Regardless of the Advance requested in an Advance Notice, the final number of Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to such Advance Notice shall be reduced (if at all) in accordance with each of the following limitations: (a) Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor will inform the Company in writing of the number of Common Shares the Investor currently beneficially owns. At the request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any Common Shares under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Common Shares beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its Affiliates (on an aggregated basis) to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.

Any increase in the Ownership

14 Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. Since the Investor will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of Shares it may hold at the time of an Advance Notice, unless the Advance Notice at issue would result in the issuance of Shares in excess of the Ownership Limitation without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Investor or an Affiliate thereof, the Investor shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2.02 will limit any particular Advance Notice and to the extent that the Investor determines that the limitation contained in this Section 2.02 applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of the applicable Advance Notice shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Investor. (b) Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the Registration Statement then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event. (c) Compliance with Rules of Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect any sales under this Agreement and the Investor shall not have the obligation to purchase Shares under this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such purchase and sale the aggregate number of Common Shares issued under this Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the execution date of this Agreement, which number shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of Common Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the applicable rules of the Principal Market (such maximum number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”) unless the Company has obtained Stockholder Approval for the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market. In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice. (d) [Reserved]. (e) Volume Threshold Limitation In connection with any Advance Notice, if the total number of Common Shares traded on the Principal Market during the applicable Pricing Period (excluding any Block Trades and, in the case of a Regular Purchase Pricing Period, any Excluded Days in the case of), is less than the applicable Volume Threshold (the “Volume Threshold Failure”), then the number of Advance Shares issued and sold pursuant to such Advance Notice shall automatically be reduced to the greater of (i) the applicable Volume Limit and (ii) the number of Shares sold by the Investor during such Pricing Period (the “Volume Adjusted Advance Amount”), but in each case not to exceed the amount requested in the Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.02. (f) [Reserved]. (g) [Reserved]. (h) Advance Halt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period an Advance Halt exists, the parties agree that the Pricing Period of the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Common Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of such Advance Halt, but in each case not to exceed the amount requested in the Advance Notice (the “Halt Adjusted Advance Amount”). (i) Adjusted Advance Amount. For avoidance of doubt, in connection with a given Pricing Period for which a Volume Adjusted Advance Amount or a Halt Adjusted Advance Amount applies, the Advance Shares for such Pricing Period shall be automatically adjusted to the lower of (i) the Volume Adjusted Advance Amount, and (ii) the

15 Halt Adjusted Advance Amount, but in each case not to exceed the amount requested in the Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.02 (the “Adjusted Advance Amount”). Section 2.03. Unconditional Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice from the Company the Parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both Parties for the purchase and sale of Advance Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 6.20, the Investor may sell Common Shares after receipt of an Advance Notice, including during a Pricing Period. Section 2.04. Closings. The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Advance Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable on each applicable Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Company acknowledges that the final number of Common Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance Notice and the Purchase Price will not be known at the time an Advance Notice is delivered but shall be determined on each Closing based on the daily prices of the Common Shares that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price, the Volume Threshold and the Adjusted Advance Amount.

(b) Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Within one (1) Trading Day following the receipt of the Advance Shares by the Investor, the Investor shall pay to the Company the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Advance Shares (as set forth in the Settlement Document), in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Common Shares by the Investor, the Common Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of such Common Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Common Shares pursuant to the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption). (c) On or prior to the applicable Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies the Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties hereto agree that any pending Advance shall end and the final number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period.

In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and all of its and their officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Investor will only be liable for written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor; or (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor.

26 Section 5.03. Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Article V except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. 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 reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee 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 Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee reasonably apprised 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, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, 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 Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due. Section 5.04. Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement. Section 5.05. Limitation of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall seek, nor shall any be entitled to recover from the other party be liable for, special, incidental, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages. Article VI. Covenants The Company covenants with the Investor, and the Investor covenants with the Company, as follows, which covenants of one party are for the benefit of the other party, during the Commitment Period: Section 6.01. Effective Registration Statement. From the time that the initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and continuing thereafter during the Commitment Period, the Company shall maintain the continuous effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed with the SEC under the Securities Act pursuant to and in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. Section 6.02. Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Shares and the listing of the Shares on the Principal Market and to comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market; provided that if the Company receives any final and non-appealable notice that the listing or quotation of the Common Shares on the Principal Market shall be terminated on a date certain or if the Company fails to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Principal Market, the Company shall promptly (and in any case within 24 hours) notify the Investor of such fact

27 in writing and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Shares to be listed or quoted on another Principal Market. Section 6.03. Blue Sky. The Company shall take such action, if any, as is necessary by the Company in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares for issuance by the Company to the Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and at the request of the Investor, the subsequent resale of Registrable Securities by the Investor, in each case, under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor from time to time during the Commitment Period; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify, (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. Section 6.04. Suspension of Registration Statement. (a) Establishment of a Black Out Period. During the Commitment Period, the Company from time to time may suspend the use of a Registration Statement by written notice to the Investor in the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Black Out Period”). (b) No Sales by Investor During the Black Out Period. During such Black Out Period, the Investor agrees not to sell any Common Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement, but may sell Common Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration, if available, subject to the Investor’s compliance with Applicable Laws. (c) Limitations on the Black Out Period. The Company shall not impose any Black Out Period that is longer than 45 days or in a manner that is more restrictive (including, without limitation, as to duration) than the comparable restrictions that the Company may impose on transfers of the Company’s equity securities by its directors and senior executive officers. In addition, the Company shall not deliver any Advance Notice during any Black Out Period. If the public announcement of such material, nonpublic information is made during a Black Out Period, the Black Out Period shall terminate after the end of the first Trading Day after such announcement, and the Company shall immediately notify the Investor of the termination of the Black Out Period.

