Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The
disclosures below under Items 2.01 and 3.02 are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On
October 28, 2015, the Company entered into and consummated a Purchase and Sale Agreement with HPH Kansas LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“HPH”). HPH is a subsidiary of Hillair Petroleum Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and an affiliate of Hillair Investments Capital, L.P., which owns approximately 69% of the outstanding common stock and 100% of
the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. Northpoint Energy Partners, LLC, of which Andrew Reckles
is a managing partner and also the Chairman and CEO of the Company, will manage the oil and gas properties of HPH.
Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Company sold its oil and gas leases in the State of Kansas and accompanying personal property to HPH in
consideration of the cancellation of the Note described in Item 3.02 in the original principal amount of $1,928,740.
In
connection with such sale, the Company sought third party written bids for the assets as well as a fundamental analysis of the
fair value of the oil and gas leases based on comparable asset sales in the region. Additionally valuations were determined using
a variety of traditional oil and gas metrics, including but not limited to, discounted cash flows, reserve base valuation and
multiple of flowing barrels at current daily production rates and current WTI prices. The Company saw a range of values between
$850,000 (formal written offer from a bona fide purchaser) and $1.4 million. The Company believes the cancellation of $1,928,740
in debt represents a fair value for the sale of the assets based upon the analyses done.
Item 2.03 Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant
The
information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the issuance and the terms of the Debenture
and Note is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
Securities
Purchase Agreement
On
October 22, 2015, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase
Agreement with Hillair Capital Investments, L.P. (“Purchaser”) pursuant to which it issued an Original Issue
Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) to the Purchaser in the aggregate amount of
$654,000, payable in full on March 1, 2017. The Debenture is convertible into up to 21,800,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion
price of $.03 per share. After taking into account the original issue discount and legal and diligence fees of $44,000 reimbursed
to the Purchaser, the net proceeds received by the Company was $550,000.
These
transactions are exempt from registration subject to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
Exchange
Agreement
On
October 22 2015, the Company consummated a Securities Exchange Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which it issued 9,643
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) in exchange for the cancellation
of debentures held by the Purchaser with a total face value of $9,643,700 (the “Exchanged Debentures”).
On
the same date, the Company issued a promissory note to the Purchaser in the principal amount of $1,928,740 with respect to prepayment
penalties due to the Purchaser under the terms of the Exchanged Debentures (the “Note”). The principal amount
of the Note, together with interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, was due on November 30, 2015. This Note was discharged on
October 28, 2015, in connection with the sale of the Company's Kansas oil drilling leases and accompanying personal property described
in Item 2.01.
The
issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares is exempt from registration subject to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Item
5.03 Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On
October 22, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado. The Series B Preferred Shares:
·
are convertible into shares of Common Stock at $.03 per share;
·
have a stated value of $1,000 per Preferred Share;
·
accrue dividends at eight percent (8%) per annum on the total stated value of the Preferred Shares;

