ARTICLE VI.

DRAW DOWN TERMS; CALL OPTION

Section 6.1 Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to Section 6.3 below, the parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing) as follows:

(a) The Company may, in its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice (as defined in Section 6.1(j) hereof) for a specified Draw Down Amount Requested of up to (i) $6,000,000 if the Threshold Price for the Draw Down Amount Requested as set forth in such Draw Down Notice is equal to or greater than $10.00 and less than $25.00 or (ii) $8,000,000 if the Threshold Price for the Draw Down Amount Requested as set forth in such Draw Down Notice is equal to or greater than $25.00, which Draw Down and Draw Down Notice the Purchaser will be obligated to accept. The date the Company issues any Draw Down Notice in accordance with this Section 6.1 shall be a “Draw Down Exercise Date” for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 6.1(i) below, the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Purchaser in connection with each Draw Down shall be equal to the sum of the quotients (for each Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price) of (x) 1/18th (or such other fraction based on the length of the Draw Down Pricing Period) of the Draw Down Amount divided by (y) the specified percentage of the VWAP set forth in Section 6.1(k) hereof or such other percentage mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company (the “Draw Down Discount Price”) of the Common Stock.

(d) Each Draw Down shall be settled on the second Trading Day after the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Settlement Date”).

(e) There shall be a minimum of five (5) Trading Days between the end of a Draw Down Pricing Period and the commencement of the next Draw Down Pricing Period.

(f) There shall be a maximum of twenty-four (24) Draw Downs during the Investment Period.

(g) At the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period, the Purchaser’s total Draw Down commitment under this Agreement (which as of the Effective Date equals $100,000,000 of shares of Common Stock or the Nasdaq Limit, whichever occurs first) shall be reduced by the total amount of the Draw Down Amount and the Call Option Amount, if any, for such Draw Down Pricing Period.

(h) Each Draw Down will automatically expire immediately after the last Trading Day of each Draw Down Pricing Period.

(i) If the VWAP on a given Trading Day in the Draw Down Pricing Period is less than the Threshold Price, then the total amount of the Draw Down Amount Requested will be reduced by 1/18th (or such other fraction based on the length of the Draw Down Pricing Period) and no Shares will be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below. If trading in the Common Stock is suspended for any reason for more than three (3) hours in any Trading Day, the price of the Common Stock may, at the Purchaser’s option, be deemed to be below the Threshold Price for that Trading Day. For each Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period that the VWAP is below the Threshold Price, the Purchaser may elect in its sole discretion to purchase the Common Stock at the Threshold Price multiplied by the applicable percentage set forth in Section 6.1(k) at the end of such Draw Down Pricing Period. The Purchaser will inform the Company via facsimile transmission no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period as to the number of Shares, if any, the Purchaser chooses to purchase under such circumstances.

(j) As a condition to exercise of any Draw Down, the Company must provide a notice to the Purchaser of the Company’s exercise of any Draw Down via facsimile transmission before commencement of trading on the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period covered by such notice (the “Draw Down Notice”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested, set the Threshold Price for such Draw Down, designate the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period and specify the Call Option(s), if any, that the Company wishes to grant to the Purchaser during the Draw Down Pricing Period and the applicable Threshold Price for such Call Option (the “Call Option Threshold Price”). At no time shall the Purchaser be required to purchase more than $8,000,000 of the Common Stock for a given Draw Down Pricing Period (excluding the Common Stock purchased pursuant to a Call Option).

(k) With respect to any Draw Down, if the Market Capitalization is equal to or above $1 billion, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 96.20% of the VWAP. If the Market Capitalization is below $1 billion and equal to or above $750 million, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 95.70% of the VWAP. If the Market Capitalization is below $750 million and equal to or above $500 million, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 95.20% of the VWAP. From $500 million to $300 million, for each $100 million decrease in Market Capitalization, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be decreased by 0.50% incrementally.

(l) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Purchaser to the Purchaser or its designees via DWAC, against payment therefor to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, provided that the Shares are received by the Purchaser no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), or of next day available funds if the Shares are received thereafter. In certain circumstances and as set forth in

Section 9.1(b), a failure by the Company to deliver such Shares may result in the payment of liquidated damages by the Company to the Purchaser.

(m) If during a Draw Down Pricing Period the Company elects to reduce the number of Trading Days in such Draw Down Pricing Period, the Company will notify the Purchaser before commencement of trading on any Trading Day (a “Section 6.1(m) Notice”) and the last Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day preceding the receipt of the Section 6.1(m) Notice; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Section 6.1(m) Notice during trading hours on a Trading Day, then the last Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day on which the Section 6.1(m) Notice was received by the Purchaser.

The Purchaser will purchase the Truncated Draw Down Allocation Amount for each of the Trading Days prior to receipt of the Section 6.1(m) Notice, for an aggregate purchase price determined in accordance with clauses (b) and (i) of this Section 6.1.

In addition, upon receipt of the Section 6.1(m) Notice, the Purchaser may, at its option, elect to purchase Shares in an additional dollar amount equal to the product of the Draw Down Amount Requested, first multiplied by (x) a fraction, the numerator of which equals one (1) and the denominator of which equals eighteen (18) or such other number of Trading Days in such Draw Down Pricing Period as the parties may have mutually agreed upon with respect to such Draw Down Pricing Period (eighteen or such other mutually agreed upon number being referred to herein as the “Trading Day Number”), and next multiplied by (y) that number that is equal to the Trading Day Number minus the number of Trading Days in the reduced Draw Down Pricing Period. The price per share for such additional dollar amount shall equal (i) the aggregate total of Truncated Draw Down Allocation Amounts during the reduced Draw Down Pricing Period divided by (ii) the number of Shares to be purchased during such reduced Draw Down Pricing Period.

