Ladies and Gentlemen:

▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell up to an aggregate of 6,200,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) to certain investors (each an “Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”). The Company desires to engage ThinkEquity Partners LLC (the “Placement Agent”) as its exclusive placement agent as set forth herein in connection with such issuance and sale. The Shares are more fully described in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined).

1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent; Delivery and Payment. On the basis of the representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement:

(a) The Company hereby engages the Placement Agent to act as its exclusive placement agent in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of Shares to the Investors, and the Placement Agent hereby agrees, as agent of the Company, to use its best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Shares from the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined). Upon the occurrence of the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Placement Agent, to an account designated by the Placement Agent, an aggregate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares. Prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which this Agreement is terminated, or (ii) the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, solicit or accept offers to purchase Shares (other than pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at the date hereof) otherwise than through the Placement Agent in accordance herewith.

(b) The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent’s obligations hereunder are on a best efforts basis and this Agreement shall not give rise to a commitment by the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares or otherwise provide any financing, and the Placement Agent shall have no authority to (and agrees not to purport to) bind the Company in respect of the sale of any Shares. The sale of the Shares shall be made pursuant to the subscription terms in the form included as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Terms”). The

Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Shares and may, at the Company’s sole discretion, reject any such offer in whole or in part, and, except as set forth in Section 4 hereof, in no event shall fees be payable by the Company on any proposed purchase which is rejected for any reason or which otherwise does not close for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates may, solely at their discretion and without any obligation to do so, purchase Shares as principals; provided, however, that any such purchase by the Placement Agent (or its affiliates) shall be fully disclosed to the Company and shall be subject to the prior approval of the Company, at the Company’s sole discretion, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, the Placement Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) will be established for the benefit of the Company and the Investors who settle their purchases through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system. Prior to the Closing Date, each such Investor shall deposit into the Escrow Account an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares such Investor has agreed to purchase, and (y) the purchase price per share as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (the “Purchase Amount”). The aggregate of the Purchase Amounts deposited by all of the Investors is herein referred to as the “Escrow Funds.” On the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent will disburse the Escrow Funds from the Escrow Account to the Company, the Placement Agent and the Escrow Agent as provided in the Escrow Agreement, and the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver the Shares purchased by such Investors, which delivery shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system.

(d) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Shares shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) at the offices of Dow ▇▇▇▇▇▇ PLLC, counsel for the Company, located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇., ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the third or fourth business day (as permitted under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) after the determination of the public offering price of the Shares (such date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Date”). All such actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously. No Shares which the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement and the Subscription Terms shall be deemed to have been purchased and paid for by an Investor, or sold by the Company, until such Shares shall have been delivered to such Investor against payment therefor by such Investor. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Shares to an Investor whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless against any loss, claim, or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company.

(e) The Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Placement Agent shall request by written notice delivered to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date and as shall have been agreed to by the Company pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Placement Agent as follows:

(a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-126131) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), and such amendments to such registration statement as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. Such registration statement has been

declared effective by the Commission. Such registration statement, at any given time, including amendments thereto at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents and information otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by Rule 430A, 430B, or 430C under the Securities Act or otherwise pursuant to the Securities Act at such time, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act is called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement” and, from and after the date and time of filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.

The Company proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a final prospectus supplement to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement in the form heretofore delivered to the Placement Agent. Such prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it was declared effective by the Commission or in the form in which it has been most recently filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus.” Such prospectus supplement, in the form in which it shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus.” Any preliminary form of Prospectus which is filed or used prior to filing of the Prospectus is hereinafter called a “Preliminary Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the date of such prospectus, and, in the case of any reference herein to the Prospectus, also shall be deemed to include any documents incorporated by reference therein, and any supplements or amendments thereto, filed with the Commission after the date of filing of the Prospectus under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares by the Placement Agent.

For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“▇▇▇▇▇”). Any reference to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable. Any reference to any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Exchange Act, after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable, and before the date of such amendment or supplement and incorporated by reference in such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable; and any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to include any annual report of the Company on Form 10-K filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement.

The Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements and comply with the conditions for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The offering of the Shares by the Company complies with the applicable requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company has complied to the Commission’s satisfaction with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act. No stop order preventing or suspending use of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, has been issued by the Commission, and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted, are pending or are contemplated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission.

(b) Compliance with Registration Requirements. Each part of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time such part became effective (including each deemed effective date with respect to the Placement Agent pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act) and as of the Closing Date, complied and will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and 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.

