(“Inventergy”), and Inventergy Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of eOn (“Merger Sub”) entered
into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger
of Inventergy with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). The Merger was consummated on June 6, 2014. Please see Item

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The Merger
The Merger was consummated on June 6, 2014, as a result of which
Inventergy merged with and into Merger Sub and holders of Inventergy securities were issued securities of the Company. Upon the
consummation of the Merger, the Company changed its name from “eOn Communications Corporation” to “Inventergy
Global, Inc.” and effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of the Company common stock (the “Reverse Split”).
In connection with the consummation of the Merger:
(i) each share of Inventergy common stock was exchanged for
1.4139 shares of Company common stock on a post-Reverse Split basis (the “Exchange Ratio”);
(ii) the Inventergy Series A Preferred Stock was exchanged for
a like number of newly-created Company Series A Preferred Stock;
(iii) options and restricted shares of Inventergy common stock
awarded pursuant to the Inventergy 2013 Stock Plan and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger were converted
into awards of options to purchase Company common stock and restricted shares of Company common stock with terms and conditions
identical to the terms and conditions of the corresponding options to purchase Inventergy common stock and awards of restricted
shares of Inventergy common stock (as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio); and
(iv) outstanding warrants to purchase Inventergy
common stock were exchanged for warrants to acquire Company common stock with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions
of the corresponding warrants to purchase Inventergy common stock (as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio).
Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the Company
had 20,018,028 shares of common stock, 6,176,748 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2,231 shares of Series B Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding. In addition, it had warrants to purchase 700,937 shares of common stock outstanding and 238,412 placement
agent warrants outstanding. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INVT”
on June 9, 2014.
Please see Item 2.03 for a discussion of the Company Notes.
The Transition Transactions
In connection with the Merger, on December 17, 2013, eOn, Cortelco
Systems Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn (“Cortelco Holding”), eOn Communications
Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn (“eOn Subsidiary”), and Cortelco, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Cortelco Holding (“Cortelco”) entered into a transition agreement
(the “Transition Agreement”). The Transition Agreement provided for several transactions among eOn and its subsidiaries
in connection with, and subject to the completion of, the Merger. Each of these transactions were consummated at the time the Merger
became effective (the “Effective Time”), including the following (collectively, the “Transition Transactions”):
(1) eOn and Cortelco each transferred certain contracts and
other assets to eOn Subsidiary, and eOn Subsidiary assumed the liabilities associated with such contracts on and after the date
of assumption;
(2) eOn Subsidiary purchased from Cortelco certain inventory
for a purchase price equal to Cortelco’s book value of such inventory;
(3) eOn and Cortelco Holding redeemed in full those certain
contingent notes in the maximum initial amount of $11 million (collectively, the “Contingent Note”) in consideration
of paying the holders of the Contingent Note (the “Noteholders”) either cash in the aggregate amount of $300,000 or
shares of Cortelco Holding owned by eOn;
(4) Cortelco entered into a fulfillment services agreement with
eOn Subsidiary providing for certain services to be conducted on behalf of eOn Subsidiary after the Merger;
(5) the Company transferred to Cortelco Holding (i) all of its
ownership in Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico, Inc., and Symbio Investment Corp., and (ii) eOn’s right to require David S. Lee,
former Chairman of eOn, to purchase its investment in Symbio Investment Corp.; and
(6) the Company and Cortelco Holding entered into an indemnity
agreement providing that Cortelco will indemnify the Company from and against any future losses arising from the Contingent Note
and certain other matters.
Upon completion of the Merger and the Transition Transactions,
the Company owns all of the outstanding stock of Inventergy and eOn Subsidiary and has transferred certain assets held prior to
the Merger and no longer owns an interest in Cortelco Holding, Cortelco, Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico, Inc., or Symbio Investment
Corp.
Indemnity Agreements
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on June 6,
2014, the Company entered into separate indemnity agreements with each of eOn’s and the Company’s officers and directors
(each, an “Indemnity Agreement” and collectively, the “Indemnity Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company
agreed to indemnify such individuals in connection with claims brought against them in their capacities as officers and directors
of eOn prior to the Merger and the Company following the Merger. Each Indemnity Agreement also provides each individual with, among
other things, certain advancement rights in legal proceedings so long as such individual undertakes to repay the advancement if
it is later determined that such individual is not entitled to be indemnified.
The preceding is a summary of the material provisions of the
Indemnity Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of Indemnity Agreement filed
as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Lock-up Agreements
In connection with the pending Merger, on or about May 9, 2014,
holders of Inventergy securities who are subject to an existing lock-up agreement (the “Pre-Existing Lock-up Agreements”)
entered into a letter agreement addendum to their Pre-Existing Lock-up Agreements (the “Addendum”) providing that,
upon the consummation of the Merger, the terms of the Pre-Existing Lock-up Agreements would apply mutatis mutandis to any
shares of Company common stock received in the Merger. The Addendum provides that Inventergy’s officers and directors and
the majority of the then holders of outstanding common stock of Inventergy would not (a) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree

The preceding is a summary of the material provisions of the
Pre-Existing Lock-up Agreements and the Addendum and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the forms
of the Pre-Existing Lock-up Agreement and Addendum, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated
herein by reference.
In addition, on or about June 9, 2014, certain stockholders
and founders of Inventergy representing approximately 78% of the issued common stock and preferred stock of Inventergy entered
into a lock-up agreement (the “New Lock-up Agreements”) with the Company. Pursuant to the New Lock-up Agreements, each
such stockholder agreed (a) to sell no restricted securities of the Company until July 1, 2014 unless the Company’s common
stock price is above $6.00 per share; (b) from July 1, 2014 to August 30, 2014, to sell on a monthly basis no more than 6% of that
stockholder's beneficially held restricted securities if the Company's stock price is above $4.00 per share; (c) from September
1, 2014 through November 30, 2014, to sell on a monthly basis no more than 6% of that stockholder's beneficially held restricted

The preceding is a summary of the material provisions of the
form of the New Lock-up Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of New Lock-up

Company Notes
Registered Notes
On May 10, 2013, Inventergy and the investors named therein
entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal
amount of $5 million (the “Inventergy Notes”). On March 24, 2014, Inventergy and the investors named therein entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Consolidated Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things,
the Inventergy Notes were restructured with terms substantially similar to the Inventergy New Notes (which are discussed below).
On June 6, 2014, upon consummation of the Merger, the Inventergy Notes were exchanged for Amended and Restated Company Notes (the
“Company Registered Notes”) and the obligations pursuant to such notes were assumed in full by the Company.

Purchase Agreement, Inventergy issued additional Senior Secured Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3 million

Notes”) and the obligations pursuant to such notes were assumed in full by the Company.
Terms of the Company Notes

common stock issuable upon conversion of such notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
General
Pursuant to the terms of the Company Notes, interest accrues

the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty days after the expiration of
such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit
worthy party shall not be included in calculating the Threshold Amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the holder
a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity
and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty days of the issuance of such judgment;
(viii) prior to the Control Account equaling
or exceeding full collateralization of the Company Notes including principal and interest, other than as specifically set forth
in another clause, the Company or any of its subsidiaries breaches any material representation, warranty, covenant or other term

in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Security Document;
(xii) any Security Document, after delivery

by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority lien in favor of the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Company Notes) for the
benefit of the holders of the Company Notes on any Collateral (as defined in the Company Notes) purported to be covered thereby;
(xiii) any bank at which any deposit account,
blocked account, or lockbox account of the Company or any subsidiary is maintained shall fail to comply with any material term
of any deposit account, blocked account, lockbox account or similar agreement to which such bank is a party or any securities intermediary,
commodity intermediary or other financial institution at any time in custody, control or possession of any investment property
of the Company or any subsidiary shall fail to comply with any of the terms of any investment property control agreement to which
such person is a party (it being understood that only accounts pursuant to which the Collateral Agent has requested account control
agreements should be subject to this clause (x));
(xiv) any default under, redemption of or

(xvii) any Event of Default (as defined

Security
The payment of amounts due and payable under the Company Notes
is secured by all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a Pledge and Security Agreement, a Supplement to Security
Agreement, a Cash Collateral Agreement and a Deposit and Control Account Agreement (the “Security Documents”). Hudson
Bay IP Opportunities Master Fund, LP serves as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) pursuant to the Security
Documents. In addition, the Company will maintain a cash collateral account for the benefit of the noteholders initially funded
with $3.5 million deposited by Inventergy (the “Control Account”). Such Control Account will be increased with a percentage
of all future revenues and a lesser percentage of any future capital raises, until such time as the funds in such account equal
the remaining principal amount of the Company Notes plus all future interest through maturity of the Company Notes. Until the Control
Account is fully funded, the Company may not use the cash in the Control Account to make payments due pursuant to the Company Notes.
When such Control Account is fully funded, the interest rate on the Company Notes will decrease to 2%, all liens on the Company’s
assets (other than the Control Account itself) will be terminated, all restrictive covenants in the Company Notes will terminate,
and a number of potential events of default will also terminate. Repayment of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Company
Notes are also guaranteed by each of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Guaranty Agreement. The Pledge
and Security Agreement, Supplement to Security Agreement, Cash Collateral Agreement, Deposit and Control Account Agreement and
Guaranty are attached as Exhibits 10.
Conversion
The principal and interest under the Company Notes are convertible
at any time after issuance into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.30448 per share, subject to adjustment as provided
therein; provided, however, that the Company will not effect the conversion of any portion of a Company Note, and the holder shall
not have the right to convert any portion of a Company Note, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the holder
together with other affiliated parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
Redemption Rights
Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company is required
to deliver written notice thereof to the holder of the Company Note and in such event, or upon the holder becoming aware of an
event of default, the holder of the Company Note may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Company Note in cash
equal to 125% of the amount subject to redemption by delivering written notice to the Company (100% in the event of a bankruptcy
event of default), or, in certain circumstances where the holder would not be able to convert the Company Note into common stock
and sell such common stock, the market value of the shares into which the Company Note would otherwise be convertible, if higher.
During the period beginning on the earlier to occur of any oral
or written agreement by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to consummate a transaction which would reasonably be expected to
result in a change of control (as defined in the Company Note), or the holder of the Company Note becoming aware of a change of
control or the receipt of the Company’s required notice prior to the consummation of a change of control, the holders of
the Company Notes have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Company Note in cash at a price equal
to the greater of (a) 125% of the amount of the Company Note being redeemed and (b) the product of the amount being redeemed and
the quotient determined by dividing the greatest closing sale price of the common stock during the period beginning on the date
immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (x) the change of control and (y) the announcement of the change of control and ending
on the date the holder delivers the change of control redemption notice.
From and after October 15, 2014, the holders of the Company
Notes are entitled to a quarterly amortization payment according to an agreed schedule in cash. The Company must also deposit into
the Control Account an amount equal to 25% of the gross revenues of the Company (including license fees, settlement amounts, royalties,
infringement damages and the like) and shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid late charges, then to accrued and unpaid interest
and then to principal. The Company also has the right, exercisable only once, at any time, to prepay one half of the then-outstanding
principal amount of the Company Notes.
Fundamental Transactions
The Company is prohibited pursuant to the
Company Notes from entering into a fundamental transaction (as defined in the Company Notes) unless the successor entity assumes
in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Company Notes and the other documents related to the transaction. Fundamental
transaction is defined to include a consolidation or merger in which the Company’s stockholders are not the holders of a
majority of the voting power of the surviving entity, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of
its significant subsidiaries, certain tender offers for more than 50% of the outstanding common stock, stock purchase agreement
or other business combination in which the entity acquires at least 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
Restrictive Covenants

through the Control Account, the Company and its subsidiaries will be prohibited pursuant to the terms of the Company Notes from
effecting the following:
|
· |
Incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (as defined in the Company Notes) other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Company Notes); |

interim period through April 30, 2014, there were no: (1) disagreements with HORNE LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction
would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable
events.
During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2013 and the
subsequent interim period through April 30, 2014, Marcum LLP was not consulted as to the application of accounting principles,

Certificate of Designation
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company
issued its Series A Preferred Stock (the “Company Series A Preferred Stock”) in exchange for the Inventergy Series
A Preferred Stock on a one for one basis. The Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 6,176,748 shares of Company Series
A Preferred Stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series

stock or other capital stock unless the Company Series A Preferred Stock receives a pro-rata share of such dividend or distribution
on an as-converted basis (unless such dividend or distribution would result in a holder of Company Series A Preferred Stock beneficially
owning in excess of 4.99% of the common stock in which case the portion of such dividend or distribution shall be held in abeyance
for such holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such holder exceeding 4.99% of the common stock).

right upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction, the enumerated protective provisions requiring prior consent of the Company
Series A Preferred Stock and actions requiring the vote of the Series A Director (as described below) shall automatically terminate

|
· |

|
· |
to take any action that adversely effects the Company Series A Preferred Stock, provided, however, that in the case of actions adverse to the Series A-1 Stock, the holders of the Series A-1 Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class on such action, and further provided that in the case of actions adverse to the Series A-2 Stock, the holders of the Series A-2 Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class on such action. |

shall be no fractional shares issued and, in lieu thereof, a holder of Common Stock on the Split Effective Time who would otherwise
be entitled to a fraction of a share as a result of the reclassification, following the Split Effective Time, shall receive a full
share of Common Stock upon the surrender of such stockholders' original stock certificate. No stockholders will receive cash in
lieu of fractional shares.
A. Common Stock. The
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Common Stock are as follows:
1. Dividend Rights. Holders
of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board of Directors”), out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, any dividends as may
be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the
time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends.
2. Liquidation Rights.
Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and subject to any
Preferred Stock designations, their pro rata share of such assets being distributed.
3. Redemption. The Common
Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder.
4. Voting Rights. Holders
of Common Stock shall have the right to cast one vote for each share held at all stockholders' meetings for all purposes, including
the election of directors, and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of
the Corporation. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares
thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote,
irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
B. Preferred Stock.
The Preferred Stock shall be issued by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in one or more classes or one or more series within
any class and such classes or series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations,
preferences, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine from time to time.

