ITEM 1.01            Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On November 12, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with unaffiliated accredited investors pursuant to which we issued units (consisting of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock) at a purchase price of $0.40 per unit, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2.4 million, which we will use for general corporate and working capital purposes. In the aggregate, we issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.40 per share and are exercisable beginning on May 11, 2014 and expire on November 11, 2018.
 
In connection with the private placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale by the investors the shares of common stock, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, sold to the investors in the private placement. The registration rights agreement contains a liquidated damages provision in the event that, among other things: (a) we fail to file the initial registration statement by November 22, 2013; (b) we fail to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond to SEC comments in respect of the registration statement within 20 business days after the receipt of SEC comments; (c) a registration statement registering for resale all of the registrable shares is not declared effective by 60 days after November 22, 2013; or (d) we fail to maintain the registration statement effective for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 30 calendar days during any 12-month period. In addition to other rights that the investors may have, in the event of any such breach, and on each monthly anniversary of each such breach if not cured, we must pay to each investor, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor.
 
The summary of the securities purchase agreement, the warrants and the registration rights agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the securities purchase agreement, the form of warrant and the registration rights agreement, each of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by this reference. The securities purchase agreement, the form of warrant and the registration rights agreement have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding their respective terms. Those agreements are not intended to provide any other factual information about our company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in those agreements were made only for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to those agreements, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors generally. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under any of the agreements and should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of our company or our subsidiaries. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.
 
Item 3.02            Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
The information provided in response to Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Each of the investors in the private placement were accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act).  The securities issued in the private placement were issued under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.  The offering was not conducted in connection with a public offering and neither the company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities without payment of any consideration for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Convertible Securities (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms thereof), (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or as a distribution as contemplated by clause (i) of this Section 2.5(a) ).

(c)        
Merger .  If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with or into another entity (other than any such transaction in which the Company is the surviving entity and which does not result in any reclassification or change in the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), then the Company will make provision to ensure that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or successor entity resulting from such transaction, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.

(d)        
Reclassification, Etc .  If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a change or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property resulting from such change or reclassification, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
 
(e)        
Adjustment in Number of Securities . Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.5 , the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise at the adjusted Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest number of whole shares of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
 
(f)        
Notice of Adjustment . Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.5 , the Company shall provide notice of such adjustment to the holder of this Warrant together with a statement, certified by the chief financial officer of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change in the Exercise Price of at least one cent ($0.01); provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 2.5(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
 
3.            Valid Issuance; Taxes .  All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided that Holder shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for Warrant Shares in any name other than that of Holder, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.

(a)         
the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the " Notice of Exercise "), duly executed by Holder, to the Company at its then principal office;
 
(b)         
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and
 
(c)         
payment in cash, by check or by wire transfer of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Exercise Price.
 
2.2            Cashless Exercise .  If at any time during the Exercise Period there is no effective registration statement registering the resale by Holder of the Warrant Shares, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
(A)
=
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Date
(B)
=
the Exercise Price of one share of Warrant Shares (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
(X)
=
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

If Holder elects to exercise this Warrant as provided in this Section 2.2 , Holder shall deliver this Warrant, along with the Notice of Exercise, duly executed by Holder, to the Company at its then principal office.
 
2.3            Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares .  As soon as practicable on or after any exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2 , the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share equal to such fraction of the current Fair Market Value of one whole share of Warrant Shares as of the date of exercise of this Warrant.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.
 
2.4            Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise .  In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise Date.  Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of the Warrant Shares to which it is entitled upon exercise of this Warrant as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.
 
24
 
2.5            Exercise Price Adjustment .  The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only upon the happening of the following events:
 
(a)        
Stock Dividend, Subdivision and Combination . In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities without payment of any consideration for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Convertible Securities (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms thereof), (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or as a distribution as contemplated by clause (i) of this Section 2.5(a) ). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
 
(b)        
Other Distributions .  If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or Convertible Securities), then the Company may, at its option, either (i) decrease the Exercise Price of this Warrant by an appropriate amount based upon the value distributed on each share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors or (ii) provide by resolution of the Company’s board of directors that on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise receivable on exercise hereof, the number of shares or other securities or property which would have been received had this Warrant at the time been exercised.
 