have class voting rights on an as converted basis; and

under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the
holders of the Common Stock, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire
assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the Holders in accordance with the respective amounts
that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control
Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than
45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.
Section 6. Conversion.
a)
Conversions
at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after
the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 6(d)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders
shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a
“Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to
be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred
Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not
be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the
“Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall
be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion
form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest
or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s)
representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby
are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly
following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the
terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.
b)
Conversion
Price. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal $0.03, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion
Price”).
c)
Mechanics
of Conversion
i.
Delivery of
Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares
being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock which, on or after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date,
shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Exchange Agreement).
On or after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver the Conversion
Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
ii.
Failure to
Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed
by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation
at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall
promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly
return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
iii.
Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion
of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction
by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against
any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach
or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation
of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation
of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however,
that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such
Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may
not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged
in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining
and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the
Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock which
is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying
dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction,
the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation
fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) on the second Trading Day after the Share Delivery
Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
for each $5,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day on
the third Trading Day and increasing to $200 per Trading Day on the sixth Trading Day after such damages begin to accrue) for
each Trading Day after such second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder
rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s
failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section
hereof or under applicable law.
iv.
Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery
Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the
conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to
such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s
total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by
(2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage
commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Preferred Stock equal to the
number of shares of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its
delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which
the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was
a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares upon
conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v.
Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times beginning on April __, 2016, reserve
and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any
other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less
than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange
Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall
be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
vi.
Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.
As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
vii.
Transfer Taxes
and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder
for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided
that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred
Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing
of any Notice of Conversion.
Section 7. Certain
Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends
and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common
Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon
conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock
of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
b)
Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues
or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record
holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder of will be entitled
to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired
if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred
Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or
sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase
Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right
to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c)
Pro Rata
Distributions. During such time as this Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in
such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares
of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on Conversion hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such
Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined
for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate
in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a
result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d)
Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the
Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase
offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders
of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been
accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one
or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property, or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or
share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party
to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this
Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon
such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 6(d) on the conversion of this Preferred Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the
“Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of this Preferred Stock). For purposes of any
such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of
Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Preferred
Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor
to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the
same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall
cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and
the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(e)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder
(without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Preferred
Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding
number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock
acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of
this Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price
hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and
such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Preferred Stock immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other
Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may
exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this
Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been
named as the Corporation herein.
e)
Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.
f)
Notice to
the Holders.
i.
Adjustment
to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation
shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii.
Notice to
Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be
filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered
to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least twenty (20) calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date
as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants
are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein
or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the
extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation
or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report
on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during
the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as
may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 8.
Redemption Upon
Triggering Events.
a)
“Triggering
Event” means, wherever used herein any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event
shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
i.
the Corporation
shall be party to a Change of Control Transaction; and
ii.
the Corporation
shall be party to a Fundamental Transaction.
b)
Upon the occurrence
of a Triggering Event, each Holder shall (in addition to all other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable law) have
the right, exercisable at the sole option of such Holder, to require the Corporation to, (A) with respect to the Triggering Events
set forth in Sections 8(a)(i) (as to a Change of Control Transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) and
8(a)(ii) (as to a Fundamental Transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), redeem all of the Preferred
Stock then held by such Holder for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount or (B) at the option
of each Holder and with respect to the Triggering Events set forth in Sections 8(a)(i) (as to a Change of Control Transaction
not approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) and 8(a)(ii) (as to a Fundamental Transaction not approved by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation), either (a) redeem all of the Preferred Stock then held by such Holder for a redemption price,
in shares of Common Stock, equal to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount divided by 75%
of the average of the 10 VWAPs immediately prior to the date of election hereunder or (b) increase the dividend rate on all of
the outstanding Preferred Stock held by such Holder to 18% per annum thereafter. The Triggering Redemption Amount, in cash or
in shares, shall be due and payable or issuable, as the case may be, within five Trading Days of the date on which the notice
for the payment therefor is provided by a Holder (the “Triggering Redemption Payment Date”). If the Corporation
fails to pay in full the Triggering Redemption Amount hereunder on the date such amount is due in accordance with this Section
(whether in cash or shares of Common Stock), the Corporation will pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per
annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, accruing daily from such date until the Triggering Redemption Amount, plus
all such interest thereon, is paid in full. For purposes of this Section, a share of Preferred Stock is outstanding until such
date as the applicable Holder shall have received Conversion Shares upon a conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof that meets
the requirements hereof or has been paid the Triggering Redemption Amount in cash.
Section 9.
Negative Covenants. As long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, [unless the holders of at least 100% in Stated Value