Stock are as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

ARTICLE V
For
the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and
regulation of the powers of the Corporation, of its directors and of its stockholders of any class thereof, as the case may be,
it is further provided, with respect to the Board of Directors, that:
A.
Powers. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in the powers of the Board
of Directors.
B.
Number of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by
one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.
C.
Election of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under
specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively.
Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At
each annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the
class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, each director shall
serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of
directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
D.
Removal of Directors. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.
E.
Vacancies. Any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes
and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors
determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by stockholders, be filled only
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors.
Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director
for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.
A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation
of any director. If at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute
less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Delaware Court of Chancery
may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least twenty percent (20%) of the total number of the shares
at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies
or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in offices as aforesaid, which election
shall be governed by Section 211 of the DGCL.
F.
Election of Directors. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.
ARTICLE VI
In furtherance of, and not in limitation
of, the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws or adopt
new Bylaws without any action on the part of the stockholders; provided that any Bylaw adopted or amended by the board of directors,
and any powers thereby conferred, may be amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders.
ARTICLE VII
A director of the Corporation shall not
be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended
after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL as so amended. No amendment to, modification of or repeal of this paragraph shall apply to or have any effect
on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director
occurring prior to such amendment.
ARTICLE VIII
The Corporation shall indemnify its directors
and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article VIII, “executive officers” shall have the meaning defined
in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL
or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual
contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify
any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such
indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors, (iii) such
indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under
the DGCL Law or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under this Article VIII.
The Corporation shall have power to indemnify
its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall
have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person.
The Corporation may advance to any person
who 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 he is or was a director or executive officer of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request
therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to
be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to this
Article VIII, no advance shall be made by the Corporation to an executive officer of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact
that such executive officer is or was a director or executive officer of the Corporation in which event this paragraph shall not
apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably
and promptly made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties
to the proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such
determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person
did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
Any amendment, repeal or modification of
this paragraph shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE IX
A. The Corporation
reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner
now or hereafter prescribed by statute, except as provided in paragraph B of this Article IX, and all rights conferred upon the
stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
B. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or
no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the voting stock required
by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six
and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together
as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X.
ARTICLE X
A. No action shall
be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation, other than holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, except at an annual
or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws.
B. Advance notice of
stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE XI
Unless the Corporation consents in writing
to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum
for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach
of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's
stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation
or the By-laws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said Court
of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein.
ARTICLE XII
Whenever a compromise or arrangement is
proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or
any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of
the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the
Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver
or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or
class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned
in such manner as said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or
class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise
or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, said compromise
or arrangement and said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which said application has been made, be binding on
all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case
may be, and also on the Corporation.
ARTICLE XIII
The Corporation expressly elects not to
be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has
caused this Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by Joe Beyers, its authorized officer this 6th
day of June, 2014.
EON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
EXHIBIT A
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES A-1 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND
SERIES A-2 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF INVENTERGY GLOBAL, INC.
Inventergy Global, Inc.
(the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors
of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation, and pursuant
to Sections 151 and 141 of the DGCL, the Board adopted resolutions (i) designating series of the Corporation's previously authorized
preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, namely, “Series A Preferred Stock”, and (ii) providing for the
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, of five million (5,000,000) shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and one million one hundred seventy-six thousand
seven hundred forty-eight (1,176,748) shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation, as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Corporation
is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”),
par value $0.001 per share, which shall have the powers, designations, preferences and other special rights set forth hereinbelow;
and
RESOLVED, that the Corporation
is authorized to issue 1,176,748 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”),
par value $0.001 per share, which shall have the powers, designations, preferences and other special rights set forth hereinbelow:
1. Designation
and Amount.
(a) Series A-1 Preferred
Stock. The class of preferred stock hereby classified shall be designated the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”. The
initial number of authorized shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be 5,000,000, which shall not be subject to increase
without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock voting together as
a single class and the consent of all Substantial Holders.
(b) Series A-2 Preferred
Stock. The class of preferred stock hereby classified shall be designated the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock.” The
initial number of authorized shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be 1,176,748, which shall not be subject to increase
without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock voting together as
a single class and the consent of all Substantial Holders. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of
$0.001.
2. Ranking.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank prior and superior to all of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation
(“Common Stock”) and, subject to the rights of any Senior Preferred Stock (as defined in Section 4(a) below)
any other capital stock of the Corporation (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) with respect to the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation. Each of the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu with any other Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the
preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation. The
rights of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) shall
be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock.
3. Participation.
From and after the first date of issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”), the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall
be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such
Holders had converted the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including,
without limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined in Section 7(d), if applicable) and had held such shares of Common Stock
on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with
the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and the payment in
full to a Holder of its applicable liquidation preference, other than as set forth in Section 4 below, such Holder shall cease
to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. Subject
to any voting or consent rights contained herein, the Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends on any other shares of
capital stock whether such capital stock is pari-passu (such stock referred to hereinafter as “Pari Passu Stock”)
or junior (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Junior Stock”) unless the holders of Series
A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall simultaneously receive a dividend on a pro rata basis as if the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock had been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7 immediately prior to the record date for determining
the stockholders eligible to receive such dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Holder's right to participate
in any such dividend or distribution pursuant to this Section 3 would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding
the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to
such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution
(and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such dividend or distribution shall be held in abeyance for such
Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding
the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such rights (and any rights under this Section 3 on
such initial rights or on any subsequent such rights to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been
no such limitation.
4. Liquidation
Preference.
(a) Preferential
Payment to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon any Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to be paid out of
the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts
required to be distributed to the holders of any other Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation prior and in preference
to the Series A Preferred Stock (such Preferred Stock being referred to hereinafter as “Senior Preferred Stock”)
upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, but before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock, an amount
in cash equal to a price equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the product of (I) the Stated Value and (II) the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by each Holder and (y) the product of (I) the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the Required Holders (provided that if the Corporation and the Required Holders
are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 7(f))
and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder's Series A Preferred Stock (without regard
to any limitations on conversion, including, without limitation, the Maximum Percentage, if applicable) and (ii) any declared accrued
and unpaid dividends. If upon any such Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for the distribution
to its stockholders after payment in full of amounts required to be paid or distributed to holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall
be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any class of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock,
shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts
which would otherwise be payable in respect to the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with
respect to said shares were paid in full. For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, the term “Stated Value”
shall mean $0.01 per share with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and shall mean $1.6996 per share with respect to the
Series A-2 Preferred Stock, in each case, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,
reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events relating to the Series A Preferred Stock after the
Subscription Date.
(b) Distribution
of Remaining Assets. Upon a Liquidation Event and subject to the rights of any Senior Preferred Stock, after the payment of
all preferential amounts required to be paid to the Holders, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution
to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each
such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms
of the Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation.
5. Fundamental
Transactions.
(a) Assumption.
The Corporation shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing
all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designations and all obligations of Inventergy Inc., the Corporation's
wholly-owned subsidiary, under the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders
and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each Holder of Series
A Preferred Stock in exchange for such Series A Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations including, without limitation, having a stated
value equal to the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder and having similar ranking to the Series A
Preferred Stock, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly
traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any 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 Designations 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 Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation
herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction with a Successor Entity whose stock is publicly traded, such Successor
Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets
or other property) issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage,
if applicable), such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance
with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted
the Series A Preferred Stock in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage, if applicable) immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (provided, however, to the extent that
a Holder's right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would
result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such 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 such Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in such
Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be delivered
such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation). The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally
to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock.
(b) Redemption
Right.
(i) General.
No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, but not prior
to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction, the Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile
and overnight courier to the Holders (a “Fundamental Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period
(the “Fundamental Transaction Period”) beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice
and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, such Holder may,
except solely to the extent expressly prohibited by law, require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of such Holder's
Series A Preferred Stock by delivering (such date of delivery, the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice Date”)
written notice thereof (“Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Corporation, which Fundamental Transaction
Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Series
A Preferred Stock subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Corporation in cash at a price per
share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Stated Value and (y) the product of (I) the fair
market value of one share of Common Stock, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the Required Holders (provided that if
the Corporation and the Required Holders are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall
be resolved pursuant to Section 7(f)) and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion per share of Series
A Preferred Stock being redeemed (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including, without limitation, the Maximum Percentage,
if applicable) and (ii) any declared accrued and unpaid dividends per share of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed (the “Fundamental
Transaction Redemption Price”). Upon the Corporation's receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice(s) from
any Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each other Holder by facsimile of the Corporation's
receipt of such notice(s). The Corporation shall make payment of the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price concurrently with
the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction to all Holders that deliver a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice at least
three Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and within five (5) Trading Days after the Corporation's
receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date”). To the extent redemptions
required by this Section 5(b)(i) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series
A Preferred Stock by the Corporation, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 5(b)(i), until the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is
paid in full, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b)(i) may be converted,
in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of
the Fundamental Transaction, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Corporation's Common
Stock pursuant to Section 7(b)(i). The Holders and the Corporation agree that in the event of the Corporation's redemption of any
Series A Preferred Stock under this Section 5(b)(i), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because
of the parties' inability to predict future dividend rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment
opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(b)(i) is intended by the parties to be,
and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the
event that the Corporation does not pay the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price on the Fundamental Transaction Redemption
Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 5(b)(iii).
(ii) Miscellaneous.
If the Corporation is unable to redeem all of the Series A Preferred Stock submitted for redemption, the Corporation shall (i)
redeem an amount from each Holder equal to such Holder's pro rata amount of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding multiplied
by the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed from all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy such
Holder may have under this Certificate of Designations and the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each Holder interest at the
rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed share of Series A
Preferred Stock until paid in full.
(iii) Void
Redemption. In the event that the Corporation does not pay a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price within the time period
set forth in this Certificate of Designations, at any time thereafter and until the Corporation pays such unpaid applicable Fundamental
Transaction Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Corporation to promptly
return to such Holder any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock that were submitted for redemption by such Holder and for which
the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Corporation
via facsimile (the “Void Redemption Notice”). Upon the Corporation's receipt of such Void Redemption Notice,
(i) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Void Redemption
Notice, (ii) the Corporation shall immediately return any Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Void Redemption Notice, and (iii)
the Conversion Price of such returned Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in
effect on the date on which the Void Redemption Notice is delivered to the Corporation and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price
of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Corporation
and ending on the date on which the Void Redemption Notice is delivered to the Corporation, as applicable, subject to further adjustment
as provided in this Certificate of Designations.
(iv) Disputes.
In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price,
such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 7(f) with the term “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price” being
substituted for the term “Conversion Rate”. A Holder's delivery of a Void Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights
following such notice shall not affect the Corporation's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date
of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) of less than all of the Series A Preferred Stock represented
by a particular Preferred Stock Certificate, the Corporation shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such
Series A Preferred Stock a Preferred Stock Certificate representing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have
not been redeemed, if necessary.
(v) Waiver
of Redemption Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Required Holders explicitly approve
of a Fundamental Transaction in writing, the Required Holders shall be deemed to have waived their right to redeem Series A Preferred
Stock in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. Any such waiver by the Required Holders will apply to all holders of Series
A Preferred Stock.
6. Voting
Rights.
(a) General.
Each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock into which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
Section 8 hereof), at each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or pursuant to any action by written consent) with respect
to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration. Except as provided by
law, by the provisions of Sections 6(b) below or by the provisions establishing any other series of Preferred Stock, holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. On the Effective Date, pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, Robb Knie has been elected as a director of the Corporation (herein referred to as the “Initial
Series A Director”). The Initial Series A Director shall serve for a term of not less than one year from the Effective
Date and until his successor is elected and qualified and may not be removed from the board of directors, except that the Initial
Series A Director may be removed by the majority of the board of directors for Cause. If the Initial Series A Director is removed
for Cause or he voluntarily resigns, a majority of the board of directors may fill the vacancy.
(b) Series
A Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. In addition to any other rights provided by law, for so long as there continues to
exist a Substantial Holder, the Corporation shall not and shall not permit any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Corporation
to, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the Required Holders voting together as a single class:
(i) create,
or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue additional or other capital stock that is Pari Passu Stock or
senior in rank to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon a Liquidation
Event;
(ii) increase
the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock or increase the authorized number of shares of any

or effect the payment of any dividends or distributions on any capital stock of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or the redemption
or repurchase of any capital stock of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or rights to acquire capital stock of the Corporation or

rights upon termination of employment of such employees at purchase prices initially paid by such employees for such shares);
(v) authorize
or effect (a) any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation or any Subsidiary;

or priority over, or being on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the right to receive either dividends or amounts
distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed so to affect adversely the Series
A Preferred Stock); provided, however, that any such amendment, alteration or repeal of the preferences, special
rights or other powers of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or the Series A-2 Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock or the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, will also require the consent of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, voting as a separate class;
or
(viii) take
any other action or agree to take any action that adversely and materially affects the terms or rights of the holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock other than actions in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that any such action
or agreement to take such action that adversely affect the terms or rights of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or
the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, will also require the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series
A-1 Preferred Stock or the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, voting as a separate class.
(c) Actions
Requiring Vote of Initial Series A Director. For so long as the Initial Series A Director remains a director of the Corporation,
but in no event for more than one year following the Effective Date, the Corporation shall not and shall not permit any direct
or indirect Subsidiary of the Corporation to, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the Initial Series
A Director:
(i) enter

of business or under the terms of an employee stock or option plan approved by the Board of Directors;
(xi) any
guarantee of any Indebtedness except for trade accounts of the Corporation or any Subsidiary arising in the ordinary course of

its Subsidiary to incur, or authorize the incurrence of, any Permitted Indebtedness as permitted by Section 6(b)(iii);
(xii) any
investment other than investments in prime commercial paper, money market funds, certificates of deposit in any United States bank

(xviii) during
the 12 month period immediately following the Effective Date, pay aggregate compensation to all officers, directors and employees

