PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
[MISSING IMAGE: LG_RGS-ENERGY.JPG]
Units, Series A 1 2.5% Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
(___ shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A 12.5% Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants)
We are offering an aggregate of up to_____ Units, representing $___ of units, or “Units,” each consisting of: (i) one share of our Series A 12.5% Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with a stated value of  $1,000 per share, or “Preferred Stock,” which is initially convertible into ____ shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or “Common Stock;” and (ii) a Series H Warrant to purchase ____ shares of our Common Stock. The Units will not be issued or certificated. The Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately, but will be purchased together as a unit in this offering. This prospectus also covers up to ___shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series H Warrants.
Our Common Stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RGSE.” On July 14, 2016, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $3.64 per share. There is no established public trading market for the Units, the Preferred Stock or the Series H Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the Units, the Preferred Stock or the Series H Warrants on The NASDAQ Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “ Risk Factors ” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Roth Capital Partners, LLC, which we refer to as the “placement agent,” has agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Units, but will use its reasonable best efforts to sell the Units. The placement agent may engage one or more sub-agents or selected dealers in connection with this offering. There is no minimum purchase requirement for this offering. We have agreed to pay the placement agent the placement agent fee set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities we are offering.

Delivery of the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants is expected to be made on or before _____, 2016 subject to customary closing conditions. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, placement agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above. This offering will terminate on ____, 2016, unless the offering is fully subscribed before that date or we decide to terminate the offering prior to that date.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This prospectus summary highlights important features of this offering and the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
Overview of our Company
We are a residential and small commercial solar energy engineering, procurement and construction firm. We also perform most of our own sales and marketing activities to generate leads and secure projects. We offer turnkey services, including design, procurement, permitting, build-out, grid connection, financing referrals and warranty and customer satisfaction activities. Our solar energy systems use high-quality solar photovoltaic modules. We use proven technologies and techniques to help customers achieve meaningful savings by reducing their utility costs. In addition, we help customers lower their emissions output and reliance upon fossil fuel energy sources.
We, including our predecessors, have more than 35 years of experience in residential solar energy and trace our roots to 1978, when Real Goods Trading Corporation sold the first solar photovoltaic panels in the United States. We have designed and installed over 25,000 residential and commercial solar systems since our founding.
During 2014, we discontinued our entire former Commercial segment and sold the assets associated with our catalog segment (a portion of the Other segment). As a result of this major strategic shift, we now operate as three reportable segments: (1) Residential — the installation of solar energy systems for homeowners, including lease financing thereof, and for small businesses (small commercial) in the continental U.S.; (2) Sunetric — the installation of solar energy systems for both homeowners and business owners (commercial) in Hawaii; and (3) Other — catalog, for 2014, and corporate operations.
Our executive offices are located at 833 West South Boulder Road, Louisville, CO 80027-2452. Our telephone number is (303) 222-8300. Our website is www.rgsenergy.com. The information on our website is not intended to be a part of this prospectus, and you should not rely on any of the information provided there in making your decision to invest in our securities. Our website address referenced above is intended to be an inactive textual reference only and not an active hyperlink to our website.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision you should carefully read and consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including, without limitation, the risk factors in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC. If any of the risks listed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks Related to this Offering
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering. Investors in this offering and our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase our profitability or market value.
Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The public offering price of the Units offered pursuant to this prospectus is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock. Therefore, if you purchase Units in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants from the price per Unit that you pay for the securities. Based on the sale of ___ Units at a public offering price of  $___ per Unit in this offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of approximately $(___) per share in the net tangible book value of the Common Stock. Moreover, as described under “Prospectus Summary — The Offering,” we have a substantial number of stock options, warrants to purchase Common Stock and convertible notes convertible into Common Stock outstanding. If the holders of outstanding options, warrants and convertible notes exercise or converts those options, warrants or convertible notes at prices below the public offering price, you will incur further dilution.
The offering price determined for this offering is not an indication of our value.
The per-Unit offering price and the initial conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the initial exercise price of the Series H Warrants may not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value of our assets, past operations, cash flows, losses, financial condition or any other established criteria for value. You should not consider the offering price for the Units as an indication of the value of the Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants. After the date of this prospectus, the Common Stock may trade at prices above or below the price per share of Common Stock imputed by the offering price.
There is a limited public trading market for the Common Stock.
The Common Stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “RGSE.” There is a limited public trading market for the Common Stock. Without an active trading market, there can be no assurance of any liquidity or resale value of the Common Stock, and shareholders may be required to hold shares of the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time.
Risk Related to the Units, the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants
There is no public market for the Units, the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants.
There is no established public trading market for the Units, the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants offered by this prospectus and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not
5

