The Company and the Company Subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps necessary to protect and maintain the material Intellectual Property they purport to own and to secure assignment of such Intellectual Property from its employees and contractors, as applicable. To the Knowledge of the Company the operation of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries has not in the last two (2) years infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated, and does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property of any other Person. Neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has received any written or, to the Knowledge of the Company, oral communications alleging that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated the Intellectual Property of any other Person, in each case other than any such infringement, misappropriation, or other violation which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had, or are not reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

To the extent such requirements are applicable to the Company, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 12a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that complies with the Exchange Act and has been designed by the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has identified or been made aware of "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" (as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the design or operation of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, in each case which has not been subsequently remediated.

4.13 Financial Statements; Controls.

Such statements, schedules and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, as certified by KPMG LLP or Xxxxxx LLP, as applicable, (except, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC or other rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be indicated in the notes thereto or (ii) as permitted by Regulation S-X).

(b) Neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has any liabilities of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) that would be required under GAAP, as in effect on the date hereof, to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company (including the notes thereto) except liabilities (i) reflected or reserved against in the balance sheet (or the notes thereto) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2018 (the "Balance Sheet Date") included in the Filed SEC Reports, (ii) incurred after the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business, (iii) as contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise incurred in connection with the Transactions, (iv) as related to Taxes, (v) that have been discharged or paid prior to the date of this Agreement or (vi) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is made known to the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Each of the Filed SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. As of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment), the Filed SEC Reports did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC with respect to any of the Filed SEC Reports.

4.15 Compliance with Laws. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries (a) are in compliance with, and conduct their respective businesses in conformity with, all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations, except where the failure to so comply or conform has not had, or is not reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (b) possess all licenses, franchises, permits, certificates, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities required by Law necessary for the Company to conduct its business as currently conducted or currently planned by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (each, a "Company Permit"), except where the failure to possess such documents, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, or is not reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has received any verbal or written notice of any proceeding relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any material certificate, authorization, permit, clearance or approval.

4.16 Anti-Corruption Compliance.

4.17 Employment and Labor Matters.

(a) Each Company Plan is and has been established, maintained, funded and administered in compliance in all material respects with the terms of each Company Plan and with ERISA, the Code and all applicable Laws. No Company Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA, and none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has sponsored, maintained, contributed to, been required to contribute to, or had any liability or obligation under or with respect to any plan that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA. No Company Plan is a "multiemployer plan" (as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. Each Company Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, the trust thereunder is exempt from taxation, and has received a current favorable determination letter or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service on which it can rely, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would adversely affect such qualification or tax-exempt status. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any liability or obligation on account of at any time being considered a single employer with any other Person under Section 414 of the Code. There has been no prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4795 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) or breach of fiduciary duty (as determined under ERISA) with respect to any Company Plan.

(b) No material labor dispute exists or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company is in compliance with all Laws relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(c) The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are as disclosed in the Filed SEC Reports. No current executive officer of the Company has notified the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company. No executive officer of the Company is in violation of any material term of any employment Contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

4.18 Tax. The Company (i) has prepared and filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other Tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all Taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, whether or not shown on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith, with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on the books of the Company and (iii) has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all Taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, where the failure to so pay or file any such Tax, assessment, charge or return would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Other than in connection with accrued state sales taxes that may be owed, there are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed in writing to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction. No (x) U.S. federal tax audits or (y) administrative or judicial Tax proceedings with respect to U.S. federal tax are pending or being conducted with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any Tax allocation or sharing agreement other than customary agreements the primary purpose of which is unrelated to Taxes. Neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiaries (A) has been a member of an "affiliated group" filing a consolidated federal income Tax return (other than a group the common parent of which was Company) or (B) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law), as a transferee or successor, otherwise by operation of Law or by contract. Within the last two (2) years, neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiaries has distributed stock of another Person, or has had its stock distributed by another Person, in a transaction that was purported or intended to be governed in whole or in part by Code §355 or Code §361. The Company has given the Investors an opportunity to review correct and complete copies of all Tax Returns filed with respect to taxable periods ending after December 31, 2013.

4.19 Insurance. The Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged; and neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not be reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

4.21 Brokers and Other Advisors. No agent, broker, investment banker, finder, financial advisor, firm or other Person is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or commission or reimbursement of expenses in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

4.22 Vote Required. The Company Stockholder Approval is the only vote or approval of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is required under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the DGCL or NASDAQ to approve the Transactions and the consummation thereof.

4.23 Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company and the Board have taken all necessary action, if any, to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company Charter Documents or the laws of the State of Delaware that is applicable to the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, as a result of the Company's issuance of the Purchased Shares pursuant hereto or upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Investors' ownership of the Purchased Shares.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor represents and warrants, severally and not jointly and severally, to the Company that:

Any breach of the terms of this Section 8.14 by any Affiliate or Representative of the Company (as if it were a party hereto) shall be deemed a breach by the Company.

