Subject to the provisions of this Section IV.G, Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and attorneys, and any person who controls Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, “Purchaser Parties” and each a “Purchaser Party”), harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action instituted against any Purchaser Party, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of Company who is not an Affiliate of a Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, or any filing or public statement made by Company, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (d) any Purchaser Party becoming involved in any capacity in any proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of Company, as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares under this Agreement; provided, however, that Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Party for any Losses finally adjudicated to be caused solely by a false statement of material fact contained within written information provided by such Purchaser Party expressly for the purpose of including it in the applicable Registration Statement.
2. Procedure for Indemnification. If any action will be brought against a Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party will promptly notify Company in writing, and Company will have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Purchaser Parties will 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 will be at the expense of Purchaser Parties except to the extent that (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Company in writing, (b) Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (c) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict with respect to the dispute in question on any material issue between the position of Company and the position of Purchaser Parties such that it would be inappropriate for one counsel to represent Company and Purchaser Parties. Company will not be liable to Purchaser Parties under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without Company’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is either attributable to Purchaser’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. In no event shall the Company be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses for more than one separate firm of attorneys (plus local counsel as applicable) to represent all Purchaser Parties.
3. Other than the liability of Purchaser to Company for uncured material breach of the express provisions of this Agreement, no Purchaser Party will have any liability to Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Company as a result of acquiring the Shares under this Agreement.
H. Reservation of Shares. Company shall at all times maintain a reserve from its duly authorized Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents authorized shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to thrice the number of shares sufficient to immediately issue all shares of Common Stock potentially issuable upon any conversion of the Preferred Shares at such time.
I. Activity Restrictions. For so long as Purchaser or any of its Affiliates holds any Shares, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate will: (i) vote any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by it, sign or solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of Company; (ii) engage or
participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result in beneficially owning or controlling more than 9.99% of the total outstanding Common Stock or other voting securities of Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Company, (f) any other material change in Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above; or (iii) request Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this section.
J. No Shorting. For so long as Purchaser holds any Shares, Purchaser will not engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any Short Sale of Company’s stock.
K. Stockholder Vote. Company will use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d) or a waiver from NASDAQ of Listing Rule 5635(d) within 90 days after the Effective Date (“Approval”).
L. NASDAQ Listing. On September 19, 2013, Company received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market that, because the closing bid price for the Common Stock fell below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, Company did not comply with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. Company will take all actions necessary to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market.
M. Stock Splits. If Company at any time on or after the Effective Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) or combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, the share numbers and prices set forth in this Agreement, as in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination, will be proportionately reduced or increased, as applicable, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
N. Registration Statement. Company will file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) permitting the resale of all Shares as soon as possible after the Effective Date, and will use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Act as promptly as is practicable, and to remain effective until all Shares have been resold by Purchaser, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into concurrently herewith.
O. Restrictive Legend. The Shares have not been registered under the Act and may not be resold in the United States unless registered or an exemption from registration is available. Company is required to refuse to register any transfer of the Shares not made pursuant to registration under the Act or an available exemption from registration. Upon the issuance thereof, and only until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable securities laws and regulations, the certificates representing any of the Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S.
PERSONS EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.
Share certificates shall be issued without such legend or at Purchaser’s option issue electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, if either (i) the Shares are registered for resale under the Act, (ii) Purchaser provides Company with an opinion of counsel to the effect that sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Act, or (iii) the Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.
V. General Provisions.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor will any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
C. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section IV.X.

Company will pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale of the Shares, if any.
E. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, will incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
F. Replacement of Certificates.

G. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, except for corporation law matters applicable to Company which shall be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

J. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action, then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
K. Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof

N. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

In the event that any signature is delivered by portable document format, facsimile or electronic transmission, such
signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
P. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and understandings, both oral and written, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement. No party, representative, attorney or agent has relied upon any collateral contract, agreement, assurance, promise, understanding or representation not expressly set forth hereinabove. The parties hereby expressly waive all rights and remedies, at law and in equity, directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to, or which may arise as a result of, any Person’s reliance on any such assurance.