(c)        
Merger .  If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with or into another entity (other than any such transaction in which the Company is the surviving entity and which does not result in any reclassification or change in the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), then the Company will make provision to ensure that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or successor entity resulting from such transaction, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
 
25
 
(d)        
Reclassification, Etc .  If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a change or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property resulting from such change or reclassification, which would have been received by Holder for the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
 
(e)        
Adjustment in Number of Securities . Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.5 , the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise at the adjusted Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest number of whole shares of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
 
(f)        
Notice of Adjustment . Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.5 , the Company shall provide notice of such adjustment to the holder of this Warrant together with a statement, certified by the chief financial officer of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change in the Exercise Price of at least one cent ($0.01); provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 2.5(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
 
3.            Valid Issuance; Taxes .  All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided that Holder shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for Warrant Shares in any name other than that of Holder, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
 
4.            Loss or Mutilation .  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
 
5.            Reservation of Warrant Shares .  The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time as necessary, will take all steps necessary to amend its certificate of incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws.  Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
26
 
6.            Restrictions On Transfer .  Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Securities Act "), covering the disposition or sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such Holder shall not Transfer any or all of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, unless the Company has received a written opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that no such registration is required and that the transfer will not otherwise violate the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or applicable state securities laws.
 
7.            Notice of Record Date and Certain Other Events .  In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall mail to Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, a notice specifying such date.  In the event of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date of the occurrence of any such event, a notice specifying such date.  In the event the Company authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date of the closing of such event, a notice specifying such date.

ARTICLE II
SHELF REGISTRATION
 
2.1          Shelf Registration .
 
(a)     Filing . The Company shall, as soon as commercially reasonable, but in any event not later than the Filing Deadline, file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) to register the resale of Registrable Shares (the " Shelf "), provided that, if Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Shares hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Shares on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Shares on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that, during the Shelf Term (as defined below), the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf then in effect until such time as a Shelf on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Shares has been declared effective by the Commission.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf to become effective as promptly thereafter as practicable, but in any event not later than 60 days after the Filing Deadline if the Company receives comments to the Shelf from the Commission (" SEC Comments ") or five Business Days after the date that the Company is notified by the Commission that the Shelf will not be “reviewed” (such date, the " Effectiveness Deadline "); provided, however, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended on a day-for-day basis to the extent that the Commission's functions related to the processing and approvals of the Registration Statement is discontinued, suspended or otherwise shutdown. Subject to any SEC Comments, such Shelf shall include a plan of distribution substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Plan of Distribution "), as may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such Shelf shall also cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock which may become issuable with respect to the Registrable Shares to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.  Such Shelf shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any holder other than the Holders, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares. The Company shall give written notice of the expected filing of the Shelf (the " Registration Notice ") at least 10 Business Days prior to the filing thereof to each Holder and the Company shall include in the Shelf all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein at least five Business Days prior to the date of filing indicated in the Registration Notice; provided, however, that, in order to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf, each Holder must furnish to the Company a duly completed questionnaire in a form mutually acceptable to the parties, and any additional information as may be reasonably requested by the Company for the purpose of including such Holder's Registrable Shares in the Shelf (the " Selling Holder Information "). The Company shall include in the Shelf, Selling Holder Information received to the extent necessary and in a manner so that, upon effectiveness of the Shelf, any such Holder shall be named, to the extent required by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, as a selling securityholder and be permitted to deliver (or be deemed to deliver) a Prospectus relating to the Shelf to purchasers of the Registrable Shares in accordance with applicable law. If the Company files an amended version of the Shelf, including any post-effective amendment to the Shelf (the " Shelf Amendment "), the Company shall give written notice of such Shelf Amendment (the " Shelf Amendment Notice ") at least 10 Business Days prior to the filing thereof to each Holder and each Holder may be required, upon the Company's request, to provide updated Selling Holder Information, in writing, in the form included with the Company's Shelf Amendment Notice. The Company shall include in such Shelf Amendment, such updated Selling Holder Information, including any Selling Holder Information that was not included in any previously filed version of the Shelf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not include any Holder's Selling Holder Information on a Shelf Amendment to the extent that such Holder, at the time of the Shelf Amendment Notice, does not or, at the time of the Shelf Amendment filing, will not, hold Registrable Shares. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144 (such period, the " Shelf Term "). It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to include Registrable Shares of any Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that such Holder shall timely furnish to the Company (as a condition precedent to such Holder's participation in such registration) its Selling Holder Information in accordance with the terms hereof. Each selling Holder shall timely provide the Company with such information as may be reasonably requested to enable the Company to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration or a supplement to any Prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration.

