This Agreement shall become effective and binding (the “Closing”) upon the delivery of irrevocable instructions to issue the Commitment Shares to the Investors or their respective designees as provided in Sections 7.1 and 10.1, the delivery of counterpart signature pages of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement executed by each of the parties hereto and thereto, and the delivery of all other documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered at the Closing, in each case as provided in Section 7.1, to the offices of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.

Each of the Investors covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in this Section 2.3, such Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the existence and terms of the transactions), except that such Investor may disclose the terms of such transactions to its financial, accounting, legal and other advisors (provided that such Investor directs such Persons to maintain the confidentiality of such information).

To the extent not previously disclosed in the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall disclose in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to all Draw Down(s) consummated during the relevant fiscal quarter, and include each such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K in a Prospectus Supplement and file such Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

Article III
DRAW DOWN TERMS

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

Section 3.1. Draw Down Notice. From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, no later than 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period, provide to each of the Investors, by email (with the subject line reading “TIMELY-DRAW DOWN”) and by facsimile in accordance with Section 10.4, a Draw Down Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Draw Down Notice”), which Draw Down Notice shall become effective at 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period specified in the Draw Down Notice; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Draw Down Notice to any of the Investors later than 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, then the first Trading Day of such Pricing Period shall not be the Trading Day on which the Investors received such Draw Down Notice, but rather shall be the immediately following Trading Day (unless a subsequent Trading Day is therein specified). The date on which the Company delivers any Draw Down Notice in accordance with this Section 3.1 hereinafter shall be referred to as a “Draw Down Exercise Date”. The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested (which shall not exceed the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested), the applicable Floor Price for such Draw Down and the first and last Trading Day of the Pricing Period. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the Investors is obligated to accept each Draw Down Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company such Investor’s Pro Rata Amount of the Shares subject to such Draw Down Notice at the applicable Purchase Price on the applicable Settlement Date. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) none of the Investors shall be required to purchase, and none of the Investors shall purchase, more than such Investor’s Pro Rata Amount of the Shares subject to any single Draw Down Notice and (ii) the Company shall not effect any Draw Down under this Agreement if, on the applicable Draw Down Exercise Date, the applicable Floor Price is less than $0.03875.

Section 3.2. Limitation of Draw Downs. The Company shall not make more than one Draw Down in each Pricing Period. At least two (2) Trading Days shall elapse between the completion of the settlement of one Draw Down in accordance with Section 3.5 below and the commencement of a Pricing Period for any other Draw Down during the Investment Period. Each Draw Down automatically shall expire immediately following the completion of the settlement thereof in accordance with Section 3.5 below.

Section 3.3. Reduction of Commitment. On each Settlement Date, the Investors’ Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total Draw Down Amount paid to the Company on such Settlement Date.

Section 3.4. Below Floor Price. If the VWAP on any Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period is lower than the applicable Floor Price, then for each such Trading Day, the Draw Down Amount Requested shall be reduced by an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) 0.20 and (y) the total Draw Down Amount Requested, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day. If trading in the Common Stock on the Trading Market is suspended for any reason for more than three hours on any Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period, then for each such Trading Day during the Pricing Period the Draw Down Amount Requested shall be reduced as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day.

Section 3.5. Settlement. The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares in respect of each Draw Down shall be settled not later than the first Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period (the “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares purchased by each Investor by crediting such Investor’s or its designees’ account (provided such Investor shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale pursuant to the Registration Statement, against simultaneous payment therefor to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that if the Shares are received by such Investor later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, payment therefor shall be made with next day funds. As set forth in Section 3.6, a failure by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) to deliver such Shares on the applicable Settlement Date, among other things, shall result in the payment of partial damages by the Company to the Investors.

