Canaccord Genuity LLC

99 High Street, 12^th Floor

Boston, Massachusetts 02110

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”), as follows:

1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it will issue and sell through Canaccord, acting as sales agent, shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) having an aggregate offering price of up to $30,000,000. The Shares will be sold on the terms set forth herein at such times and in such amounts as the Company and Canaccord shall agree from time to time. The issuance and sale of the Shares through Canaccord will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Company with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

2. Placements.

(a) Placement Notice. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify Canaccord by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters within which it desires to sell the Shares, which shall at a minimum include the number of Shares (“Placement Shares”) to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Canaccord. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals (each an “Authorized Representative”) from the Company set forth on Schedule 1 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from Canaccord set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, in each case as such Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon confirmation by Canaccord unless and until (i) Canaccord declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) the Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 12.

(b) Placement Fee. The amount of compensation to be paid by the Company to Canaccord with respect to each Placement (in addition to any expense reimbursement pursuant to Section 7(h)(ii)) shall be equal to 3.0% of gross proceeds from each Placement.

(c) No Obligation. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor Canaccord will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to Canaccord, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. It is also expressly acknowledged that Canaccord will be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice control.

3. Sale of Placement Shares by Canaccord. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Company’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Canaccord will use its best efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Company and as agent, such Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Company acknowledges that Canaccord will conduct the sale of Placement Shares in compliance with applicable law including, without limitation, Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that such compliance may include a delay in commencement of sales efforts after receipt of a Placement Notice. Canaccord will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) next following the Trading Day on which they have made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Company to Canaccord with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company. Canaccord may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including without limitation sales made directly on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Principal Trading Market”), on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or a Placement Notice, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that Canaccord will be successful in selling any Placement Shares or as to the price at which any Placement Shares are sold, if at all, and (ii) Canaccord will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if they do not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by Canaccord to use its best efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Company and as agent such Placement Shares as provided under this Section 3. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Principal Trading Market is open for trading.

4. Suspension of Sales. The Company or Canaccord may, upon notice to the other party in writing, by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission) or by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties), suspend any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. The Company agrees that no such notice shall be effective against Canaccord unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 1 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.

5. Settlement.

(a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the second (2nd) Business Day (or such earlier day as is agreed by the parties to be industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against the receipt of the Placement Shares sold (“Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) the commission or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company to Canaccord, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2 hereof, as the case may be, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to Canaccord hereunder pursuant to Section 7(h) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b) Delivery of Shares. On each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting Canaccord’s accounts or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt of such Placement Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good

2

deliverable form, Canaccord will, on each Settlement Date, deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company prior to the Settlement Date. If the Company defaults in its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 10 hereto, it will (i) hold Canaccord harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including actual, reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay to Canaccord any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Canaccord that:

The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239614) with respect to the Shares to be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the Rules and Regulations, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement, including the base prospectus contained therein (the “Base Prospectus”) was prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable Rules and Regulations.

No order preventing or suspending the use of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been issued by the Commission. Copies of all filings made by the Company under the Securities Act and all Commission Documents that were filed with the Commission have either been delivered to Canaccord or made available to Canaccord on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated (or deemed to be incorporated) by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

(c) Conformity with Securities Act and Exchange Act. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, when they became effective under the Securities Act or were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions (a) that have been corrected in a filing that has been incorporated by reference in the Prospectus not less than 24 hours prior to the relevant Applicable Time or (b) made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by Canaccord intended for use in any such document.

(d) Financial Information. The consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and the supporting schedules of the Company and all significant subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 1-02 (w) of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act) of the Company, together with the related notes, set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure Package, have been and will be prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and with United States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied at the times and during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects and will fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments); and the other financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package has been compiled on a basis consistent in all material respects with that of the financial statements and presents fairly in all material respects the information shown thereby.

4

aggregate, to be so qualified and be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on (i) the consolidated business, operations, assets, properties, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement (collectively, a “Material Adverse Effect”).

Except for the Subsidiaries, the Company owns no beneficial interest, directly or indirectly, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity.

Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has (i) good and marketable title to all of the properties and assets owned by it, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests or encumbrances (collectively, “Encumbrances”), other than Encumbrances that would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) possession under all material leases to which it is party as lessee. All leases and contracts to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party are valid and binding and no material default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, and no event or circumstance that with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a material default has occurred and is continuing, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no defaults by the counterparties exist under any such leases or contracts.

(i) Investment Company Act. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries, is now or, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares, will be required to register as an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

No consent, approval, authorization, permit, or order of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental or self-regulatory agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the Shares and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as required pursuant to Section 9(h) below, and except the filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus) and amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and Prospectus related to the issue and sale of the Shares, filings related to the transactions contemplated hereby on Form 8-K and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as have already been obtained or made or as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws.

There has been no storage, generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind

8

Each pension plan for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and to the Company’s knowledge nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could, individually or in the aggregate, cause the loss of such qualification.

The Company has not made any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of Canaccord. The Company has retained in accordance with the Securities Act all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act.

7. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with Canaccord that:

(a) Registration Statement Amendments. After the date of this Agreement and during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Canaccord under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 or Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), (i) the Company will notify Canaccord promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and has become effective or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the Company will file promptly all other material required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act; (iii) it will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon Canaccord’s request, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that, in Canaccord’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Placement Shares by Canaccord (provided, however that the failure of Canaccord to make such request shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect Canaccord’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement); (iv) the Company will submit to Canaccord a copy of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus a reasonable period of time before the filing thereof and will afford Canaccord and Canaccord’s counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed filing prior to such proposed filing; and (v) it will furnish to Canaccord at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus; and the Company will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424 (b) of the Rules and Regulations or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed.

13

(b) Notice of Commission Stop Orders. The Company will advise Canaccord, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or other prospectus in respect of the Shares, of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the form of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or of any such order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus in respect of the Shares or suspending any such qualification, to promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and in the event of any such issuance of a notice of objection, promptly to take such reasonable steps as may be necessary to permit offers and sales of the Placement Shares by Canaccord, which may include, without limitation, amending the Registration Statement or filing a new registration statement, at the Company’s expense (references herein to the Registration Statement shall include any such amendment or new registration statement).

(c) Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes. Within the time during which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by Canaccord under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 or Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, and will file on or before their respective due dates all reports required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 15(d), if applicable, or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will immediately notify Canaccord to suspend the offering of Shares during such period and the Company will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(d) Exchange Filings. In connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares, the Company will file with the Principal Trading Market all documents and notices, and make all certifications, required by the Principal Trading Market of companies that have securities that are listed on the Principal Trading Market.

(e) Listing of Placement Shares. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the Principal Trading Market and to qualify the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as Canaccord designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(f) Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company will furnish to Canaccord and its counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as Canaccord may from time to time reasonably request and, at Canaccord’s request, will also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of Placement Shares may be made.

(g) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement covering a 12-month period that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations.

14

(q) Comfort Letters. Upon the execution of this Agreement, upon the recommencement of the offering of the Placement Shares under this Agreement following any termination of a suspension of sales hereunder, and within three (3) Trading Days of each Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause its independent registered public accounting firm to furnish Canaccord letters dated the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the date of such recommencement or the date of such Representation Date (but in the case of clauses (i) and (iv) of Section 7(o) above, only if Canaccord reasonably determines that the information contained in such filings with the Commission contains a material change in the financial disclosure of the Company), as the case may be (the “Comfort Letters”), in form and substance satisfactory to Canaccord, (i) confirming that they are registered independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters included in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement as ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letters, the “Initial Comfort Letters”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letters with any information which would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letters had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letters.

17

(r) Market Activities. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Shares, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Shares other than Canaccord.

(s) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is commercially reasonable and customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries.

(t) Compliance with Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local or foreign law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order or decree, except where failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Furthermore, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all material environmental permits, licenses and other authorizations required by federal, state and local law in order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or cause their businesses to be conducted, in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable environmental laws, except where the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Investment Company Act. The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor the Subsidiaries will be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act, assuming no change in the Commission’s current interpretation as to entities that are not considered an investment company.

(v) Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

(w) No Offer to Sell. Other than a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) approved in advance by the Company and Canaccord in its capacity as principal or agent hereunder, neither Canaccord nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than Canaccord in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), required to be filed by it with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Common Stock hereunder.

(x) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company and the Subsidiaries will use their commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all effective applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(y) Consent to Canaccord Trading. The Company consents to Canaccord trading in the shares of Common Stock of the Company for Canaccord’s own account and for the account of its clients at the same time as sales of Placement Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement.

(z) Rescission Offers. If, to the knowledge of the Company, all filings required by Rule 424 in connection with this offering shall not have been made or the representation in Section 6 shall not be true and correct on the applicable Settlement Date, the Company will offer to any person who has agreed to purchase Placement Shares from the Company as the result of an offer to purchase solicited by Canaccord the right to refuse to purchase and pay for such Placement Shares.

(aa) Actively Traded Security. If, at the time of execution of this Agreement, the Company’s Common Stock is not an “actively traded security” exempted from the requirements of Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act by subsection (c)(1) of such rule, the Company shall notify Canaccord at the time the Common Stock becomes an “actively traded security” under such rule. Furthermore, the Company shall notify Canaccord immediately if the Common Stock, having once qualified for such exemption, ceases to so qualify.

18

8. Additional Representations and Covenants of the Company.

(a) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses.

(i) The Company represents that it has not made, and covenants that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of Canaccord, it will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by it with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act; except as set forth in a Placement Notice, no use of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been consented to by Canaccord. The Company agrees that it will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending.

(ii) The Company agrees that no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, will include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified, or the Prospectus. In addition, no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to any statements or omissions in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by Canaccord intended for use therein.

(iii) The Company agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified, or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to Canaccord and, if requested by Canaccord, will prepare and furnish without charge to Canaccord an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any statements or omissions in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by Canaccord intended for use therein.