intend to apply to list the Units, the Preferred Stock or the Series H Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including The NASDAQ Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Units, the Preferred Stock and the Series H Warrants will be limited.
As a holder of the Preferred Stock or Series H Warrants you have no voting rights.
You will have no voting rights as a holder of the Preferred Stock or Series H Warrants. Our Common Stock is currently the only class of our securities that carries full voting rights.
If our Common Stock is delisted, your ability to transfer or sell the Preferred Stock or Series H Warrants may be limited and the market value of the Preferred Stock or Series H Warrants will likely be materially adversely affected.
We expect that the value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants to some extent is tied to the perceived value of their conversion and exercise features. If our Common Stock is delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, your ability to transfer or sell the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants may be limited and the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants will likely be materially adversely affected.
We expect that the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants will be significantly affected by changes in the market price of our Common Stock, which could change substantially at any time.
We expect that the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the market price of our Common Stock. Each of these factors may be volatile, and may or may not be within our control. For example, we expect the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants will increase with increases in the market price of our Common Stock. As described in another risk factor, the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile in the past and could fluctuate widely in response to various factors.
We may issue additional shares of our Common Stock or instruments convertible or exercisable into our Common Stock, including in connection with exercise of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants, and thereby materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock, and, in turn, the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants.
Subject to certain contractual limitations we are under, we may offer and sell additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock during the life of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for our Common Stock. If we issue additional shares of our Common Stock or instruments convertible or exercisable into our Common Stock, it may materially and adversely affect the price of our Common Stock and, in turn, the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants. Furthermore, as described in a different risk factors, the conversion or exercise of some or all of our outstanding derivative securities, including the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants, will dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders, and any sales in the public market of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon any such conversion or exercise could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock or the market value of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants.
Holders of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants will be entitled to only limited rights with respect to our Common Stock, and will be subject to all changes made with respect to our Common Stock to the extent holders receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants.
Holders of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants will be entitled to only limited rights with respect to our Common Stock until the time at which they become holders of our Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants, but will be subject to all changes affecting our Common Stock before that time. For example, if an amendment is proposed to our articles of incorporation requiring shareholder approval and the record date for determining the shareholders of record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs before the date you are deemed to be a record holder of our Common Stock, you generally will not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although you will nevertheless be subject to any changes affecting our Common Stock.
6

The exercise price of the Series H Warrants will not be adjusted for certain dilutive events.
The exercise prices of the Series H Warrants is not subject to adjustment upon a future issuances of securities, including, without limitation, capital stock, options and convertible securities. Such issuances, transactions or occurrences that may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock or the market value of the Series H Warrants without resulting in an adjustment of the exercise prices of the Series H Warrants.
To the extent we issue shares of our Common Stock to satisfy all or a portion of our conversion or exercise obligations, conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series H Warrants will dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders, including holders who had previously converted or exercised their Preferred Stock or Series H Warrants.
Issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series H Warrants will dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders. Further, any sales in the public market of our Common Stock issuable upon such exercise could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock. In addition, the existence of the Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series H Warrants could depress the price of our Common Stock.
You may receive less valuable consideration than expected because the value of our Common Stock may decline after you convert the Preferred Stock or exercise the Series H Warrants issued in this offering, but before we settle our obligation thereunder.
A converting or exercising holder will be exposed to fluctuations in the value of our Common Stock during the period from the date such holder converts the Preferred Stock or surrenders Series H Warrants for exercise until the date we settle our exercise obligation. Upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series H Warrants, we will be required to deliver the shares of our Common Stock, on the third business day following the relevant conversion or exercise date. Accordingly, if the price of our Common Stock decreases during this period, the value of the shares that you receive will be adversely affected and would be less than the value on the exercise date.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to reduce our current accounts payable balances, pay down our existing revolving loan facility (which accrues interest at the greater of  (i) the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 3.0% and (ii) 7.0% and matures on March 31, 2017), for working capital purposes, to increase sales and operational capabilities and/or for any scheduled repayment of indebtedness, but not for the redemption or repurchase of any of our or our subsidiaries’ equity securities.

