(g) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and the Warrants were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.
(h) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (Rule 144), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
(i) General. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(j) Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by the Purchasers under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Shares. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Preferred Shares and Warrants.
(k) Risk of Loss; No Public Market. Each Purchaser understands that its investment in the Preferred Shares and Warrants involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of such Purchasers investment.

Section 3.7 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock and Warrants without the consent of Purchasers holding more than fifty percent (50%) of all Preferred Stock. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any holders of the Preferred Stock and Warrants to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to Purchasers holding Preferred Stock representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Purchasers holding more than fifty percent (50%) of all shares issuable upon exercise of all Warrants, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any material agreements with any Purchasers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. All agreements with any Purchasers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents shall be disclosed to Purchasers in the Initial Closing.

Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, and (z) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to rights of first refusal contained in agreements providing for such rights.
Section 3.10 Use of Proceeds. An estimated allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder is set forth on Schedule 3.10 hereto.

Section 3.11 Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.

The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.12 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.12 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.12 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.12, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Section 3.14 Reporting Status. Unless the Company obtains written consent of Purchasers holding Preferred Stock representing more than fifty percent (50%) of all Preferred Stock and so long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Preferred Stock, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not cease filing reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

Section 3.17 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section 3.18 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
Section 3.19 DTC. Not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 7.1), the Company shall cause its Common Stock to be eligible for transfer with its transfer agent pursuant to the Depository Trust Company Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.

Section 3.22 Mergers and Acquisitions. Unless the Company obtains written consent of Purchasers holding Preferred Stock representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding amount of Preferred Stock or until such time that all Preferred Stock has been converted into Conversion Shares, the Company shall not by operation of law or otherwise, merge with, consolidate with, acquire all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of, or otherwise combine with, any partnership, joint venture, trust, association, corporation, limited liability company or other entity.

Stock Certificate Legend
Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, and, if appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or blue sky laws):
THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE SECURITIES) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or blue sky laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer
under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or blue sky laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or blue sky laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares is then in effect), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser or such Purchasers Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (DTC) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).
ARTICLE VI
Indemnification
Section 6.1 Indemnification of Purchasers. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, attorneys, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by any such persons as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.
Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an indemnified party) will give prompt written notice to the party required to provide indemnification under this Article VI (the indemnifying party) of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so
assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified partys costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully 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 indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified partys prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
Section 6.3 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, the indemnities provided for herein shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any indemnified party for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants.

If at any time when there is not an effective Registration Statement covering the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (a Registration Statement) relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall send to each holder of the Preferred Shares and Warrants written notice of such determination and, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or within such shorter period of time as may be specified by the Company in such written notice as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations with respect to the timing of the filing of such Registration Statement, any such holder shall so request
in writing (which request shall specify the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares intended to be disposed of by the Purchasers, if any), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares so to be registered; provided that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay fees and expenses in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares being registered pursuant to this Section 7.1 for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares such holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 7.1 that are eligible for resale without limitations concerning the availability of current public information pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in such Registration Statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such Registration Statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such Registration Statement of fewer or none of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares of the holders, then (x) the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares of the holders included in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such holders (based upon the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, or (y) none of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares of the Holders shall be included in such Registration Statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares intended to be offered by the holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).
Section 7.2 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Purchaser hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Purchaser to any person who acquires all or a portion of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares if: (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or
assignment, furnished with written notice of (A) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (B) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless such securities are registered in a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 7.1 (in which case the Company shall be obligated to amend such Registration Statement to reflect such transfer or assignment) or are otherwise exempt from registration, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 7.2, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement. In addition, each Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other person with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Purchasers (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.
Section 7.3 Underwriter Status. Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Company may not deem any Purchaser to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act within any Registration Statement nor file any such Registration Statement that deems such Purchaser to be an underwriter without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

Section 8.13 Publicity.