7. Conversion.
(a) Optional
Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time or times, at the
option of any Holder as provided in this Section 7. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Series
A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):
Conversion Amount
Conversion Price
No fractional shares
of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock, but rather the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The applicable Conversion
Rate and Conversion Price from time to time in effect is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Mechanics
of Conversion. The conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Holder's
Delivery Requirements. To convert Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion
Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New
York City time, on such date, a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Series
A Preferred Stock subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”)
to the Corporation and if the Corporation has appointed a registered transfer agent, the Corporation's registered transfer agent
(the “Transfer Agent”) (if the Corporation does not have a registered transfer agent, references hereto to the
“Transfer Agent” shall be deemed to be references to the Corporation) and (B) if required by Section 7(b)(iv), surrender
to a common carrier for delivery to the Corporation as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates representing
the Series A Preferred Stock being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 10) (the “Preferred
Stock Certificates”).
(ii) Corporation's
Response. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall (A) as soon as practicable,
but in any event within two (2) Trading Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such
Holder and the Transfer Agent, if applicable, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process
such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (B) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following
the date of receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), (I)(1) provided
the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal
At Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program issue
and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and (II) pay in cash, any declared, accrued and
unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock being converted. If the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented
by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 7(b)(iv), is greater than
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in no
event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the “Preferred Stock Delivery
Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.
(iii) Corporation's
Failure to Timely Convert. The following provisions shall be applicable from and after the Effective Date:
(A) Cash
Damages. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Corporation's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the
Corporation shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Series A Preferred Stock (a
“Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day 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 the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation (a “Buy-In”), then in addition
to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, including any
indemnification provisions therein), then the Corporation 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 out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Corporation's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii)
promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock 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) the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date. 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(B) Void
Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect
to a conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Corporation, with a copy to the Transfer
Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's
Conversion Notice shall not affect the Corporation's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice pursuant to Section 7(b)(iii)(A) or otherwise. Thereafter, the Conversion Price of any Series A Preferred Stock returned
or retained by the Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price relating to
the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the
Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this
Certificate of Designations.
(iv) Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock
to the Corporation unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate
are being converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver such stock certificate to the Corporation promptly following such conversion
or (B) a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting
reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any Series A Preferred Stock. The Holder and the Corporation
shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted and the dates of such conversions
or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender
of the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy,
such records of the Corporation establishing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled
shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series A Preferred Stock
represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series A Preferred
Stock unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation,
whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered
as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented
by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate,
acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock,
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate may be less than the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Series A Preferred Stock shall bear the following legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE
SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 7(b)(iv) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 7(b)(iv) OF THE
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
(c) Automatic
Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock (an “Automatic
Conversion”), based on the then-effective applicable Conversion Price (A) five (5) Trading Days following the affirmative
election of the Required Holders, or (B) provided that there is no Equity Conditions Failure, five (5) Trading Days following (I)
the closing of an underwritten public offering on a firm commitment basis with a nationally recognized underwriter of Common Stock
of the Corporation pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, with an anticipated aggregate offering
price to the public of not less than $20,000,000 (before deduction of underwriters commissions, fees and expenses) at a price per
share that equals or exceeds $1.61 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification
or similar transaction after the Subscription Date), as determined on the applicable date of determination, that results in the
listing of Common Stock of the Corporation on a national securities exchange and (II) the redemption in full of the Notes. Upon
such Automatic Conversion, any declared, accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b)(ii).
Upon the occurrence of either of the events specified in this Section 7(c), all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall
be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing
such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that to the extent that
an Automatic Conversion would result in a Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable,
then such Holder's Series A Preferred Stock shall not be automatically converted into Common Stock (and such Holder's shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and benefit from all preferences and rights set forth in this Certificate of
Designations (except that the provisions set forth in Sections 5(b), 6(b) and 6(c) shall immediately terminate and be of no further
force and effect) to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result
of such Automatic Conversion (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the automatic
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as conversion
of such Series A Preferred Stock would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
at which time or times such Holder shall be issued such shares of Common Stock (and any shares of Common Stock granted or issued
with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock to be held similarly in abeyance)
to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation; provided, further, that the Corporation shall
not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates
evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent as provided below, or the
Holder provides evidence that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed in accordance with Section 10. Upon the occurrence
of such Automatic Conversion of the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing
such shares at the office of the Corporation or any Transfer Agent for the Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and
delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible
on the date on which such Automatic Conversion occurred, and any declared, accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7(b)(ii).
(d) Beneficial
Ownership Limitation on Conversions. The Corporation shall not effect the conversion of any portion of Series A Preferred Stock,
and no Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that after giving effect
to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99%
(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion. The Corporation shall not give effect to any voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, and no Holder shall have
the right to exercise voting rights with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent that giving effect
to such voting rights would result in such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own
in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise, assuming such exercise as being equivalent to conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentences, the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of
Common Stock held by such Holder and all of its other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentences is being made, but shall exclude
shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) convert of the remaining, nonconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible
preferred stock or warrants, including the Series A Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its other Attribution
Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(d). For purposes
of this Section 7(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes
of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (x) the Corporation'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 SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (3) any other written
notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason
at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and
in writing or by electronic mail 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 Series A Preferred Stock, by such Holder and any of its other Attribution Party since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Corporation, any
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 (61st)
day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and
its other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Series A Preferred Stock that is not an Attribution Party. For purposes
of clarity, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock 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
Exchange 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 7(d) 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 7(d) or to make changes
or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
(e) Reservation
of Shares.
(i) The
Corporation shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each Series A Preferred Stock equal to 130%
of the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect to each such Series
A Preferred Stock as of the Issuance Date. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purposes of effecting the conversion of the Series
A Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient
to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial
number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series A Preferred Stock and each increase in the number of shares
so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each
Holder at the time of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be
(the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's
Series A Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock
reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series A
Preferred Stock (other than pursuant to a transfer of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence)
shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock then held by such Holders. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the
then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take
any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally
issue fully-paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted conversion price.
(ii) If
at any time while any of the Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of duly
authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series
A Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share
Failure”), then the Corporation shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Corporation's authorized
shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Corporation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series A
Preferred Stock 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 sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized
Share Failure, the Corporation shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Corporation shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement
and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and
to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
(f) Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall issue to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations
or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice
or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to agree upon the determination of the arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
transmitted to the Holder, then the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Rate to any “big four” international accounting firm. The Corporation shall cause, at
the Corporation's expense (unless such accounting firm determines in favor of the Corporation, in which case the Holder shall be
responsible for such expense), the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and the
Holders of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.
Such accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.
(g) Record
Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(h) Effect
of Conversion. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall
no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices
and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holder thereof to receive shares of Common Stock
in exchange therefor and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared). Subject to Section 7(b)(iii)(B),
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation
may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.
(i) Transfer
Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock shall be
made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificates, provided that the 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 certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the
Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount
of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
8. Anti-Dilution
Provisions. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.
(a) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time after the Subscription
Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.
If the Corporation at any time after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased.
(b) Voluntary
Adjustment By Corporation. The Corporation may at any time reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any
period of time deemed appropriate and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Delaware law and in compliance with
the rules of the Principal Market.
(c) Certain
Fundamental Transactions. If any Fundamental Transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition
of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to acquire and receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock,
which right shall be prior to the rights of the holders of Junior Stock (but after and subject to the rights of holders of Senior
Preferred Stock, if any and pari passu to the rights of holders of Pari Passu Stock, if any), such shares of stock, securities,
cash or other property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale) with
respect to or in exchange for such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as would have been received upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect (provided, however, that to the extent that a
Holder's right to receive securities in any such Fundamental Transaction would result in such Holder and its other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such Holder shall not be entitled to receive such securities in such