(b)     Restrictions on Use . Upon written notice to the Holders of Registrable Shares, the Company shall be entitled to suspend, for a period of time (each, a " Suspension Period "), the use of any Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall not be required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference if the Company determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the Registration Statement or any Prospectus may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or may omit any fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading; provided, that (i) there are no more than four Suspension Periods during the Shelf Term, (ii) the duration of any one Suspension Period may not exceed 30 days, (iii) the duration of all Suspension Periods during the Shelf Term may not exceed 90 days and (iv) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Registration Statement and/or Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission as promptly as reasonably practicable, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, reasonably expects such amendment would have an adverse effect on the Company.
 
(c)     Cutback . If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act or requires any Holder to be named as an "underwriter," the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Shares and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Shares as the Commission may require to assure the Company's compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the " SEC Restrictions "); provided, however, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Holders is an “underwriter.” The Holders shall have the right to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the Commission to which the Holders’ counsel reasonably objects, and the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an "underwriter" in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. Any cut-back imposed on the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Holders otherwise agree, provided that the Company shall first remove from the Registration Statement the Registrable Shares represented by Warrant Shares prior to removing the Registrable Shares represented by Shares.  In the event the Company amends such Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Shares that were not registered for resale on such Registration Statement, as amended.
 
(d)     If: (i) the initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Deadline, or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 20 Business Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Shares is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Deadline of the initial Registration Statement other than due to SEC Restrictions, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Shares, for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 30 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period, provided that, solely in the event that the Company suspends effectiveness of the Registration Statement in connection with a corporate development that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, requires suspension under the Securities Act, such aggregate of 30 calendar days shall be extended to an aggregate of 60 calendar days (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “ Event ”, and the date of occurrence of such Event being referred to as “ Event Date ”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement shall be 10% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

(a)   before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, at the Company's expense, furnish to the Holders, if any, copies of all such documents, other than documents that are incorporated by reference, proposed to be filed and such other documents reasonably requested by the Holders and provide a reasonable opportunity for review and comment on such documents by the Holders;
 
(b)   notify each Holder of Registrable Shares of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement;
 
(c)   prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Term; provided, however, that the Company's obligations under this Section 2.2(b) shall not apply during any Suspension Period;
 
(d)   if the number of Registrable Shares at any time exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Shares.
 
(e)   furnish to each Holder who holds Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement (each, a " Selling Holder "), without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (which obligation shall be deemed satisfied if such material is available through EDGAR or on or through the Company's website), but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits;
 
(f)   (i) register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder reasonably requests, (ii) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the applicable Registration Statement remains in effect, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares owned by such Selling Holder in a manner substantially similar to those set forth in the Plan of Distribution (provided, that nothing contained herein or in the Plan of Distribution shall require the Company to (w) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (x) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, (y) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (z) participate in or effect any underwritten offering on behalf of or for the Holders of Registrable Shares);
 
(g)   notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such Selling Holder, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and
 
(h)   in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will notify each Selling Holder and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

2.3          Discontinue Disposition .  Each Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.2(g) , such Holder shall immediately discontinue such Holder's disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Shares until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.2(g) .
 
