(collectively, the “1933 Act”), and applicable state securities laws, with respect to the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the Investment Agreement.


 


Now
therefore, in consideration of the foregoing promises and the mutual covenants contained hereinafter and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

shares of capital stock issued or issuable with respect to such shares of Common Stock, if any, as a result of any stock split,

 “Registration
Statement” means a registration statement or statements of the Company filed under the 1933 Act covering the Registrable
Securities.


 


All

Section
2.REGISTRATION.


 


(a)Subject
to Section 3(g), the Company shall, within thirty (30) days after the Execution Date, file with the SEC the Registration
Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form S-1 (or, if such form is unavailable for such a registration, on
such other form as is available for such registration), covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities, which Registration
Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416 promulgated under the 1933 Act, such Registration Statement also covers
such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions. The Company shall initially register for sale 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, except to the extent that the SEC
requires the share amount to be reduced as a condition of effectiveness.


 


(b)The
Company agrees not to include any other securities in the Registration Statement without the Investor’s prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it will not file any other Registration
Statement for other securities, until thirty (30) calendar days after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the
SEC.


 





Section
3.COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.


 


(a)The
Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90)
days after the date that such Registration Statement is filed and shall keep such Registration Statement effective until the earlier
to occur of the date on which (A) the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities; or (B) the thirty-six (36) months
after such Registration Statement is declared effective (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts
to respond to all SEC comments within ten (10) business days from receipt of such comments by the Company. The Company shall use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective no later than five (5) business days
after notice from the SEC that the Registration Statement may be declared effective.

 (b)The
Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Registration
Period, and (ii) during the Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed by the Investor in accordance
with and as disclosed in such Registration Statement. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is at any time insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company
shall amend such Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable),
so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) calendar
days after the necessity therefor arises (based on the then Purchase Price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which
the Company reasonably elects to rely); provided, however, that if the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares at the
time the Company’s obligation pursuant to this Section 3(b) arises, the sixty (60) day period shall begin after authorization
of the requisite shares. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. 


 


(c)The
Company shall make available to the Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal
counsel without charge (i) if requested by the Investor, promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC at least one
(1) copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary
prospectus) and, with regards to such Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC
or the staff of the SEC and any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives; and
(ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, the Company shall make available copies of the prospectus, via EDGAR,
included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. 


 


(d)The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such states in the United States as the Investor reasonably
requests; (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements
to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period;
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during
the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section
3(d), or (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who
holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration
or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction
in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(e)As
promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (“Registration Default”)
and use all diligent efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and take any other necessary
steps to cure the Registration Default (which, if such Registration Statement is on Form S-3, may consist of a document to be
filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined below) and to be incorporated
by reference in the prospectus) to correct such untrue statement or omission, and make available copies of such supplement or
amendment to the Investor. The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective;
(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information,
(iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate,
(iv) in the event the Registration Statement is no longer effective, or (v) if the Registration Statement is stale as a result
of the Company’s failure to timely file its financials or otherwise. If a Registration Default occurs during the period
commencing on the Put Notice Date and ending on the Closing Date, the Company acknowledges that its failure to cure such a Registration
Default within ten (10) business days will cause the Investor to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain.


 


(f)The
Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension promptly upon learning of
such order or suspension, and to notify the Investor holding Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and
the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding concerning the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement.


 


(g)The
Company shall permit the Investor and one (1) legal counsel, designated by the Investor, to review and comment upon the Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least three (3) calendar days prior to their filing with the SEC.


 


(h)The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered
pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv)
such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any
other agreement, or (v) the Investor has consented to such disclosure. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure
of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through
other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order covering such information.


 





(i)The
Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities
covered by any Registration Statement on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).


 




    	4



    	 



    






 


(j)The
Company shall provide a transfer agent for all the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the first Registration
Statement filed pursuant hereto. 


 


(k)If
requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practical incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the Investor reasonably determines should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution
of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the offering of the Registrable Securities
to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon
as reasonably possible after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by the Investor.


 





(l)The
Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration
Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to facilitate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 


 


(m)The
Company shall otherwise use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC
in connection with any registration hereunder. 


 


(n)Within
one (1) business day after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver to the transfer
agent for such Registrable Securities, with copies to the Investor, a written notification that such Registration Statement has
been declared effective by the SEC. 


 


Section
4.COVENANTS OF THE INVESTOR. 


 


(a)The
Investor agrees to furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and the intended method
of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall reasonably be required and requested by the Company (at least five (5) days
prior to the filing of the Registration Statement) to effect the registration of the resale of such Registrable Securities, and
the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request; provided,
however,that the Investor’s obligations under this Section 4(a) shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities and


 


(b)The
Investor covenants and agrees that, in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities by it pursuant to the Registration Statement,
it shall comply with the “Plan of Distribution” section of the then current prospectus relating to such Registration
Statement. 


