of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent

and none of the parties thereto is in breach or default in the performance of any of the terms or provisions of such VIE Agreement. None
of the parties to any of the VIE Agreements has sent or received any communication regarding termination of, or intention not to renew,
any of the VIE Agreements, and no such termination or non-renewal has been threatened by any of the parties thereto.

or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,

by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports,
the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions

to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets

procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act

Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since

over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
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 Shares 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 Shares are 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. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, 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.

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.


 


(x)           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.


 


(y)           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 which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus
Supplement. 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 (and read in conjunction
with the SEC Reports) 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.


 






    19


     


    

 


(z)            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 the Warrants or Warrant Shares 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.


 


(aa)         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(aa) 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 IFRS. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect
to any Indebtedness.


 


(bb)         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.

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

gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) 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 by any person acting on its
behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect
to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.


 


(ee)         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. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.


 


(ff)          Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has
been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities

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 shareholders' 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.

as of such date):


 


(a)           Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing

to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of 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 such Securities pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws).


 


(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 an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7),
(a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.


 






    25


     


    

 


(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)           Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, 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.

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.

Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication

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           Removal
of Legends.


 


(a)           The
Warrants and Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer
of Warrants or Warrant Shares 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 Warrant under the Securities Act.


 


(b)           The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Warrants or Warrant Shares
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.


 






    27


     


    

 


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 Warrants or Warrant Shares 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 Warrants or Warrant Shares 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 Warrants and Warrant Shares may reasonably request in connection
with a pledge or transfer of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.


 


(c)           Certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while
a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale
of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or (iii) if such Warrant Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or (iv) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).
The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly if required by the Transfer
Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant
is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant
Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) or 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 Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), the Company 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 Warrant Shares, as applicable, 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. Warrant Shares 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 Shares as in effect on
the date of delivery of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend.


 






    28


     


    

 


(d)           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 Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares 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), $5 per Trading Day
(increasing to $10 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) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion
of the number of Common Shares, or a sale of a number of Common Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Common Shares, 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 Common Shares 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 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 Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser
to the Company of the applicable Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section 4.1(d).


 


(e)           The
Shares shall be issued free of legends.


 


4.2           Furnishing
of Information.


 


(a)           Until
the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants 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.


 






    29


     


    

 


(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 Warrant Shares (assuming cashless exercise) 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 Warrant
Shares, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Exercise Price of such Purchaser’s Warrants 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 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.


 


4.3           Integration.
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 Securities in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Warrants or Warrant Shares 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.


 


4.4           Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 6-K, including the Transaction Documents as

of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral,
between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one
hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult
with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor
any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company,
with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release
of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case
the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing
with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as
required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the
extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with

material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that
such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers,
directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors,
agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall
remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on
the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.


 


4.7           Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.


 






    31


     


    

 


4.8           Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the
Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any
capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser
Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material
breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or
understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal
securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser 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.


 






    32


     


    

 


4.9           Reservation
of Common Shares. 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 Common Shares 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 Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Shares 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 Shares 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 Shares 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 Shares 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         Participation
in Future Financing.


 


(a)           From
the date hereof until the date that is the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
of Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent
Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 35%
of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in
the Subsequent Financing.


 


(b)           At
least three (3) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written
notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser
if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). 
Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly,
but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser.  The Subsequent
Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended
to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall
include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.


 






    33


     


    

 


(c)           Any
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser is willing
to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that
such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such third (3rd) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified
the Company that it does not elect to participate.


 


(d)           If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications
by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in
the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent
Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


(e)           If
by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation
Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. 
 “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.11 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased
on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.11.


 


(f)           The
Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation
set forth above in this Section 4.11, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated
for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial
Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


(g)          The
Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related
to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended to, exclude one
or more of the Purchasers from participating in a Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, provisions whereby such Purchaser
shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to
any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the
prior written consent of such Purchaser.


 






    34


     


    

 


(h)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm
in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose
its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not
be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent
Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent
Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction
shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information
with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


(i)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.12         Subsequent
Equity Sales.


 


(a)           From
the date hereof until 90 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to
issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents.


 


(b)           From
the date hereof until the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of this Agreement or (ii) such time as no Purchaser
holds any of the Warrants, 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 Shares or Common Share 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 Common
Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Shares, provided that the issuance of convertible securities with anti-dilution provisions that provide
for the adjustment of the conversion or exercise price of the securities upon the future issuance of lower priced securities shall not
be deemed to be a Variable Rate Transaction 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, after ninety (90) days following the date of this Agreement, the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
an equity line of credit shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction hereunder; provided, further that Sixth Borough Capital
shall have the right of first refusal to effectuate such equity line of credit with the Company. 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.


 






    35


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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.


 






    36


     


    

 


4.15         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.


 


4.16         Form D;
Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Warrant and Warrant Shares 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 Warrant and Warrant Shares 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.


 


4.17         Registration
Statement.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement on Form F-3 (or other appropriate
form if the Company is not then F-3 eligible) providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants issued as soon as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of the Closing Date). The Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective (i) within sixty (60) calendar
days of the Closing Date, in the event of no review by the Commission; (ii) otherwise, within ninety (90) calendar days following
the Closing Date, and to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof.


 


ARTICLE V.

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

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. In
addition to the Transaction Expenses, the Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial
advisory fees, transfer agent fees, Depositary Fees, DTC fees or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Purchaser)
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, (x) any fees or commissions payable
to the Placement Agent, who is the Company’s sole placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and (y) any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), and any stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares to the Purchasers.
The Company shall pay, and hold each Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment. Except as otherwise
set forth in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the Shares to the
Purchasers.

5.3           Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,

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

Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-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, 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.

of the provisions hereof.


 


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

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. Prior to Closing, the Company will appoint its agent for service of process in New York and inform the
Purchasers of the same in writing. The choice of laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement will be honored
by competent courts in the British Virgin Islands and the People’s Republic of China, subject to compliance with relevant the British
Virgin Islands and/or People’s Republic of China, as applicable, civil procedural and other requirements. None of the Company nor
any of its properties, assets or revenues has any right of immunity under the British Virgin Islands, the People’s Republic of
China or New York law, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding,
from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands, the People’s Republic of China, New York or
United States federal court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment,
or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment,
in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement; and, to the extent that the Company, or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled
to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company hereby waives such right
to the extent permitted by law and hereby consents to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.

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 email delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic medium recognized as an electronic signature under applicable law, 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, “.pdf” signature page or other electronic signature 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.


 


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 Common Shares 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
EGS. EGS 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.


 






    41


     


    

 


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 Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share
dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares 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.
