There is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, claim, investigation or inquiry pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by or before any governmental body against the Company which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, nor are there any orders, writs, injunctions, judgments or decrees outstanding of any court or government agency or instrumentality and binding upon the Company or its affiliates that would reasonably be expected to have a similar material adverse effect on the Company or its operations.

h. No Conflicts.

i. Non-public Information. The Company has not disclosed, and will not disclose knowingly while the Investors owns any Securities, to the Investors any material, non-public information of the Company.

The Company and each of its subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.

m. Tax Status. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. 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 know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.

n. No Brokers; No Solicitation. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges and agrees that none of the Investors nor its employee(s), member(s), beneficial owner(s), or partner(s) solicited the Company to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions described in this Agreement.

o. Permits; Compliance. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is in possession of all material franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there is no action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

p. Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases.

r. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

s. Insurance. The Company and each of 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 any reason to believe that it will not be able 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 on the Company. Upon written request the Company will provide to the Investors true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.

t. Use of Proceeds. The Company covenants and warrants that it will use the proceeds received from the Investors as working capital and general corporate purposes.

11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE INVESTORS. Each of the Investors, by its acceptance of this Agreement, severally and not jointly represents and warrants to Company as follows:

a. Investor is acquiring the Securities for its own account and not with a view towards distribution.

b. Investor is an “accredited investor” within the definition contained in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Investor has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current needs and contingencies and is able to sustain a complete loss of the investment in the Securities purchase, and has no need for liquidity in such investment. Investor, itself or through its officers, employees or agents, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment such as an investment in the Securities, and Investor, either alone or through its officers, employees or agents, has evaluated the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.

c. Investor acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the Securities hereunder based upon its own inspection, examination and determination with respect thereto as to all matters, and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to the Company.

d. Investor has no contract, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder, investment bank, financial intermediary or similar agent with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

e. Authorization. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Investor, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Investor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

f. Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Investor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which it was incorporated and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.

g. No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, nor the purchase of the Securities, will conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, agreement, mortgage, indenture, lease, instrument, order, judgment, statute, law, rule or regulation to which the Investor is subject.

12. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

a. If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the date 30 days from the Effective Date, (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date 90 days from the Effective Date, or (iii) any registration statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective by the Commission but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose (each such event referred to as a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) to each of the Investors in an amount equal to 5% of the amount already paid by such Investor during each month that such Registration Default continues, which Liquidated Damages shall be increased to 10% of the amount already paid by such Investor during each month if the Registration Statement is not effective within 150 days from the Effective Date. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular registrable Securities, Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue; provided, however, that, if after Liquidated Damages have ceased to accrue, a different Registration Default occurs, Liquidated Damages shall again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid in cash denominated in US currency by the fifth (5^th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued.

b. If the Company fails to deliver any Securities due the Investors hereunder within three (3) business days (“Delivery Date”) of the date such Securities are to be delivered under the terms of this Agreement, and provided each of the Investors have delivered to the Company all applicable deliverables under Section 9 hereto, the Company shall pay to the Investors collectively in immediately available funds denominated in US currency $1,000.00 times the Proportional Amount per day past the Delivery Date until the Securities are delivered. However, should the Securities remain undelivered past the 7^th business day after the Delivery Date, then the Company shall pay to the Investors collectively $2,500 times the Proportional Amount per day until the Securities are actually delivered to the Investor. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5^th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued. The Company agrees that the right to receive Securities is a valuable right to the Investors and a material consideration of it entering this Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver ADSs as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Investor due to any such breach. The parties agree that this Section is not intended to in any way limit Investor’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief. For purposes of this subsection 12.b., the “Proportional Amount” is the fraction derived from dividing the number of Securities for which timely delivery has not occurred (as the numerator) by the sum of all Securities to be delivered at any time under this Agreement other than Warrants (as the denominator).

c. The Company and the Investors hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Liquidated Damages under subsection 12(a) and 12(b) above shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights of the Holders, including the right to call a default under this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to, the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Investors reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investors are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An event of default will occur if any of the following circumstances occur (each an “Event of Default”):

a. Any representation or warranty made by Company in this Agreement or in connection with any Transaction Documents, or in any financial statement, or any other statement furnished by Company to the Investors is untrue in any material respect at the time when made or becomes untrue.

b. Default by Company in the observance or performance of any obligation in this Agreement or Transaction Documents.

c. Filing by Company of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing.

d. Filing of an involuntary petition against Company in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended, or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing, and the continuance thereof for sixty (60) days undismissed, unbonded or undischarged.

e. Company liquidates, transfers, sells, or assigns substantially its assets or elects to wind down its operations or dissolve.

f. The Company fails to stay current in its SEC reporting obligations.

g. Default by the Company under the terms of any notes, debt obligations or warrant agreements with a party other than the Investors that exceeds a value of $1 million.

h. The Company fails to maintain DTC or DWAC eligibility.

i. The Company interferes with any Investor’s efforts to remove the restrictive legend from the Purchased ADSs and/or Warrant ADSs when such Investor has provided an attorney opinion letter opining that the Purchased ADSs and/or Warrant ADSs are eligible to have the legend removed pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise.

14. REMEDIES. (i) There will be no cure period available for the Event of Default as defined in Section 13(c) and 13(d); (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined above, and provided such Event of Default as defined in Section 13(a) and 13(b), and Section 13(e) through 13(l), has not been cured by the Company within three (3) business days after the occurrence of such Event of Default, the Investors shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable law and equity. To the extent permitted by law, Company waives any rights to presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement, and/or any Warrants. No failure or delay on the part of any Investor in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder or thereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided at law or in equity. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Investors will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The Company agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

15. NOTICE. Any and all notices, demands, advance requests or other communications required or desired to be given hereunder by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given or made to another party if (i) personally served, (ii) sent by email on the date such email is sent (provided confirmation of such email being sent is provided upon request) (iii) deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) by facsimile with confirmation receipt.