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
INVENTERGY GLOBAL, INC.
Inventergy Global, Inc.
(the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors
of the Company by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, the
Board of Directors of the Company adopted resolutions (i) designating a series of the Company's previously authorized preferred
stock, par value $0.001 per share, namely, the “Series B Preferred Stock”, and (ii) providing for the designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
of two thousand seven hundred fifty (2,750) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company
is authorized to issue two thousand seven hundred fifty (2,750) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Preferred Shares”), which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and other
special rights:
(1) Dividends.
Subject to Section 14, the holders of the Preferred Shares (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”),
as a class, shall not be entitled to receive dividends (“Dividends”).
(2) Conversion
of Preferred Shares. On or after the Initial Convertibility Date, Preferred Shares shall be convertible into shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Section 2.
(a) Holder's
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(f), at any time or times on or after the Initial Convertibility Date,
any Holder shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Preferred Shares into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Section 2(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).
(b) Conversion.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Preferred Share pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be determined
according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):
Conversion Amount
Conversion Price
No fractional shares
of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of any Preferred Share, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to
be issued in the aggregate upon any conversion shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
(c) Mechanics
of Conversion. The conversion of Preferred Shares shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Holder's
Delivery Requirements. To convert Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”),
the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on
such date, a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Preferred Shares subject
to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company
and the Company's designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and (B) if required by Section 2(d)(viii),
surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates
representing the Preferred Shares being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 16) (the “Preferred
Stock Certificates”).
(ii) Company's
Response. Upon receipt by the Company of copy of a duly completed Conversion Notice, the Company shall (I) as soon as practicable,
but in any event within one (1) Trading Day, send, via facsimile, a notice of any dispute pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) below or
a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute
an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II) on or before
the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the “Share
Delivery Date”), (1) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Conversion Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement
in favor of the Holder or, if converted at a time when Rule 144 would be available for immediate resale of the Conversion Shares
by such Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or
its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Conversion Shares are not subject to an effective resale
registration statement in favor of such Holder and Rule 144 is not available for immediate resale of the Conversion Shares by such
Holder, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder
or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares
represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 2(c)(vii), is
greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later
than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the “Preferred Stock Delivery Date”)
and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred
Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred
Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(iii) Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Sale Price, Closing Bid Price, Weighted Average
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic
calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice or other date
of determination. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Closing Sale Price, Closing
Bid Price or Weighted Average Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed
determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after
approval of the investment bank or outside accountant by the Required Holders submit via facsimile the disputed determination of
the Closing Sale Price, Closing Bid Price or Weighted Average Price, as applicable, or the disputed arithmetic calculation of the
Conversion Rate to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders or to
the Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at the Company's expense, the investment bank or the accountant,
as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holders of the results no later
than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's
determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
(iv) Record
Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(v) Company's
Failure to Timely Convert.
(A) Cash
Damages. If (x) within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of a duly completed Conversion
Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Conversion Shares are eligible for immediate resale by such Holder, or issue
and deliver a certificate to such Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, in each case for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of
Preferred Shares (subject to the resolution of any bona fide dispute pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) above solely as to any disputed
shares) or (y) within three (3) Trading Days of the Company's receipt of a Preferred Stock Certificate the Company shall fail to
issue and deliver a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii), then in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under
the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof), the Company shall pay additional
damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal
to one and one half percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the
Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice
and the terms of this Certificate of Designations and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date,
in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section
2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Trading Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at
any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately
issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of
the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the
Holder in the Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing, if on the Share Delivery Date the Company shall fail to issue and
deliver a certificate to a Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program,
or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program and the Conversion Shares are eligible for immediate resale by such Holder, in each case for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion or the Company's Conversion, as applicable, of Preferred Shares,
and if on or after such Trading Day 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 the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then 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 out-of-pocket 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 Common Stock) shall terminate,
or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock 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) the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue
any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(B) Void
Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect
to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may
void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have not
been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice shall not
affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A)
or otherwise.
(C) Conversion
Failure. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior
to the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, subject
to the resolution of any bona fide dispute pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) above, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company,
may require that the Company redeem all Preferred Shares held by such Holder, including the Preferred Shares previously submitted
for conversion and with respect to which the Company has not delivered shares of Common Stock, in accordance with Section 3.
(vi) Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion
Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing
to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Holder's Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based
on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the number of Preferred Shares
submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder
in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 2(c)(iii).
(vii) Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company
unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) a Holder
has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance
of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon
each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred
Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate
representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares
to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like
tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented
by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate,
acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number
of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof.
Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE
SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(c)(vii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS
THAN THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(c)(vii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
(d) Adjustments
to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(d).
(i) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or
sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(d)(i) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance
or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities) for
a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”)
equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (a “Dilutive Issuance”),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New
Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 2(d)(i), the following shall be applicable:
(A) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then each such share of Common Stock underlying such Option
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option
for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(d)(i)(A), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of
the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any
consideration paid or payable by the Company to the Holder thereof with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the granting
or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable
upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share
of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common
Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(B) Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable
Price, then each such share of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.
For the purposes of this Section 2(d)(i)(B), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security
and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Company
to the Holder thereof with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made
upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities,
and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion
Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(d)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(C) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible
Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect
at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the
case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(d)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option
or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. For clarity, adjustments to the purchase price
or exercise price of Options already provided for in the terms of such outstanding Options or adjustments to the rate at which
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock already provided for in the terms of
such outstanding Convertible Securities (or assumed by the Company in the Reverse Merger) shall not result in the deemed issuance
of Common Stock as of the date of such adjustment, if any. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase
of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(D) Calculation
of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value and (y)
the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I)
the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms
of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received or receivable therefor will be deemed
to be the gross purchase price paid by the purchaser therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued
or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of
such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value
of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders.
If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation
Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th)
day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders.
The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses
of such appraiser shall be borne by the party whose calculation is farther from the determination or calculation of the appraiser.
(E) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares
of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(ii) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Company at any time after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split, including, without limitation, the
Reverse Split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(iii) Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(d) 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 Conversion Price so as
to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 2(d).
(iv) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company. Subject to compliance with any applicable listing rules of the Principal Market, the Company may at
any time reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
(e) Notices.
(i) Immediately
upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2(d), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder,
setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2(c)(iii).
(ii) The
Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its
books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata
subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction
or Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice
being provided to such Holder.
(iii) The
Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental
Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or
in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
(f) Automatic
Conversion. On and after the Initial Convertibility Date, each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into
shares of Common Stock (an “Automatic Conversion”), based on the then-effective applicable Conversion Price
(A) five (5) Trading Days following the affirmative election of the Required Holders, or (B) provided that there is no Equity Conditions
Failure, five (5) Trading Days following (I) the closing of an underwritten public offering on a firm commitment basis with a nationally
recognized underwriter of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
with an anticipated aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $20,000,000 (before deduction of underwriters commissions,
fees and expenses) at a price per share that equals or exceeds $1.61 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction after the Subscription Date), as determined on the applicable
date of determination, that results in the listing of Common Stock of the Company on a national securities exchange and (II) the
redemption in full of those certain senior secured notes issued by Inventergy, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on May 10, 2013. Upon
the occurrence of either of the events specified in this Section 2(f), all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be
converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing
such shares are surrendered to the Company or the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that to the extent that an Automatic
Conversion would result in a Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage (as defined in Section 9(a)),
if applicable, then such Holder's Series B Preferred Stock shall not be automatically converted into Common Stock (and such Holder's
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and benefit from all preferences and rights set forth in this Certificate
of Designations (except that the provisions set forth in Sections 4 and 12 shall immediately terminate and be of no further force
and effect) to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such
Automatic Conversion (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the automatic conversion
of Series B Preferred Stock to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times as conversion of
such Series B Preferred Stock would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
at which time or times such Holder shall be issued such shares of Common Stock (and any shares of Common Stock granted or issued
with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock to be held similarly in abeyance)
to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation; provided, further, that the Company shall not
be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates
evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Company or the Transfer Agent as provided below, or the Holder
provides evidence that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed in accordance with Section 16. Upon the occurrence
of such Automatic Conversion of the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing
such shares at the office of the Company or any Transfer Agent for the Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered
to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible
on the date on which such Automatic Conversion occurred.
(3) Redemption
at Option of Holders.
(a) Holder
Optional Redemption. In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, in the event (i) the Company has not
entered into definitive documentation on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders providing for the consummation
of the Reverse Merger on or before the date that is two (2) months after the Issuance Date, (ii) the Company amends the definitive
documentation with respect to the Reverse Merger without the consent of the Required Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, (iii) the Reverse Merger has not been consummated in accordance with the definitive documentation with respect to the
Reverse Merger by the date that is six (6) months following the Issuance Date, (iv) the Reverse Split has not occurred by the date
that is five (5) months following the Issuance Date or (v) the Company has not obtained the approval of its stockholders as required
by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap by the date that is
five (5) months following the Issuance Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option (each, a “Holder
Optional Redemption Triggering Event”), to require the Company to redeem (a “Holder Optional Redemption”)
all or a portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to 100% of the Conversion Amount (the “Holder
Optional Redemption Triggering Event Redemption Price”).
(b) Mechanics
of Redemption at Option of Buyer. Within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of any Holder Optional Redemption Triggering
Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Holder Optional
Redemption Triggering Event”) to each Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Holder
Optional Redemption Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Holder Optional Redemption Triggering Event, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days after such Holder's receipt of a Notice of Holder Optional Redemption Triggering Event, any Holder
of Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder”) to the
Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing
to redeem.
(c) Payment
of Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Holder from any Holder, the Company
shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each other Holder by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notice(s).
The Company shall deliver on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption
at Option of Holder (the “Holder Optional Redemption Triggering Event Redemption Date”) by wire transfer
of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Triggering Event Redemption
Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after
the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder, to the extent not paid by means of the Holder drawing
on its Letter of Credit (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 3
are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions
shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption,
the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by
such Holder relative to the total number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by all Holders. The Holders and Company agree
that in the event of the Company's redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 3, the Holders' damages would be uncertain
and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability
of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3 is
intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders' actual loss of its investment opportunity
and not as a penalty.
(4) Change
of Control. No sooner than thirty (30) days nor later than five (5) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control or
a Non-Public Fundamental Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control or Non-Public Fundamental
Transaction, as applicable, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders
(a “Change of Control Notice”) setting forth a description of such transaction in reasonable detail and
the anticipated Change of Control Redemption Date if then known. At any time during the period (the “Change of Control
Period”) beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20)
Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control or Non-Public Fundamental Transaction, as applicable, such Holder
may require the Company to redeem (a “Change of Control Redemption”) all or any portion of such Holder's Preferred
Shares by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change
of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject
to redemption pursuant to this Section 4 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 125% of
the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the quotient determined
by dividing (1) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the period commencing as of the Trading Day immediately
prior to the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control or Non-Public Fundamental Transaction, as applicable, and ending
as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control or Non-Public Fundamental Transaction, as
applicable, by (2) the Conversion Price (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). The Company shall make payment
of the Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control or Non-Public Fundamental
Transaction, as applicable, if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change
of Control or Non-Public Fundamental Transaction, as applicable, and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of
such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”), to the extent not paid by means of the Holder
drawing on its Letter of Credit. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4 are deemed or determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest
thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4 may be converted, in whole or in
part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of
Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
Section 2(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred Shares under
this Section 4, the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict
future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly,
any redemption premium due under this Section 4 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of
the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change
of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption
pursuant to Section 5(a).
(5) Redemptions.
(a) Void
Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price within the applicable time period and the applicable
Letter of Credit is not drawn, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full
(whether by payment by the Company or such Holder being paid by means of such Holder drawing on its Letter of Credit, or a combination
thereof) a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or
all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder and for which the applicable Redemption Price has
not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Optional Redemption Notice”).
Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Redemption Notice of Holder shall be null and void
with respect to those Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice and (ii) the Company shall immediately return
any Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice.
(b) Disputes;
Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of any Redemption Price, such
dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) above with the term “Redemption Price” being substituted for
the term “Conversion Rate”. A Holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following
such notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice.
In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Certificate of Designations of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented
by a particular Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such
Preferred Shares a Preferred Stock Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.
(6) Company
Optional Redemption. In the event of any Holder Optional Redemption Triggering Event and after thirty (30) days have elapsed
since such Holder Optional Redemption Triggering Event (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”), the Company
may redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Preferred Shares (a “Company Optional Redemption”)
at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to each Holder (the “Company Optional Redemption Deadline”).
Such Preferred Shares shall be redeemed by providing written notice via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (the “Notice
of Company Redemption”) on or prior to the Company Optional Redemption Deadline and shall be redeemed at a redemption
price equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares. The Company shall deliver to Holders owning outstanding Preferred Shares
to be redeemed by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount in cash equal to the Stated Value of the
Preferred Shares being redeemed no later than five (5) days after providing the Notice of Company Redemption. If the Company elects
to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to this Section 6(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same
proportion with respect to all the outstanding Preferred Shares.
(7) Other
Rights of Holders.
(a) Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction (other than the Reverse Merger) unless the Successor
Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction
Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 pursuant to written
agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each Holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred
Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this
Certificate of Designations including, without limitation, having a stated value equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares
held by such Holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon
the occurrence of any 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 Designations referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction with a Successor Entity whose stock is publicly traded,
such Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities,
cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage), such
shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions
of this Certificate of Designations, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted the Preferred
Shares in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction (provided, however, to the extent that a Holder's right to receive any such
shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would result in such Holder and its other
Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such 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 such Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had
been no such limitation). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Holders. 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, if so elected by a Holder on or
prior to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event, such Holder will have the right to receive upon surrender of such
Holder's Preferred Shares upon the occurrence or consummation of the Corporate Event, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or
other securities, cash, assets or other property) such Holder is entitled to receive upon the conversion of such Holder's Preferred
Shares prior to such Corporate Event (but not in lieu of such items still issuable under Sections 7(b) and 14, which shall continue
to be receivable on the Common Stock or on 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 such Holder's Preferred Shares been converted 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 conversion, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) (provided, however,
to the extent that a Holder's right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor
Entity would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such
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 such Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not
result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall
be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly
and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of
Preferred Shares.
(b) Purchase
Rights. 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 Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights
which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion
of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares)
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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that a Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase
Right would result in such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then such
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 such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in
such Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such 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 to
be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(8) Reservation
of Shares.
(a) The
Company shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each of the Preferred Shares equal to 130% of
the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate (without regard to any limitations
or restrictions herein on any such conversion) with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Preferred Share as of the Issuance
Date. The Company shall, so long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversions of the Preferred
Shares, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred
Shares then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than 130% of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which the Preferred Shares are at any time convertible (without regard to any limitations
or restrictions on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata
among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or
increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event
a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and
allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares (other than pursuant to a transfer of Preferred Shares in accordance
with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the
number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.
(b) If
at any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain 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 conversion of the Preferred Shares at
least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”),
then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an
amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Preferred Shares 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
hold a meeting of its stockholders 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 stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts
to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors
to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at such time of an Authorized
Share Failure, the Company is able, consistent with its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as then in effect, 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.
(9) Limitations
on Conversion.
(a) Beneficial
Ownership Limitation on Conversions. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of the Preferred Shares, and
no Holder shall have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Shares, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion,
the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person's Affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of Preferred
Shares or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”)
of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentences,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all of its other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentences is being made,
but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares
beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or 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, including the Preferred Shares) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its other Attribution
Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section. For purposes of
this Section 9(a), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes
of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares
without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (1) 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 SEC, as the case may be, (2) 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. For any reason at any
time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing
or by electronic mail 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 Company, including
the Preferred Shares, by such Holder and any of its other Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock was reported. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, any 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 (61st) day after such notice is delivered
to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and its other Attribution Parties and not
to any other holder of Preferred Shares that is not an Attribution Party. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock underlying
the Preferred Shares 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 Exchange Act. Holder providing such written notice and not to
any 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 9(a) 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 9(a) or to make changes
or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
(b) Principal
Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Preferred Shares,
and the Holders of Preferred Shares shall not have the right to receive upon conversion of Preferred Shares (x) any shares of Common
Stock or (y) any compensatory payments solely in respect of the Company's failure to obtain Stockholder Approval (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement), if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of Preferred Shares or otherwise without breaching the Company's obligations
under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, whether or not the Common Stock is listed on the Principal Market (the
“Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval
of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such
amount. Until such approval is obtained, no Holder of Preferred Shares shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or payment,
as applicable, of Preferred Shares, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Preferred Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement on the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number
of all Preferred Shares issued to the Holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to
each such Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer
any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation,
and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation
allocated to such transferee. In the event that any Holder shall convert all of such Holder's Preferred Shares into a number of
shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between
such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated
to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the
shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares then held by each such Holder.
(10) Voting
Rights. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such Holder's Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, but in lieu of
using the Conversion Price in effect as of the record date, such votes shall calculated based on the higher of (i) the initial
Conversion Price of $1.07 per share and (ii) the Closing Bid Price on the Closing Date (the “Number of Preferred Share
Votes”); provided that if the Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Number of Preferred
Share Votes in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately increased and if the Company at any time after
the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split, including, without limitation, the Reverse Split, or otherwise)
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Number of Preferred Share Votes in effect immediately
prior to such combination will be proportionately decreased. Each Holder shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to
the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock, subject to Section 9(b) hereof and except that such Holder shall have no right
to vote the Preferred Shares to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap. Each Holder shall
be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders' meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance
with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu
of a meeting, and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock as if they were a single class of securities upon any
matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a class
vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.
(11) Liquidation.
In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether
from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before
any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the Capital Stock of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Preferred
Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company,
an amount per Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the
full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company that are of equal
rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as the
“Pari Passu Stock”), if any, then each Holder and each holder of any such Pari Passu Shares shall receive a
percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference,
in accordance with their respective Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the full amount of
Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. After the foregoing distributions, the Holders
shall be entitled, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Stock and treating for the purpose thereof all of the
Preferred Shares as having been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 2, to participate in the distribution of any remaining
assets of the Company to the holders of the outstanding Common Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions
to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event
to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under
this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution
of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of, shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company
junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The purchase or
redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded
as a Liquidation Event.
(12) Covenants.
(a) Prior
to the consummation or termination of the Reverse Merger and except as permitted under the terms of the definitive documentation
providing for the consummation of the Reverse Merger, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than trade payables incurred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice.
(b) Prior
to the consummation or termination of the Reverse Merger and except as permitted under the terms of the definitive documentation
providing for the consummation of the Reverse Merger, the Company shall not enter into, or be a party to, a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Prior
to the consummation or termination of the Reverse Merger and except as permitted under the terms of the definitive documentation
providing for the consummation of the Reverse Merger, the Company shall not (i) grant, issue or sell any Purchase Rights, (ii)
declare or make any Distribution (other than the Initial Dividend) or (iii) repay any outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries (other than the repayment of the Outstanding Notes), and in cases of clause (ii) and (iii) only in compliance
with Section 12(e).
(d) Prior
to the consummation of the Reverse Merger and except pursuant to definitive documentation on terms and conditions acceptable to
the Required Holders providing for the consummation of the Reverse Merger, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer,
sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries' equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt,
preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) be party to any solicitations, negotiations
or discussions with regard to the foregoing.
(e) The
aggregate amount of the Initial Dividend and any payments to the holders of the Outstanding Notes being paid with proceeds received
from the Holders in respect of the Company's issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares, shall not exceed $2,000,000.
(f) The
Company shall distribute the Initial Dividend and make the payment to the holders of the Outstanding Notes, subject to the limitation
set forth in Section 12(e) above, contemporaneously with the consummation of the Reverse Merger.
(13) Ranking.
All shares of Common Stock shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions
and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the shares of Common Stock shall be
subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares. Without the prior express written consent of the Required
Holders, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other Capital Stock that is of senior or pari-passu
rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event. The Company
shall be permitted to issue preferred stock that is junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to
dividends and other distributions, amortization and redemption payments and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding
up of the Company. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares
shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein and no merger shall result inconsistent
therewith.
(14) Participation.
Except for the Initial Dividend as to which the Holders shall have no right, the Holders shall, as holders of Preferred Stock,
be entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders
had converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion, including, without limitation,
the Maximum Percentage (as defined in Section 9(a), if applicable) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date
for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution
to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable
liquidation preference, other than as set forth in Section 11, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate
in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. Subject to any voting or consent rights contained
herein, except for the Initial Dividend, the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends on any other shares of Capital Stock
whether such Capital Stock is Pari Passu Stock or junior (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Junior
Stock”) unless the holders of Preferred Shares then outstanding shall simultaneously receive a dividend on a pro rata
basis as if the Preferred Shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 immediately prior to the
record date for determining the stockholders eligible to receive such dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that