Conversion.
a)
Voluntary
Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture shall
be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time
(subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering
to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”),
specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected
(such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion
Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall
be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be
required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the
Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted.
Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal
to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and
the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of
delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling
and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid
and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b)
Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.03, subject to adjustment herein
(the “Conversion Price”).
c)
Mechanics
of Conversion.
i.
Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder
shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted
by (y) the Conversion Price.
ii.
Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing
the Conversion Shares which, on or after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion
Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture and (B) a legal opinion of Company counsel as may be requested by
the Holder to enable Holder to deposit the Conversion Share certificates in accounts with its prime broker (or other brokerage
account), together with the instruction letter to the Transfer Agent and the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing
the Transaction Documents and any additional supporting documentation requested by the Holder (including, without limitation,
any instruction letter to the Company’s transfer agent). On or after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date,
if the Company is a participant in the Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (DWAC) of the Depository Trust Company, the Company
shall deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through
the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
iii.
Failure
to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates and the related legal
opinion of Company counsel, the instruction letter to the Transfer Agent and the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing
the Transaction Documents are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder
shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates,
to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to
the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to
the rescinded Conversion Notice.
iv.
Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion
of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by
the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against
any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach
or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of
law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation
of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that
such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the
event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may
not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in
any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and
or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond
for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to
the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and
the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the
Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any
reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates and the related legal opinion of Company counsel, the instruction
letter to the Transfer Agent and the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the Transaction Documents and other supporting
documentation pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per
Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after
the second Trading Day following such Share Delivery Date until such certificates and the related legal opinion of Company counsel,
the instruction letter to the Transfer Agent and the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the Transaction Documents
and other supporting documentation are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to
deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof
or under applicable law.
v.
Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant
to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion
relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in
addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total
purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual
sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions)
and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under
Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares
(including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount
of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant
to the terms hereof.
vi.
Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times after the Share Reservation Date reserve
and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion
of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such
aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement)
be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
vii.
Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture.
As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
viii.
Transfer
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made
without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the
Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until
the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day
processing of any Notice of Conversion.
Section
5.
Certain
Adjustments.
a)
Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion
of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company,
then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Debenture, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including
without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the
participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a
result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of
the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c)
Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
d)
Notice
to the Holder.
i.
Adjustment
to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall
promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii.
Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C)
the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered
to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to
the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants
are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein
or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the
extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on
Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice
through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section
6.
Optional
Redemption at Election of Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder
(an “Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional
Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount
of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 10th Business Day following
the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Optional
Redemption”). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may not
deliver an Optional Redemption Notice if there is an existing Event of Default or an existing event which, with the passage of
time or giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption
shall not be paid by the Company on the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser
of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein
contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect,
by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio,
and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to
exercise such Optional Redemption. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from
the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.

b)
Remedies
Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus accrued but
unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become,
at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Commencing 5 days after the
occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Debenture, the interest rate on this Debenture
shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon
the payment in full of the Mandatory Default Amount, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Debenture to or as directed by the
Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period
enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration
may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder
of the Debenture until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission
or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

satisfactory to the Company.
d)
Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles
of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense
of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Debenture, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York
Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered
or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under
this Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing

preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
e)
Waiver.
Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to
be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the
Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered
a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
Debenture on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.
f)
Severability.
If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect,
and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons
and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable
law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of
interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at
any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury
law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on
this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits
or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been
enacted.
g)
Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Debenture shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit
the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Debenture. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other
than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments and the like (and the computation
thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any
other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company
therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation
to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Debenture.
h)
Due
Authorization. This Debenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is the legal obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. No consent of any other party and no consent, license,
approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company, or the validity or enforceability of this Debenture other
than such as have been met or obtained. The execution, delivery and performance of this Debenture and all other agreements and
instruments executed and delivered or to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto or thereto will not violate any provision of
any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court, regulatory body or administrative agency or the certificate
of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Company is a party
or by which the Company or any property or assets of the Company may be bound.
i)
Next
Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
j)

limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Secured
Obligation. The obligations of the Company under this Debenture are secured by all assets of the Company and certain real
property, fixtures and other property of the Company pursuant to the Security Documents.

shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed in this Note and such
failure shall continue unremedied or shall not be waived for a period of ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof from
Payee to Maker; or
iii.
If
Maker shall admit in writing its inability to pay such debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors or Maker becomes insolvent (however defined or evidenced) or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

provided that in the case of any involuntary filing or the commencement of any involuntary proceeding against Maker and such proceeding
or petition shall have continued undismissed and unvacated for at least 30 days; or

If
any petition or application to any court or tribunal, at law or in equity, shall be filed by or against Maker for the appointment

