1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent.

(a) The Company shall engage the Placement Agent, during the term of this Agreement, to render certain investment banking services on an exclusive basis in connection with the Offerings. The Placement Agent shall act on a best efforts basis and does not guarantee that it will be able to (i) raise new capital in the Note Offering or (ii) successfully solicit the Debt Holders to purchase the Exchange Shares for contribution of their Term Notes in the Exchange Offering. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agent to the Company is solely for the benefit and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to without the Placement Agent’s prior written consent.

The Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder may be terminated by either the Company or the Placement Agent at any time, with or without cause, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the other party.

(c) In addition to the right of the Placement Agent to terminate this Agreement on ten (10) days written notice pursuant to (b), this Agreement may be terminated by the Placement Agent by written notice to the Company at any time prior to the final Closing of either of the Offerings if, in the Placement Agent’s sole judgment, (i) the Company shall have sustained a loss that is material to the Company, whether or not insured, by reason of fire, earthquake, flood, accident or other calamity, or from any labor dispute or court or government action, order or decree; (ii) trading in securities on any exchange or system shall have been suspended or limited either generally or specifically with respect to the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”); (iii) material governmental restrictions have been imposed on trading in securities generally or specifically with respect to the Common Stock (not in force and effect on the date of this Agreement); (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or New York or California State authorities; (v) an outbreak of major international hostilities or other national or international calamity shall have occurred; (vi) the Congress of the United States or any state legislative body shall have passed or taken any action or measure, or such bodies or any governmental body or any authoritative accounting institute, or board, or any governmental executive shall have adopted any orders, rules or regulations, which the Placement Agent reasonably believes is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below); (vii) the Common Stock shall have been removed from the trading system on which it currently listed, if any, or the Company shall have received notice from such trading system advising the Company of its intention to have the Common Stock removed from such trading system; or (viii) there shall have been, in the Placement Agent’s judgment, a material decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Index or the market price of the Common Stock at any time subsequent to the date of this Agreement. “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or business of the Company or on the Offerings.

(d) No termination of this Agreement will affect the Placement Agent’s right to expense reimbursement under Section 10(d), the payment of any accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 10 or the indemnification under Section 9.

(e) This Agreement does not create, and will not be construed as creating, rights enforceable by any person or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled thereto by virtue of the indemnification section herein. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Placement Agent will act as an independent contractor and is being retained solely to assist the Company in its efforts to effect the Offerings and that, the Placement Agent is not being retained to advise the Company on, or to express any opinion as to, the wisdom, desirability or prudence of consummating the Offerings, (b) the Placement Agent is not and will not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company or any affiliate thereof and will have no duties or liabilities to the equityholders or creditors of the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement and the retention of the Placement Agent hereunder, all of which duties and liabilities are hereby expressly waived and (c) nothing contained herein shall be construed to obligate the Placement Agent to purchase, as principal, any of the securities offered by the Company in the Offerings. Neither equity holders nor creditors of the Company are intended beneficiaries hereunder. The Company confirms that it will rely on its own counsel, accountants and other similar expert advisors for legal, accounting, tax and other similar advice.

-5-

(b) Indemnification by Placement Agent. Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (its officers, directors and agents) and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the 1933 Act to the same extent as the indemnity from the Company described above against any and all Claims whatsoever (or actions in respect thereto) arising out of or based upon (1) any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, failure or alleged failure by Placement Agent to comply with the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 3, (2) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Placement Agent or any affiliate of the Placement Agent, or (3) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Memorandum, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or an omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that relates to the Placement Agent or any affiliate of the Placement Agent that was made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Placement Agent expressly for use in the Memorandum, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification under Section 9(a) or (b) of this Agreement (an “indemnified party”) shall notify promptly the person obligated to provide such indemnification (the “indemnifying party”) in writing of the commencement of any action or proceeding brought by a third person against the indemnified party with respect to a Claim (a “Third Party Claim”) for which the indemnified party may be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying party under this Section 9, but the omission of such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under Section 9 of this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure shall materially adversely affect any indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses or disbursements subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Third Party Claim within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from the indemnified party of such Third Party Claim; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a defendant in such Third Party Claim which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor; provided, that no indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement of a Third Party Claim made without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party if such settlement attributes liability to the indemnified party.

(a) In the event that the Note Offering is consummated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to the Placement Agent a fee (the “Note Success Fee”) equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the total consideration received by the Company as a result of such consummation (the “Note Transaction Consideration”).

In the event that the Exchange Offering is consummated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to the Placement Agent a fee (the “Exchange Success Fee” and together with the Note Success Fee, the “Success Fee”) equal to six and one-half percent (6.5%) of the total amount of Notes (principal plus accrued interest) that are contributed for the purchase of the Exchange Shares as a result of such consummation (the “Exchange Transaction Consideration” and together with the Note Transaction Consideration, the “Transaction Consideration”).

(c) If either of the Offerings is not consummated during the term for reasons other than termination of this Agreement by the Placement Agent, it is acknowledged and agreed that a Success Fee shall also be payable to the Placement Agent during the twelve months following termination of this Agreement, if the Company issues (through a sale, exchange or otherwise) or sells any securities (other than through an underwritten public offering), directly or indirectly, to any Taglich Investor; provided however that the Success Fee shall not be payable to the Placement Agent if the Company issues any securities to any Taglich Investor upon conversion of secured convertible notes issued in September and November 2013. For purposes of this agreement, a Taglich Investor shall mean an investor (i) introduced by the Placement Agent to the Company, or (ii) whom the Placement Agent has had discussions with on the Company’s behalf, during the term of this Agreement, in each case listed on Schedule “A” hereto, which Schedule “A” may be revised in writing from time to time by the Placement Agent which revisions may consist of a confirmation of such change by the Placement Agent through electronic mail.

(d) In addition to the sums payable to the Placement Agent as provided elsewhere herein, the Placement Agent or its designees shall be entitled to receive at the Closing, as additional compensation for its services, warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) with a five (5) year term for the purchase of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10.0%) of (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock, into which the Notes sold in the Note Offering are convertible and (ii) the Exchange Shares issued in the Exchange Offering, which such Placement Agent Warrants shall contain a cashless exercise provision, anti-dilution provisions to reflect capital adjustments by the Company and be first exercisable on the sixth month anniversary of the first Closing of each such Offering, as applicable. The exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants will be equal to the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date of the first Closing of each such Offering.

(e) Upon closing, the Company will reimburse the Placement Agent (i) for up to $25,000 of its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offerings, including fees and expenses of its counsel, and (ii) all filing fees the Placement Agent is required to pay FINRA and reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Placement Agent in connection with such filings with FINRA.

(f) The Company shall arrange for, and pay any fees required in connection with, the qualification of the sale of the Securities under the state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state which the Placement Agent reasonably deems necessary.

(g) All payments in connection with the sale of the Notes shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement among Placement Agent, the Company and Delaware Trust Company.

(h) For a period of 12 months from the date of the final Closing of the Proposed Offering, the Company agrees to offer the Placement Agent the right of first notification on future financings by the Company. The Placement Agent shall be obligated to respond within two weeks when the first offer is presented pursuant to this provision.
