financial reporting to ensure that material information relating to the Company, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may
be, is being prepared, and to provide reasonable assurance regarding the financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s certifying
officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of the date of its most recently filed periodic report (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The

trade and be quoted on, and is quoted on, the over-the-counter Bulletin Board market maintained by The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “OTCBB”) and the Company has received no notice or other communication indicating that such eligibility
is subject to challenge or review by any applicable regulatory agency, electronic market administrator, or exchange. The Company has not, and shall not take any action that would preclude, or otherwise jeopardize, the inclusion of the Common Stock

 Section 5.3 Issuance of Additional Shares. 
 (a) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the issuance of the Shares and until such time as the
Purchaser no longer owns any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement (including shares issued pursuant to this Section 5.3) or six (6) months after the date of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, issue shares of Common
Stock, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable securities without consideration or for consideration per share (including, in the case of such options, rights, or securities, the additional consideration required to be paid to the Company upon exercise, conversion or
exchange) less than the Effective Price Per Share (as hereinafter defined) (each such issuance, a “Triggering Issuance”), then (i) the Company shall issue to the Purchaser, for no additional consideration, such number of shares
of Common Stock which when aggregated with the Shares issued hereunder to Purchaser prior to the applicable Triggering Issuance would result in an effective purchase price per share of Common Stock to the Purchaser (calculated by dividing the
Purchase Price by such aggregate number of shares) equal to the effective price per share of Common Stock of the Triggering Issuance (calculated by dividing the total consideration received by the Company for such issuance (as determined below)
divided by the number of shares issued (as determined below)), and (ii) the Effective Price Per Share shall be adjusted to equal the effective price per share of Common Stock of the Triggering Issuance. “Effective Price Per
Share” shall mean $8.00, as subsequently adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Triggering Issuance shall not include any options to purchase shares of Common Stock (or any shares issued in connection

issuable and the adjustment in the Effective Price Per Share pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5.3, the following provisions shall be applicable: 
 (i) In the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash in a public offering or private placement, the
consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions or placement fees payable by the Company to any underwriter or placement agent in connection with the issuance and sale
thereof. 
 (ii) In the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part
other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant) thereof. 
 (iii) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock, or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities: 
 (1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were
issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the shares of Common Stock covered thereby;

 (2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, exercise, or in
exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion, exercise or exchange thereof
shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities, options, or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash
received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights; 

(3) no further adjustment of the Effective Price Per Share adjusted upon the issuance of any such options, rights,
convertible securities or exchangeable securities shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of shares of Common Stock or the exercise of any such rights or options or any conversion or exchange of any such securities.

Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Effective Price Per Share shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the Effective Price Per
Share immediately prior to any such event by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to any such event, and (b) the denominator is the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after to any such event. 
 Section 5.5 Lock Up Agreement. The
parties acknowledge and agree that the Shares, the Warrant Shares, and any additional shares issuable in connection with this Agreement or the Warrant, shall be “Common Stock” under, and subject to, that certain Lock-Up Letter Agreement

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the obligations contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense. In the event of termination of this

Borough of Manhattan, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of
process on such party as provided in Section 8.1 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party. 
 (b) Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any document referred to in this Agreement or the Securities
Purchase contemplated hereby.