2.4          Indemnification .
 
(a)   The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees and stockholders, members or general and limited partners (and the directors, officers, employees and stockholders, members or general and limited partners thereof) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof (collectively, " Claims ") and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Company's prior written consent) to which each such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law or otherwise, insofar as such Claims or expenses arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a " Violation "): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, under which the Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) 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 indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.4(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to any indemnified party in any such case to the extent such Claim or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or its representatives by such indemnified party specifically for use therein, (B) any action or omission by any indemnified party in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, or (C) sales of Registrable Shares made during a Suspension Period after notice is given pursuant to Section 2.1(b) .
 
(b)   Each Holder of Registrable Shares that are included a Registration Statement filed with the Commission shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its officers, directors and employees, each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other prospective seller and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, general and limited partners and controlling Persons against any and all Claims and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with such Holder's prior written consent) to which each such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law or otherwise, insofar as such Claims or expenses arise out of or are based upon any Violation, if such Violation was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or its representatives by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.4(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
 
 
-6-

 
(c)   Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.4 , but the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.4 , except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.4 .  In case any action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party that it so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within 20 days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; or (ii) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor.  No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
 
(d)   If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 2.4 (a), (b) or (c), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to such offering of securities.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the Violation relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Violation.  If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 2.4 (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.4 (d) .  The amount paid or payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4 (d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.4 (d) to contribute any amount in excess of the gross proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Shares in the offering to which the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties relate, less the amount of any indemnification payment made by such indemnifying party pursuant to Section 2.4 (b) .
 
 
-7-

 
(e)   The indemnity and contribution provisions agreements contained in this Section 2.4 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Shares by any such party.
 
(f)   This Section 2.4 may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the indemnified party affected thereby. The provisions of this Section 2.4 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder of Registrable Shares or the Company or any of the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 2.4 , and will survive the transfer of Registrable Shares.
 
2.5          Registration Expenses . All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Shares registered shall be borne by the Holders of such Registrable Shares.
 
2.6          Rule 144 .  With a view to making available to the Holders of Registrable Shares the benefits of Rule 144 and other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder of Registrable Shares to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it will (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder and (ii) make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule 144 (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Shares) or (y) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission.
 
2.7          Holdback Agreements . In connection with any underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company (a " Company Underwritten Offering "), if requested by the managing underwriter for such offering, each Holder owning more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at such time agrees to enter into a lock-up agreement containing customary restrictions on transfers of equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, without prior written consent from the Company, during the seven day period prior to and the 90 day period after (or such shorter period as requested) the date of pricing of such underwritten offering (subject to extension in connection with any earnings release or other release of material information pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711(f) to the extent applicable) (the " Lock-Up Period "); provided, that nothing herein will prevent (i)(a) any Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation from making a distribution of Registrable Shares to the partners, members or stockholders thereof, (b) the transfer by a Holder that is an investment advisor managing a separately managed account to the owner of the separately managed account, or (c) a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with the applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees or transferees agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.7 , or (ii) the exercise, exchange or conversion of any security exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, Common Stock, provided the Common Stock issued upon such exercise or conversion shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.7 . The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 shall not apply to any resale of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement, and shall be applicable to any Holder only if all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions. If requested by the managing underwriter, each Holder agrees to execute a lock-up agreement in favor of the Company's underwriters to such effect and, in any event, that the Company's underwriters in any relevant underwritten offering shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 2.7 .

Exhibit A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 
The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
 
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
 
·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·  
short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission;
 
·  
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
·  
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
·  
any other method permitted by applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
 
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
 
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
 
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
 
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect.