DILUTION
Dilution is the amount by which the purchase price paid by the purchasers for the securities offered in this offering will exceed the as-adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our Common Stock after the offering.
Net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our Common Stock as of a particular date represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date. As of March 31, 2016, our net tangible book value (deficit) was approximately $(5.7) million, or $(9.14) per share of Common Stock. Purchasers of Units in this offering will experience substantial and immediate dilution in net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock for financial accounting purposes immediately following the closing. The calculations below are based on there being 628,161 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2016.
The Units offered in this offering contain shares of Preferred Stock that are convertible into shares of Common Stock. The following table illustrates this dilution based on (i) the offering of an aggregate of _____ Units at a public offering price of  $_____ per Unit, and (ii) the issuance of _____ shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock at the Set Price of  $_____.

In the tables below, we illustrate this dilution based on (i) the offering of an aggregate of _____ of Units at a public offering price of  $_____ per Unit, and (ii) the issuance of ____ shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Series H Warrants at an exercise price of $_____ per share.

If we raise additional capital in the future, we may in the future sell substantial additional amounts of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock. We may also choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or other strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. The issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Roth Capital Partners, LLC, which we refer to as the “placement agent,” has agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering subject to the terms and conditions of a placement agency agreement dated ___, 2016. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any of the Units offered by this prospectus, nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the Units. The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of all of the Units offered hereby. Therefore, we may not sell the entire amount of the Units offered pursuant to this prospectus. The placement agent may engage one or more sub-agents or selected dealers in connection with this offering.
We will enter into a securities purchase agreement directly with investors who purchase not less than $_____ of securities in this offering. A form of securities purchase agreement is attached hereto as Annex A, which provides such investor with certain representations and covenants from us that will not apply to investors in lesser amounts of our Units. Our obligation to issue and sell the Units to the investor parties to the securities purchase agreement is subject to the closing conditions set forth in the securities purchase agreement, including, among other things, the absence of any material adverse change in our business and the receipt of certain opinions, letters and certificates from us or our counsel, which may be waived by the respective parties.
The securities purchase agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions.
The securities purchase agreement prohibits us from, among other things, issuing or entering into an agreement to issue shares of Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock for a period of __ days after the closing of this offering. Further, from the date of execution of the securities purchase agreement until ___, the securities purchase agreement prohibits us form effecting transactions or entering into agreements for transactions that involve our issuing securities at a variable price to be determined in the future.
We currently anticipate that the sale of the Units will be completed on or before ___, 2016. We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agent’s fee, will be approximately $___, which includes legal and printing costs, various other fees and reimbursement of the placements agent’s expenses.
Commissions and Expenses
We have agreed to pay the placement agent an aggregate cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received at the closing from the sale of the Units.