(b) Non-Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company consents to the use by Canaccord of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, and (b) contains only information describing the preliminary terms of the Shares or their offering, or information permitted under Rule 134 under the Securities Act; provided that Canaccord covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of Canaccord that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of Canaccord.

(c) Distribution of Offering Materials. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, during the term of this Agreement, any offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares other than the Registration Statement, Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by Canaccord and included in a Placement Notice (as described in Section 8(a)(i) above).

19

9. Conditions to Canaccord’s Obligations. The obligations of Canaccord hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein and in the applicable Placement Notices, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, to the completion by Canaccord of a due diligence review satisfactory to Canaccord in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by Canaccord in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a) Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for the sale of (i) all Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placements and not yet sold by Canaccord and (ii) all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by the Placement Notice relating to such Placement.

(b) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state or foreign or other governmental, administrative or self-regulatory authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which might reasonably require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state or foreign or other governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(c) No Misstatement or Material Omission. Canaccord shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in Canaccord’s opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in Canaccord’s opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d) Material Changes. Except as contemplated and appropriately disclosed in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, in each case at the time the applicable Placement Notice is delivered, there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized capital stock of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that may reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities, the effect of which, in the sole judgment of Canaccord (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(e) Certificate. Canaccord shall have received the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(o) on or before the date on which delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to Section 7(o).

(f) Legal Opinions. Canaccord shall have received the opinions of counsel to the Company required to be delivered pursuant Section 7(p) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinions are required pursuant to Section 7(p). In addition, Canaccord shall have received the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to Canaccord, on such dates and with respect to such matters as Canaccord may reasonably request.

20

(g) Comfort Letters. Canaccord shall have received the Comfort Letters required to be delivered pursuant Section 7(q) on or before the date on which such delivery of such letters is required pursuant to Section 7(q).

(h) Approval for Listing; No Suspension. The Placement Shares shall have either been (i) approved for listing, subject to notice of issuance, on the Principal Trading Market, or (ii) the Company shall have filed an application for listing of the Placement Shares on the Principal Trading Market at or prior to the issuance of the Placement Notice. Trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended on the Principal Trading Market.

(i) Other Materials. On each date on which the Company is required to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(o), the Company shall have furnished to Canaccord such appropriate further information, certificates, opinions and documents as Canaccord may reasonably request. All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Company will furnish Canaccord with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as Canaccord shall reasonably request.

(j) Securities Act Filings Made. All filings with the Commission required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act to have been filed prior to the issuance of any Placement Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 424.

(k) No Termination Event. There shall not have occurred any event that would permit Canaccord to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(a).

10. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Company Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless Canaccord and each person, if any, who controls Canaccord against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which Canaccord or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, or in any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Company or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Placement Shares under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or the Disclosure Package or in any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Company or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Placement Shares under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading, and will reimburse Canaccord for any actual, reasonable and documented legal expenses of counsel for Canaccord and one set of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for Canaccord, and for other actual, reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Canaccord in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by and through Canaccord expressly for use therein.

21

(b) Canaccord Indemnification. Canaccord will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact, in the case of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, in the case of the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, the Disclosure Package or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Disclosure Package, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by and through Canaccord expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any actual, reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events the actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable to the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one proceeding or series of related proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such proceeding). No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or claim affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Canaccord on the other from the offering of the Placement Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if

22

the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Canaccord on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Canaccord on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions and other fees received by Canaccord. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or Canaccord on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and Canaccord agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), Canaccord shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Placement Shares distributed to the public by it were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which Canaccord has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls Canaccord within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of Canaccord under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which Canaccord may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

11. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Canaccord, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

12. Termination.

(a) Canaccord shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving notice as hereinafter specified if (i) any Material Adverse Effect has occurred, or any development that is reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or any other event has occurred which, in the sole judgment of Canaccord, may materially impair Canaccord’s ability to proceed with the offering to sell the Shares, (ii) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable, at or prior to any Settlement Date, to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (iii) any other condition of Canaccord’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the shares of Common Stock of the Company on the Principal Trading Market shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h) (Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification), Section 11 (Survival of Representations), Section 12(f) (Termination), Section 17 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 18 (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If Canaccord elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12(a), Canaccord shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 13 (Notices).

23

(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time by giving three (3) calendar days’ notice as hereinafter specified. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17 and Section 18 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c) In addition to, and without limiting Canaccord’s rights under Section 12(a), Canaccord shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement by giving three (3) calendar days’ notice as hereinafter specified. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17 and Section 18 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), 12(b) or 12(c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(h), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17 and Section 18 shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by Canaccord or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement, as permitted under Section 12(b), the Company shall be under no continuing obligation to utilize the services of Canaccord in connection with any sale of securities of the Company or to pay any compensation to Canaccord other than compensation with respect to sales of Placement Shares subscribed on or before the termination date and the Company shall be free to engage other placement agents and underwriters from and after the termination date with no continuing obligation to Canaccord.