Upon receipt of the Section 6.1(m) Notice, the Purchaser may (x) elect to purchase the Common Stock at the Threshold Price for any Trading Day that the VWAP was below the Threshold Price during the reduced Draw Down Pricing Period in accordance with Section 6.1(i) hereof, (y) elect to purchase the Common Stock in the additional amount as set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section 6.1(m), and (z) elect to exercise any unexercised Call Options (for a Call Option Amount not in excess of $1,000,000) by issuing a Call Option Notice to the Company, in each such case, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Trading Day after the end of the reduced Draw Down Pricing Period. The exercise price of the Call Option shall be based on the VWAP on the last Trading Day of the reduced Draw Down Pricing Period (in lieu of the VWAP as specified in clause (A) of Section 6.2(b) hereof) and otherwise determined in accordance with Section 6.2(b) hereof.

The Settlement Date for the Draw Down Amount and any Call Options exercised during a reduced Draw Down Pricing Period shall be the second Trading Day after receipt of the Section 6.1(m) Notice.

Section 6.2 Purchaser’s Call Option. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to Section 6.3 below, the parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing) as follows:

(a) The Company may, in its sole discretion, grant to the Purchaser the right to exercise one (1) or more Call Options during each Draw Down Pricing Period for a specified Call Option Amount Requested; provided, however, that (i) each Call Option Amount Requested shall be for a minimum of $50,000, (ii) the aggregate total of all Call Option Amounts Requested during a Draw Down Pricing Period may not exceed $8,000,000, and (iii) the Call Option Amount on any Trading Day during the Draw Down Pricing Period may not exceed $1,000,000. The Call Option Amount Requested and the Call Option Threshold Price shall be set forth in the Draw Down Notice.

(b) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with each Call Option shall equal (i) the Call Option Amount divided by (ii) the applicable percentage set forth in this Section 6.2(b) multiplied by the greater of (A) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the day the Purchaser issues its Call Option Notice or (B) the Call Option Threshold Price. If the Market Capitalization is equal to or above $1 billion, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 96.20% of the VWAP. If the Market Capitalization is below $1 billion and equal to or above $750 million, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 95.70% of the VWAP. If the Market Capitalization is below $750 million and equal to or above $500 million, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 95.20% of the VWAP. From $500 million to $300 million, for each $100 million decrease in Market Capitalization, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be decreased by 0.50% incrementally.

(d) The Call Option Threshold Price designated by the Company in its Draw Down Notice shall apply to each Call Option.

(e) For each Call Option that the Purchaser exercises pursuant to this Section 6.2, as a condition to such exercise the Purchaser must issue a Call Option Notice (as defined in Section 1.1(h) hereof) to the Company no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day such Call Option is exercised. If the Purchaser does not exercise a Call Option by 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last day of the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period, the Purchaser’s Call Options with respect to that Draw Down Pricing Period shall automatically terminate.

Section 6.3 Aggregate Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice or grant a Call Option to the extent that the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices or Call Options issued hereunder would cause the Company to sell or the Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock which in the aggregate are in excess of the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice or Call Option that otherwise would permit the Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases by Purchaser hereunder to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice or Call Option shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice or Call Option together with the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of all other Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser pursuant hereto would exceed the Aggregate Limit.

ARTICLE VII.

TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Term, Termination by Mutual Consent. Unless earlier terminated as provided hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) twenty eight (28) consecutive months from the Effective Date (the “Investment Period”), (ii) the date that the entire dollar amount of Shares registered under the Registration Statement have been issued and sold and (iii) the date the Purchaser shall have purchased the first to occur of $100,000,000 of shares of Common Stock or the Nasdaq Limit. The Company may terminate this Agreement effective upon three (3) days’ written notice to the Purchaser under Section 9.4; provided, however, that such termination does not occur during a Draw Down Pricing Period or prior to a Settlement Date. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual written consent of the parties, effective as of the date of such mutual written consent unless otherwise provided in such written consent.

Section 7.2 Other Termination. The Company shall inform the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within the subsequent thirty (30) days (the “Event Period”), effective upon written notice to the Company under Section 9.4 in the Event Period, if during the Investment Period (x) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with any third party, the principal purpose of which is to secure any equity financing which provides for (i) the issuance of the Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at a discount to the then current market price of the Common Stock, other than an underwritten public offering or an Acceptable Financing (as defined in Section 4.7(b) hereof), or (ii) the implementation by the Company of a mechanism for the reset of the purchase price of the Common Stock to below the then current market price of the Common Stock, or (y) an event resulting in a Material Adverse Effect or Material Change in Ownership has occurred. In such event, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) business day’s prior written notice during the Event Period.

Section 7.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the Purchaser, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party as provided in Section 9.4 and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.1 or 7.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 9.9 hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the Company and the Purchaser to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 General Indemnity.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, Carlin and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or Carlin within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys’ fees) to which the Purchaser, Carlin and each such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement relating to Common Stock being sold to the Purchaser (including any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement relating thereto), or any amendment or supplement to it, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Company will reimburse the Purchaser, Carlin and each such controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser, Carlin or such controlling person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, except that the Company will not be liable to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included in any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by either the Purchaser, Carlin to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement.

(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys fees) to which the Company and each such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included in any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement to it a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or an amendment or

supplement to it.

The Purchaser will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the other person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising out of, or based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included in any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after a person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party 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 indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified 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 indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.1 as to which it is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the

relative benefits of the sale of such Shares, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

ARTICLE IX.
