or resale of the Securities have not been, and as of the date hereof, are currently not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable

compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company

transfer of the certificates for such Securities):


 


“NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM,
THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED
BY THE SECURITIES.”


 


The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate for the applicable shares of Common Stock without such
legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped or (as requested by such holder) issue the applicable shares of Common
Stock to such holder by electronic delivery by crediting the account of such holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”), if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under
an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption without any
restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold; or (b) the Company or the Buyer
provides the Legal Counsel Opinion (as contemplated by and in accordance herewith) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such
Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer
is effected. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance.
The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance
with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided
by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, under any applicable exemption at

g.
Ranking; No Conflicts. The Note shall be a subordinate debt obligation of the Company. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result
in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach
of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or

indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations
of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities is subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect); or (iv) trigger any anti-dilution or ratchet provision contained in any other contract in which the Company is a party

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is

as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if
any, are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and
any applicable state securities laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization or stock market or any third party
in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note, and the Warrant in accordance with
the terms hereof or thereof or to issue and sell each of the Note and the Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof and, upon conversion
of the Note or exercise of the Warrant, issue Conversion Shares. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which
the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The
Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.


 


h.
SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements
and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred
to herein as the “SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and
none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, 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 light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended
or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof).
As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during
the periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business subsequent to May 31, 2021, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually
or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act. The Company has never been a “shell company” as described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i).

i.
Absence of Certain Changes. Since May 31, 2021, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development
in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, or 1934 Act reporting status
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


j.
Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened,
against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that could have
a Material Adverse Effect. The SEC Documents contain a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened, proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of
the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer acknowledges the existence of all litigations disclosed and outstanding the SEC
Documents.


 


k.
Intellectual Property. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all
patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks,
service names, trade names and copyrights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now
operated (and, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future); there is no claim or action by any person pertaining to, or proceeding
pending, or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, which challenges the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to
any Intellectual Property necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and, as presently contemplated to be operated
in the future); to the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ current and intended products,
services and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual Property or other rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of
any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable
security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.


 


l.
No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or
other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the judgment of the Company’s officers has
or is expected in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract
or agreement which in the judgment of the Company’s officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


m.
Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax
returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes)
and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, whether or not shown or determined
to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all 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 know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations
relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the Company’s tax returns is presently
being audited by any taxing authority.

of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees,

employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

to the Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof and otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in
all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein
or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists
with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, operations or financial conditions, which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company’s reports filed under the 1934 Act are being incorporated into
an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act).


 


p.
Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely
in the capacity of arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
further acknowledges that the Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any statement made by the Buyer or any of its respective representatives
or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely
incidental to the Buyer’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Buyer that the Company’s decision

q.
No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly
or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require
registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to the Buyer will not
be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any shareholder approval
provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.


 


r.
No Brokers. Other than the use of Sutter Securities, the Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any
person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


s.
Permits; Compliance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties
and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there is no action pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts,
defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since
May 31, 2021, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults
or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults

is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental
Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including,
without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws
relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances
or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes,
decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations
issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.


 


(ii)
Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained
on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were
released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the
property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any
of its Subsidiaries’ business.


 


(iii)
There are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
that are not in compliance with applicable law.


 


u.
Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good
and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in
each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(u), if attached hereto, or
such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries
are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


v.
Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such 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 at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request the Company will
provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors
and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.

w.
Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient,
in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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.


 


x.
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any
corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any
direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in
violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.


 


y.
Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have
a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and
matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair
its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company’s financial
statements for its most recent fiscal year end and interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue
as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.


 


z.
No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement
will not be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment
Company”). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.


 


aa.
No Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off- balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act
filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


bb.
No Disqualification Events. None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer,
other officer of the Company participating in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s
outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405
under the 1933 Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”) is
subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the 1933 Act (a “Disqualification
Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to
determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.

cc.
Manipulation of Price. 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, or that could reasonably be expected to cause or 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 securities of the Company.

as amended (the “BHCA”) and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”).
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates owns or controls, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of
the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total equity of a bank or any entity
that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal Reserve. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates exercises
a controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the
Federal Reserve.


 


ee.
Illegal or Unauthorized Payments; Political Contributions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
other business entity or enterprise with which the Company or any Subsidiary is or has been affiliated or associated, has, directly or
indirectly, made or authorized any payment, contribution or gift of money, property, or services, whether or not in contravention of
applicable law, (i) as a kickback or bribe to any person; or (ii) to any political organization, or the holder of or any aspirant to
any elective or appointive public office except for personal political contributions not involving the direct or indirect use of funds
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


ff.
Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company agrees that if the Company breaches any of the representations
or warranties set forth in this Section 3 and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it
will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3 of the Note.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.




 


a.

proceeds shall be used for the repayment of any indebtedness owed to affiliates of officers, directors or employees of the Company or
in violation or contravention of any applicable law, rule or regulation.


 


c.
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever
claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Buyer in order to enforce any right
or remedy under this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant or any
document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby for payments which under applicable law are in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under applicable
law in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and any document,
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed
by law applicable to this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby is increased
or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and any document, agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances
whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Buyer with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this
Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, such excess shall be applied by the
Buyer to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be
at the Buyer’s election.