of the stockholders of the corporation shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated
from time to time by the Board of Directors, or, if not so designated, then at the office of the corporation required to be maintained
pursuant to Section 2 hereof; provided that the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall
not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication. If authorized by the Board of Directors
in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxy
holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication (i) participate in a meeting
of stockholders; and (ii) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held
at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (A) the corporation shall implement reasonable
measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at a meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder
or proxy holder, (B) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable
opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read
or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder
votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained
by the corporation.
SECTION 5. ANNUAL MEETINGS.
(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may lawfully come before it, shall
be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons
for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may
be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders; (ii) by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record
at the time of giving of notice provided for in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 5 and on the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 5.
(b) In addition to any other applicable
requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder or the proposal of business by a stockholder to be considered by the
stockholders, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.
Such notice must be made either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the corporation,
not later than 90 days nor earlier than the 120th day prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting;
provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is scheduled to
be held on a date more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice
by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the later of the close of business ninety (90) days
prior to the annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual
meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, which may include any public filing by
the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, of the date of the annual meeting. For nominations by a stockholder
to be properly brought before a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, the stockholder must
have given written notice thereof, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, not later than the close
of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting is first
made by the corporation. Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining whether a stockholder’s notice shall have
been received in a timely manner for the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must have
been received not later than the close of business on October 19, 2014. The public announcement of an adjournment of an annual
or special meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section
5.
(c) With respect to a nomination, to be
in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth (i) the name and address of the stockholder
who intends to make the nomination and of each person to be nominated; (ii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of
record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting
to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice as directors; (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital
stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the nomination is made (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each proposed
nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to
be made by the stockholder; (v) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required
to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission were such nominee
to be nominated by the Board of Directors; and (vi) consent of each proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation
if so elected. In addition to the provisions of this Section 5, a stockholder shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder with
respect to the matters set forth herein.
(d) With respect to any business (other
than nominations), to be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter
the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting
and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions
proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either the Certificate of Incorporation
or Bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment, and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual
meeting; (ii) the name and address of the stockholder proposing such business and the name and record address of the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation
that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made; (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including
their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of any stockholder
in such business; and (v) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote
at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business. In addition to the provisions
of this Section 5, a stockholder shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein.
(e) If the Board of Directors or the chairman
of the meeting of stockholders determines that any nomination or proposed business was not made in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 5, then such nomination or proposed business shall not be considered at the meeting in question. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, if the stockholder does not appear at the meeting of stockholders of the corporation
to present the nomination or proposed business, as applicable, such nomination or business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding
that proxies in respect of such nomination or business may have been received by the corporation.
(f) For purposes of this Section 5,
“public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press
or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
SECTION 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS.
(a) Special meetings of the stockholders
of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) the
Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number
of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution
is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption).
(b) Nominations of persons for election
to the Board of Directors or business proposed to be transacted at the special meeting (other than nominations or business proposed
by the Board of Directors) shall comply with the requirements of Section 5.
SECTION 7. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Except as
otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, written notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not
less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote
at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if
any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special
meeting, the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived
in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder
by his attendance thereat, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning
of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving
notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been
given.
SECTION 8. QUORUM. At all meetings of stockholders,
except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person
or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to
time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other
business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum
is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave
less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other
than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute,
the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a
class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and, except where otherwise provided
by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the
case of the election of directors) of the votes cast by the holders of shares of such class or classes or series shall be the act
of such class or classes or series.
SECTION 9. ADJOURNMENT AND NOTICE OF ADJOURNED
MEETINGS. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of
the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares casting votes. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice
need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any,
by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced
at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might
have been transacted at the original meeting. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record
date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record
date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination
of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the Bylaws. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if
after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
SECTION 10. VOTING RIGHTS. For the purpose
of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only
persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12
of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to
do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed
need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides
for a longer period.
SECTION 11. JOINT OWNERS OF STOCK. If shares
or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members
of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have
the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is
furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their
acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if
more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote
is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the
Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law, Section 217(b). If the instrument
filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of
subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.
SECTION 12. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The Secretary
shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled
to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered
in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the
meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (i) on a reasonably
accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of
the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the
corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure
that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list
of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole
time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication,
then such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible
electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
SECTION 13. NO ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.
No action required to be taken or which
may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power
of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied; provided, however,
that the holders of any class of outstanding preferred stock shall be entitled to take action without a meeting and to consent
in writing with respect to matters affecting only such class or any series of such class of preferred stock.
SECTION 14. ORGANIZATION.
(a) At every meeting of stockholders, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the President, or, if the President
is absent, a chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or
by proxy, shall act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the President,
shall act as secretary of the meeting.
(b) The Board of Directors of the corporation
shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate
or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have
the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such
chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing
an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those
present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and
constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed
for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening
and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the
Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with
rules of parliamentary procedure.
ARTICLE IV
DIRECTORS
SECTION 15. NUMBER AND TERM OF OFFICE.
The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Directors need
not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors shall not have been
elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient.
SECTION 16. POWERS. The powers of the corporation
shall be exercised, its business conducted and its property controlled by the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise provided
by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.
SECTION 17. CLASSES OF DIRECTORS. Subject
to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the
directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Directors shall be assigned
to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. Giving effect to shorter terms
in the event of reassignment of directors among the three classes, at each annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall each
be elected for a term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until
his death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.
SECTION 18. VACANCIES.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate
of Incorporation, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other
causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors
determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by stockholders, be filled only
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors.
Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director
for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.
A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation
of any director.
(b) If at the time of filling any vacancy
or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted
immediately prior to any such increase), the Delaware Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders
holding at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for
such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace
the directors chosen by the directors then in offices as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by Section 211 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
SECTION 19. RESIGNATION. Any director may
resign at any time by delivering his written resignation to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective
at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made,
it shall be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more directors shall resign from the Board
of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall
have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become
effective, and each Director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the Director whose place shall
be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
SECTION 20. REMOVAL.
(a) Neither the Board of Directors nor
any individual director may be removed without cause.
(b) Subject to any limitation imposed by
law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of
the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.
SECTION 21. MEETINGS.
(a) ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meeting
of the Board of Directors shall be held as soon as practicable after the annual meeting of stockholders at a time and place designated
in advance thereof by the Board of Directors. No notice of an annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be necessary and such
meeting shall be held for the purpose of electing officers and transacting such other business as may lawfully come before it.
(b) REGULAR MEETINGS. Unless otherwise
restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time or date and
at any place within or without the State of Delaware which has been designated by the Board of Directors and publicized among all
directors. No formal notice shall be required for regular meetings of the Board of Directors.
(c) SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise
restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time and place within
or without the State of Delaware whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any two of the directors.
(d) TELEPHONE MEETINGS. Any member of the
Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such
means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
(e) NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notice of the time
and place of all special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice messaging
system or other system or technology designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic
mail or other electronic means, during normal business hours, at least twenty- four (24) hours before the date and time of
the meeting, or sent in writing to each director by first class mail, charges prepaid, at least three (3) days before the
date of the meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived
by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
(f) WAIVER OF NOTICE. The transaction of
all business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, however called or noticed, or wherever held, shall
be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present and if, either before or
after the meeting, each of the directors not present shall sign a written waiver of notice. All such waivers shall be filed with
the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice

and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special meeting of any committee may be waived in writing
at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends
such special meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A majority of the authorized number of members of any such committee shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum

or other depositaries on funds to the credit of the corporation or in special accounts of the corporation shall be signed by such

ARTICLE VII
SHARES OF STOCK
SECTION 34. FORM AND EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES.
The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates or shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock
of the corporation, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Each
such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President
or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the number
of shares owned by him in the corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer,
transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to
be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he
were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Each certificate shall state upon the face or back thereof,
in full or in summary, all of the powers, designations, preferences, and rights, and the limitations or restrictions of the shares
authorized to be issued or shall, except as otherwise required by law, set forth on the face or back a statement that the corporation
will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional, or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the corporation
shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates
pursuant to this section or otherwise required by law or with respect to this section a statement that the corporation will furnish
without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or
other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences
and/or rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing
stock of the same class and series shall be identical.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in these Bylaws, at all times that the corporation’s stock is listed on a stock exchange, such shares shall comply with all
direct registration system eligibility requirements established by such exchange, including any requirement that shares of the
corporation’s stock be eligible for issue in book-entry form. All issuances and transfers of shares of the corporation’s
stock shall be entered on the books of the corporation with all information necessary to comply with such direct registration system
eligibility requirements, including the name and address of the person to whom the shares are issued, the number of shares issued
and the date of issue. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem
necessary or proper concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the corporation in both the certificated
and uncertificated form.
SECTION 35. LOST CERTIFICATES. A new certificate
or certificates (or a record in uncertificated form) shall be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued
by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the
issuance of a new certificate or certificates, or an uncertificated issuance, the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate
or certificates, or his legal representative, to agree to indemnify the corporation in such manner as it shall require or to give
the corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.
SECTION 36. TRANSFERS.
(a) Stock of the corporation shall be transferable
in the manner prescribed by law and in these Bylaws. Except as otherwise established by rules and regulations adopted by the Board
of Directors, and subject to applicable law, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of the corporation, if such shares
are certificated, upon surrender to the corporation’s transfer agent or registrar of the corporation’s share certificates,
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, or upon proper instructions from the
holder of uncertificated shares, in each case with such proof of authority or the authenticity of signature as the corporation
or its transfer agent may reasonably require.
(b) The corporation shall have power to
enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to
restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner
not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
SECTION 37. FIXING RECORD DATES.
(a) In order that the corporation may determine
the stockholders entitled to notice of at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix,
in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted
by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, subject to applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than
ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record
date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it
fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.
If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given,
or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination
of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
(b) In order that the corporation may determine
the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action.
If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business
on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
SECTION 38. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The
corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive
dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share
or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided
by the laws of Delaware.

by the Board of Directors, and the corporate seal impressed thereon or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested
by the signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer;
provided, however, that where any such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual signature,
or where permissible facsimile signature, of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate
security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other
corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such
bond, debenture or other corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer of the corporation or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the
facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate
security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest coupon, shall have ceased to be such officer
before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture or
other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed
the same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the corporation.
ARTICLE IX
DIVIDENDS
SECTION 40. DECLARATION OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends
upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law, if

in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law.

of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board
of Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for
equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of
Directors shall think conducive to the interests of the corporation, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such
reserve in the manner in which it was created.

SECTION 42. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 43. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, OTHER OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS.
(a) DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. The
corporation shall indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article XI, “executive officers”
shall have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware
General Corporation Law or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification
by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required
to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless
(i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of
Directors, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested
in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is
required to be made under Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation.
(b) OTHER OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER
AGENTS. The corporation shall have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware
General Corporation Law or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination
of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person.
(c) EXPENSES. The corporation may advance
to any person who 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 he is or was a director or executive
officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly
following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified under Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation, no advance shall be made by
the corporation to an executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was
a director or executive officer of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Board
of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) if such
quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly
and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation.
(d) ENFORCEMENT. Without the necessity
of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this
Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between
the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a director
or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction
if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim
is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in
part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification,
the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct
that make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify
the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director
or executive officer of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action
clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification
of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware
General Corporation Law or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense
to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director
or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that
the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI
or otherwise shall be on the corporation.
(e) NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights
conferred on any person by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of
its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or by any other applicable law.
(f) SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred
on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Any amendment, repeal or modification of
this paragraph shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
(g) INSURANCE. To the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors,
may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.
(h) AMENDMENTS. Any repeal or modification
of this Bylaw shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence
of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.
(i) SAVING CLAUSE. If this Bylaw or any
portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless
indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall
not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 43 shall be invalid due to the application of the
indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to
the full to the full extent under any other applicable law.
(j) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For the purposes
of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) The term “proceeding”
shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement,
arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.
(ii) The term “expenses”
shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts
paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.
(iii) The term the “corporation”
shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify
its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the
provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(iv) References to a “director,”
“executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall
include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director,
executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
(v) References to “other
enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed
on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation”
shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services
by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and
a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation”
as referred to in this Bylaw.

or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall
in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.
(d) TIME NOTICES DEEMED GIVEN. All notices
given by mail or by overnight delivery service, as above provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing,
and all notices given by facsimile, telex or telegram shall be deemed to have been given as of the sending time recorded at time
of transmission.
(e) METHODS OF NOTICE. It shall not be
necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all directors, but one permissible method may be employed
in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.
(f) FAILURE TO RECEIVE NOTICE. The period
or limitation of time within which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any privilege or benefit, or be required
to act, or within which any director may exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege, pursuant to any notice sent him in
the manner above provided, shall not be affected or extended in any manner by the failure of such stockholder or such director
to receive such notice.
(g) NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION
IS UNLAWFUL. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required
and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such
person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful
shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation
is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate
shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except
such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
(h) NOTICE TO PERSON WITH UNDELIVERABLE
ADDRESS. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
corporation, to any stockholder to whom (i) notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the
taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings,
or (ii) all, and at least two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month
period, have been mailed addressed to such person at his address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned
undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held
without notice to such person shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person shall
deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such
person shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate
under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons
to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to this paragraph.
ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENTS
SECTION 45. AMENDMENTS. Subject to paragraph
(h) of Section 43 of the Bylaws, the Bylaws may be altered or amended or new Bylaws adopted by the affirmative vote of

of the corporation entitled to vote. The Board of Directors shall also have the power to adopt, amend, or repeal Bylaws.

