ARTICLE II.

PURCHASE AND SALE

Closing. On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to
sell, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, up to an aggregate of $14,002,049 of Shares and Warrants; provided,
however, that, to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s
Affiliates, and any Person acting as a group together with such purchaser or any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates) would beneficially
own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or as such Purchaser may otherwise choose, in lieu of purchasing Shares such
Purchaser may elect to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of Shares in such manner to result in the same aggregate purchase price
being paid by such Purchaser to the Company. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the
election of the Purchaser at Closing, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of the Securities on the Closing Date. Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, via wire transfer, immediately
available funds equal to such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on the signature page hereto executed by such
Purchaser, and the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares and Warrants, as determined pursuant to Section
2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. Upon
satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall occur at the offices of the Placement
Agent or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and the Purchaser’s
Subscription Amount set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, the number of Shares purchased by a Purchaser (and its Affiliates)
hereunder shall not, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser (and its Affiliates)
at such time, result in such Purchaser beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act)
in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of the Securities on the Closing Date(the “Beneficial Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s Subscription
Amount, to the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned
upon the issuance of Shares at the Closing to the other Purchasers signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s beneficial
ownership of the Shares would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum, such Purchasers’ Subscription
Amount shall automatically be reduced as necessary in order to comply with this paragraph.

(a)

as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii)

rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.

as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded

certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries
as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation

shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees
of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.


 


(u)           
Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers
as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
Trading Market.


 


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

Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date
hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the
Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason
to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing
corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing
corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.


 


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


 


(z)           
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company
and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules
to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken
as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made,
not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(aa)         
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2, 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 of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would
require the registration of any such Securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions
of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.


 


(bb)        
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect
to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb)
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which
the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x)
any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state
and local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which
it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined
to be due on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the
payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There
are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.


 


(dd)        
No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold
any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale
only to the Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities
Act.


 


(ee)         
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary,
any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for

made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties
or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made

respect any provision of FCPA.

Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each
of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents
and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor
or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities.

Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company

or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically
including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future

any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or
indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed
to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction.
The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times
during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the
Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce
the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being
conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the
Transaction Documents.


 


(ii)           
Regulation M Compliance.  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 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

and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein,

existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate,

the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the
part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered
by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and
(iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.


 


(b)           Understandings
or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation
and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise
in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary
course of its business. Such Purchaser understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are “restricted securities”
and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such Securities as
principal for his, her or its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof
in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such
Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement
or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell
the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.


 


(c)           
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is,
and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer”

(d)          
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able
to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment.


 


(e)           
General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over

    	 	17	 



     


    

 


(f)           
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents
(including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions
as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions
of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the
Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable
it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can
acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 
Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such
Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. 
Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities
and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser
agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement
Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.


 


(g)          
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser
has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed
any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time
that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company
setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth
above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s
representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents
and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction
(including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in
order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right
to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties
contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing
shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1          
Transfer Restrictions. (a)The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to
the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may
require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable
to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any
such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall
have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.


 


 


 






    	 	18	 



     


    

 


(b)           
 The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities
in the following form:


 


[NEITHER]
THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE ] [HAS BEEN ] REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED
BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.


 


(c)          
The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement
with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is
an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer
would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor
shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s
expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably
request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under
the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.


 


(d)          
Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section
4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security
is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and the Company
is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants),
(iii) if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with
the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares, (iv) if the Shares or Warrant Shares
may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming
cashless exercise of the Warrants) or (v) if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities
Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then such Shares or Warrant
Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent
promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if required
by a Purchaser. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under
this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising
the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of
a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend
Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free
from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer
Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal
hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker
with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”
means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with
respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares or Warrants Shares, as the
case may be, issued with a restrictive legend.


 


 


 






    	 	19	 



     


    

 


(e)           
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on
the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section
4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for
each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails
to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities
so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal
Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of
a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company
without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions
and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Shares
or Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest
closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser
to the Company of the applicable Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment
under this clause (ii).


 


(f)            
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell
any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold
in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from
certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
understanding.


 


4.2           
Furnishing of Information; Public Information.


 


(a)           
Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants
to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after
the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act.


 


(b)           
At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that
all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public
information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in
the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”)
then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an
amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day
of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter
until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no
longer required for the Purchasers to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser
shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) 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 (3rd) 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 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until
paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure,
and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities
in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require
shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing
of such subsequent transaction.

Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (c) in connection
with any registration statement of the Company providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Warrant Shares issued and issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will indemnify each Purchaser Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees) and expenses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in such registration statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions
are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Party expressly
for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection therewith. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company
in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable
to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate
in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the
extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after
a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party,
in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.
The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected
without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but
only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein
shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.9           
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve
and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling
the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.


 


4.10         
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of
the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply
to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares
and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on
any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other
action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly
as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock
on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the
bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment
of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.


 


4.11         
Lock-Up Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements
except to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its
terms. If any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best
efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.


 


4.12         
Subsequent Equity Sales.


 


(a)           
From the date hereof until forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i)
issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case other than as contemplated
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.


 


(b)           
From the date hereof until the two (2) years anniversary after the Effective Date, the Company shall be prohibited from
effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise
price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares
of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or
upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market
for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity
line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price; provided, however, that the Company may
establish and/or use an at-the-market facility with the Placement Agent six (6) months following the date hereof. Any Purchaser
shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition
to any right to collect damages.


 


(c)           
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable
Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.


 


 


 






    	 	23	 



     


    

 


4.13         
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or
paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat
the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect
to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.


 


4.14         
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this
Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to
the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant
to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and
terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes
any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press
release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any
securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser
shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries
after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of
a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing
other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.


 


4.15         
Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or
forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority
in interest of the Shares.


 


4.16         
Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures
required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall
be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form
be required in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares
in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.


 


4.17         
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company
shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers
at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide
evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


5.1          
Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder
only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the
other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof;
provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other
party (or parties).


 


5.2           
Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay
the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such
party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered
by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with
the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.


 


5.3           
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 thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and
schedules.


 


5.4           
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature
pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email
address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York
City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd)Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally
recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address
for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. To the extent that any notice
provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains material, non-public information regarding the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on
Form 8-K.


 


5.5           
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a
written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest
of the Shares based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing Date, the Company and each Purchaser)
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any
amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of
such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. 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. Any proposed amendment or waiver
that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable
rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any
amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.


 


5.6           
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.


 


 


 






    	 	25	 



     


    

 


5.7           
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors
and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any
Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound,
with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”


 


5.8           
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and
warranties of the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement
is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted 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 Section 4.8 and this Section
5.8.


 


5.9          
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 New York, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents)
shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such 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 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 any party shall commence an Action
or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under
Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action
or Proceeding.


 


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


 


5.11         
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. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create
a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.


 


5.12         
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 commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result
as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention
of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any
of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.


 


 


 






    	 	26	 



     


    

 


5.13         
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 such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant
notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock
subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid
to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s
Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).


 


5.14         
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. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under
such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance
of such replacement Securities.


 


5.15         
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery
of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations
contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any
such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 


5.16         
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction
Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from,
disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


 


5.17         
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way
for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for
any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented
by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience
only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through the legal counsel of the Placement
Agent. The legal counsel of the Placement Agent does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent.
The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company
and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each
provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and
not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.


 


 


 






    	 	27	 



     


    

 


5.18         
Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing
under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated
damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial
liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.


 


5.19         
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration
of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


5.20         
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity
to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments
thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be
subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions
of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.


 


5.21         
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY
OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY,
UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