Maker

and severally waive: presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, and non-payment, or other notice of default, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted
by Payee in reliance hereon, notice of any release, sale or other disposition of collateral, any requirement that Payee first

regardless of the number of such renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases, or changes.
b.
No
waiver by Payee of any of its rights or remedies hereunder or under any other document evidencing or securing this Note or otherwise
shall be considered a waiver of any other subsequent right or remedy of Payee; no delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement
by Payee of any rights or remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Payee; and no exercise or enforcement
of any such rights or remedies shall ever be held to exhaust any right or remedy of Payee.
9.
Interest
Laws. Any provision in this Note, the Security Agreement or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith,
or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, neither
Payee nor any holder hereof shall in any event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received hereunder
be credited, so that Payee or any holder hereof shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law to be charged to the person, partnership, firm, or corporation primarily obligated to pay this Note at the time
in question. If any construction of this Note or any document securing this Note, or any and all other papers, agreements, or
commitments, indicate a different right given to Payee or any holder hereof to ask for, demand, or receive any larger sum as interest,
such is a mistake in calculation or wording which this clause shall override and control, it being the intention of the parties
that this Note and any other instruments securing the payment of this Note or executed or delivered in connection herewith shall
in all things comply with applicable law and proper adjustments shall automatically be made accordingly.
10.

State of New York shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Note, without reference to
its conflict of laws rules and principles. Maker, and any endorsers, sureties, guarantors and all others who are, or who may become,
liable for the payment of the sums due hereunder severally, irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agree that any suit, action, or
other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note may be brought, at the option of the Payee, in any court of competent
jurisdiction located in New York, New York.
11.

inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Payee and its successors and assigns.
12.
Amendments.
This Note may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Payee and Maker.
13.
Severability.

Note have been fully and finally paid and performed.

Authority.
Maker hereby represents and warrants to Payee that, by its execution below, Maker has the full power, authority, and legal right
to execute and deliver this Note and that the indebtedness evidenced hereby constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Maker
without exception or limitation.
16.
Multiple
Counterparts. This Note may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile and electronic signatures shall be treated as original signatures for

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
3.1
Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to each Purchaser:
(a)
Subsidiaries.
All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are set forth in the SEC Reports. The Company owns, directly or indirectly,
all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar

Organization

existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power
and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity
or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect
on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document
(any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(c)
Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated

it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith
or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which
it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(d)
No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or
an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any
of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing
a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which
any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict
with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court
or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations),
or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii)
and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)
Filings, Consents
and Approvals. 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 or other Person
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than: (i) the filings

to be made under applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).

Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company other

the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed

The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most

stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of
the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right
of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as
a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to,

or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common
Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all
federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar
rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors
or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or
other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge
of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company

any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure
or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant
in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance
with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l)
Compliance.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been
waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the
Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any
court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation

(m)
Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.
(n)
Title to
Assets. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or any widely disseminated press release of the Company or as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(n) attached hereto, the Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real
property owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the
value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company
and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been
made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property

with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights
and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses
and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual
Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2)
years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual
Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have
a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is
no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except
where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without
a significant increase in cost.

in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses

of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets

The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers
have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of
the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).
The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers
about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since

by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Listing and
Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company
has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the

for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current
in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer.
(x)
Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(y)
Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel
with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands
and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their
respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the
date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(z)
No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the
Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration
of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa)
Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the
Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to
carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth
as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company
or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities
for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of
business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or
not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb)
Tax Status.
Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and
all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii)
has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on
such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all
material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or
of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.
(cc)
No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers
and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(dd)
Foreign Corrupt
Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has: (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions,
gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment
to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate
funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its
behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.
(ee)
Accountants.
The Company’s accounting firm is set forth in the SEC Reports. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting
firm: (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect
to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
(ff)
Seniority.
As of the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior to the Debentures in right of payment, whether
with respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by purchase money security
interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as
to the property covered thereby).
(gg)
No Disagreements
with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company
to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company is
current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect the Company’s ability to perform
any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting
solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given

for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without
limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement
transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and
counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently
have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with
or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands
and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities
are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests
in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such
aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
(jj)
Regulation
M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly,

Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options
with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial

of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company shall so certify upon Purchaser’s request.