June 6, 2014 made by each of the undersigned (each a "Guarantor", and collectively, the "Guarantors"),
in favor of each "Buyer" (as defined below) party to the Notes referenced below.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, the Parent issued to the Buyers, as defined below, Amended and Restated Notes and New Notes in exchange for
the Amended and Restated Notes and New Notes of the Company’s subsidiary, Inventergy, Inc., which were originally issued
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 23 , 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "SPA"), by and among Inventergy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
and the investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto (together with their respective assignees and transferees,
each a "Buyer" and collectively, the "Buyers"), the Company issued notes (as amended, restated
or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Notes") to the Buyers;
WHEREAS, pursuant to
a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as May 10, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the "Security Agreement"), the Company has granted to Hudson Bay IP Opportunities Master Fund LP (in such capacity,
the "Collateral Agent"), for the benefit of the Buyers, a security interest in and lien on its assets to secure
their respective obligations under the SPA, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents;
WHEREAS, pursuant to
an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December 17, 2013 as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated March
20, 2014 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Parent Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Parent") and Inventergy Merger Sub, Inc., effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement),
the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent;
WHEREAS, as a condition
to the Buyers' consent to the Company's execution of the Merger Agreement, the Buyers have requested, and the Company and the Guarantors
have agreed, that the Company and the other Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Buyers (i) a guaranty guaranteeing all
of the obligations of the Parent under the SPA, the Notes and the other "Transaction Documents" (as defined in the SPA,
and as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Transaction Documents") as assumed by the
Parent at the Effective Time and (ii) a supplement to the Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Guarantors shall grant to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Buyers, a security interest in and lien on their assets to secure their respective obligations
under this Guaranty;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor
has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty directly benefits, and is in the best interest of,
such Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the agreements herein and for other consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor
hereby agrees with the Buyers as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions.
Reference is hereby made to the SPA and the Notes for a statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Guaranty, which
are defined in the SPA or the Notes and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein.
SECTION 2. Guaranty.
The Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, guaranty (a) the punctual payment, as and when due
and payable, by stated maturity or otherwise, of all monetary obligations and any other amounts now or hereafter owing by the Parent
in respect of it in respect of the SPA, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all interest
that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding commenced by or against the Company or any Guarantor under any provision
of the Bankruptcy Code (Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code) or under any other bankruptcy or insolvency law,
assignments for the benefit of creditors, formal or informal moratoria, compositions, or extensions generally with creditors, or
proceedings seeking reorganization, arrangement, or other similar relief (an "Insolvency Proceeding"), whether
or not the payment of such interest is unenforceable or is not allowable due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding, and
all fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under any of the Transaction
Documents, and any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) reasonably incurred by the Buyers in enforcing
any rights under this Guaranty (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Parent, being the "Guaranteed Obligations")
and (b) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance and fulfillment by the Parent of all of the agreements, conditions,
covenants and obligations of the Parent contained in the SPA, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent each
Guarantor can legally perform such actions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor's liability hereunder
shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Parent to the Buyers under
the SPA and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding
involving any Guarantor or the Parent (each, a "Transaction Party").
SECTION 3. Guaranty
Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
(a) The Guarantors,
jointly and severally, guaranty that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms
or the rights of the Buyers with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce such obligations,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party is joined in any such
action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective
of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or hereafter have in
any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in
the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or otherwise;
(iii) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any taking, release
or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(iv) any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Transaction
Party.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by the Buyers or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
(b) This Guaranty
is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all obligations
under the Notes (together with any matured indemnification obligations as of the date of such payment, but excluding any inchoate
or unmatured contingent indemnification obligations) and payment of all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (excluding any
inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors
and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Buyers and its respective successors, and permitted
pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each Buyer may pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of any Transaction Document
to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such
Buyer herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the SPA or such other Transaction Document.
SECTION 4. Waivers.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Collateral Agent or the
Buyers exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral (as defined in
the Security Agreement). Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
The Guarantors hereby waive any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledge that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies
to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
SECTION 5. Subrogation.
No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate
in any claim or remedy of the Buyers against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral (as defined in the
Security Agreement), whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including,
without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in
cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right,
unless and until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all obligations under the Notes (together with any matured indemnification
obligations as of the date of such payment, but excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification obligations) and
payment of all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification obligations).
If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of
the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall
be held in trust for the benefit of the Buyers and shall forthwith be paid to the Buyers to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty
thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Buyers of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
and (b) the Buyers receive the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all obligations under the Notes (together with any
matured indemnification obligations as of the date of such payment, but excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification
obligations) and payment of all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification
obligations), the Buyers will, at such Guarantor's request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of
an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.
SECTION 6. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants.
(a) Each Guarantor
hereby represents and warrants as of the date first written above as follows:

to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (C) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business
makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

execution, delivery and performance by each Guarantor of this Guaranty and each other Transaction Document to which such Guarantor
is a party (A) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action, (B)

upon or with respect to any of its properties, and (C) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation,
impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to it or its operations
or any of its properties.
(iii) No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection
with the due execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty or any of the other Transaction Documents to

(iv) Each
of this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is or will be a party, when delivered, will be, a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be

adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, other than as disclosed in a Schedule to
the Merger Agreement, or (B) relates to this Guaranty or any of the other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is
a party or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.
(vi) The
Guarantor (A) has read and understands the terms and conditions of the SPA, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, and
(B) now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition
and business of the Parent and the other Transaction Parties, and has no need of, or right to obtain from the Buyers, any credit
or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Parent or the other Transaction Parties that
may come under the control of the Buyers.
(b) The Guarantor
covenants and agrees that until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all obligations under the Notes (together with any
matured indemnification obligations as of the date of such payment, but excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification
obligations) and payment of all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (excluding any inchoate or unmatured contingent indemnification
obligations), it will comply with each of the covenants which are set forth in subsections (j) and (l) of Section 4 of the
SPA as if the Guarantor were a party thereto.
SECTION 7. Right of
Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Buyers may, and are hereby authorized
to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors (any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor)

or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Buyers to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor
against any and all obligations of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document,
irrespective of whether or not the Buyers shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document and
although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the Buyers under this Section 7 are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Buyers may have under this Guaranty
or any other Transaction Document in law or otherwise.
SECTION 8. Notices,
Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by overnight mail

for such Guarantor set forth on the signature page hereto, or if to the Buyers, to it at its respective address set forth in the
SPA; or as to any Person at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying

DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS
IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT
THE RIGHT OF THE BUYERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE
PROCEED AGAINST EACH GUARANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY GUARANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS
(WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO
ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY
AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 10. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING
ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT

RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH GUARANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE BUYERS HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE BUYERS WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BUYERS ENTERING INTO THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 11. Taxes.
(a) All payments
made by any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the respective
Transaction Document and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense. All such payments shall be made
free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Buyer by any jurisdiction claiming
the right to tax such net income (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities,
collectively or individually, "Taxes"). If any Guarantor shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document:
(i) such
Guarantor shall make such deduction or withholding,
(ii) such
Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law,
and
(iii) as
promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall send the applicable Buyer an official receipt (or, if an official receipt
is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Buyers) showing payment. In addition, each Guarantor
agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies
that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, "Other Taxes").
(b) Each Guarantor
hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Buyer harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation,
any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 11) paid by the such Buyer
as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses for nonpayment,
late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days from the date on which a Buyer makes written demand therefor,
which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c) If any Guarantor
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 11, such Guarantor shall indemnify the Buyers for any taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 11
shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Each Guarantor
will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds to Buyers,
at such address specified by each Buyer from time to time by notice to the Guarantors.
(b) No amendment
or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor and the Buyers holding a majority of the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.
(c) No failure on
the part of the Collateral Agent and/or the Buyers to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under
any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies
of the Buyers provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of,
any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of each Buyer under any Transaction Document against any party thereto are not
conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other Transaction Document against
such party or against any other Person.
(d) Any provision
of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(e) This Guaranty
shall (i) be binding on each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns, and (ii) inure, together with all rights and
remedies of the Buyers hereunder, to the benefit of the Buyers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without
limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, each Buyer may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
and obligations under the SPA, the Notes or any other Transaction Document to any other Person in accordance with the terms thereof,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the such Buyer herein
or otherwise. None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the
prior written consent of each Buyer.
(f) This Guaranty
reflects the entire understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other
agreement, oral or written, entered into before the date hereof.
(g) Section headings
herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
(h) This
Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and
to be performed therein without regard to conflict of law principles.

INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 6, 2014 between Inventergy Global, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and ______________________________ (“Indemnitee”).
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, highly
competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors and officers or in other capacities unless they
are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions
against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;
WHEREAS, the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified
individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons
serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. The Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”)
and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) of the Company require
indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation and the
DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts
may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;
WHEREAS, it
is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on
behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company
free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and
WHEREAS, this
Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and any resolutions
adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as an officer and/or director from and after the date hereof, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
Indemnity of Indemnitee.
The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended
from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof.
Proceedings Other
Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided
in this Section l(a) if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), the Indemnitee is, or is threatened
to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of
the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined),
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him, or on his behalf, in connection
with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
Proceedings by or
in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b)
if, by reason of his Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding
brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if
the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall
be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification
may be made.
Indemnification for
Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent
that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding,
shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding
but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding,
the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of
any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result
as to such claim, issue or matter.
Additional Indemnity.
In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement,
the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is,
or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company),
including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. The only
limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not
be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions,
set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.
Contribution.
Whether or not the indemnification
provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding),
the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding
without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution
it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which the
Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides
for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.
Without diminishing or
impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or
be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company
shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and
paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees
of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding),
on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such action, suit or proceeding arose;
provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to
conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees
of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding),
on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such expenses,
judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered.
The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly
liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other
hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain
personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct
is active or passive.
The Company hereby agrees
to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors, or
employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.
To the fullest extent
permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason
whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for
judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any
claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of
all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee
as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company
(and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).
Indemnification
for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason
of his Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee
is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
therewith.
Advancement of Expenses.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee
in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by
the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to
or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any
Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.
Procedures and Presumptions
for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of
indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the
parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:
To obtain indemnification
under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation
and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification,
advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee
to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any
liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests
of the Company.
Upon written request
by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be
at the election of the Board (1) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee
of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum or (3)
if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct or upon a Change in Control, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. For purposes hereof, disinterested
directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is sought by Indemnitee. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest to occur after the date of
this Agreement of any of the following events:
(i) Acquisition of Stock by Third Party. Any Person (as defined below) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined below), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
then outstanding securities;
(ii) Change
in Board. During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals
who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who
has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 6(b)(i), 6(b)(iii) or 6(b)(iv)) whose
election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for
election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a least a majority of the members of the Board;
(iii) Corporate
Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation
which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing
to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty
one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the Board or other governing body of such surviving
entity;
(iv) Liquidation.
The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition
by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; and
(v) Other
Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A
of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act (as defined
below), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.
For
purposes of this Section 6(b), the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(A) “Exchange
Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(B) “Person”
shall have the meaning as set forth in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Person shall exclude
(i) the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company and (iii)
any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of the Company.
(C) “Beneficial
Owner” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that
Beneficial Owner shall exclude any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the stockholders of the Company approving
a merger of the Company with another entity.
If the determination
of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board. Indemnitee
may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection
to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected
does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the
objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person
so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected
may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection
is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant
to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee
may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection
which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment
as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with
respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b)
hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel
in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident
to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.
In making a determination
with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the
burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by
its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this
Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor
an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.
Indemnitee shall be deemed
to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter
defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course
of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the
Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the
Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise
shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not
the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all
times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing
evidence.
If the person, persons
or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not
have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination
of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification absent
(i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement
not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under
applicable law; provided, however, that such sixty (60) day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to
exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to
indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto.
Indemnitee shall cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is
not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary
to such determination. Any Independent Counsel or member of the Board shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination
regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’
fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall
be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company
hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
The Company acknowledges
that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay,
distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved
in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim
or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden
of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.
The termination of any
Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of
Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Remedies of Indemnitee.
In the event that (i)
a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination
of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt
by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within
ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within
ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed
to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate
court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification.
Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which
Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s
right to seek any such adjudication.
In the event that a determination
shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any
judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits,
and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b).
If a determination shall
have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall
be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement
by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially
misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable
law.
In the event that Indemnitee,
pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this
Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company,
the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in
Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.
The Company shall be
precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions
of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all
the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee,
shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited
by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification
or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement
of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required
to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
Non-Exclusivity;
Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.
The rights of indemnification
as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled
under applicable law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders,
a resolution of directors of the Company, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision
hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee
in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL, whether by statute
or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits
so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
To the extent that the
Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents or
fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
that such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with
its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under
such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors'
and officers' liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary
or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies.
In the event of any payment
under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee
(other than against the Fund Indemnitors), who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights,
including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
The Company shall not
be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee
has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
The Company's obligation
to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall
be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
Exception to Right
of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement
to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:
for which payment has
actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to
any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, provided, that the foregoing shall not
affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(c) above; or
for an accounting of
profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common
law; or
in connection with any
Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated
by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the
Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole
discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.
Duration of Agreement.
All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer or director
of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to
any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he
is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided
under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto
and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to
all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.
Security. To
the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security
to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral.
Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
Enforcement.
The Company expressly
confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce
Indemnitee to serve as an officer or director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as an officer or director of the Company.
This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
The Company shall not
seek from a court, or agree to, a "bar order" which would have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Indemnitee's
rights to receive advancement of expenses under this Agreement.
Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement:
“Corporate Status”
describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving at
the express written request of the Company.
“Disinterested
Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is sought by Indemnitee.
“Enterprise”
shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
that Indemnitee is or was serving at the express written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.
“Expenses”
shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel
expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other disbursements
or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating,

in any Proceeding. Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding and
any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments

agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional
conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine

to the Buyers pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2013 (as amended, the "Existing

amount for all Buyers shall be $3,000,000). Any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the terms of the New Notes
are collectively referred to herein as the "New Note Conversion Shares" and together with the Amended and Restated
Note Conversion Shares, the "Conversion Shares".

Sale or Distribution. Such Buyer is (i) acquiring the Notes, and (ii) upon conversion of the Notes will acquire the Conversion

distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under
the 1933 Act. Such Buyer is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Buyer does not presently
have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as defined below) to distribute any of the Securities.

