or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is
in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or
property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the

financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s

any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or

or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not have or reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(e)               Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice

Issuance of the Securities; Registration. The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance
with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens

Act, which became effective on July 30, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), including the Prospectus, and such amendments
and supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities
Act and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of
the Prospectus has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the
Company, are threatened by the Commission. The Company, if required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, shall file the Prospectus
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). At the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at the
date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all
material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and 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 the Prospectus

(g)               Capitalization.
The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most

Company’s stock incentive plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans,
the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the
date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,

contemplated pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities or described in
this Agreement or the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of
any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or
giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common
Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares
of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance
with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or
similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of
Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements
or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge
of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis
or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.
As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.
Such financial statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial
statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements do not contain all items required by GAAP, and fairly present
in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial,
year-end audit adjustments.


 









    10 


     


    

 


(i)                
 Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there
has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) the Company has not incurred any material liabilities (contingent or otherwise), (iii) the Company has not altered its method of
accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased,
redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities
to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock incentive plans or pursuant to the exercise/conversion
of outstanding Common Stock Equivalents. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment
of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence
or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under
applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading
Day prior to the date that this representation is made.


 


(j)                
Litigation. Other than actions described in the most recent SEC Report, there is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation,
proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or
any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal,
state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality,
validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) would, if there were an unfavorable decision,
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Other than actions described in the SEC Reports, neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or
liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. The Commission has not issued any stop order
or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act
or the Securities Act.


 


(k)               Labor
Relations. No labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the
Company, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company or such
Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and
its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no current
executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any
employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive
officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The
Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to
be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(y)              
 Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their
agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not
otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing
representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company
to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, is
true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other
than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.2, neither the Company, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its Affiliates, nor to the Company’s knowledge, any Person
acting on its or 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 cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for
purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed
or designated.


 


(aa)            Solvency.

the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it
to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts
on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its
ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or
liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports
set forth all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any
Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for
borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $200,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of
business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not
the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z)
the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP.

and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,
reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount
claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for
any such claim.

contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the
Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any
advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further
represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has

issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser,
specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this

any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly,
presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation
with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands
and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities
are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the
Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned
hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.


 


(gg)          
Regulation M Compliance.  The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly
or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases
of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other

Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporation or formation, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise
to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by such Purchaser
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly
executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable
principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief
or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.


 






    19 


     


    

 


(b)              
 Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no
direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities
(this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in
the ordinary course of its business.


 


(c)              
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either:
(i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12) or (a)(13) under
the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.


 


(d)              
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(e)              
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, subject to the requirements of Regulation FD, (i) the opportunity
to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms
and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the
Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to
evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment.  Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate
of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information
or advice necessary or desired.  Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company
or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the
Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser,
neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.


 


(f)                Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor
has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any
purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that
such Purchaser first received knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate
portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of
the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation
set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment
decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such
Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors,
employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification
of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the
future.

such Purchaser and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its members (or shareholders) is required.


 


The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on
the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any
other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation
of the transaction contemplated hereby.

of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchaser
or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing
any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any
such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release
of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser named in any further press release or public statement, with respect
to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required
by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
For clarity, any public statement or press release of the Company that does not name any Purchaser and includes disclosure about the transactions
consistent with the initial press release and 8-K Filing described above shall not require further consent from any Purchaser. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with
the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required
by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice
of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).


 


4.5             
Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other
Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the
Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities
under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.


 









    22 


     


    

 


4.6             
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser
or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or the Company reasonably believes constitutes material non-public information,
unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use
of such information. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s
consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of
its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, and of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material,
non-public information. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material,
non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.


 


4.7             
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes
and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables
in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.


 


4.8              Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its
directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such
Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers,
shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding
such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses,
including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation
that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action
instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the
Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under
the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any
violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and
the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the
Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that
(i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party,
in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The
Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without
the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to
the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 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 are incurred.


 






    23 


     


    

 


4.9             
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and
keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the
Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement.


 


4.10         
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common
Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote
all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further
agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application
all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading
Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its
Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of
fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer. 




 


4.11         
Reserved.


 


4.12         
 Subsequent Equity Sales.


 


(a)              
From the date hereof until the earlier of (i) 90 days after the Closing Date and (ii) the Trading Day following the date that the
Common Stock’s closing price exceeds $6.00 for a period of 10 consecutive Trading Days, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall
(i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus Supplement; provided,
for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be restricted from the actions described in (i) or (ii) above following 90 days
after the Closing Date.


 






    24 


     


    

 


(b)              
 From the date hereof until six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into
an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination
of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company
(i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to
receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based
upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after
the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related
to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects any transaction under, any agreement,
including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or at-the-market offering, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future
determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights, pursuant to a shareholder
rights plan or pursuant to an agreement with a third party for an investment, acquisition or other business combination transaction or
pursuant to any program established whereby suppliers and/or vendors may acquire shares as an incentive to sell products). Any Purchaser
shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to
any right to collect damages.


 


(c)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate
Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.13         
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered
or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Document. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate
right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the
Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.


 






    25 


     


    

 


4.14          Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it
nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short
Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such
time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other
Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence
and terms of this transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any
representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after
the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any
transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to
trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as
described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the
portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this
Agreement.

or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party

page were an original thereof.


 


5.12         
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall

Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of
damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in
the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 


5.15         
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction
Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement

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, 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.




 


5.16         
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for
the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein
or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out
of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an
additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review
and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents
for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood
and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser,
solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to
revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition,