As of each Advance Notice Date, the Common Shares to be issued and sold by the Company from time to time hereunder will have been registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and approved for listing on the Principal Market, subject to official notice of issuance. As of each Advance Notice Date, the Common Shares shall not have been limited or suspended from trading on the Principal Market (other than suspensions of not more than two (2) Trading Days and occurring prior to the applicable date of determination due to business announcements by the Company) nor shall delisting or suspension by the Principal Market have been threatened (with a reasonable prospect of delisting occurring after giving effect to all applicable notice, appeal, compliance and hearing periods (it being understood by the Company and the Investor that no reasonable prospect of delisting will occur prior to the Company holding an annual or special meeting of its stockholders in order to obtain Stockholder Approval, including any postponement thereof) or any communications from the Principal Market related to such notice that do not actually effect the delisting or suspension of the Common Shares) or be reasonably likely to occur or pending as evidenced by (A) a writing by such Principal Market or (B) the Company falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of the Principal Market on which the Common Shares are then listed, provided that the Investor may waive such condition at the Investor’s sole option. Section 6.06. Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the date of the delivery by the Company of the first Advance Notice, the Investor shall have received an opinion letter from counsel to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor.

Section 6.08. Legal Opinions; Restrictive Legends. The Company is obligated to cause its legal counsel to deliver legal opinions to the Transfer Agent in connection with any legend removal requested pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 144, within one (1) Trading Day of such legend removal request, subject to the Investor providing customary representations and other documentation, if any, as reasonably requested by the Company, its counsel or the Transfer Agent. In addition, within one (1) Trading Day after the initial Registration Statement which covers the Shares is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause its legal counsel to deliver, to the Transfer Agent (with copies to the Investor) a legal opinion stating that such Shares are registered for resale pursuant to such Registration Statement that has been declared effective by the SEC and that any restrictive legends on the Shares shall be removed in connection with the resale of such Shares by the Investor pursuant to such Registration Statement. To the extent that a legal opinion is not provided (either timely or at all), then, in addition to being a breach of the covenant in this Section 6.08 hereunder, the Company agrees to reimburse the Investor for all costs incurred by the Investor in connection with any legal opinions paid for by the Investor in connection with the sale or transfer of the Shares. The Investor shall notify the Company of any such costs and expenses it incurs that are referred to in this section from time to time and all amounts owed hereunder shall be paid by the Company promptly. Section 6.09. Transfer Agent Instructions. For any time while there is a Registration Statement in effect for this transaction, the Company shall (if required by the transfer agent for the Common Shares) deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Shares (with a copy to the Investor) (i) instructions to issue Common Shares to the Investor free of restrictive legends upon each Advance if the delivery of such instructions are consistent with Applicable Law, in each case supported as needed by an opinion from legal counsel for the Company and (ii) an opinion of Company counsel, stating that Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) is available as an exemption from registration for the resale of the Common Shares.

The Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Advance Notice, and the Company shall not sell any Shares pursuant to any pending Advance Notice (other than as required pursuant to Section 2.01), during the continuation of any of the foregoing events (each of the events described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (ii), inclusive, a “Material Outside Event”). Section 6.12. Consolidation. If an Advance Notice has been delivered to the Investor, then the Company shall not effect any consolidation of the Company with or into, or a transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to another entity before the transaction contemplated in such Advance Notice has been closed in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof, and all Shares in connection with such Advance have been received by the Investor.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 6.19(b), the Investor covenants that from and after the date hereof through and including the Trading Day following the expiration or termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.01 (the “Restricted Period”), none of the Investor or any entity managed or directly controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares, or (ii) engage in any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Shares, in each case either for its own principal account or for the principal account of any other Restricted Person (each instance, as applicable, a “Short Sale”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Shares; or (2) selling a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Advance Shares that such Restricted Person is unconditionally obligated to purchase under a pending Advance Notice but has not yet received from the Company or the transfer agent pursuant to this Agreement.

Upon receipt of the third-party offer, the Company shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Investor (the “Offer Notice”) and provide copies of the pending transaction documents. Should the Investor be unwilling or unable to provide such capital or financing to the Company within two (2) Trading Days from the Investor’s receipt of the Offer Notice from the Company, then the Company may obtain such capital or financing from such third party on the exact same terms and conditions offered by the Company to the Investor and such transaction must be completed within seven (7) Trading Days of the date of the Offer Notice. If the Company does not receive the capital or financing from the respective third party within seven (7) Trading Days of the date of the respective Offer Notice, then the Company must again offer the capital or financing opportunity to the Investor as described above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated. A “Bona Fide Offer” is one in which the third party purchaser is irrevocably and contractually bound to purchase the subject securities from the Company, subject to the Investor’s right of first refusal.

The proxy statement, if any, shall solicit each of the Company’s stockholders’ affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of the proposal (“Stockholder Proposal”) to authorize the issuance of all of the Shares issuable hereunder in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval”, and the date such Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such proposal(s) and to cause the board of directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal(s).
