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

(b)Own Account. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Securities will bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b).

(c)Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts the Notes, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

26

(d)Experience of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e)General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1.Transfer Restrictions.

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

27

(b)The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE] HAS NOT [HAVE] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers may from time to time pledge, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer, or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchasers may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Company’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

28

(c)Certificates evidencing Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof) (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of any such Conversion Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Purchaser, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). The Company shall upon request of a Purchaser and at the Company’s sole expense cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the Transfer Agent promptly after any of the events described in (i)-(iii) or (v) in the preceding sentence if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder (with a copy to the applicable Purchaser and its broker). The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, within two Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares of Common Stock that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1 or Section 4.19. Certificates for the Conversion Shares and Registered Shares that are subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to a Purchaser by crediting the account of a Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

4.2.Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares and Registered Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchasers and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

29

(b)At any time during the period commencing from the six (6)-month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities have been sold or may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to the Purchasers’ other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchaser to transfer the Conversion Shares or Registered Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments”. Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

Nothing herein shall limit the Purchasers’ right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and the Purchasers shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to them at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

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

4.5.Conversion Procedures. The form of Notice of Conversion included in any Note sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert such Note. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required in order to convert the Notes.

The Purchasers have not made, and agree that unless they obtains the prior written consent of the Company they will not make, an offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Securities Act. Any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Purchasers or the Company is referred to in this Agreement as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”. The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

4.16.Prospectus Delivery. Immediately prior to execution of this Agreement, the Company shall have delivered to the Purchasers, and as soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement the Company shall file, a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Registered Shares to be issued on the Closing Date, as required under, and in conformity with, the Securities Act, including Rule 424(b) thereunder. The Company shall provide the Purchasers a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of each Prospectus Supplement and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, shall give due consideration to all such comments and, subject to the provisions of Section 4.15(b) hereof, shall deliver or make available to the Purchasers, without charge, an electronic copy of each form of Prospectus Supplement, together with the Prospectus, and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus on the Closing Date. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any Prospectus Supplements thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “blue sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registered Shares may be sold by the Purchasers, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registered Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Registered Shares. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company and its counsel is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement or amend the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 4.15(b) above, file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus (or supplement to the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus) and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to the Purchasers an electronic copy thereof.

4.17.Stop Orders. The Company shall advise the Purchasers promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) and shall confirm such advice in writing: (i) of the Company’s receipt of notice of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or for any additional information; (ii) of the Company’s receipt of notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, or of the suspension of qualification of the Registered Shares or the Conversion Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements then made therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law or (iv) if at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement is not effective or is not otherwise available for the issuance of the Registered Shares or any Prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any other reason. The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Purchasers the substance or specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence, but rather, shall only be required to disclose that the event has occurred. Thereafter, the Company shall promptly notify such holders when the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and/or any amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable, is effective and available for the issuance of the Registered Shares. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.

4.18.Subsequent Equity Sales; Variable Rate Transactions; Other.

(a)So long as the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or indirectly, issue, enter into any agreement to issue or publicly announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof), or recommend to its stockholders the approval or adoption thereof by such stockholders, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such Purchasers). The restrictions contained in this Section 4.18 shall not apply to (i) an Exempt Issuance or (ii) a Qualified Subsequent Financing, provided that all Qualified Subsequent Financing Net Proceeds from such Qualified Subsequent Financing are utilized solely to effect a Mandatory Redemption of the Notes in accordance with Sections 7(c) and 7(d) of the Notes, until all of the Notes are so redeemed in full in accordance with their terms, including, without limitation, payment in full of the Mandatory Redemption Amount to the holders of the Notes, and are no longer outstanding.

(b)So long as the Notes remain outstanding or any of the Purchasers hold any Securities, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, amend, modify, waive or alter any terms or conditions of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement to decrease the exercise, conversion and/or exchange price, as applicable, thereunder or otherwise increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection therewith (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations).

(c)So long as the Notes remain outstanding or any of the Purchasers hold any Securities, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into (or publicly announcing or recommending to its stockholders the approval or adoption thereof by such stockholders) any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction to effect, directly or indirectly, any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such Purchasers). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, an at-the-market offering (as defined in SEC Rule 415) or a similarly structured transaction, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in this Section 4.18(c) shall not apply to (i) an Exempt Issuance or (ii) a Qualified Subsequent Financing, provided that all Qualified Subsequent Financing Net Proceeds from such Qualified Subsequent Financing are utilized solely to effect a Mandatory Redemption of the Notes in accordance with Sections 7(c) and 7(d) of the Notes, until all of the Notes are so redeemed in full in accordance with their terms, including, without limitation, payment in full of the Mandatory Redemption Amount to the holders of the Notes, and are no longer outstanding.