Section 3.6. Failure to Deliver Shares. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice to the Investors, and the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically deliver all of the Shares subject thereto to any Investor on the applicable Settlement Date or within two (2) Trading Days thereafter by crediting such Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system in compliance with Section 3.5 of this Agreement, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Investor, the Company shall pay such Investor, in cash, as partial damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2.0% of the payment required to be paid by such Investor on such Settlement Date for the initial 30 days following such Settlement Date until the Shares have been delivered, and an additional 2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically transfer all of the Shares subject to a Draw Down Notice to any Investor on the applicable Settlement Date by crediting such Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system in compliance with Section 3.5 of this Agreement, and if on or after such applicable Settlement Date such Investor purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery by such Investor in satisfaction of a sale by such Investor of Shares that such Investor anticipated receiving from the Company in connection with such Draw Down, then the Company shall, in addition to any other amounts due to such Investor pursuant to this Agreement, within three Trading Days after such Investor’s request, pay cash to such Investor in an amount equal to such Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased, at which point the Company’s obligation to credit such Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC for such Shares shall terminate. All amounts due and payable to any Investor pursuant to this Section 3.6 are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Make Whole Amount”. If the Make Whole Amount is not paid within two Trading Days following the date when due hereunder, the Make Whole Amount shall accrue annual interest (on the basis of the 365 day year) compounded daily at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of interest then in effect as published by the Wall Street Journal plus 3.0% and (ii) 10.0%, up to and including the date on which the Make Whole Amount is actually paid. The Company shall not issue a Draw Down Notice to any of the Investors until the Make Whole Amount, plus all accrued interest, has been paid to the applicable Investor(s) in full.

Section 3.7. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice to the extent that (i) the Draw Down Amount Requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investors to acquire or purchase a dollar value of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investors pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investors to purchase from the Company, a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by all of the Investors and their respective Affiliates, would result in the collective beneficial ownership by the Investors of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”). If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice in which the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investors to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases of Common Stock by the Investors under this Agreement to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investors pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require any Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by such Investor and its Affiliates to exceed the Ownership Limitation, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates, would exceed the Ownership Limitation.

Section 3.8. Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise offer or sell Shares to the Investors, and the Investors shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or may be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information, or (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 3.8, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement. If the Company wishes to deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise offer, sell or deliver Shares to the Investors at any time during the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall, as conditions thereto, (1) prepare and deliver to each of the Investors (with a copy to counsel to the Investors) a report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings or other projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), (2) provide each of the Investors with the compliance certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, dated the date of such Draw Down Notice, which certificate shall be deemed to remain in effect during the applicable Pricing Period through and including the applicable Settlement Date, and the “bring down” opinions in the form mutually agreed to by the parties hereto prior to the date hereof, dated the date of such Draw Down Notice and (3) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission (so that it is deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act), include such Earnings 8-K in a Prospectus Supplement and file such Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in each case on or prior to the date of such Draw Down Notice. The provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 3.8 shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which all of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that the delivery of the compliance certificate and the “bring down” opinions pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the delivery of the compliance certificate called for by Section 7.2(ii) and the “bring down” opinions called for by Section 7.2(xv) on the applicable Settlement Date, which Sections shall have independent application.

Article IV

Each Investor, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Company with respect to only itself that:

Section 4.2. Authorization and Power. Such Investor has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to purchase or acquire the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of such Investor, its board of directors, general partner, managing member, limited partners or stockholders (as applicable) is required. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Investor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application (including any limitation of equitable remedies).

Section 4.3. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not (i) result in a violation of such Investor’s charter documents, bylaws or other applicable organizational instruments, (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give rise to any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which such Investor is a party or is bound, (iii) create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of such Investor under any agreement or any commitment to which such Investor is party or under which such Investor is bound or under which any of its properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Investor or by which any of its properties or assets are bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with, in any material respect, the ability of such Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Such Investor is not required under any applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Investor is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and warranties and the compliance with the relevant covenants and agreements of the Company in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Section 4.4. Investment Purpose. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Investor does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. Such Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.

Section 4.7. Information.

