable, the selling Subscriber or Subscribers shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until the selling Subscriber or Subscribers have received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or prospectus supplement, or until the selling Subscriber or Subscribers are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed. If so directed by the Company, the selling Subscriber or Subscribers shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the selling Subscriber’s or Subscribers’ possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such suspension notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any 180-day period shall not exceed 60 days.
20
(f) Furnishing Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 7(d) that the selling Subscriber or Subscribers and the underwriter(s), if any, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities.
(g) Indemnification. (i) In connection with each registration pursuant to Section 7, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each selling Subscriber, and each Person, if any, who controls any selling Subscriber within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, as follows:
(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of an untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that, with respect to any selling Subscriber, this indemnity shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such selling Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(ii) Each selling Subscriber agrees severally, and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement, and the other selling Subscribers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and any other selling Subscriber within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7(g)(i), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such selling Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided that no such selling Subscriber shall be liable under this Section 7(g) for any amounts exceeding the product of the sales price per Registrable Security and the number of Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or prospectus by such selling Subscriber.
(iii) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby. If it so elects, after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it, the reasonable fees and expenses of which shall be paid by such indemnified party, unless a conflict would arise if one counsel were to represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party or parties. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for a settlement of an action with respect to which they have assumed the defense if such settlement is effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party, or for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for (i) the Company, its officers, directors and controlling persons as a group, and (ii) the selling Subscribers and their controlling persons as a group, in each case, in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of an indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the Company or any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel.
21
(h) Contribution. (i) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to Section 7(g) is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of the selling Subscribers be greater in amount than the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 7(g)(i) had been available under the circumstances.
(ii) 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. For purposes of this Section 7(h)(ii)), each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or a selling Subscriber within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or such selling Subscriber, as the case may be.
(i) Representations, Warranties and Indemnities to Survive. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of any underwriting or agency agreement; (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the selling Subscriber or Subscribers, the Company or any underwriter or agent or controlling Person; or (iii) the consummation of the sale or successive resales of the Registered Securities.
8. | MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS |

Each party has been advised by the foregoing counsel that in connection with this Agreement and the matters described herein, it should retain counsel of its choice inasmuch as important rights may be involved or affected relative to the matters herein.

(c) Neither this Agreement, nor any provisions hereof, shall be waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any waiver, modification, discharge or termination is sought.
22
(d) The representations, warranties and agreement of each Subscriber and the Company made in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the delivery of the Securities.
(e) Any party may send any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication hereunder to the Subscriber at the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or to the Company at its primary office (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger service, fax, ordinary mail or electronic mail), but no such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication will be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is received by the intended recipient. Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties written notice in the manner herein set forth.
(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties to this Agreement and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns. If any Subscriber is more than one person or entity, the obligation of any Subscriber shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, each such person or entity and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among them.
(g) This Agreement is not transferable or assignable by the Company.
(h) The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of any Closing Date that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to any offer, sale or subscription of Securities (each a "Subscription Document"), is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of the Subscriber and this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Subscriber or the Company, deemed amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Subscriber shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms contained in such Subscription Document.

(i) The obligations of each Subscriber under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Subscriber has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Subscribers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Subscriber, solely, and not between the Company and the Subscribers collectively and not between and among the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that any actions of Subscribers now, and in the future, in which (A) any review or approval is sought by the Company, including, without limitation, review, approval or acceptance of any reportable event required to be reported in any SEC filing or report by the Company; or (B) any amendment, waiver, right of first refusal, participation right, acquisition or financing, including any acquisition or financing is proposed, introduced, offered or arranged by any one or more Subscribers or their affiliates or sought by the Company, shall not be claimed by the Company or any person seeking to assert such a claim on behalf of the Company, to constitute the forming of any “Group” as such term is defined under Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, nor shall any activity permit the Company or any third party holder of securities of the Company to assert any claim that any beneficial ownership limitations or conversion limitations of the Warrants have been exceeded and such Subscriber, alone or in conjunction with others, constitutes a “Group” for purposes of the Exchange Act as a result thereof.
23
(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall not be changed, modified or amended and no right hereunder shall be waived, except in writing signed by both (a) the Company and (b) Subscribers holding at least 60% of the Units sold in the Offering outstanding on the date of determination (including the Lead Investor). The Company shall be prohibited from offering any additional consideration to any Subscriber in this Offering (or such original Subscriber’s transferee) for the purposes of inducing such person to change, modify, waive or amend any term of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document without making the same offer on a pro-rata basis to all other Subscribers (and those transferees) in this Offering allocable to the securities acquired by such transferee(s).
(k) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.
(l) The Company and each Subscriber hereby agree that any dispute that may arise between them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be adjudicated before a court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and they hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan with respect to any action or legal proceeding commenced by any party, and irrevocably waive any objection they now or hereafter may have respecting the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such a court or respecting the fact that such court is an inconvenient forum, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any acts or omissions relating to the sale of the securities hereunder, and consent to the service of process in any such action or legal proceeding by means of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in care of the address set forth herein or such other address as either party shall furnish in writing to the other.