36

(d)So long as the Notes remain outstanding or and of the Purchasers hold any Securities, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, directly or indirectly, effect or enter into (or publicly announce or recommend to its stockholders the approval or adoption thereof by such stockholders) any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) or Section 3(a)(l0) of the Securities Act, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of the such Purchasers).

(e)So long as the Notes remain outstanding or any of the Purchasers hold any Securities, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from, directly or indirectly, effecting or entering into (or publicly announcing or recommending to its stockholders the approval or adoption thereof by such stockholders) any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction, including, without limitation, any Subsequent Financing, that would or would reasonably be expected to restrict, delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Notes, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to timely (i) deliver shares of Common Stock to any holder of the Notes (or a designee thereof, if applicable) in accordance with this Agreement or the Notes and/or (ii) repay in cash all outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, Make-Whole Amount, Late Fees, liquidated damages and other amounts outstanding under the Notes at maturity or at any other times when payments are required to be made in cash pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

(f)The Purchasers shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance in this Section 4.18 (without the need for the posting of any bond or similar item, which the Company hereby expressly and irrevocably waives the requirement for), which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

4.19.Resale Restrictions. For so long any Purchaser owns any Notes, no Purchaser shall sell an amount of Exit Shares on any Trading Day in excess of the greater of (i) such number of Exit Shares that would result in gross proceeds to such Purchaser in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or (ii) five percent (5%) of the trading volume of the Common Stock on such Trading Day.

4.20.No Frustration. So long as any of the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates holds any Securities, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees, directors, agents or other representatives, will, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such Purchasers), effect, enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction (or issue, amend or waive any security), or effect any Subsequent Financing, that would or would reasonably be expected to restrict, delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Notes, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to timely (i) deliver shares of Common Stock to any Purchaser (or a designee thereof, if applicable) in accordance with this Agreement or the Notes and/or (ii) repay in cash all outstanding principal and other amounts outstanding under the Notes at maturity or at any other times when payments are required to be made in cash pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

37

4.21.Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividend. Except as expressly set forth in the Notes, so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such Purchasers).

4.22.Stock Splits. Until the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company shall not effect any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction (or make any public announcement or disclosure with respect to any of the foregoing), without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such Purchasers).

4.23.Corporate Existence. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, effect, enter into, be a party to, announce or recommend to its stockholders any Fundamental Transaction, unless (i) the Purchasers shall have provided their prior written consent thereto (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of such Purchasers) and (ii) the Company complies in all respects with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes.

4.24.Listing. The Company shall take all actions necessary to cause all of the Conversion Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Notes (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the Notes set forth therein), to be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of the Closing Date, subject only to official notice of issuance, and shall maintain such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable under the terms of the Notes on The Nasdaq Capital Market or another Trading Market. So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market or another Trading Market, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or other Trading Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.24.

4.25.Outstanding Notes. The Company agrees that any and all of the issued and outstanding Series B Notes will be (i) fully converted by the holders thereof into shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date or (ii) redeemed in full for cash (all of which has been paid by the Company) and surrendered to the Company for cancellation and cancelled by the Company on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date. No amount of principal, interest, late fees or any other amounts outstanding and under the Series B Notes shall remain outstanding or otherwise payable by the Company under the Series B Notes or otherwise after the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day immediately following the Closing. All of such Series B Notes will be surrendered to the Company for cancelation or will be automatically canceled under the terms thereof and will have ceased to exist, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will have any liabilities or obligations under or with respect to any of such Series B Notes (including any obligation to issue any additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents thereunder or in respect thereof).

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

40

5.10.Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

5.11.Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.12.Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

5.13.Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever a Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchasers may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of any Note, the Purchasers shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion notice concurrently with the return to the Purchasers of the aggregate conversion price paid to the Company for such shares.

5.14.Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

5.15.Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

41

5.16.Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchasers pursuant to any Transaction Document or a 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 the 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 shall 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.

5.17.Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by a Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to a Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

5.18.Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.19.Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.20.Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have 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 shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

42

5.21.Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through Sichenzia Ross Ference Kesner LLP. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers 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 Purchasers.

5.22.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