3.2
Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):
(a)
Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b)
Own Account.
Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons
to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c)
Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.
(d)
Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)
General Solicitation.
Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding
the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(f)
Certain Transactions
and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly,
nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received
a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of
the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions
of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect
to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered
by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all
disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any
actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect
Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that
the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction
Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of
the transaction contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Transfer Restrictions.
(a)
The Securities
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other
than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion
of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities
under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b)
The Purchasers
agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION
NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS
EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE
TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER
LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company
acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees
or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel
of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such
pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if
the Securities are subject to registration, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3)
under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholder
table thereunder.
(c)
Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while
a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of
such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 or (iv) if such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements
issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly
if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Debenture is converted
at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying
Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities
Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares
shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer
Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend
Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free
from all restrictive and other legends. In addition, the Company shall deliver such Purchaser a copy of such legal opinion, the
instruction letter to the Transfer Agent, the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the Transaction Documents and any
additional supporting documentation requested by the Purchaser as may be requested by the Purchaser in order to deposit Underlying
Shares in accounts with its prime broker (or other brokerage account). The Company may not make any notation on its records or
give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for
Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting
the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
(d)
In addition to
such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted
to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading
Day following the Legend Removal Date until the later of (i) such Trading Day that such certificate is delivered without a legend
and (ii) the Trading Day on which the Company shall have delivered a copy of the opinion of its counsel and other supporting documentation
requested by the Purchaser (including, without limitation, any instruction letter to the Company’s transfer agent) as may
be requested by the Purchaser in order to deposit Underlying Shares in accounts with its prime broker (or other brokerage account).
Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates
representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
(e)
Each Purchaser,
severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant
to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an
exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with
the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
4.2
Acknowledgment of
Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations
under the Transaction Documents are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or
reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless
of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.3
Furnishing of Information.
If the Common Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof, the Company agrees to
cause the Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the 60th calendar day following
the date hereof. Until the earliest of the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to maintain the registration
of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
4.4
Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined
in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior
to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.5
Conversion Procedures.
The form of Notice of Conversion included in the Debentures set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers
in order to convert the Debentures. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form
be required in order to convert the Debenture. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to convert their Debentures. The Company shall honor conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.6

case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing
with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to
the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers
with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause.
4.7

is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution

Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the
Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.8
Non-Public Information.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel
with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser
shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.

amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the
Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not
an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless
such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such
Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence,
willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time
to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not
be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a
loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification
required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any
cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject
to pursuant to law.
4.11
Reservation and
Listing of Securities.
(a)
Within six (6)
months from the date hereof, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to establish (and once the Company has available
authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock available, to thereafter maintain) a reserve of shares of Common
Stock from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock that is equal to the Required Minimum for the issuance of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to (i) the Transaction Documents and (ii) the exercise or conversion of any other securities of the Company exercisable
or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock that are outstanding and held by the Purchasers (such reservation,
the “Share Reservation” and the date of the Share Reservation, the “Share Reservation Date”).
(b)
If, on any date
after the Share Reservation Date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less
than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s
certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the
Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.
(c)
The Company shall,
if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an
additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the
date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation
on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and
(iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on
such Trading Market or another Trading Market.
4.12
Participation in
Future Financing.
(a)
Subject only to the
rights granted to the purchasers pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement dated January 21, 2015, April 2, 2015,
April 28, 2015, June 30, 2015 and July 2015 from the date hereof until the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the Closing
Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration,
Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right
to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation
Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
(b)
At least five (5)
Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of
its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if
it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).
Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall
promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The
Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of
proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed
to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.
(c)
Any Purchaser desiring
to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser is
willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting
that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing
Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall
be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.
(d)
If by 5:30 p.m.
(New York City time) on the fifth (5th ) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications
by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate)
is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Participation Maximum, then the Company may effect the remaining portion
of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e)
If by 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation
Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum.
“Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased
on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.
(f)
The Company must
provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation
set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated
for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the
initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(g)
The
Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents
related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to
any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination
of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
such Purchaser.
(h)
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm
in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly
disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser
will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent
Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent
Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such
transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material,
non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(i)
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
4.13
Variable Rate Transactions.
From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Debentures, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting
or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise
price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares
of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or
upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market
for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company
may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company
to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
4.14
Equal Treatment
of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered
to all of the parties to this Agreement. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Debentures
in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable time.
For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated
separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed
as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.15
Certain Transactions
and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any
Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales,
of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Current Report on Form 8-K as
described in Section 4.6. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such
time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Current Report on
Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction
and the information included in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation,
warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Current Report on Form 8-K as described
in Section 4.6, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company
in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced pursuant to the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have
any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described
in Section 4.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby
separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct
knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets,
the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made
the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.16
Form D; Blue Sky
Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide
a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine
is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions
promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
4.17
Capital Changes.
Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification
of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in principal amount outstanding of the
Debentures.
4.18
Company Acknowledgements.
The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the security interests granted to the Purchasers pursuant to the Existing
Security Agreements applies to and covers the obligations of the Company to the Purchasers evidenced by the Debentures and (b)
the liens granted to the Purchasers pursuant to the Existing Mortgages applies to and covers the obligations of the Company to
the Purchasers evidenced by the Debentures.
4.19
Oil Production Reports.
While the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser written copies of each gauge report
produced by the Company's independent field operator setting forth the production volumes of each Producing Lease, unless instructed
in writing by a Purchaser and the Company will no longer be required to deliver such reports to such Purchaser. These reports
will be provided to each Purchaser as soon as practicable but, in any event, within two Business Days of receipt by the Company.
While the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company will also deliver each Purchaser as soon as practicable but, in any event,
within two business days of receipt by the Company, each Monthly Operator’s Run Statements showing sales volumes of produced
oil on the Producing Leases, unless instructed in writing by a Purchaser and the Company will no longer be required to deliver
such reports to such Purchaser.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1
Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before October 26, 2015; provided, however, that such termination will not affect
the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2
Fees and Expenses.
Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers,
counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation,

any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company), stamp taxes and other taxes and
duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3
Entire Agreement.
The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with

Amendments; Waivers.
No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the
case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least 67% in interest of the Securities then outstanding or,
in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future
or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay
or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.6
Headings. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.
5.7
Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company
may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other

or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not
for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.10.
5.9
Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement
of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action,
suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company
under Section 4.10, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action
or proceeding.
5.10
Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11
Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood
that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or
by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.
5.12
Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other
Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or
withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14
Replacement of Securities.
If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any
reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15
Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16
Payment Set Aside.
To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or
are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the
extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17
Usury. To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will
resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce
any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction
Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments
in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”),
and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated
with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed
such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date
thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess
of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents,
such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the
Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
5.18
Independent Nature
of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or
non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each
Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the
Purchasers and only represents Hillair. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents
for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.
5.19
Liquidated Damages.
The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is
a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have
been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts
are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.20
Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
5.21
Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.
5.22
WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

stockholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and the Note
have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating

be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)
Filings,
Consents and Approvals. 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 or other
Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Note, other than: (i)

Capitalization.

stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the

giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Exchanging Holder) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all
federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar

Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules
and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been

of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(k)

the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries
believe that their relationships with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company
or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are
in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices,
terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l)
Compliance.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been
waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the
Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any
court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation
of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental
protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as
could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m)
Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.
(n)
Title to
Assets. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or any widely disseminated press release of the Company, the Company and the
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear
of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with
the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal,
state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which
is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries
are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.
(o)
Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights
and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses
and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual
Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2)
years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual
Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have
a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is
no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except
where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p)
Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the face value of the Debentures. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant
increase in cost.
(q)
Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company or
any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party