No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA has occurred with respect to any Plan which has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder shall not result in any of the foregoing events. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Plan; and each Plan for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualifications. As used in this Section 5.24, the term “Plan” shall mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is under common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.

Section 5.25. Taxes. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or has duly requested extensions thereof, except for those the failure of which to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, except to the extent that any such taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, except for such taxes the failure of which to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s Knowledge, proposed against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the Code.

Section 5.26. Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable 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 have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.27. U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or has ever been, and so long as any of the Securities are held by any Investor, shall become a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code.

Section 5.28. Exemption from Registration; Valid Issuances. Subject to, and in reliance on, the representations, warranties and covenants made herein by each Investor, the offer and sale of the Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D; provided, however, that after the Effective Date at the request of and with the express agreement of each of the Investors, the Shares will be delivered to each Investor via book entry through DTC and will not bear legends noting restrictions as to resale of such securities under federal or state securities laws, nor will any such securities be subject to stop transfer instructions. Neither the offer or sale of the Securities pursuant to, nor the Company’s performance of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall (i) result in the creation or imposition of any liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances upon the Securities, or (ii) entitle the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company to preemptive or other rights to subscribe to or acquire the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

Section 5.29. No General Solicitation or Advertising. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

Section 5.30. No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

Section 5.31. Dilutive Effect. The Company is aware and acknowledges that issuance of the Securities could cause dilution to existing stockholders and could significantly increase the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Shares pursuant to the terms of a Draw Down in accordance with this Agreement is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

Section 5.32. Manipulation of Price. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors or Affiliates has, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors or Affiliates will during the term of this Agreement, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf will during the term of this Agreement, take any of the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 5.33. Securities Act. The Company has complied and shall comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder, including, without limitation, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement, upon filing with the Commission and at the time it is declared effective by the Commission, shall satisfy all of the requirements of the Securities Act to register the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investors in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then-prevailing market prices, and not fixed prices. The Company is not, and has not previously been at any time, an issuer identified in, or subject to, Rule 144(i).

Section 5.34. Listing and Maintenance Requirements; DTC Eligibility. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its Knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the Closing Date, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. As of the Closing Date, the Company is in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock may be issued and transferred electronically to third parties via DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system. The Company has not received notice from DTC to the effect that a suspension of, or restriction on, accepting additional deposits of the Common Stock, electronic trading or book-entry services by DTC with respect to the Common Stock is being imposed or is contemplated.

Section 5.35. Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order 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’s Charter or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to any of the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their respective obligations or exercising their respective rights under the Transaction Documents (as applicable), including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Investors’ ownership of the Securities.

Section 5.36. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. None of the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA. The Company and the Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

Section 5.37. Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened.

Section 5.38. OFAC. None of the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering contemplated hereby, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.

Section 5.40. Acknowledgement Regarding Investors’ Acquisition of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Investors is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company further acknowledges that none of the Investors is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and any advice given by any of the Investors or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection therewith is merely incidental to such Investor’s acquisition of the Securities.

Article VI
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

The Company covenants with each of the Investors (which covenants of the Company are for the benefit of each of the Investors), and each Investor, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company with respect to only itself (which covenants of any one Investor are for the benefit of the Company only), as follows:

Section 6.1. Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission and the Trading Market, if and as applicable, in accordance with their respective rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and shall take all necessary action, undertake all proceedings and obtain all registrations, permits, consents and approvals for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to each of the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, as applicable.

Section 6.2. Reservation of Common Stock.

The number of shares of Common Stock so reserved from time to time, as theretofore increased or reduced as hereinafter provided, may be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

The Company shall take all action necessary to cause the Common Stock to continue to be registered as a class of securities under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, shall comply with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock and the listing of the Securities purchased or acquired by the Investors hereunder on the Trading Market and to comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws, listed securities maintenance standards and other rules and regulations of the Trading Market. The Company shall not take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Trading Market.

Section 6.4. Compliance with Laws.