Per Unit
$_____
Total
$_____ (assuming all Units are sold)
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual aggregate cash placement fee, if any, is not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth above. In addition, subject to FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(d)(i), we have agreed to reimburse the placement agent if this offering is not completed, for its actual out of pocket expenses up to a maximum of  $75,0000 (with supporting invoices/receipts). If this offering is completed, we have agreed to pay the placement agent a non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of gross offering proceeds, plus reimbursement of the placement agent’s legal expenses up to $75,000.
Our agreement with the placement agent provides that if we have not already paid to the placement agent the contemplated transaction fee in connection with a financing transaction, we are obligated to pay to the placement agent such transaction fee (cash) with respect to any financing transaction to the extent that the financing is provided to us by investors who the placement agent had introduced to us during the term of the agreement, if the financing is consummated within three months after the expiration or termination of the agreement.

In addition, we have agreed to give the placement agent a right of first refusal to act as our placement agent or underwriter in any public or private offering of our securities for a period of six months following termination of the placement agency agreement.
Indemnification

Regulation M Restrictions
The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of any shares of Common Stock or the warrants sold by it while acting as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

11

applicable statutes and regulations, in the course of its businesses, the placement agent and its affiliates may actively trade our securities or loans for their own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the placement agent and its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities or loans.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
We are offering an aggregate of up to _____ of Units, each consisting of  (i) one share of our Preferred Stock and (ii) a Series H Warrant to purchase __ shares of our Common Stock. The Units will not be issued or certificated. The Preferred Stock and Series H Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately, but will be purchased together as a unit in this offering. This prospectus also covers up to ___ shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series H Warrants.
Description of Common Stock
Our authorized Common Stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of July 14, 2016, there were 662,917 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Although we believe the following summary description of our Common Stock set forth below is accurate, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws cover all material provisions affecting the rights of holders of our Common Stock. This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to our articles of incorporation and bylaws.
Voting Rights
Each holder of shares of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. All holders of shares of Common Stock vote as a single group on all matters that are submitted to the shareholders for a vote. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors who stand for election. Our entire board of directors stands for election each year. A required number of shareholders having the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted may consent to an action in writing and without a meeting under certain circumstances.
Dividends and Liquidation
Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any, shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the shares of Common Stock are entitled to our assets remaining after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, including preferential payments made to holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of shares of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of Common Stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
The following provisions, which are contained in our articles of incorporation or bylaws, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that our board may consist of any number of directors, which may be fixed from time to time by our board. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our authorized number of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office or by an election at an annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose. Any vacancies on our board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filled a majority of our board then in office, even if less than a quorum is remaining in office.
We believe that Riverside Renewable Energy Investments LLC (“Riverside”) holds approximately 13.7% of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the Alteris acquisition as of December 19, 2011, Riverside has the right to designate a certain number of individuals for appointment or nomination to our board of directors, tied to its ownership of our Common Stock. Consequently, Riverside is able to exert substantial influence over our company and matters requiring approval by our shareholders,
13

including the election of directors, increasing our authorized capital stock, financing activities, a merger or sale of our assets and the number of shares available for issuance under our incentive plan. As a result of Riverside’s voting power, it would be difficult to achieve a change of control of our company without their consent.
Our bylaws require advance notice by a shareholder of any proposal to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, including any nomination for election of directors by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting. Our bylaws also provide that no shareholder proposal may be considered at a meeting of our shareholders unless the proposal relates to a matter on which a shareholder vote is required by our charter, bylaws or by applicable law.
Our board of directors has the power to issue preferred stock with designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights determined by the board of directors without any vote or action by shareholders. The issuance of preferred stock or of rights to purchase preferred stock, including the Preferred Stock offered in this prospectus, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire Real Goods Solar, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire Real Goods Solar.
Subject to repeal or change by action of our shareholders, our board may amend, supplement or repeal our bylaws or adopt new bylaws.
Description of Preferred Stock
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Preferred Stock. This summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations and our Articles of Incorporation, each as filed by us with the office of the Secretary of State of Colorado. You should review a copy of the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Annex B for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Preferred Stock offered by this prospectus.
Form .   The Preferred Stock will be issued as individual preferred stock certificate to the investors.
Amount of Preferred Stock Shares .   Each purchaser of Units will receive one share of Preferred Stock for each Unit purchased. Each share of Preferred Stock has a par value of  $0.0001 and an initial stated value of $1,000 (subject to adjustment).
Ranking .   The Preferred Stock will rank senior to our Common Stock and other classes of capital stock with respect to dividend, redemption and distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock consent to the creation of parity stock or senior preferred stock.
Voting Rights .   With certain exceptions, as described in the Certificate of Designation, the Preferred Shares have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Preferred Shares remain outstanding, we may not, without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock: (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation; (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Preferred Stock; (c) amend our articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock; (d) increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock; or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Liquidation Preference .   Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before the payment of any amount to the holder of shares of junior stock, but pari passu with any parity stock, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount equal to the stated value of the Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other amounts then due and owing. If there are insufficient assets to pay in full such amounts, then the available assets shall be ratably distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The Certificate of Designation does not provide for any restriction on the repurchase of Preferred Shares by us while there is an arrearage in the payment of dividends of the Preferred Shares.
14