any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or
personal property to or from providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director,
or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case
in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan
of the Company.
(r)
Sarbanes-Oxley;
Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The
Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers
have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of
the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).
The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers
about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange
Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal
control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(s)
Certain
Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiaries to any broker,
financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Exchanging Holder shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any
claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(t)
Private
Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Exchanging Holder’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Exchanging Holder
as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
Trading Market.
(u)
Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will
not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(v)
Registration
Rights. No Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities
of the Company or any Subsidiaries.
(w)
Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the
Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible
for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current
in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer.
(x)
Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Exchanging Holder as a result of the Exchanging
Holder and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this agreement, including without limitation
as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Note and the Exchanging Holder’s ownership of the Securities
and the Note.
(y)
Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company confirms
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Exchanging Holder or its agents or counsel with any
information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms
that the Exchanging Holder will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All
of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Exchanging Holder regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries,
their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the
date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Exchanging Holder does not make or has made
any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth
in Section 3.2 hereof.
(z)
No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Exchanging Holder’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, neither
the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the
registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading
Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth
as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company
or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities
for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same
are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement
of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present
value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb)
Tax Status.
Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign
income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all
taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,
reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes
for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know
of no basis for any such claim.
(cc)
No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities only to the Exchanging Holder.

unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns

As of the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior to the Debentures in right of payment, whether
with respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by purchase money security
interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as
to the property covered thereby).

LEGEND OIL AND GAS, LTD. 8-K
Exhibit 99.1
Legend Oil and Gas, Ltd. Announces Conversion of Over $9
Million in Debt to Preferred Stock
ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA– October 27, 2015– Legend Oil and Gas, Ltd. (“Legend” or the “Company”)
(OTC: LOGL), an oil exploration and production, and midstream provider of crude oil transportation services in the Bakken region,
is pleased to announce a major debt to equity restructuring.
The Company has negotiated a conversion of approximately $9.6
million of short term debt to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.. The conversion of the short term debt resulted in a pre-payment
penalty of approximately $1.9 million (which accrues as an interest expense) which was resolved via the issuance of a Promissory
Note (“Note”) to Hillair due on or before November 30, 2015.
Further, on October 27, 2015, the Promissory Note of approximately
$1.9mm was assigned to an affiliate of Hillair, HPH Kansas, LLC, a subsidiary of Hillair Petroleum Holdings, Inc. (“HPH”).
The Note was subsequently tendered in exchange for the purchase of Legend’s Landers-Volunteer oil and gas leases, and the
Note was deemed fully satisfied by LOGL on the same date. The full details of the transaction are described in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, together with the Exhibits included with the filing.
Warren Binderman, Legend’s President and Chief Financial
Officer states that “this transaction is a major transformation for the Company! Our debt structure has been reduced by $11.5
million, including the Note that resulted from the prepayment penalty on the Hillair debt of $9.6 million. More importantly, as
a result of the conversion to preferred stock that is convertible at $.03 per share, we have had a $9.6 million equity pick-up
in stockholders’ equity. This is truly a spectacular event for the Company, and results in an upward change of approximately
$9.6 million from our prior stockholders’ deficit (based on the unaudited balance sheet at June 30, 2015, of $6.2
million), to actual stockholders’ equity, unaudited, of approximately $3 million. We are extremely pleased with Hillair,
who has again proven to be an exceptional capital partner in working towards our mutual success for the Company’s stockholders.”
Andrew Reckles, Legend’s CEO and Chairman, further stated,
“this series of transactions is one of the final steps in the “restructuring” of Legend Oil and Gas, which began
nearly eighteen (18) months ago. Our balance sheet has been strengthened tremendously and we are poised to move the Company forward
in the Oil Field Services Industry. It is our goal to find other acquisitions and roll up a diversified portfolio of Services companies
in the midstream. Our focus is on cash flowing businesses in the major U.S. oil basins. We are grateful to have the visionary capital
partners we have in Hillair, who see that the services sector and rolling up small to mid sized businesses in that sector requires
a strong balance sheet and their willingness to work with us to eliminate nearly $11.5mm in debt demonstrates a strong commitment
to us, to our shareholders and to our future.”
