Except as set forth in the Company Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after July 2, 2016 and prior to entering into this Agreement (excluding, in each case, any disclosures set forth in any risk factor section or in any other section to the extent they are forward looking statements or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature) or in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Purchaser by the Company prior to the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof, as of the Closing Date, and, with respect to the representations contained in Section 2.4, as of the date of any Subsequent Purchase, as follows:

-3-

(i) changes in the economy or financial, credit or security markets generally in the United States or other countries in which the Company conducts material operations (including changes in interest or exchange rates);

(ii) changes in operating, business or other conditions affecting the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate;

(vi) any failure by the Company to meet any projections or forecasts or estimates of revenues or earnings for any period, provided that the exception in this clause shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect;

(vii) a decline in the price of the Common Stock on the OTCQB Market operated by the OTC Markets Group (“OTCQB”), provided that the exception in this clause shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect;

(viii) the existence, occurrence or continuation of any force majeure events, including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tropical storms, fires or other natural disasters;

provided, further, that, the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) and (ix) shall not apply to the extent such change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts disproportionately adversely affects the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, compared to other companies of similar size operating in the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate (but only to the extent of such disproportionality).

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company

-5-

and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(b) At a meeting duly called and held prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company has unanimously (A) determined that the Issuance and the Conversion and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and (B) approved this Agreement, the Issuance, the Conversion and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the requirements of the California General Corporation Law.

2.4 Issuance; Private Placement.

(b) Assuming the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.5, the issuance of the Shares to Purchaser in the Issuance and the Conversion is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on is or their behalf, has taken any action (including, any offering of any securities of the Company under circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the Issuance and the Conversion pursuant to the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) which might subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Shares to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(c) Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or issuance of the Shares in the Purchase, the Issuance, the Conversion or any Subsequent Purchase.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the consummation of the Issuance, the Conversion and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the comparable governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any written or oral agreement, lease, license (including Intellectual Property Contracts), contract, note, mortgage, indenture, arrangement or other obligation (each, a “Contract”) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and consummation of the Issuance, the Conversion and the other transactions contemplated hereby) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 2.5(a)(i) under any Laws to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject, or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.6 Company Reports; Financial Statements.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, The Company has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis, all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since July 4, 2015 (the “Applicable Date”) (the forms, statements, reports and documents filed or furnished since the Applicable Date and those filed or furnished subsequent to the date of this Agreement, including any amendments thereto, the “Company Reports”). Each of the Company Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished complied or, if not yet filed or furnished, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”), and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company Reports. As of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment), the Company Reports did not, and any Company Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC subsequent to the date of this Agreement 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 made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

-7-

(b) The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the OTCQB. Except as permitted by the Exchange Act, including Sections 13(k)(2) and (3) or rules of the SEC, since the Applicable Date, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has made, arranged or modified (in any material way) any extensions of credit in the form of a personal loan to any executive officer or director of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” when used with respect to any party shall mean any Person who is an “affiliate” of that party within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(c) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents. The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act). Such internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the asset of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements. The Company has disclosed, based on the most recent evaluation of its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and has identified for the Company’s auditors and audit committee of the Company’s board of directors any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has provided to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement (i) a summary of any such disclosure made by management to the Company’s auditors and audit committee since the Applicable Date and (ii) any material communication since the Applicable Date made by management or the Company’s auditors to the audit committee required or contemplated by listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Select Market (prior to the de-listing from the NASDAQ Global Select Market) or the OTCQB (following the de-listing from the NASDAQ Global Select Market), the audit committee’s charter or professional standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Since the Applicable Date, no material complaints from any source regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and no concerns from Company employees regarding

-8-

questionable accounting or auditing matters, have been received by the Company. The Company has provided to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement a summary of all material complaints or concerns relating to other matters made since the Applicable Date through the Company’s whistleblower hot line or equivalent system for receipt of employee concerns regarding possible violations of Laws. To the Knowledge of the Company, there have been no reports of evidence of a violation of securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Company’s chief legal officer, audit committee (or other committee designated for the purpose) of the board of directors or the board of directors pursuant to the rules adopted pursuant to Section 307 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act or any Company policy contemplating such reporting, including in instances not required by those rules.

(d) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects the results of operations, retained earnings (deficit) and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of such companies for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect) in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein.

2.7 Absence of Certain Changes. Since July 1, 2017, the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses only in, and have not engaged in any material transaction other than in accordance with, the ordinary course of such businesses consistent with past practices and there has not been:

(a) Any change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence, development or state of facts which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Section 2.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter;

(b) any material abandonment, forfeiture, invalidation, cancellation, damage, destruction or other casualty loss with respect to any material asset, right, or property owned, leased, licensed or otherwise used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not covered by insurance; or

2.8 Litigation and Liabilities.

(a) There are no civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, claims, complaints, litigation, hearings, arbitrations, investigations, audit or other proceedings (each, an “Action”) pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

-9-

(b) The Company is not subject to any material outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree, except as set forth in Section 2.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) Except for obligations and liabilities (i) reflected or reserved against in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (and the notes thereto) included in the Company Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business since July 1, 2017 or (iii) incurred in connection with the transactions expressly contemplated by this Agreement or as expressly permitted by this Agreement, to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no obligations or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, or any other facts or circumstances of which the Company has Knowledge that would reasonably be expected to result in any obligations or liabilities of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including under any applicable Licenses or Laws, except for those that, individually or in the aggregate, are not and would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Knowledge” means, with respect to the Company, the actual knowledge of the individuals set forth in Section 2.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and with respect to Purchaser, the actual knowledge of its officers, in each case, after reasonable inquiry.

2.9 Compliance with Laws; Licenses. The businesses of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries have not been, and are not being, conducted in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, statute or ordinance, common law, or any rule, regulation, standard, judgment, legally imposed duty (such as tort duties), order, writ, injunction, decree, arbitration award, agency requirement, license or permit of any Governmental Entity (collectively, “Laws”), except for those violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. No investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their employees or independent contractors is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity delivered notice of an intention in writing to conduct the same. The Company has not received any written notice or communication of any material noncompliance with any such Laws (including with respect to its employees or independent contractors) that has not been cured as of the date of this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the Knowledge of the Company, each of their employees or independent contractors have obtained and are in compliance with all material Licenses necessary to conduct its business as presently conducted except for non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

Any reference in this Agreement to gender shall include all genders, and words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.

The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a Company Disclosure Letter to this Agreement is not intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, and disclosure of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be construed to mean that such information is material or required to be disclosed by this Agreement.
