steps that would cause the offering or issuance of Common Stock under this Agreement to be integrated with other offerings by the Company.

been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures

taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

restrictions administered by such sanctions authorities; and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering of the Securities contemplated hereby, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any
subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person that is the target of sanctions administered or enforced by such authorities or in connection with any country or territory that is the
target of country- or territory-wide OFAC sanctions (including Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and the Crimea Region of Ukraine) or otherwise in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Money-Laundering Laws. 

(ii) The Company has taken no action designed to, or which to the Knowledge of the Company is reasonably likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting of the Common Stock from Nasdaq, nor has the Company received any notice from the Commission or Nasdaq that the Commission or Nasdaq is contemplating terminating

 (ll) The Company has promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigated all harassment (including sexual harassment),
discrimination or retaliation allegations of which it has been made aware in the past five (5) years. With respect to any such allegation with potential merit, the Company has taken prompt corrective action reasonably calculated to prevent

as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Purchaser has such business

Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. The
Purchaser has no present agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the disposition of the Securities. 

(d) The Purchaser represents and acknowledges that it has not been solicited to offer to purchase or to purchase any Securities by
means of any general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (e) The Purchaser
represents that it is not a Person of the type described in Section 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that would disqualify the Company from engaging in a transaction pursuant to Section 506 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act. 

  
 17 












 (f) The Purchaser understands that the Securities being offered and sold to it in

further acknowledges and understands that the Securities may not be resold or otherwise transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. 

(g) The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the

appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities. 
 (h) As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser has not directly or
indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, engaged in any purchases or sales of the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s
securities) since the time that the Purchaser was first contacted by the Company, or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with it will engage in any purchases or sales of the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are publicly disclosed. 
 (i) The Purchaser will hold in confidence all information concerning this Agreement and the sale
and issuance of the Securities until the Company has made a public announcement concerning this Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Securities, which shall be made not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the first Trading Day
immediately after the signing of this Agreement. 
 (j) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or
any other Governmental Authority has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. 
 (k) Legend.

 (i) The Purchaser understands that the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop
transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Securities): 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR


  
 18 












 
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.” 
 (ii) Upon request from the Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act and applicable securities laws, the Company shall promptly cause the removal of the legend from any such certificate. The
Company shall, at its sole expense, upon appropriate notice from the Purchaser stating that Registrable Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, timely prepare and deliver certificates or book-entry shares representing
the Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates or book-entry shares shall be free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Purchaser may
request. Further, the Company shall, at its sole expense, cause its legal counsel or other counsel satisfactory to the transfer agent: (i) while the Registration Statement is effective, to issue to the transfer agent a “blanket” legal
opinion to allow sales without restriction pursuant to the effective Registration Statement, and (ii) provide all other opinions as may reasonably be required by the transfer agent in connection with the removal of legends, including, without
limitation, any regulation in connection with the removal of legends pursuant to the next sentence. The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of, any legend from such Securities, following the
delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Securities: (A) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, (B) if such Securities are eligible for sale
under Rule 144(b)(1), or (C) following the time that the Registration Statement is declared effective. If a legend removal request is made pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will, no later than two business days following the delivery by
the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Securities (or a request for legend removal, in the case of Securities issued in book-entry form), deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive legends or an equivalent book-entry position, as requested by the Purchaser. Certificates for Securities free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by
the Company’s transfer agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) as directed by the Purchaser. The Company warrants that the Securities
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a the Purchaser effects a transfer of the Securities in accordance with this Section 3.3(k)(ii), the Company
shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser to effect such
transfer. The Purchaser hereby agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend pursuant to this Section 3.3(k)(ii) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any such Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom. 

  
 19 












 (l) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Purchaser, together with its affiliates and
any other Persons acting as a group together with the Purchaser and any of its affiliates, beneficially owned the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page attached hereto (as such ownership is calculated
pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act). 
 (m) If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this
Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (c) any government or other consents that
may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued

(h) upon notification by the Commission that the Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review
by the Commission, the Company shall within five business days following the date of such notification request acceleration of such Resale Registration Statement (with the requested effectiveness date to be not more than two business days later);

 (i) upon notification by the Commission that the Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the
Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act (“Rule 424”) within the applicable time period prescribed by Rule 424 and upon the request of the Purchaser or its affiliates, any prospectus
supplement required or requested in connection with the disposition of the Registrable Shares ; 
 (j) advise the Purchaser promptly:

 (i) of the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto; 

(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Resale Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for
additional information relating thereto; 
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for
any of the preceding purposes; and 
 (iv) of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a
material fact made in the Resale Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Resale
Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (k) cause all Registrable Shares
to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities by the Company are then listed; 

  
 22 












 (l) enter into reasonable and customary agreements (including an underwriting or
other agreement in form customary in the securities business for companies of the size and investment stature of the Company) and use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions as are reasonably required or reasonably requested by
the Purchaser or underwriter in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement; 

(m) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC to the extent
necessary to permit it to lawfully fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) to make available to its security holders, as promptly as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve months, beginning upon
the first disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and 

(n) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (m) of this Section 4.2 and
Section 4.3 and the registration of the Registrable Shares on such Resale Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all its legal, accounting, printing, filing and other fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser and the fees and
expenses of a law firm representing the Purchaser up to $100,000) and for the satisfaction of the blue sky laws of such states. 
 4.3
Rule 415; Cutback. 
 If at any time the staff of the Commission (“Staff”) takes the position that the offering of some or all
of the Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act or requires the Purchaser to be named as an “underwriter,” the
Company shall (in consultation with legal counsel to the Purchaser) use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering
“by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that the Purchaser is not an “underwriter;” provided, that if the Commission or another regulatory agency requests that the Purchaser be identified as a statutory
underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Purchaser will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable
efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 4.3, the Staff refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Shares (the “Cut Back
Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Shares as the Staff may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415
(collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name the Purchaser as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of
the Purchaser. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “Restriction
Termination Date” of such Cut Back Shares). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 4 shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares;
provided, however, that (x) the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be 10 business days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (y)