Dividends .   Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 12.5% per annum, payable on the first business day of each month commencing on August 1, 2016 and on each conversion date. We are currently not permitted to pay cash dividends under the terms of the Colorado Business Corporations Act and we will so advise the holders of Preferred Stock at the closing of this offering. If we do not have funds legally available to pay cash dividends, such dividends accrete to and increase the outstanding stated value of the Preferred Stock. If the Preferred Stock remains outstanding after September 29, 2016, dividends will cease to accrue on such date if we meet certain equity conditions, as further described below. Any dividends that are not paid within three trading days following the applicable payment date other than dividends that accrete to and increase the stated value shall continue to accrue and shall incur a late fee at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser maximum rate permitted by applicable law, which shall accrue daily from the applicable payment date through and including the date of actual payment in full. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Preferred Stock.
Voluntary Conversion.    Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to its then stated value divided by the conversion price.
Mandatory Conversion.    On September 26, 2016, to be effective September 29, 2016, we will have the right to cause each holder of Preferred Stock to convert all or part of such holder’s Preferred Stock, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other amounts then due and owing, to shares of our Common Stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain equity and other conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation. If all of the equity conditions are satisfied other than the requirement that we are able to issue shares of Common Stock upon mandatory conversion of the Preferred Stock without triggering the beneficial ownership limitation described below, then we will convert shares of Preferred Stock in the maximum amount permitted and the balance of the Preferred Stock will remain outstanding, the dividends will cease to accrue and the full-ratchet price protection described below and the negative covenants described below become null and void and of no further force and effect.
Limitations on Conversion .   A holder of Preferred Stock may not convert shares of Preferred Stock and we may not issue shares of Common Stock under the Preferred Stock if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. At each holder’s option, the cap may be increased or decreased to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, except that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after notice to us.
Conversion Price .   Generally, the conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall be equal to the lesser of: (a) the Set Price of  $_____, subject to adjustment, a reset and a floor; and (b) 87.5% of the lowest volume weighted average price for our Common Stock as reported at the close of trading on the market reporting trade prices for the Common Stock during the five trading days ending on, and including, the date that a notice of conversion is tendered to us. In connection with a mandatory conversion by us, the conversion price shall be the lesser of: (y) the then Set Price; and (z) 75% of the lowest volume weighted average price for our Common Stock as reported at the close of trading on the market reporting trade prices for the Common Stock during the five trading days ending on, and including, September 29, 2016. In addition, on the earlier of (I) the redemption or repayment in full of our convertible notes due April 1, 2019, and (II) the maturity date of such notes, the then Set Price shall be reduced, and only reduced, to the lower of: (A) the then Set Price; and (B) 100% of the volume weighted average price for our Common Stock as reported at the close of trading on the market reporting trade prices for the Common Stock on such date. In no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.10. The Set Price is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, distributions of Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications. Further, if we in the future, among other things, sell or grant securities or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock (other than certain exempt issuances) at an effective price that is lower than the then Set Price, the then Set Price shall be reduced to such lower price.
Purchase Rights .   Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to acquire our securities or rights to purchase our securities or property granted, issued or sold pro rata to the holders of our Common Stock on an “as if exercised for Common Stock” basis.
15

