Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”), and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to the prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the issuance of the Shares and the plan of distribution thereof. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; and the supplement to the Base Prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act and will, to the Company’s knowledge, be effective for the issuance of the Common Stock and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. (b) The Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any 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 not misleading. The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and none of such Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or will not be filed within the requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which have not been described or filed as required.

Except where the failure to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”). (e) The Shares are original issue shares (and not treasury shares), duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all liens, charges, taxes, security interests and any other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and will not have been issued (i) in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in effect as of the time the Shares are issued or under Delaware General Corporation Law, or (ii) in violation of applicable law.

(g) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, including the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares hereunder, are within the corporate powers of the Company, and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the Company’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as may be applicable; or (iii) result in a breach or default under or violation of any applicable statute, or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties (or that of any of its subsidiaries); except in the case each of (i) and (iii), for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (h) As of their respective filing dates, all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Commission for the two years preceding the date hereof (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act included, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by the Company (or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission with respect to any of the SEC Reports. (i) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization in connection with the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, other than (i) filings with the Commission, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws and (iii) those required by The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company (or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) by Nasdaq or the Commission, including with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister such shares of Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of such shares of Common Stock on Nasdaq, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary periodic review of certain periodic reports filed by the Company with the Commission. The Company has taken no action that would be reasonably expected to terminate, or lead to the termination of, the registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act prior to the Closing. (m) Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is no suit, action, proceeding or arbitration (“Actions”) before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending to which the Company is a party that, individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and to the knowledge of the Company, no such Actions are threatened or contemplated by any governmental authority or threatened by others. (n) The Company is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s or finder’s fee or commission (or similar fee) in connection with the sale of the Shares. None of the Company nor its affiliates or subsidiaries have taken any action which could result in Investor being required to pay any such fee or commission.