  
 23 












 
the Effectiveness Deadline with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the 90th day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date or
the 120th day if the Staff reviews such Registration Statement (but in any event no later than ten business days from the Staff indicating it has no further comments on such Registration
Statement). 
 4.4 Indemnification. 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and the partners, members, officers and directors of the Purchaser
and each Person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability (collectively, “Loss”) to which they may become subject
(under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such Loss (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arises out of, or is based upon, any breach of this Agreement by the Company or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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 or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Resale Registration Statement or this Agreement or otherwise and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse the Purchaser, and its
partners, members, officers, directors or controlling Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, or is based upon: (i) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Resale Registration Statement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser, or its partners, members, officers, directors or controlling Persons with respect to themselves specifically for use in preparation
of the Resale Registration Statement; or (ii) any sale by the Purchaser of Registrable Shares in breach Section 3.3 of this Agreement by the Purchaser. 

(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Resale Registration Statement and each director of the Company), from and against any Loss to which the Company (or
any such officer, director or controlling Person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such Loss (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arises out of, or is based upon, any breach of this Agreement by the
Purchaser or untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement (or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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 in each case, on the effective date thereof), if, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser with respect to themselves specifically for use in preparation of the Resale Registration Statement, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company
(and each of its officers, directors or controlling Persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however,
that in no event shall any indemnity paid in the aggregate by the Purchaser and its affiliates under this Section 4.4(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of such Registrable
Shares less the Purchase Price. 

  
 24 












 (c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the
beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 4.4, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of
such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to
participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to
assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided,
however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such
indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be
responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 (d) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does
not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying
party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses at
any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall promptly reimburse the indemnified party for such difference as incurred; in
the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party. 

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any Loss referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder other than the Company be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of
such Registrable Shares less the Purchase Price. 

  
 25 












 4.5 Prospectus Suspension. The Purchaser acknowledges that there may be times when
the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Resale Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or
until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Purchaser hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at
the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus;
provided, that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed 30 days in any 12 month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, the Company would, in the absence of such delay or suspension
hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in
either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company or its stockholders. 

4.6 Termination of Obligations. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof shall cease and terminate,
with respect to any Registrable Shares, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time such Registrable Shares have been resold, or (b) such time as such Registrable Shares no longer remain Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(b)
hereof. 
 4.7 Reporting Requirements. 

(a) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the
sale of the Shares to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company agrees to use: 

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

(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act; and 
 (iii) so long as the Purchaser owns Registrable Shares, to furnish to the Purchaser upon request (A) a
written statement by the Company as to whether it is in compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or whether it is qualified as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Commission
Form S-3, (B) 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 (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Purchaser to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144. 
 4.8 Blue Sky. The Company shall obtain and maintain
all necessary blue sky law permits and qualifications, or secured exemptions therefrom, required by any state for the offer and sale of Registrable Shares. 

  
 26 













	5.	 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 



5.1 Integration. Except as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit
offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares such that the rules of Nasdaq would require shareholder approval of
this transaction prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction. 

5.2 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or announcement concerning the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company (in the case of a release or announcement by the Purchaser) or the Purchaser (in the case of a release or announcement
by the Company) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Company or
the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall allow the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Subject to
the foregoing, the Company shall: (a) promptly following the Closing, issue a press release, in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, disclosing the material terms of the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby promptly

	6.	 MISCELLANEOUS 



6.1 Termination and Survival. (a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (i) by mutual
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser, and (ii) by the Purchaser by written notice to the Company, if the Closing has not been consummated within ten calendar days from the Effective Date provided that the right to terminate
will not be available to the Purchaser if the breach of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or failure by the Purchaser to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the principal cause
of or primarily resulted in the Closing not being consummated during the period specified in this Section 6.1(a)(ii) the Purchaser; provided further, however, that no such termination will affect
the right of any party to sue for, and will not relieve any party hereto from liability for damages resulting from, any breach by the other party (or parties) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement prior to the date
of termination 

  
 27 












 
or from Fraud, and, upon such termination pursuant to this Section 6.1, any purchase price wired to the Company by the Purchaser shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser, but in no event
later than the second Trading Day following such termination. (b) All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed following the Closing shall survive the Closing until
fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance. The representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for 24 months following the Closing provided that, the warranties and representations contained in Sections 3.1(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), (i), (j),
and (kk) and Section 3.3(a), shall survive indefinitely. 
 6.2 Fees and Expenses. Except as

preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. 
 6.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents,
together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such subject matter
hereof and thereof.

waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by (a) the Company and (b) the Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. 

6.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 
 6.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure

 28 












 6.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.8. Without limiting the
rights of any party against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or representatives, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to

 6.9 Governing
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 Delaware, 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, employees or agents) shall be commenced, heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any such legal proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts 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 or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. 

6.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. Counterparts may be delivered via
facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other
transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. 

6.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the
parties hereto shall use their 

  
 29 












 
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
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 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. 
 6.12 Rescission 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 the 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. 
 6.13 Replacement 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 and customary and reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested. 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 Shares. 

6.14 Remedies. The Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, for any breach of the Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision
of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to cause the Closing to occur. The parties acknowledge and agree
that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in
the courts described in Section 6.9 without proof of damages or otherwise (in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.14), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement
and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, neither the Company nor the Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert
that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate
remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this
Section 6.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. 

  
 30 












 6.15 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective
counsel has 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 hereto. 
 6.16 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and
perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the
intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 6.17 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