Rights Upon Distribution .   Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of our assets (or rights to acquire our assets) declared or made to holders of our Common Stock on an “as if exercised for Common Stock” basis.
Fundamental Transactions .   The Certificate of Designation prohibits us from entering into transactions constituting a “fundamental transaction” (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) unless the successor entity assumes all of our obligations under the Certificate of Designation and the other transaction documents in a written agreement approved by each holder of Preferred Stock. Further, after a “fundamental transaction,” upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive, for each share of our Common Stock that would have been issuable upon conversion but for such “fundamental transaction,” the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation plus any additional consideration receivable as a result of such “fundamental transaction.” The definition of  “fundamental transactions” includes, but is not limited to, mergers, a sale of all or substantially all our assets, certain tender offers and other transactions that result in a change of control.
Market and Exchange Listing .   The Preferred Stock is a new issue of securities and currently there is no market for the securities. We do not intend to list or qualify for quotation the Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or market.
Negative Covenants .   So long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, without the consent of holders of at least 51% of the stated value of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, we may not (a) amend our charter documents in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, (b) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of our Common Stock and other junior securities, subject to certain exceptions, (c) pay cash dividends or make distribution on junior securities, (d) enter into certain affiliate transactions, and (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

The Series H Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series H Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Series H Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Registration of Series H Warrant Shares .   The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Series H Warrants is registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. If a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the exercise of the Series H Warrants is not available in the future, then we expect that the Series H Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis.
Cashless Exercise .   If the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Series H Warrant is not covered by a registration statement under the Securities Act, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise a Series H Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would
16

receive upon such exercise the “net number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Series H Warrant.
Limitations on Exercise and Issuance .   A holder may not exercise a Series H Warrant and we may not issue shares of Common Stock under the Series H Warrants if, after giving effect to the exercise or issuance, the holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. At each holder’s option, the cap may be increased or decreased to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, except that any increase will not be effective until the 61 st day after notice to us.

Transferability .   Subject to applicable laws, the Series H Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. However, there is no established public trading market for the Series H Warrants and we do not expect one to develop.
Purchase Rights .   The holders of the Series H Warrants are entitled to acquire options, convertible securities or rights to purchase our securities or property granted, issued or sold pro rata to the holders of our Common Stock on an “as if exercised for Common Stock” basis.
Rights Upon Distribution .   The holders of Series H Warrants are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of our assets (or rights to acquire our assets), at any time after the issuance of the Series H Warrants, on an “as if exercised for Common Stock” basis.

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.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this 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 transactions contemplated hereby.

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.
A-23

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 the Placement Agent.

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 any one 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) by 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 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 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, 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 Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. 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 then 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
B-9

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 and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
d)    Beneficial Ownership Limitation .   The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “ Attribution Parties ”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon: (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties; and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(d) applicable to its Preferred Stock provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Preferred Stock held by the
B-10

Holder and the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.
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; (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 Set 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 Equity Sales .   If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as applicable sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Set Price (such lower price, the “ Base Set Price ” and such issuances, collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Set Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Set Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Set Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Set Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Corporation shall notify the Holders in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holders are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Set Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the Base Set Price in the Notice of Conversion.
c)    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 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
B-11

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).
d)    Pro Rata Distributions .   During such time as this Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation 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 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 , 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).
e)    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
B-12

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 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.
f)    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.
g)    Notice to the Holders .
i.    Adjustment to Conversion Price .   Whenever the Set Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Set 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
B-13