(d) Reliance
on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon
the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire
the Securities.
(e) Information.
Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of
the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and
its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect
such Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its investment
in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(g) Transfer

144"); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule
144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person)
through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance
with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company
nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection
with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities
shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities
shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in Section 3(b)), including, without limitation, this Section 2(g).
(h) Legends.
(i) Such
Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes and, until such time as the resale of the Conversion

below, shall bear any legend as required by the "blue sky" laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially
the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE

are registered for resale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of

be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer
agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

any time after the Public Company Date (as defined below), if the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to
the holder of the Securities within three (3) Trading Days (after the occurrence of any of (i) through (iii) above (the initial
date of such occurrence, the "Legend Removal Date"), a certificate without such legend to the holder or to issue
such Securities to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, and if on or after such Trading
Day 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 such Securities that the holder anticipated receiving without legend from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then 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, if any) for the shares
of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such unlegended
Securities shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the holder such unlegended Securities as provided
above 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) the Closing Bid Price (as defined in the Notes) on the Legend Removal Date.

moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights
and remedies.
(j) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer or (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such
Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and
state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults,
rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.
3. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The Company represents
and warrants to each of the Buyers that, except as set forth on a Schedule of Exceptions (the "Schedule of Exceptions")
furnished to each Buyer, which exceptions shall qualify the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Section
3 to the extent specifically referenced in the Schedule of Exceptions, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
(a) Organization
and Qualification. Each of the Company and its "Subsidiaries" (which for purposes of this Agreement means
any joint venture or any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity
or similar interest) are entities duly organized and validly existing and, to the extent legally applicable, in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and
to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity
to do business and, to the extent legally applicable, is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property
or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so
qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement,
"Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results
of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a
whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or in the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to
be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents (as defined below). The Company has no Subsidiaries, except as set forth on Schedule 3(a).
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement, the Notes, the Cash Collateral Agreement and the Deposit Account Control Agreement and each of the other
agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Existing
SPA (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes, the reservation for issuance
and the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the granting of a security interest in the
Collateral (as defined in the Cash Collateral Agreement) have been duly authorized by the Company's board of directors and (other
than any other filings as may be required by any state securities agencies) no further filing, consent, or authorization is required
by the Company, its board of directors or its stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents of even date herewith
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies. Each of the Subsidiaries party to any of the Transaction
Documents has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under such Transaction Documents. The
execution and delivery by the Subsidiaries party to any of the Transaction Documents of such Transaction Documents and the consummation
by such Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by such Subsidiaries' respective boards
of directors (or other applicable governing body) and (other than filings as may be required by state securities agencies) no further
filing, consent, or authorization is required by such Subsidiaries, their respective boards of directors (or other applicable governing
body) or stockholders (or other applicable owners of equity of such Subsidiaries). The Transaction Documents to which any of the
Subsidiaries are parties have been duly executed and delivered by such Subsidiaries, and constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Subsidiaries, enforceable against them in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
(c) Issuance
of Securities. The issuance of the Notes has been duly authorized and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents shall be validly issued and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Amended and
Restated Notes shall be issued hereunder pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the holding period, for purposes of Rule 144, of the Existing Notes shall be tacked to the holding period of the Amended and
Restated Notes. As of the Closing, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than the sum
of 130% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming for purposes hereof, that
the Notes are convertible at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) and without taking into account any limitations on
the conversion of the Notes set forth therein), determined as if issued as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable
date of determination. Upon issuance or conversion in accordance with the Notes, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue
thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of each of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities

party to any of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by the Company and such Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes, and reservation for issuance and issuance of the
Conversion Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of any certificate of incorporation, any certificate of formation, any certificate
of designations or other constituent documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or the bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or
an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights
of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected.
(e) Consents.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
or registration with, any government, court, regulatory, self-regulatory, administrative agency or commission or other governmental
agency, authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, of competent jurisdiction (a "Governmental Authority")
or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, except for (i) the filing of a Form D pursuant to Regulation
D promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act and (ii) the filing required by applicable state "blue sky" securities laws,
rules and regulations. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company
from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(f) Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer's Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and

in Rule 144) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial
advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents

connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction
Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement
agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.
(h) No
Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, and any Person acting on their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances
that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or
otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes of any applicable
stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation
system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates
and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration
of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes
of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.
(i) Dilutive
Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes
will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion
of the Notes is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests
of other stockholders of the Company.

Insolvency. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy

subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) such Person intends to
incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) such Person has

of the Notes set forth therein) as determined as if issued as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination
(the "Required Reserved Amount"). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved
for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary
to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders
to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under Section 3(c), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the

described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set
forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a "Public Information Failure") then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder
of Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive
of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to one
and one-half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder's Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure
and on every thirtieth day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date
such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule
144. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(m) are referred to herein as "Public Information
Failure Payments." Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar
month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure
giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure
Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated
for partial months) until paid in full.
(n) Additional
Issuances of Securities.
(i) For
purposes of this Section 4(n), the following definitions shall apply.
(1) "Common
Stock Equivalents" means, collectively, Options and Convertible Securities.
(2) "Convertible
Securities" means any stock or securities (other than Options) convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares
of Common Stock.
(3) "Options"
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(4) "Subsequent
Placement" means any direct or indirect offer, sale, grant of any option to purchase, or other disposition of (or announcement
of any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' debt, including
without limitation any Permitted Indebtedness.
(ii) From
the Closing Date until a Full Collateralization Event (as defined in the Notes), the Company will not, directly or indirectly,
effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(n)(ii).
(1) The
Company shall deliver to each Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the "Offer Notice") of any proposed or intended
issuance or sale or exchange (the "Offer") of the securities being offered (the "Offered Securities")
in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price
and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued,
sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be
offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with the Buyers one hundred percent (100%) of
the Offered Securities, allocated among such Buyers based on each Buyer's pro rata portion of Notes issued and exchanged hereunder
(the "Basic Amount"). With respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, such Buyer may also
indicate it will purchase or acquire any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other
Buyers should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), which
process shall be repeated until the Buyers shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
(2) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the tenth (10th)
Business Day after such Buyer's receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer Period"), setting forth the portion of
such Buyer's Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount,
the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the "Notice of Acceptance").
If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has
set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts
subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription
Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the
"Available Undersubscription Amount"), each Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be
entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the
total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the
extent its deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify
or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Buyers
a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the tenth (10th) Business Day after such Buyer's receipt of such new Offer
Notice.
(3) The
Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or
any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the "Refused Securities")
pursuant to a definitive agreement (the "Subsequent Placement Agreement") but only to the offerees described in
the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest
rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in
the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent
Placement Agreement, which, from and after the Public Company Date, shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K
with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(4) In
the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the
terms specified in Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number
or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or
amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(n)(ii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or
exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above prior to such reduction)
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects
to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or
exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered
to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(n)(ii)(1) above.
(5) Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from
the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of
Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified
in the Offer. The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery
by the Company and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Buyers and their respective counsel.
(6) Any
Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other persons in accordance with Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above may not be issued,
sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(7) The
Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with
respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the "Subsequent Placement Documents")
shall include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities
of the Company owned by such Buyers prior to such Subsequent Placement.
(8) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(n) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Holders, the Company shall either
confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly
disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that the Buyers will not be in possession
of material non-public information, by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If
by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction
with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received
by the Buyers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall not be deemed to be in possession of
any material, non-public information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect
to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right
of participation set forth in this Section 4(n)(ii). From and after the Public Company Date, the Company shall not be permitted
to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to the Buyers in any 60-day period.
(o) Taxes.
The Company will pay, and save and hold the Buyers harmless from any and all liabilities (including interest and penalties) with
respect to, or resulting from any delay or failure in paying, stamp and other taxes (other than income taxes), if any, which may
be payable or determined to be payable by the Company on the execution and delivery or acquisition of the Notes or the Conversion
Shares.
(p) Books
and Records. The Company will keep proper books of record and account, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all
financial transactions and the assets and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.
(q) Collateral
Agent.
(i) Each
Buyer hereby (a) appoints Hudson Bay as the collateral agent hereunder and under the Security Documents (in such capacity, the
"Collateral Agent"), and (b) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents)
to take such action on such Buyer's behalf in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not have,
by reason hereof or pursuant to any Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees and agents shall have any liability to any Buyer for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in connection hereof or the Security Documents except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors,
employees and agents (collectively, the "Collateral Agent Indemnitees") from and against any losses, damages,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising
from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent
pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents.
(ii) The
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any
telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person,
and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder
or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
(iii) The
Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the Notes and the Security
Documents at any time by giving at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Company and each holder of the Notes.
Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment as provided below. Upon any
such notice of resignation, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes shall appoint a successor Collateral
Agent. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Agreement. After any Collateral
Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 4(q) shall inure to its benefit. If a successor Collateral Agent
shall not have been so appointed within said ten (10) Business Day period, the retiring Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor
Collateral Agent who shall serve until such time, if any, as the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes
appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided above.
(iv) The
Company hereby covenants and agrees to take all actions as promptly as practicable reasonably requested by either the holders of
a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), from time to time pursuant
to the terms of this Section 4(q), to secure a successor Collateral Agent satisfactory to such requesting part(y)(ies), in their
sole discretion, including, without limitation, by paying all fees of such successor Collateral Agent, by having the Company agree
to indemnify any successor Collateral Agent and by each of the Company executing a collateral agency agreement or similar agreement
and/or any amendment to the Security Documents reasonably requested or required by the successor Collateral Agent.
(v) Each
Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, given that there is a cost as well as a benefit to perfecting a security interest in
the Collateral, that the Collateral Agent will not initially perfect its security interest in all assets of the Company, including
in Intellectual Property outside of the United States. Each Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that the indemnification of the
Collateral Agent Indemnitees will apply regardless of whether or not the Collateral Agent perfects its security interest in all
Collateral. If a Buyer desires that the Collateral Agent perfect its security interest in any Collateral that is not otherwise
perfected, such Buyer shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of such desire along with a cost/benefit analysis of such perfection.
The Collateral Agent will consider any such request and will otherwise take direction from the holders of a majority of the outstanding
principal amount of Notes.
(r) Termination
of Security Agreement. Upon a Full Collateralization Event (as defined in the Notes, the Collateral Agent shall promptly consent
to the termination of the Security Agreement and shall release all liens granted to the Collateral Agent thereunder; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the termination of the Security Agreement shall
not have any impact on the Cash Collateral Agreement or the Deposit Account Control Agreement, which shall survive a Full Collateralization
Event and continue in full force and effect after a Full Collateralization Event. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
as of the Closing Date, the Collateral Agent will not require the Company to file documentation to perfect the security interest
in Intellectual Property outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent,
the Company shall secure or perfect the security interest in any such Intellectual Property or other Collateral in accordance with
the terms of the Security Documents.
(s) Withdrawals
from the Control Account. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after a Full Collateralization Event, in
addition to any other rights of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to withdraw any or all amounts in
the Control Account from time to time (each a "Note Withdrawal" and collectively, the "Note Withdrawals"),
as long as any the amount of any such Note Withdrawal is applied against the Conversion Amount of the Notes in accordance with
the terms of the Notes or any amount outstanding under the Notes, applied in each instance pro-rata among the Notes (except with
the prior written consent of each Holder of Notes with respect to any such payment which is not pro-rata in accordance with the
respective outstanding principal amounts of each Note).
(t) Release
of Liens. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause all Liens with respect to assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (other than those in favor of the Collateral Agent or the Buyers) to be released, including without limitation Liens
in favor of Joseph Beyers.
(u) Existing
Deposit Control Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that on or prior to the Closing the Collateral Agent and
the Company shall deliver a joint notice to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Existing DACA Bank")
instructing the Existing DACA Bank to transfer any and all cash deposited in the Collateral Accounts (as defined in the Deposit
Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Existing SPA)) to the Control Account (as defined herein) and, upon such transfer,
to terminate the Deposit Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Existing SPA). The Collateral Agent and the Company agree
that upon acceptance by the Existing DACA Bank of the notice set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Deposit Account
Control Agreement (as defined in the Existing SPA) shall have no further force and effect.
(v) Threshold
Price. The definition of "Threshold Price" in the Existing SPA is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
""Threshold
Price" means $1.61 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications,
combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events occurring after March 23, 2014)."
(w) Modification
of Common Stockholder Lock-Up Agreements executed on or about May 9, 2013. Effective upon the Closing, the “Release Percentage”
as defined in those certain Lock-Up Agreements dated on or about May 9, 2013 between the Company and certain holders of common
stock of the Company party thereto, shall be triggered upon the earliest of (i) the Full Collateralization Event, (ii) when no
Indebtedness is secured by the referenced patents and (iii) upon the redemption in full of all of the Notes.
(x) Closing
Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to each Buyer and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities
and any other documents required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise.
5. REGISTER.
The Company shall maintain
at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder
of Securities), a register for the Notes in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the
Notes have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such
Person and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes held by such Person. The Company shall keep the

9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(b) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile
signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.
(c) Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.
(d) Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(e) Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements
between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein,
and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein,
neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes outstanding as of the applicable date of determination, which shall include Hudson Bay as long as Hudson
Bay or any of its affiliates holds at least $50,000 in aggregate amount of Notes (the "Required Holders"); provided
that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects
the rights and obligations of any Buyer relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Buyers shall require the
prior written consent of such adversely affected Buyer; provided, further, that the provisions of Section 4(q) cannot be amended
without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon each Buyer and holder of Securities and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective
to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Buyers or holders of Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid
to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same
consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents,
holders of Notes. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or
has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.
(f) Notices.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must
be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent
by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending
party) or by electronic mail; or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly
addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses for such communications shall

(g) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is
in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). A Buyer may assign some
or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder
with respect to such assigned rights.
(h) No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that
each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(k).
(i) Survival.
Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained
in Sections 2 and 3 and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing and the delivery
and conversion of the Securities, as applicable. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
(i) In
consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in
addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers,
directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including,
without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees")
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages,
and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification
hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made
against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and
arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or
in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the status of such Buyer or holder
of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the
extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution
to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.
(ii) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written
notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right
to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
selected by the Investors holding at least a majority of the Purchased Shares. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying
party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liabilities by the indemnifying party and
shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee that relates to such action or Indemnified
Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of
a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability
to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend
such action.
(iii) The
indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv) The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (x) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against
the indemnifying party or others, and (y) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
(l) No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(m) Remedies.
Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all
rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights
which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to
enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event
that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law
may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary
and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
other security.
(n) Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw,
in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or
in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other
Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement
or setoff had not occurred.
(p) Reproduction
of Documents. This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications
which may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by the Buyers on the Closing Date (except for certificates evidencing the
Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to the Buyers,
may be reproduced by any Buyer by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar
process and any Buyer may destroy any original document so reproduced. All parties hereto agree and stipulate that any such reproduction
shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original
is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a Buyer in the regular course of business) and that any enlargement,
facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
(q) Independent
Nature of Buyers' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the
Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are
not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company acknowledges and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated
hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall
not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(c) Governmental and other Approvals.
No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or any other person
or entity is required for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by the

(d) Enforceability of Agreement.
This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its
terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws.
(e) Security Interest. This Agreement

shall be required from the Collateral Agent for the Pledgor to engage in any merger or reorganization transaction that is otherwise

such merger or reorganization will not result or reasonably be expected to result in the impairment in any manner of the Collateral
Agent’s rights or priority in respect of the Collateral.
(b) The Pledgor will not, without the
prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, cancel, terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any agreement, document
or other instrument constituting Collateral, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any

(c) The Pledgor will, at the Pledgor's
expense, defend the Collateral Agent's right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any person
or entity.

expense, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it in respect of the
Collateral.
SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning
the Collateral.

prior to the date hereof.