(i) The Company shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, (a) with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

Section 6.5. Keeping of Records and Books of Account; Due Diligence.

(i) The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries shall be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made. The Company shall maintain a system of internal accounting controls that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements (it being acknowledged and agreed that the identification by the Company and/or its independent registered public accounting firm of any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” (each as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Section 6.5(i)).

(ii) Subject to the requirements of Section 6.16 of this Agreement, from time to time from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall make available for inspection and review by any of the Investors during normal business hours and after reasonable notice, customary documentation reasonably requested by such Investor and/or its appointed counsel or advisors to conduct due diligence; provided, however, that after the Closing Date, the Investors’ continued due diligence shall not be a condition to the issuance of any Draw Down Notice or the settlement of any Draw Down.

Section 6.6. Limitations on Holdings and Issuances. The Company shall not issue, and the Investors shall not purchase, any shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) collectively by all of the Investors and their respective Affiliates to exceed the Ownership Limitation. Promptly following any request by the Company, each Investor shall inform the Company of the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates.

Section 6.7. Other Agreements and Alternate Transactions.

(i) The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver to each of the Investors such Investor’s Pro Rata Amount of (i) the Commitment Shares not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date and (ii) the Shares in respect of a Draw Down on the applicable Settlement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.7(i) shall in any way limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 (subject in all cases to Section 8.3).

(ii) If the Company enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party or seeks to utilize any existing agreement, plan or arrangement with a third party, in each case the principal purpose of which is to implement, effect or consummate, at any time during the period beginning on the first Trading Day of any Pricing Period and ending on the second Trading Day next following the applicable Settlement Date (the “Reference Period”), an Alternate Transaction that does not constitute an Acceptable Transaction, the Company shall provide prompt notice thereof (an “Alternate Transaction Notice”) to each of the Investors; provided, however, that such Alternate Transaction Notice must be received by each of the Investors not later than the earlier of (a) 48 hours after the Company’s execution of any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction relating to such Alternate Transaction (or, with respect to any existing agreement, plan or arrangement, 48 hours after the Company has determined to utilize any such existing agreement, plan or arrangement to implement, effect or consummate such Other Financing) and (b) the second Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Settlement Date with respect to the applicable Draw Down Notice. If required under applicable law, including, without limitation, Regulation FD promulgated by the Commission, or under the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company shall simultaneously publicly disclose the information included in any Alternate Transaction Notice in accordance with Regulation FD and the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

With respect to any Reference Period for which the Company is required to provide an Alternate Transaction Notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.7(ii), each Investor shall purchase such Investor’s Pro Rata Amount of the Shares subject to the applicable Draw Down at the lower of (x) the price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the third party’s per share purchase price (or exercise or conversion price, as the case may be) in connection with the Alternate Transaction, net of such third party’s discounts, Warrant Value and fees. Subject to the rights of the Investors in this paragraph, nothing set forth in this agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall preclude the Company from engaging in an Alternate Transaction.

(iii) For all purposes of this Agreement, an “Alternate Transaction” shall mean (w) the issuance of Common Stock for a purchase price less than, or the issuance of securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a conversion, exercise or exchange price (as the case may be) less than, the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to any “equity line” or other financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided for under this Agreement, or pursuant to any other transaction in which the purchase, conversion, exercise or exchange price for such Common Stock is determined using a floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the then Current Market Price (any such transaction, a “Similar Financing”)), in each case, after all fees, discounts, Warrant Value and commissions associated with the transaction (a “Below Market Offering”); (x) an “at-the-market” offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act (an “ATM”); (y) the implementation by the Company of any mechanism in respect of any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock for the reset of the purchase price of the Common Stock to below the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, any antidilution or similar adjustment provisions in respect of any Company securities, but specifically excluding customary antidilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events) (a “Price Reset Provision”); or (z) the issuance of options, warrants or similar rights of subscription or the issuance of convertible equity or debt securities, in each case not constituting an Acceptable Transaction.