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 by facsimile or email to each Holder at its last facsimile number or email 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 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 .    Forced Conversion .   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on September 26, 2016, the Corporation shall deliver a written notice to all Holders (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ” and the date such notice is delivered to all Holders, the “ Forced Conversion Notice Date ”) to cause each Holder to convert all or part of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (as specified in such Forced Conversion Notice) plus all accrued, but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 6 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “ Forced Conversion Date ”). The Corporation may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each Trading Day during the period beginning on the Forced Conversion Notice Date through and including the later of the Forced Conversion Date and the Trading Day after the date that the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such forced conversion are actually delivered to the Holders pursuant to the Forced Conversion Notice; provided , however , in the event that all of the Equity Conditions are met other than clause (f) (Beneficial Ownership Limitation) thereunder, then the dividend shall cease to accrue as of such Forced Conversion Date and Sections 3(d), 7(b) and Section 9 shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect. For purposes of clarification, a forced conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 6, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions.
Section 9 .    Negative Covenants .   As long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless the Holders of at least 51% in Stated Value of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
a)   amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holder;
b)   repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or Junior Securities, other than as to (i) the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares as permitted or required under the Transaction
B-14

Documents and (ii) repurchases of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of departing officers and directors of the Corporation, provided that such repurchases shall not exceed an aggregate of  $100,000 for all officers and directors for so long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding;
c)   pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities of the Corporation;
d)   enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Corporation which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval); or
e)   enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section 10 .   [RESERVED]
Section 11 .    Miscellaneous .

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “ Warrant ”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 17. This Warrant is one of the Series H Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “ SPA Warrants ”) issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of ___, 2016 (the “ Subscription Date ”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “ Buyers ”) referred to therein (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
1.    EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a)  Mechanics of Exercise .   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof  (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1 st ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2 nd ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “ Share Delivery Date ”) (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate,
C-1

registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (other than the Holder’s income taxes) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions 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.
(b)  Exercise Price .   For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $___, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c)  Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities .   If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, (II) if the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 1(d)) covering the issuance of all of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “ Unavailable Warrant Shares ”) is not available for the issuance of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than one Trading Day thereafter, (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/​Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “ Notice Failure ” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, an “ Exercise Failure ”) or (III) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as required pursuant to the terms of Section 1(a), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket
C-2

expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of  (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1(c). Nothing shall limit the 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 (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d)  Cashless Exercise .   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File number 333-211915) or other applicable registration statement under the 1933 Act (the “ Registration Statement ”), covering the issuance of the Unavailable Warrant Shares is not available for the issuance of such Unavailable Warrant Shares the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
D
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
D= the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the Exercise Notice.
If Warrant Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(d).
(e)  Disputes .   In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
(f)  Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Exercises .   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or
C-3

conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ 1934 Act ”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “ Reported Outstanding Share Number ”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “ Reduction Shares ”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “ Excess Shares ”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
(g)  Insufficient Authorized Shares .   If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (the “ Required Reserve Amount ” and the failure to have such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock, an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall promptly take all action reasonably necessary to
C-4

increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall either (x) obtain the written consent of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and provide each shareholder with an information statement with respect thereto or (y) hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for exercise of this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holder and the holders of the other SPA Warrants, based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations in exercise) issued to the Holder on the Issuance Date (the “ Authorized Share Allocation ”). In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Warrant, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any SPA Warrants shall be allocated to the Holder and the remaining holders of SPA Warrants, pro rata based on the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants then held by such holders (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the SPA Warrants).
2.    ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES .   The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a)  Voluntary Adjustment By Company .   The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b)  Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock .   If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(c)  Adjustment .   If the Exercise Price on the earlier of the date of  (i) repayment in full of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes of the Company due on April 1, 2019 (“ Notes ”) and (ii) the maturity date of the Notes (such earlier date, the “ Adjustment Date ”) exceeds eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, but including, the Adjustment Date (the “ Adjusted Exercise Price ”), the Exercise Price hereunder shall be reset to the Adjusted Exercise Price, subject to further adjustment hereunder.
(d)  Other Events .   If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2, but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares,
C-5