of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time until the Termination Date in the Collateral Agent's discretion to take any action
and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish

indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations,

of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agent and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral
Agent), which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration, amendment, waiver or other modification
or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 12. Notices, Etc. All notices
and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to the Pledgor,
to it at the address listed below its signature hereto, and if to the Collateral Agent, to it at its address specified under its
signature hereto. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received or three Business Days

SECTION 13. Continuing Security Interest;
Termination.

any lack of validity or enforceability of the Notes or the Securities Purchase Agreements, (x) any change in the time, manner or
place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or
any consent to departure from the Notes or the Securities Purchase Agreements, (y) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection
of any lien on or security interest in, any collateral for any of the Obligations or (z) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor or any other person or entity in respect of the Obligations,
and (ii) be binding on the Pledgor and its successors and assigns and inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral
Agent hereunder and its successors, transferees and assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Pledgor hereunder may be
assigned or otherwise transferred except as consented to in writing by the Collateral Agent.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
AND ETHICS
Adopted as of June 6,
2014
This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles
to guide all employees of the Company. All of our employees, officers, directors, representatives and consultants (collectively
the “Covered Persons”) must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior.
If a law conflicts with a policy in this
Code, you must comply with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, you must comply with the Code.
If you have any questions about these conflicts, you should ask your supervisor how to handle the situation.
Those who violate the standards in this Code
will be subject to disciplinary action. If you are in a situation which you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this
Code, follow the guidelines described in Section 16 of this Code.
| 1. | Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations |
Obeying the law, both in letter and in
spirit, is the foundation on which the Company’s ethical standards are built. All employees must respect and obey the laws,
rules and regulations of the cities, states and countries in which we operate. Although not everyone is expected to know the details
of these laws, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate
personnel.
A “conflict of interest” exists
when a person’s private interest interferes in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise
when a Covered Person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively
and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when a Covered Person or members of his or her family and entities with which
such Covered Person is affiliated (such additional individuals and entities, together with Covered Persons, collectively the “Affected
Parties”), receive improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Person’s position in the Company. Loans to,
or guarantees of obligations of Affected Parties may create conflicts of interest.
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 1 |
It is almost always a conflict of interest
for a Company employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier. You are not allowed to work for a competitor
as a consultant or board member. You should avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors,
except on our behalf. In addition, any business transaction, directly or indirectly, between a Covered Person and the Company shall
require the express written pre-approval of the Audit Committee of the Company.
The purpose of business entertainment and
gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage with customers.
No business entertainment or gift should ever be offered, given, provided or accepted by any Covered Person or Affected Parties
unless it: (1) is not a cash gift, (2) is consistent with customary business practices, (3) is not excessive in value, (4) cannot
be construed as a bribe or payoff and (5) does not violate any applicable laws or regulations. Please discuss with your supervisor
any gifts or proposed gifts which you are not certain are appropriate.
As a general policy, Covered Persons shall
avoid conflicts of interest. In addition to the guidelines on gift giving above, the Company may provide guidelines approved by
the Board of Directors on how to address specific conflicts of interest, in which case such guidelines shall be provided to all
Covered Persons. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with your supervisor.
A Covered Person that becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the attention of the Audit Committee
Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company and consult the procedures described in Section 16 of this Code. Certain Covered
Persons may be required to submit an annual statement disclosing actual and potential conflicts of interest.
A violation of the Company’s Insider
Trading Policy shall also constitute a violation of this Code of Conduct and Ethics. If you have any questions, please consult
the Company’s General Counsel.
Covered Persons are prohibited from taking
for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, information or position without
the express written consent of the Board of Directors. No Covered Person may use Company property, information, or position for
improper personal gain, and no employee may compete with the Company directly or indirectly. Employees, officers and directors
owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.
Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, employees, officers and directors should avoid speculation or dealing in any kind of service or real or personal property
during a period that the Company may be purchasing or dealing in services or property of the same or a similar kind.
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 2 |
| 5. | Competition and Fair Dealing |
We seek to outperform our competition fairly
and honestly. We seek competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal business practices.
Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner’s consent, or inducing
such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each Covered Person should endeavor to respect
the rights of and deal fairly with the Company’s clients, licensees, customers, competitors and employees. No Covered Person
should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of
material facts, or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice.
| 6. | Employment Relationship |
The diversity of the Company’s employees
is a tremendous asset. We are firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and will not tolerate
any illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. Examples include derogatory comments based on racial or ethnic characteristics
and unwelcome sexual advances.
Supervisors must be particularly sensitive
to the maintenance of totally professional relations with subordinates. Undue pressures, no matter how subtle, which result in
less than professional relations must be avoided. Evidence of violation of the letter or spirit of this policy will result in appropriate
disciplinary measures.
The Company is entitled to the full working
time and energy of each of its full-time employees. Accordingly, working in any capacity (including self-employment) in or for
any business activity outside the Company is prohibited, except with the prior approval of your supervisor and General Counsel
given after full disclosure of all the circumstances. Special attention should be given to avoiding the conduct of any outside
business during Company working hours, on Company premises, or in a manner that involves fellow employees during their Company
working hours, and the solicitation of fellow employees (particularly subordinates, who could be especially vulnerable to what
might be perceived as pressure from a supervisor) to participate in or with such business in any way, whether as a customer, employee,
independent contractor, or otherwise. The General Counsel will keep a record of all approved outside business activity and will
periodically review the list for accuracy.
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 3 |
The Company strives to provide each employee
with a safe and healthful work environment. Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all
employees by following safety and health rules and practices and reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices
or conditions.
Violence and threatening behavior are not
permitted. Employees should report to and engage in their work in condition to perform their duties, free from the influence of
illegal drugs or alcohol. The use of illegal drugs or alcohol in the workplace will not be tolerated. (Moderate consumption of
alcohol, for e.g. toasts or celebrations or the like, may be permitted in the workplace if previously authorized by the CEO or
General Counsel).
The Company requires honest and accurate
recording and reporting of information in order to be able to make responsible business decisions and to be able to make full,
fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities
and Exchange Commission and in its other public communications. It is the Company's policy to make responsible business decisions
and to make such disclosure.
All of the Company’s books, records,
accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions
and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off
the books” funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation.
Covered Persons may incur business expenses,
which must be documented and recorded accurately. If you are not sure whether a certain expense is reimbursable by the Company,
ask your supervisor or the finance department.
Business records and communications often
become public, and we should avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate characterizations of people and
companies that can be misunderstood. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memos, and formal reports. Records should always
be retained or destroyed according to the Company’s record retention policies.
Employees must maintain the confidentiality
of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers or clients, except when disclosure is expressly authorized
by Company Management or required by applicable laws or regulations. Confidential information includes all non-public information
that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers or clients, if disclosed. It also includes information
that suppliers and customers have entrusted to us. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment
ends.
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 4 |
| 10. | Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets |
All employees should endeavor to protect
the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s
profitability. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation. Company equipment should
not be used for non-Company business, though incidental personal use may be permitted.
The obligation of employees to protect
the Company’s assets includes its proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as
trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, engineering and manufacturing
ideas, designs, databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized use or distribution
of this information would violate Company policy. It could also be illegal and result in civil or even criminal penalties.
| 11. | Political Contributions |
Contributions by the Company, directly
or indirectly, to or on behalf of candidates for federal and state office must meet the requirements of all applicable laws and
regulations and the Company’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Policy, as determined by the Company's General Counsel after
consultation with legal counsel. Please consult the Company’s General Counsel for guidelines concerning political contributions
by or on behalf of the Company.
| 12. | Payments to Government Personnel |
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates
in order to obtain or retain business. It is strictly prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country.
Please consult the Company’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Policy for further details.
In addition, the U.S. government has a
number of laws and regulations regarding business gratuities which may be accepted by U.S. government personnel. The promise, offer
or delivery to an official or employee of the U.S. government of a gift, favor or other gratuity in violation of these rules would
not only violate Company policy but could also be a criminal offense. State and local governments, as well as foreign governments,
may have similar rules. Please consult the Company’s General Counsel for guidance in this area.
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 5 |
| 13. | Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics |
While waivers of this code are not anticipated,
any waiver of this Code for executive officers or directors may be made only by the independent members of the Board of Directors
and will be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of applicable law, rule or regulation and stock exchange listing rules.
Records of any disclosures relating to waivers of this Code shall be retained for no less than five years.
| 14. | Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior |
Employees are encouraged to talk to supervisors,
managers or other appropriate personnel about observed illegal or unethical behavior and when in doubt about the best course of
action in a particular situation. Violations of this Code should be reported promptly to the General Counsel. It is the policy
of the Company not to allow retaliation for reports of misconduct by others made in good faith by employees.
Employees are expected to cooperate in
internal investigations of misconduct. Additionally, the Company's senior management should always be informed of matters which
might appear to risk damage to the Company's reputation, as well as its financial condition or profitability.
Certain Covered Persons may be required
to submit an annual statement disclosing actual and potential conflicts of interest and including the following affirmation:
"I have examined and understand the
Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code"). I undertake to report promptly, in accordance with the Code,
any circumstances in the Company's business or operations that may involve a violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation
and any other circumstances that may involve a violation of the Code. I confirm that I do not know of any such circumstances not
previously reported."
We must all work to ensure prompt and consistent
action against violations of this Code. However, in some situations it is difficult to know right from wrong. Since we cannot anticipate
every situation that will arise, it is important that we have a way to approach a
new question or problem. These are the
steps to keep in mind:
| • | Make sure you have all the facts. In order to reach the right solutions, we must be as fully
informed as possible. |
| • | Ask yourself: What specifically am I being asked to do? Does it seem unethical or improper?
This will enable you to focus on the specific question you are faced with, and the alternatives you have. Use your judgment and
common sense; if something seems unethical or improper, it probably is. |
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 6 |
| • | Clarify your responsibility and role. In most situations, there is shared responsibility.
Are your colleagues informed? It may help to get others involved and discuss the problem. |
| • | Discuss the problem with your supervisor. This is the basic guidance for all situations.
In many cases, your supervisor will be more knowledgeable about the question, and will appreciate being brought into the decision-making
process. Remember that it is your supervisor’s responsibility to help solve problems. |
| • | Seek help from Company resources. In the rare case where it may not be appropriate to discuss
an issue with your supervisor, or where you do not feel comfortable approaching your supervisor with your question, discuss it
with the General Counsel. Any employee or director who becomes involved in a situation that gives rise to an actual conflict of
interest must promptly inform the General Counsel of such conflict. |
| • | You may report ethical violations in confidence and without fear of retaliation. If your
situation requires that your identity be kept secret, your anonymity will be protected. The Company does not permit retaliation
of any kind against employees for good faith reports to a Company or law enforcement official of possible ethical violations. Any
employee or director who violates this rule may be subject to civil, criminal and administrative penalties, as well as disciplinary
action, up to and including termination of employment. |
| • | Any Covered Person who in good faith believes or suspects that any portion of this Code has been
violated and does not feel comfortable addressing the issue with the General Counsel, or if an issue raised has not been addressed,
such Covered Person should immediately report such violation to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Any such report will be promptly evaluated and/or investigated. While the Company strongly prefers that any individual who wishes
to make such a complaint to identify him/herself (to assist in the understanding of the concerns expressed), the Company has created
a “hotline” where employees or directors may anonymously report known or suspected violations of this Code. To access
the hotline, call 408.389.3548, which may be revised from time to time. Any person reporting such a violation should be
prepared to provide as much detail as possible about the suspected violation, including the individuals involved, the nature of
the violation, documentation of the violation, or any other information which may be helpful in the Company’s evaluation
and, if necessary, investigation of the complaint. Prompt disclosure to the appropriate parties is vital to ensure a thorough and
timely evaluation and appropriate resolution. A violation of this Code is a serious matter and could have legal implications. Allegations
of such behavior are not taken lightly and should not be made to embarrass someone or put him or her in a false light. Therefore,
reports of suspected violations should always be made in good faith. |
Inventergy Code of Business Ethics | 7 |
| • | Always ask first, act later. If you are unsure of what to do in any situation, seek guidance
before you act. |
| 17. | Consequences for Non-Compliance with this Code |
Corrective Actions. Any violation of
applicable law or any deviation from the standards embodied in this Code will result in appropriate corrective and/or disciplinary
action, up to and including termination of employment.
Required Government Reporting. Whenever
conduct occurs that requires a report to the government, the Company shall be responsible for complying with such reporting requirements.
Publication of this Code; Amendments and
Waivers. This Code will be posted and maintained on the Company’s website and posting will be disclosed in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K. The annual report on Form 10-K, by reference to the Company's proxy statement, if permitted by SEC
rules, will also contain a statement that amendments to and waivers of this Code with respect to executive officers will be posted
on the Company's website.

Expands Mobile Telecommunications Portfolio
With Acquisition of Select Nokia Patents
Transaction Marks Company’s Third
Acquisition from
Global Technology Leaders
CAMPBELL,
Calif., June 9, 2014—Inventergy Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVT) (“Inventergy”) announced today it has
acquired a patent portfolio from Nokia, a leader in network
infrastructure, location intelligence and advanced technology development. The portfolio includes 16 patent families comprised
of 77 patents and patent applications pertaining to IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS). The acquisition is Inventergy’s third
significant patent acquisition in the past year and increases the Company’s portfolio to more than 750 patents globally.
While the terms of the transaction are confidential, it has no immediate effect on Inventergy’s cash position.
“This represents an important acquisition for Inventergy. When
combined with the portfolio we acquired from Huawei last year, these patents increase our IMS holdings by roughly 50 percent,”
said Joe Beyers, Chairman and CEO of Inventergy. “Leveraging these additional assets with an outstanding R&D
pedigree from Nokia, a known and respected industry leader, will allow us to broaden our reach in the high growth telecommunications
infrastructure space as we continue moving forward with our commercialization efforts.”
The acquired patents address key telecommunications infrastructure
technologies that increasingly play a major role in the industry’s ongoing build-out of high-speed, next generation cellular
services for handsets, tablets, notebooks and other mobile devices. Telecommunications operators throughout the world are upgrading
their network infrastructures to deliver advanced, higher quality voice, data and video content services—a global market
projected to generate US$354 billion in capital expenditures in 2014, according to an Infonetics Research report, a telecommunications
market research firm.
The acquired patents have wide geographic coverage in the United
States and 25 other countries in Europe and parts of Asia, including Japan and China. The
portfolio, among other things, applies broadly to IMS technologies and spans a number of key market segments including telecommunications
operators, hardware and software companies, equipment companies, and end-user equipment vendors.