Section 6.8. Corporate Existence. The Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 6.9, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from engaging in any Fundamental Transaction with another Person.

In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver or make available to each of the Investors and their counsel, without charge, an electronic copy of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during any period in which a 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 resales of the Registrable Securities, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof with the Commission.

If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the reasonable judgment of the Company and its counsel is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, 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 Prospectus Supplement to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith (i) notify each of the Investors to suspend the resale of Registrable Securities during such period and (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus, and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to each of the Investors an electronic copy thereof, so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

In addition, for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investors, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in connection with any sales of Registrable Securities by the Investors, the Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement without delivering or making available a copy of such Prospectus Supplement to each of the Investors promptly.

Section 6.12. Stop Orders. The Company shall notify each of the Investors as soon as possible (but in no event later than 24 hours), and confirm in writing, upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Registrable Securities: (i) receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, or for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any Prospectus Supplement; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority 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 or exemption from qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) any event or the existence of any condition or state of facts, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement 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 Prospectus Supplement 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 or any Prospectus Supplement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or which requires an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement to comply with the Securities Act or any other law (other than the transactions contemplated by any Draw Down Notice and the settlement thereof). The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investors the substance or specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, but rather, shall only be required to disclose that the event has occurred.

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), each of the Investors shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

Article IX
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1. Indemnification of Investors. In consideration of the Investors’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Investors, each of such Investor’s directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls such Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation) (collectively, “Damages”) that any Investor 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 the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against such Investor Party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, other than claims for indemnification within the scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from a breach of any of such Investor’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and (y) the Company shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this Section 9.1 to the extent, but only to the extent, that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from which no further appeals are available) that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful or reckless misconduct.

The Company shall reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1; provided that the applicable Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal and other costs and expenses to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.

An Investor Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor Party. Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under applicable law.

Section 9.2. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the Investor Party, it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Investor Party. In such event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

The remedies provided for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, all Shares to be issued in respect of any Draw Down Notice delivered to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued to the Investors in accordance with Section 3.5 by crediting each Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, and all such Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale (and no stop-transfer order shall be placed against transfer thereof), and the Company shall not take any action or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company otherwise.

(iv) Removal of Legend. From and after the Effective Date, the Company shall, no later than two Trading Days following the delivery by any Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing Commitment Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), as directed by such Investor, either: (A) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to such Investor a certificate representing such Commitment Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (B) cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit such Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Commitment Shares represented by the certificate so delivered by such Investor (the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to such Investor or such credit is so required to be made to the account of such Investor or its designee at DTC pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). If the Company fails on or prior to the Required Delivery Date to either (i) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to such Investor a certificate representing such Commitment Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (ii) cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the balance account of such Investor or its designee at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Commitment Shares represented by the certificate delivered by such Investor pursuant hereto, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Investor, the Company shall pay in cash to such Investor on each day after the Required Delivery Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Commitment Shares not issued to such Investor on a timely basis and to which such Investor is entitled and (B) the VWAP for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails to so properly deliver such unlegended certificates or so properly credit the account of such Investor or its designee at DTC by the Required Delivery Date, and if on or after the Required Delivery Date such Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Investor of shares of Common Stock that such Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after such Investor’s request, pay cash to such Investor in an amount equal to such Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver a certificate or credit such Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled.

Section 10.2. Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i) The Company and the Investors acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

(ii) Each of the Company and the Investors (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the State of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Investors consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

(iii) EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

Either party hereto may from time to time change its address for notices by giving at least 10 days advance written notice of such changed address to the other party hereto.

Section 10.5. Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Trading Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercises thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 10.6. Headings. The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

Section 10.7. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and 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 shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents. In addition, each and every reference to share prices (including the Floor Prices) and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful currency of the United States of America.

