bylaws 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 enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect
on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document
(any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.


 


(c)Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated

it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith
or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which
it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company 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

(g)Capitalization.

most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of
participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result
of the purchase and sale of the Securities, 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 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 except as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement.
All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,

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.

within the Prospectus, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof or in the Prospectus

which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities

(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 could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’

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 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 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.


 


(l)Compliance.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been
waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the
Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any
court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation
of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental
protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as
could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(m)Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.


 


(n)Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens
for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefore in accordance with GAAP
and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by
the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the
Subsidiaries are in compliance.


 


(o)Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights
and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the Prospectus
or the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual
Property Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that
any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be
abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included within the Prospectus, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any
knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or
reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights
are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company
and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their
intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.



    	13



    	 



    
 


(p)Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage
from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.


 


(q)Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, none of the officers or directors of the Company or any
Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party to

property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to or from
any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case in excess
of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred
on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the

Act of 2002 that are applicable to the Company and effective as of the date hereof, and any and all rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are applicable to the Company and effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.
The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations,
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization,
and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules
and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will
not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as

to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.


 


(w)Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

(x)Disclosure.
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 or the Prospectus Supplements. 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 in all material respects 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.


 


(y)Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the
Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
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 and (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. 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 (it being understood that the Company may require additional capital to continue
its operations during such period). The Prospectus sets forth as of the date hereof 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 $50,000 (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. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.


 


(z)Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local
income 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.

(aa)Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent

unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns
from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person
acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any
provision of FCPA.

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 been based
solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Sections 3.2(e) and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been
asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities
of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities 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 or future private placement transactions,
may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) 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,
including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are
being determined, 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.

and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser,

date therein):


 


(a)Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or
formed, 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, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be either: (a) a resident of the state of Wisconsin
and either (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities
Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act or (b) an
“institutional investor” as defined within the meaning of the Blue Sky law of its principal place of business.
Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange 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)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 a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other
Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms 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,
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.

or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

hereunder as set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus Supplement.

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. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others
and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.


 


4.9Reservation
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 and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the
Warrants. 


 


4.10Quotation
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the quotation
of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently quoted, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall
promptly secure the quotation of all of the Shares and Warrant 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 Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant 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.

4.11[Reserved].



 


4.12Subsequent
Equity Sales. 


 


(a)From
the date hereof until 30 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.


 


(b)From
the date hereof until the second anniversary of the closing, 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 any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities
at a future determined price. 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.


 


4.13Equal
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 any of the
Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. 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.



    	24



    	 



    
 


4.14Certain
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 and the information included in the
this Agreement and otherwise provided to the Purchasers in connection with 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 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.

5.9Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning
the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees
or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for
the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein
(including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then,
in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall

preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


 


5.10Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.


 


5.11Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same

understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.


 


5.12Severability.
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 remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.



    	27



    	 



    
 


5.13Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without
limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election,
demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods
therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to
the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided,
however, that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the
applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently
with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such
Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement
warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).


 


5.14Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance
of such replacement Securities.


 


5.15Remedies.
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.


 


5.16Payment
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 or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, recovered from, disgorged 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.



    	28



    	 



    
 


5.17Independent
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. For reasons
of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through
EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the placement agent for the offering.
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.


 


5.18Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action
or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right
may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


5.19Construction.
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, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.


 


5.20WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT
BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
