as representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters named in Schedule I attached
thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-211627), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 26, 2016, subsequently amended thereafter, and declared effective by the Commission on June 15, 2016 (the “Registration Statement”), with respect to an aggregate of 736,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.008 par value per share (the “Common

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option (the “Option”), exercisable not later than 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to 110,400 additional shares of Common Stock. The Underwriters have elected to exercise the Option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, bringing the total offering to 845,588 shares.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the closing date of the Offering without the prior written consent of the Representative.
The Underwriting Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of the Underwriting Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Underwriting
Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.