Section 10.8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of each of the Investors, which may be withheld or delayed in each Investor’s sole discretion, including by any Fundamental Transaction. None of the Investors may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.9. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Article IX, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

Section 10.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.11. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investors contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article V (Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company), Article VIII (Termination), Article IX (Indemnification) and this Article X (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely notwithstanding such termination, and, (ii) so long as any of the Investors owns any Securities, the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in Article VI (Additional Covenants), shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of six months following such termination.

Section 10.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original and binding instrument and shall become effective when all counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. In the event any signature is delivered by facsimile, digital or electronic transmission, such transmission shall constitute delivery of the manually executed original and the party using such means of delivery shall thereafter cause four additional executed signature pages to be physically delivered to the other parties within five days of the execution and delivery hereof. Failure to provide or delay in the delivery of such additional executed signature pages shall not adversely affect the efficacy of the original delivery.

Section 10.13. Publicity. The Company shall afford each of the Investors and their counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, shall consult with each of the Investors and their counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from each of the Investors or their counsel on, any press release, Commission filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to any of the Investors, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to submit for review any such disclosure (i) contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure for review in connection with a previous filing or (ii) any Prospectus Supplement if it contains disclosure that does not reference any of the Investors, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 10.14. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 10.15. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of any of the Investors or the Company, each of the Company and the Investors shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.16. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with such Investor making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring such Investor’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Investor confirms that each Investor has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its counsel and advisors. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among the Investors.

(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(q)), at any time after the Effective Date of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the Company, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”), provided that the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately prior to the commencement of any Grace Period (except for such case where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading Day advance notice, in which case the Company shall provide such notice as soon as possible), notify each of the Investors in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to any of the Investors) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period ends, provided further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed 20 consecutive Trading Days and during any 365-day period all such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 60 Trading Days; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during any such Grace Period (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8), (II) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least three Trading Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the parties) after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during (A) the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the Effective Date of the particular Registration Statement or (B) the five-Trading Day period following each Settlement Date (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”).

Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to any Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of such Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

A-13

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which any Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Investor furnished to the Company by such Investor or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), such Investor will reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by such Investor pursuant to Section 9.

A-14

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Party or the Company Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or such Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). The Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

A-15

(d) No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such payments, such Investor Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such payments.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company Party or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7.	Contribution.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(b) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

(c) furnish to each of the Investors so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via XXXXX, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

(d) take such additional action as is reasonably requested by any of the Investors to enable such Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with such Investor and such Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by all of the parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

11.	Miscellaneous.

(a) Solely for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

It is accordingly agreed that (i) the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by any of the Investors and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required) , this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Company may be entitled by law or equity, and (ii) each of the Investors shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the Company and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Investor may be entitled by law or equity.

(d) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the 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, 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

(e) The Transaction Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties solely with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written, solely with respect to such matters. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, modify or affect in any manner whatsoever (i) the conditions precedent to a Draw Down contained in Article VII of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the condition precedent contained in Section 7.2(iii) thereof or (ii) any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

(f) Subject to compliance with Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

(g) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

(h) This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.

(i) Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) The obligations of each Investor under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with such Investor making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring such Investor’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Investor confirms that each Investor has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its counsel and advisors. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among the Investors.

Re: Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

[We are][I am] counsel to Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 8, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company and the Investors named therein (the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company will issue to the Holders from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the ”Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 20__, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-[3][1] (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Holders as underwriters and selling stockholders thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, based solely upon oral advice from the staff of the SEC, (i) the Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS], and (ii) no stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or overtly threatened.

This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement, provided the Registration Statement remains effective.