8.15 Conduct of Business. Except as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement, as required by applicable Law, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (x) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 and (y) the Closing, unless the Investors otherwise consent in writing, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, conduct their businesses only in the ordinary course of business in all material respects consistent with past practice. Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter, as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement, as required by applicable Law or as consented to in writing by the Investors, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Company Subsidiaries to, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Closing, take any of the following actions:

(a) take any action that, if taken immediately following the Closing, would require the approval of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis, including any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof) that is held by the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates;

(b) establish a record date for, declare, set aside for payment or make payment in respect of, any dividend or other distribution upon any shares of capital stock of the Company;

(c) create, issue, sell or grant or authorize the issuance, sale or grant of any equity securities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries with rights or preferences senior to, or pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock;

(d) enter into any transaction that, if consummated, would cause the Company to be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market or prohibit the Company from being listed or quoted for trading on any other U.S. national securities exchange; provided, however, that this clause (d) shall not apply to any transaction that is a "Change of Control" as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations;

(e) amend or propose to amend the Company Charter Documents or the Subsidiary Charter Documents in a manner that is materially adverse to the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock;

(f) take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the Transactions; or

(g) agree, resolve or commit to take any of the foregoing actions.

8.16 Contractual Restrictions.

8.17 Access to Information. Prior to the Closing, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, the Company shall, and shall cause the officers and employees of the Company, to (a) afford the officers, employees and authorized agents and representatives of the Investors subject to Confidentiality Obligations reasonable access to the employees, offices, properties, books and records of the Company and (b) furnish to the officers, employees and authorized agents and representatives of the Investor subject to Confidentiality Obligations such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the assets, properties and business of the Company as the Investors may from time to time reasonably request in order to assist the Investors in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, (i) any such access shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations or business activities of the Company; and (ii) the Company shall not be required to so confer, afford such access or furnish such copies or other information to the extent that doing so would contravene any Law, result in the breach of any confidentiality or similar agreement to which the Company is a party, the loss of protectable interests in trade secrets, or the loss of attorney-client privilege (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a breach of such agreement or a loss of attorney-client privilege, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of any applicable third party or through the use of a "clean team"). The representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and obligations of the Company, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Investor, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, the Investor or any of its Representatives.

8.18 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(b) Following the date hereof and for so long as the Investors, together with their respective Affiliates, beneficially own in aggregate at least 7,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or other similar recapitalization) or at least $7,000,000 in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Secured Promissory Notes, the Company shall give to each Investor then holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to Confidentiality Obligations, written notice (i) no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the entry into a potential settlement agreement, plea bargain or out-of-court resolution of a Proceeding, the resolution of which would involve money damages payable by the Company in an amount exceeding $50,000,000 after giving effect to any insurance coverage and proceeds, (ii) no less than thirty (30) days prior to the entry into any other potential settlement agreement, plea bargain or out-of-court resolution of a Proceeding, other than such Proceedings, the resolution of which involve only the payment of money damages of less than $5,000,000 after giving effect to any insurance coverage and proceeds and (iii) of a Ruling that would be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the business, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), results of operations or financial condition of the Company; provided that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent any Governmental Authority offers a settlement or plea bargain with an acceptance timeframe that is less than the applicable notice periods, then the applicable notice periods shall be shortened to the last day of the acceptance timeframe offered by such Governmental Authority. The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 8.19(b) shall be subject to applicable law and rules of civil procedure of applicable courts, and any such notifications hereunder shall exclude all correspondence, documentation and other materials that is subject to attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine (provided further, in each case, that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure that is practicable to be made in a manner that preserves such attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine).

Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and by at least a majority of the Investors (which prior to Closing shall be based on the number of Purchased Shares to be purchased hereunder, and following Closing shall be based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding); provided that any amendment of Sections 2, 6 (other than Section 6.4 and Section 6.12), 7, 8.1, 8.12, 9 (other than Section 9.1(c) as to Section 6.4) and 10.10 of this Agreement (including the amendment of any defined term contained therein or the waiver of any violation thereof by the Company) shall require the written consent of 100% of Investors; provided further, that any waiver of the obligation to deliver notice as provided in Sections 8.12 or 8.19 shall not be valid against any Investor who is subject to Confidentiality Agreement and is not an Ineligible Assignee unless such Investor has provided prior written consent to such waiver, provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, any waiver in respect of Section 6.4, Section 6.12 or Section 9.1(c) as to Section 6.4 (including such provisions that would give rise to a notification obligation by the Company) shall require only a majority of the Investors as determined as provided in the introduction to the first sentence of this Section 10.10; and provided, further, that any amendment of this Agreement that negatively impacts an Investor or group of Investors in a material and disproportionate manner relative to the impact to other Investors shall require the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased by, or that are held by, such Investor or group of Investors so adversely and materially and disproportionately impacted, as applicable. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and signatures may be delivered by facsimile or in electronic format, each of which may be executed by less than all the parties, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

10.12 Severability. 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 the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

10.13 Titles and Subtitles; Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."

All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.