as mutually determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Required Holders, so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(d) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
3.    RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS .   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, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets 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 Warrant, 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 Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
4.    PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .
(a)  Purchase Rights .   In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder 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 exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 , that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(b)  Fundamental Transactions .   The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements, if so requested by the Holder, to deliver to each holder of the SPA Warrants in exchange for such SPA Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without
C-6

limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise 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 adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, and the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Warrant, and, solely at the request of the Holder, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, shall deliver (in addition to and without limiting any right under this Warrant) to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the “ Successor Capital Stock ”) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction (such corresponding number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to the Holder shall be equal to the greater of  (A) the quotient of  (i) the aggregate dollar value of all consideration (including cash consideration and any consideration other than cash (“ Non-Cash Consideration ”), in such Fundamental Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Fundamental Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, as determined in accordance with Section 12 with the term “Non-Cash Consideration” being substituted for the term “Exercise Price”) that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) (the “ Aggregate Consideration ”) divided by (ii) the per share Closing Sale Price of such Successor Capital Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction and (B) the product of  (i) the Aggregate Consideration and (ii) the highest exchange ratio pursuant to which any shareholder of the Company may exchange Common Stock for Successor Capital Stock) (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then the Holder shall not be entitled to receive such shares to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity as a result of such consideration to such extent) and the portion of such shares shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation), and such security shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, and with an identical exercise price to the Exercise Price hereunder (such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting after the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction the economic value of
C-7

this Warrant that was in effect immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option). Upon occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option, shares of Common Stock, Successor Capital Stock or, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock or Successor Capital Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that, and any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that, the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Corporate Event, shares of Common Stock or Successor Capital Stock or, if so elected by the Holder, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event (but not in lieu of such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on the such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the
C-10

Item 14.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “CBCA”) generally provides that a corporation may indemnify a person made party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: the person’s conduct was in good faith; the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, and, in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful. The CBCA prohibits such indemnification in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the person was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding in which the person was adjudged liable for having derived an improper personal benefit. The CBCA further provides that, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. In addition, a director or officer, who is or was a party to a proceeding, may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. The CBCA allows a corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director.
As permitted by the CBCA, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA. In addition, the Company may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer who is not a director to a greater extent, not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of the Company’s board of director or shareholders.
The Company has entered into substantively identical Indemnification Agreements with certain current and former directors and officers (the “Indemnitees”), which generally provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, the Company shall indemnify such Indemnitee if the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or while serving as a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity or by reason of the imposition upon such officer or director of any federal and/or state income tax obligation (inclusive of any interest and penalties, if applicable), that is imposed on such officer or director with respect to income, “phantom income,” rescinded or unconsummated transactions, or any other allegedly taxable event for which no benefit was received by such officer or director. The indemnification obligation includes, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against an Indemnitee in respect of an alleged breach of fiduciary duties and generally covers expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
II-1

reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee or on an Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if the Indemnitee acted in good faith; and, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, if such conduct was in the Company’s best interests, and, in all other cases, if such conduct was at least not opposed to the Company’s best interests; and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, if the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Section 7-108-402(1) of the CBCA permits a corporation to include in its articles of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director (except for breach of a director’s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful distributions, or any transaction from which the director derived improper personal benefit). Further, Section 7-108-402(2) of the CBCA provides that no director or officer shall be personal liable for any injury to persons or property arising from a tort committed by an employee, unless the director or officer was either personally involved in the situation giving rise to the litigation or committed a criminal offense in connection with such situation.
As permitted by the CBCA, the Company’s articles of incorporation provide that the personal liability of the Company’s directors to the Company or its shareholders is limited to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA. The Indemnification Agreements described above also provide that the Company’s indemnification obligation includes, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against the Indemnitee in respect of an alleged breach of fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA.
Section 7-109-108 of the CBCA provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another entity or an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from the person’s status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the same liability under the CBCA.
As permitted by the CBCA, the Company’s bylaws authorize the Company to purchase and maintain such insurance. The Company currently maintains a directors and officers insurance policy insuring its past, present and future directors and officers, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings.

(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however , that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not
II-5

apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