 


(c)The
Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder. 


 


(d)The
Investor agrees to provide all information which it is required by law to provide to the Company, including the intended method
of disposition of the Registrable Securities, and the Company’s obligations set forth herein shall be conditioned on the
receipt of such information.


 




    	5



    	 



    






 


(e)The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering the resale of such Registrable Securities until the Investor receives notification
from the Company that the events described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) have been resolved by appropriate
action on the part of the Company.


 


Section
5.EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.


 





All
reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and other than as set forth in the Investment Agreement,
incurred in connection with registrations including comments, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2 and Section
3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printing and accounting fees, and fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, all fees and expenses of the Investor
incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Investor.


 


Section
6.INDEMNIFICATION.


 


In
the event any Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement under this Agreement:


 


(a)To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, under this Agreement, will, and hereby does agree to, indemnify, hold harmless
and defend the Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees of, and each Person, if any, who controls, the Investor
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (each,
an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges,
costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”),
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken
from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether
pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (collectively, “Actions”),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which the Investor has requested in
writing that the Company register or qualify the Shares (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the final prospectus for the offer of the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented, if the Company
files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material
fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made,
not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other applicable
law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or sale
of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, “Violations”). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(c) the Company shall
reimburse each Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable and documented
legal fees or other reasonable and documented expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any Violation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification obligations contained in this Section 6(a):
(i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which is due to the inclusion in the Registration Statement
(or amendments or supplements thereto) or prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto) of the information furnished to the
Company by any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereof; (ii) shall not be available
to the extent such Claim is based on (A) a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus (or any
amendments or supplements thereto) made available by the Company; (B) the Indemnified Person’s use of an incorrect prospectus
(or any amendments or supplements thereto) despite being promptly advised in advance by the Company in writing not to use such
incorrect prospectus (or any amendments or supplements thereto); (C) the manner of sale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor
or of the Investor’s failure to register as a dealer under applicable securities laws; (D) any omission of the Investor
to notify the Company of any material fact that should be stated in the Registration Statement (or any amendments or supplements
thereto) or prospectus (or any amendments or supplements thereto) relating to the Investor or the manner of sale; and (E) any
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant
to the Registration Statement; and (iii) shall not be available to the extent the Claim arises out of the gross negligence, recklessness,
fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person.


 




    	6



    	 



    






 


(b)In
connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and jointly
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, officers, employees, counsel, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the
1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arise out of or are based upon (i) the inclusion in the Registration
Statement (or amendments or supplements thereto) or prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto) of the written information
furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement (or amendments or supplements
thereto) or prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto); (ii) a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered
the prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto) made available by the Company or the Investor’s use of an incorrect
prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto) despite being timely advised by the Company in writing not to use such incorrect
prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto); (iii) the Investor’s failure to register as a dealer under applicable
securities laws; (iv) the Investor’s gross negligence, recklessness, fraud or willful misconduct; or (v) any omission of
the Investor to notify the Company of any material fact that should be stated in the Registration Statement (or amendments or
supplements thereto) or prospectus (or amendments or supplements thereto) relating to the Investor or the manner of sale; and,
subject to Section 6(c), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred and documented by
the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant
to the Registration Statement.


 


(c)Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any Action
, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party
and such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, the
representation by counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and the indemnifying party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case
may be, and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one (1)
separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such counsel shall be selected
by the Investor, if an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if an Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, as applicable, shall cooperate
fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any Action by the indemnifying party and shall
furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, as applicable,
which relates to such Action. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, as applicable, fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding affected without its written consent; provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, as applicable, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, as applicable, of a release from all liability in respect of the violation or
claim (including the Violations) that is the subject of the Action by the claimant or plaintiff. Following indemnification as
provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person,
as applicable, with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been
made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable,
under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.


 




    	7



    	 



    






 


(d)The
indemnity obligations contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person, as applicable, against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party
may be subject to pursuant to the law. 


 


Section
7.CONTRIBUTION.


 


To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make
the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker
would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6; (ii) no seller of Registrable
Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller
of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such
Registrable Securities.


 


Section
8.REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.


 





With
a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration
(“Rule 144”), provided that the Investor holds any Registrable Securities which are eligible for resale under
Rule 144 and such information is necessary in order for the Investor to sell such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, the Company
agrees to:


 


(a)make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; 


 


(b)file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so
long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s
obligations under Section 5(c) of the Investment Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for
the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and


 





(c)furnish
to the Investor, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements
of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act applicable to the Company, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report
of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably
requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.


 





Section
9.NO ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 


 


This
Agreement and the rights, agreements or obligations hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law, merger or otherwise, and
without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, and any purported assignment by a party without prior written consent
of the other party will be null and void and not binding on such other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, all of the terms,
agreements, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit
of and are enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
