The designations, preferences and relative rights of the of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are specified in the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, a description of which is provided below in Item 5.03.

As part of the terms of the Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Preferred Shares, within 30 calendar days following the closing of the Financing. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the registration statement does not become effective within certain time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company would be required to pay the Purchasers in the Financing an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Preferred Shares every month until such time as the registration statement becomes effective or the shares of common stock underlying the Preferred Shares sold in the Financing may be sold by the Purchasers pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of Securities Purchase Agreement, and the form of Registration Rights Agreement, attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 26, 2016, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Preferred Shares issued at the closing of the Financing, were offered and issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Purchasers represented to the Company that each was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Regulation D and the Financing did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