(d) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company will (i) not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission under Rule 433 under the Securities Act unless the Placement Agent approves its use in writing prior to first use (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Placement Agent shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule II hereto, (ii) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping, and (iv) not take any action that would result in the Placement Agent or the Company being required to file with the Commission, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Placement Agent that the Placement Agent otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(g) Conflicting Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Shares or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company promptly will notify the Placement Agent and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement, or omission.

of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, claim, or liability, to which, jointly or severally, the Placement Agent or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, the common law or otherwise, (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such loss, damage, claim, or liability (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto including any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any materials or information provided to Investors by, or with the written approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Common Stock (“Marketing Materials”), including any roadshow or investor presentations made to Investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, to reimburse the Placement Agent and each such controlling person for any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are incurred by the Placement Agent or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising, or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense, or action, (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Company in Section 3 hereof or the failure by the Company to perform when and as required any agreement or covenant contained herein, or (iv) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any audio or visual materials provided to Investors by or with the written approval of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company in conformity with the form and substance of such information as furnished including, without limitation, slides, videos, films, or tape recordings used in any road show or investor presentations made to Investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) or in connection with the marketing of the Shares; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, it arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, or any such amendment or supplement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning the Placement Agent furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Placement Agent to the Company expressly for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agent Information.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and any person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as incurred to which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, the common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Placement Agent), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be

stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, to the extent but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning the Placement Agent furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Placement Agent to the Company expressly for use therein, and to reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer, or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising, or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, that the parties hereto hereby agree that such written information provided by the Placement Agent consists solely of the Placement Agent Information. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(b), in no event shall any indemnity by the Placement Agent under this Section 6(b) exceed the total compensation received by Placement Agent in accordance with Section 1(b).

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Placement Agent (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 6, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise, except to the extent the indemnifying party does not otherwise learn of the Proceeding and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights or defenses. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to, or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties with respect to such defenses), in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses with respect to such defenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 6(c), then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement all amounts with respect to which the indemnifying party does not dispute in good faith, and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its

intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 6 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other from the offering of the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total placement agent commissions received by the Placement Agent, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by the Placement Agent, on the other hand, and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (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 first sentence of this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 6(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commissions received by the Placement Agent in accordance with Section 1(b). 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.

(e) Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 and the covenants, warranties, and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, any person who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or any affiliate of the Placement Agent, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange

Act, and (iii) the issuance and delivery of the Shares. The Company and the Placement Agent agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the Company’s officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares, or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Disclosure Package.

7. Information Furnished by Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the sixth paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Statutory Prospectus (the “Placement Agent Information”) constitute the only information relating to the Placement Agent furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent as such information is referred to in Sections 2 and 6.

8. Termination. (a) The Placement Agent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, without liability on the part of the Placement Agent to the Company, if (i) prior to delivery and payment for the Shares (A) trading in securities generally shall have been suspended on or by the New York Stock Exchange, the AMEX, or the NASDAQ Global or Capital Market, (each, a “Trading Market”), (B) trading in the Common Stock of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange, in the over-the-counter market or by the Commission, (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York state authorities, (D) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, (E) there shall have occurred any other calamity or crisis or any material change in general economic, political, or financial conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E), in the judgment of the Placement Agent, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the sale of and payment for the Shares on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Disclosure Package, (ii) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package, there has been any Material Adverse Effect or the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident, or other calamity of such character that in the reasonable judgment of the Placement Agent would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect and which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Placement Agent, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package, (iii) the Company shall have failed, refused, or been unable to comply with the terms or perform any agreement or obligation of this Agreement or any of the Subscription Terms, other than by reason of a default by the Placement Agent, or (iv) any condition precedent to the Placement Agent’s obligations to perform hereunder is not fulfilled or waived. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, and Section 11 hereof shall at all times be effective notwithstanding such termination.

The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Placement Agent with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research department may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Placement Agent’s investment banking division. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 17 shall relieve the Placement Agent of any responsibility or liability it may otherwise bear in connection with activities in violation of applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as Placement Agent, propose to enter into the Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the offering (the “Offering”) of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Placement Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, and in order to induce you to participate in the Offering, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the Placement Agent’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in the Placement Agent’s sole discretion), the undersigned will not, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of 150 days from the date above or on the date 90 days after the date of the final prospectus (including any final prospectus supplement) to be used in confirming the sale of the Shares, (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant), (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (4) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction described in clause (1), (2), or (3) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above shall not apply to (a) transfers (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (iii) with the Placement Agent’s prior written consent; (b) the acquisition or exercise of any stock option issued pursuant to the Company’s existing stock option plan or employee stock purchase plan, including any exercise effected by the delivery of Common Stock held by the undersigned; or (c) the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities pursuant to a plan, contract, or instruction that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) that was in effect prior to the date hereof. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. None of the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement shall apply to Common Stock acquired in open market transactions.

For the purpose of allowing you to comply with NASD Rule 2711(f)(4), if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or publicly announces other material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the public announcement regarding the material news or the occurrence of the material event, as applicable, unless the Placement Agent waives, in writing, such extension. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the Company has agreed not to accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.

The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Common Stock even if such Common Stock would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale, or grant of any right (including without limitation any put option or put equivalent position or call option or call equivalent position) with respect to any of the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Common Stock.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, or personal representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that, if the Placement Agreement does not become effective, or if the Placement Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

		Very truly yours,