Very truly yours,

[ISSUER’S COUNSEL]

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the possible resale from time to time by the selling stockholders of any or all of the shares of common stock that have been or may be issued by us to the Investors under the Purchase Agreement. For additional information regarding the issuance of common stock covered by this prospectus, see “______________” elsewhere in this prospectus. We are registering the shares of common stock pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with the Investors on _______, 20__ in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for (i) [INCLUDE INFORMATION REGARDING JULY 2012 TRANSACTION] and (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, none of the Investors has had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below presents information regarding the selling stockholders and the shares of common stock that they may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders, and reflects holdings as of _________, 20__. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” means the Investors. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the shares of common stock that the selling stockholders may offer under this prospectus. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares in this offering. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of the shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock with respect to which the selling stockholders have voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a selling stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of ____________ shares of our common stock outstanding on ___________, 20__. Because the purchase price of the shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement is determined on each settlement date, the number of shares that may actually be sold by the Company under the Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

A-24

Name of Selling Stockholder	Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to Offering		Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus	Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned After Offering

	Number(1)	Percent(2)		Number(3)	Percent(2)

*	Represents beneficial ownership of less than one percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

(1)

This number represents the shares of common stock we issued to the Investor on [__________], 2013 as its Pro Rata Amount of Commitment Shares in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement with us. In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering all of the shares that the Investors may be required to purchase pursuant to draw downs under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to certain conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of the Investors’ control, including the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming and remaining effective. Also, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue shares of our common stock to the Investors to the extent that the Investors or any of their affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

(2)	Applicable percentage ownership is based on [______________] shares of our common stock outstanding as of __________, 2013.

(3)	Assumes the sale of all shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

(4)

[INCLUDE BUSINESS ADDRESS OF EACH INVESTOR] We have been advised that none of the Investors is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent broker-dealer, and that neither any Investor nor any of its affiliates is an affiliate or an associated person of any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer. [INCLUDE INFORMATION ON ULTIMATE BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF EACH INVESTOR]

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering shares of common stock that have been or may be issued by us from time to time to the Investors under the Purchase Agreement to permit the resale of these shares of common stock after the issuance thereof by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders may decide not to sell any shares of common stock. Each selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers that are engaged by any of the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Each of the selling stockholders is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders may also be deemed to be “underwriters,” and any profits on the sale of the shares of common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Each of the Investors has advised us that it will use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all resales of our common stock. To our knowledge, none of the Investors has entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any particular broker-dealer or market maker with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby, nor do we know the identity of the broker-dealers or market makers that may participate in the resale of the shares. Because each of the selling stockholders is, and any other selling stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may be deemed to be, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, the selling stockholders will (and any other selling stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may) be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, Sections 11, 12 and 17 thereof) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

●

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

●

in the over-the-counter market in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ;

A-26

●

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

●

through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.

Any broker-dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling stockholders (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser). Each of the Investors has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from such Investor which will not exceed customary brokerage commissions. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling stockholders, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above and pursuant to the one or more of the methods described above) at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions computed as described above. To the extent required under the Securities Act, an amendment to this prospectus or a supplemental prospectus will be filed, disclosing:

●

the name of any such broker-dealers;

A-27

●

the number of shares involved;

●

the price at which such shares are to be sold;

●

the commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable;

●

that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as supplemented; and

●

other facts material to the transaction.

Each of the Investors has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Underwriters and purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids. The selling stockholders and any other person participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act), which may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by, the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making and certain other activities with respect to the shares of common stock. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the shares of common stock in the market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We have agreed to pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[ ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; provided, however, the Investors will pay all selling commissions, concessions and discounts, and other amounts payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, as well as transfer taxes and certain other expenses associated with the sale of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify each of the Investors and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Each of the Investors has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by such Investor specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

A-28

At any time a particular offer of the shares of common stock is made by a selling stockholder, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed. Such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the disclosure of any required additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of common stock. We may suspend the sale of shares by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

FORM OF OPINION OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 7.1(iv) OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 8, 2013 AMONG LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND THE INVESTORS NAMED THEREIN

[Company Counsel’s Letterhead]

1.	The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms thereof. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities) have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, except for any consent or authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof in connection with the delivery of a Draw Down Notice to the Investor, no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required.

Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities) do not and will not: (i) violate the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (the “Governing Documents”); (ii) violate the general corporation law of the State of Delaware, or any federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company which , in our experience is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents without having made any special investigation as to the applicability or any other specific statute, law, rule, or regulation; (iii) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company, or, except for the Company’s filing with the Commission of a Form D pursuant to Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company, in each case, under the general corporation law of the State of Delaware or any federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company which , in our experience is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents without having made any special investigation as to the applicability or any other specific statute, law, rule, or regulation; (iv) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Recently Filed Agreement or, to our knowledge without any independent investigation, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2012 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document filed after the 2012 Form 10-K; (v) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any Recently Filed Agreement or, to our knowledge without independent investigation, any agreement or commitment to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2012 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document filed after the 2012 Form 10-K; or (vi) to our knowledge, result in a violation of any federal or state order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected. The term “Recently Filed Agreement” means the Change of Control Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 17, 2013.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by you in the Purchase Agreement and your compliance with the covenants made by you in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the offering, sale and issuance of the Securities in accordance with the Transaction Documents is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

When issued in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, charges, taxes, security interests, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, preemptive or similar rights and other encumbrances under the Company’s Governing Documents, the Delaware General Corporation Law, any Recently Filed Agreement, or, to our knowledge without independent investigation, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2012 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document filed after the 2012 Form 10-K. When issued and paid for in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, charges, taxes, security interests, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, preemptive or similar rights and other encumbrances under the Company’s Governing Documents, the Delaware General Corporation Law, any Recently Filed Agreement, or, to our knowledge without any independent investigation, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2012 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document filed after the 2012 Form 10-K. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other person for the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived.

D-5

To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary which questions the validity of any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents or the Disclosure Schedule, to our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets.

FORM OF OPINION OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 7.2(xv) OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 8, 2013 AMONG LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND THE INVESTORS NAMED THEREIN

[Company Counsel’s Letterhead]

The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act. With your consent, based solely on a telephonic confirmation by a member of the Staff of the Commission on [__________], 2013, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated or, to our knowledge threatened, by the Commission. Any required filing of the Prospectus and a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act has been made in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act.

The Registration Statement, as of the date it became effective, and the Prospectus and each Prospectus Supplement, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements for registration statements on Form S-[3][1] under the Act; it being understood, however, that we express no opinion with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, the notes thereto, and schedules or other financial and statistical data included in or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and each Prospectus Supplement are correct and complete.

[The following to be set forth in a separate letter from Company Counsel]

We have acted as counsel to Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the issuance and sale of up to $20.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2013, among you, the Company and certain other investors named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”).

We refer to (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-[ ]) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the exhibits thereto, the documents incorporated by reference therein under the rules and regulations of the Commission and the documents otherwise deemed to be part thereof or included therein by the rules and regulations of the Commission, as the “Registration Statement” and (ii) the final prospectus, dated [ ], including the documents incorporated by reference therein under the rules and regulations of the Commission, in the form filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, as the “Prospectus.”

D-7

The purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature. Therefore, we are not passing upon, and do not take any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any exhibits to the Registration Statement or Prospectus and have not made an independent check or verification thereof. As counsel to the Company, we have, however, reviewed the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters.

For purposes of this letter, the phrases “our attention” and “caused us to believe” refer to the actual knowledge of the individual lawyers at this firm who have participated directly and substantively in the specific transaction to which this letter relates.

Subject to the foregoing and solely on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement at the time the Registration Statement became effective contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Prospectus as of its date and as of the date hereof contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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; provided, however, that in each case we express no belief with respect to any financial statements or related notes, financial schedules or other financial, statistical or accounting data or information, or assessments of or reports on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, or exhibits contained or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

This letter is furnished solely to you and for your benefit in your capacity as an underwriter of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose. This letter may not be assigned, quoted, furnished or circulated to, or relied upon for any purpose by, any other person or entity (including any person or entity purchasing any of the Common Stock from you) or filed with or furnished to any governmental agency without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion.