Stock on the OTCQB or any equivalent replacement exchange or electronic quotation system (including but not limited to the Pink Sheets
electronic quotation system) (as applicable, the “Principal Market”) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the Principal
Market and any other exchanges or electronic quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then traded regarding the continued eligibility
of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.


 


f.
Corporate Existence. The Company will, so long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, maintain its corporate existence
and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s
obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith, and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation
whose Common Stock is listed for trading or quotation on the Principal Market, any tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market or the New York Stock
Exchange (including the NYSE American).


 


g.

that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities
to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable
to the Company or its securities.


 


h.

i.
Compliance with 1934 Act; Public Information Failures. For so long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company
shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements
of the 1934 Act. During the period that the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, if the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy
the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirements
under Rule 144(c); or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future,
and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then,
as partial relief for the damages to the Buyer by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which
remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, or at law or in equity), the Company
shall pay to the Buyer an amount in cash equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price on each of the day of a Public Information
Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the date such Public Information
Failure is cured. The payments to which a Buyer shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(i) are referred to herein as “Public
Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar
month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred; and (ii) the third business day after the event or failure
giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments
in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per month (prorated
for partial months) until paid in full.


 


j.
Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information. By 9:00 a.m., New York time, one (1) business days following the Closing
Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in
the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching this Agreement, the form of Note (the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing
of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees
or agent shall disclose to the Buyer any material, nonpublic information that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective
upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under
any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors,
affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the Buyer or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.


 


k.
Legal Counsel Opinions. Upon the request of the Buyer from to time to time, the Company shall be responsible, at its cost, for
promptly supplying to the Company’s transfer agent and the Buyer a customary legal opinion letter of its counsel (the “Legal
Counsel Opinion”) to the effect that the resale of the Conversion Shares by the Buyer or its affiliates, successors and assigns
is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Rule 144, provided the requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied
and provided the Conversion Shares are not then registered under the 1933 Act for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement,
or other applicable exemption, provided the requirements of such other applicable exemption are satisfied. Buyer will provide the customary
representations to counsel in order to provide such an opinion. Should the Company’s legal counsel fail for any reason other than
that the requirements of said exemption are unavailable in the reasonable opinion of counsel to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, the
Buyer may, at the Company’s cost, secure another legal counsel to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, and the Company will instruct
its transfer agent to accept such opinion. The Company hereby agrees that it may never take the position that it is a “shell company”
in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise.


 


l.
Most-Favored Nation. So long the Note and/or the Warrant are outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company of any new security,
with any term that the Buyer reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder
of such security that the Buyer reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Buyer in the Note, the Warrant, or under this Agreement,
then (i) the Holder shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within one (1) business day of the issuance or
amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such term, at Buyer’s option, shall become a part of the Note, Warrant
or this Agreement, as applicable (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Section).
The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited
to, terms addressing conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, and original issue discounts.
If Buyer elects to have the term become a part of the Note, Warrant or this Agreement, as applicable, then the Company shall immediately
deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer (the “Acknowledgment”)
within one (1) business day of Company’s receipt of request from Buyer (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Company’s
failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

m.
Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide
the Buyer or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public
information, unless prior thereto the Buyer shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep
such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that the Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to the Buyer
without such Buyer’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer 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, not to trade
on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Buyer shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent
that any notice provided, information provided, or any other communications made by the Company, to the Buyer, constitutes or contains
material non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice or other
material information with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition to any other remedies provided by this Agreement
or the related transaction documents, if the Company provides any material non-public information to the Buyer without Buyer’s
prior written consent, and the Company fails to immediately (no later than that business day) file a Form 8-K disclosing this material
non-public information, it shall pay the Buyer as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty a sum equal to $3,000 per day beginning
with the day the information is disclosed to the Buyer and ending and including the day the Form 8-K disclosing this information is filed.

day after the Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of the Subscription

Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall
expire on the next business day after the Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.


 


v.

p.
Business Day. As used in this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday

5.
Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Company’s transfer agent to issue certificates,
registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, upon conversion of the Note, or the Warrant, the Conversion Shares, in such amounts
as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”) as provided for at Exhibit D hereto. In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent,
the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserved shares
of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount (as defined in the Note)) signed by the successor transfer agent to the Company and the Company.
Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to
any applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately
sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend as specified in this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction

and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided

economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.


 


m.
Indemnification. In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder,
and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement or the Note, the Company shall defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect
investors and any of the foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Buyer Party”) from and against any and all third
party actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith
(irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising
out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, the
Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement
or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement, the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these
purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement of this Agreement, the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby;
(ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the
Securities; or (iii) the status of the Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable
law. If any action shall be brought against any Buyer Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such
Buyer 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 Buyer Party. Any Buyer 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 Buyer 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 Buyer 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 Buyer Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Buyer 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 Buyer Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by such Buyer 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
Buyer Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

n.
Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note, or the Warrant will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, the Note, or the Warrant that the Buyer shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or
injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Agreement, the Note, or the Warrant and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. As
to any item not covered herein, the Buyers will have the right of set off with regard to the payment of the Purchase Price or any other
obligation that may become due by the Buyers and to the Company.


 


o.
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder or pursuant to the Note,
or the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or 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 or entity under
any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, 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.


 


p.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies of the Buyer existing hereunder
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