Prior to redemption pursuant to Section I.F.1 hereof, the Corporation will have the right, at the Corporation’s option, to redeem all or a portion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time or times after the Issuance Date of such Series C Preferred Stock, at a price per share (the “Early Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of the following: (a) the Face Value, plus (b) the Embedded Dividend Liability for the applicable redemption or conversion, less (c) any Dividends that have been paid.
3. Credit Risk Adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision, the Dividend Rate shall adjust upward by an amount equal to the Credit Spread Adjustment for each amount, if any, equal to the Adjustment Factor, or any portion thereof that the Measuring Metric falls below the Minimum Triggering Level; provided, however, that in no event shall the Dividend Rate be above the Maximum Rate. The Dividend Rate shall adjust downward by an amount equal to the Credit Spread Adjustment for each amount, if any, equal to the Adjustment Factor that the Measuring Metric rises above the Maximum Triggering Level; provided, however, that in no event shall the Dividend Rate be below the Minimum Rate. The adjusted Dividend Rate for each Series C Liquidation Amount, Embedded Dividend Liability, Early Redemption Price, or Dividend, as applicable, shall be determined based upon the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the applicable Equity Conditions Measuring Period, not to exceed the Closing Price on any of the Trading Days during the Equity Conditions Measuring Period
4. Mandatory Redemption. If the Corporation determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business and affairs, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation will redeem the Series C Preferred Stock, at the Early Redemption Price set forth in Section I.F.2 if the event is prior to the five-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, or the Liquidation Value if the event is on or after the five-year anniversary of the Issuance Date.
5. Mechanics of Redemption. If the Corporation elects to redeem any of the Holders’ Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, it will deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Corporation”) to each Holder, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Corporation will indicate (a) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the Corporation is electing to redeem and (b) the applicable Early Redemption Price or Liquidation Value.
6. Payment of Redemption Price. Upon receipt by any Holder of a Notice of Redemption at Option of Corporation, such Holder will promptly submit to the Corporation such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificates. Upon receipt of such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificates, the Corporation will pay the Early Redemption Price or Liquidation Value, as applicable, to such Holder in cash.
G. Conversion.
1. Mechanics of Conversion.
a. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, one or more of the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted, in part or in whole, into shares of Common Stock, at any time or times after the Issuance Date, at the option of Holder or the Corporation, by (i) if at the option of Holder, delivery of one or more written notices to the Corporation (each, a “Holder Conversion Notice”), of the Holder’s election to convert the Series C Preferred Stock, or of additional shares of Common Stock then due with regard to a prior conversion, and stating the number of shares to which Holder is then entitled, or (ii) if at the option of the Corporation, if the Equity Conditions are met, delivery of written notice to Holder (each, a “Corporation Conversion Notice” and, with the Holder Conversion Notice, each a “Conversion Notice”), of the Corporation’s election to convert the Series C Preferred Stock. On the same Trading Day on which the Corporation has received the Holder Conversion Notice or issued the Corporation Conversion Notice (as the case may be) by 11:59 a.m. Eastern time, or the following Trading Day if received after such time or on a non-Trading Day, (each, a “Notice Date”),, the Corporation shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Holder Conversion Notice or issuance of the Corporation Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Corporation’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and shall either (a) only if Corporation is not approved through The Depository Trust Corporation (DTC), issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice a certificate bearing no restrictive legend, registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which Holder is then entitled as set forth in the Conversion Notice, or (b) provided the Corporation is approved through DTC, authorize the credit by the Transfer Agent of such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which Holder is then entitled, as set forth in the Conversion Notice, to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, time being of the essence.
b. If the Corporation shall fail, for any reason, to issue or cause to be issued to the Holder within 3 Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Conversion Notice, the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled as stated in the Conversion Notice, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Corporation shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such 3rd Trading Day that the issuance of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (i) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (ii) the highest Closing Price of the Common Stock between the date on which the Corporation should have issued such shares to the Holder and the actual date of receipt by Holder.
c. The requirements of this Section I.G are an independent covenant, and any breach or alleged breach of any provision of any agreement by any party shall not excuse fully and timely performance of Company’s obligations under this section.
d. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, but rather the Corporation shall issue to Holder scrip or warrants in registered form (certificated or uncertificated) which shall entitle Holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share.
e. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original certificates for the Series C Preferred Stock in order to effect a conversion hereunder.
f. The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any Conversion Shares.
2. Holder Conversion. In the event of a conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to an Holder Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall (a) satisfy the Embedded Dividend Liability as provided in Section I.C.2, and (b) issue to the Holder of such Series C Preferred Stock a number of Conversion Shares equal to (i) the Face Value multiplied by (ii) the number of such Series C Preferred Stock subject to the Holder Conversion Notice divided by (iii) the applicable Conversion Price with respect to such Series C Preferred Stock.
3. Corporation Conversion. The Corporation shall have the right to send the Holder a Corporation Conversion Notice in the event that (x) the Closing Price of the Common Stock exceeds 200% of the Series C Conversion Price for any 20 consecutive Trading Days and (y) the Equity Conditions are met as of the time such Company Conversion Notice is given. Upon any conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a Corporation Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall (a) satisfy the Embedded Dividend Liability as provided in Section I.C.2, and (b) issue to the Holder of such Series C Preferred Stock a number of Conversion Shares equal to (i) the Face Value multiplied by (ii) the number of such Series C Preferred Stock subject to the Holder Conversion Notice divided by (iii) the applicable Conversion Price with respect to such Series C Preferred Stock.
4. Stock Splits. If the Corporation at any time on or after the filing of this Certificate of Designations subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the applicable Conversion Price, Adjustment Factor, Maximum Triggering Level, Minimum Triggering Level, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time on or after such Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the applicable Conversion Price, Adjustment Factor, Maximum Triggering Level, Minimum Triggering Level, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
5. Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section I.G.4, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Holder could have acquired if Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of all Preferred Stock held by Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
