THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, RULE 144A, REGULATION S, OR OTHER APPLICABLE
EXEMPTION UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT

4(m) hereof) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which
opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its
transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented
by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In
the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel (which may be the Legal Counsel Opinion) provided by the Buyer with
respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other
applicable exemption at the Deadline (as defined in the Note), it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the

h.
SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required
to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934
Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein
as the “SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under
applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof). As of their
respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects
with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods
involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case
of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included
in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business subsequent to March 31, 2022, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business
and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or
in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act. The Company has never been a “shell company” as described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i).


 


i.
Absence of Certain Changes. Since March 31, 2022, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development
in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or 1934 Act reporting
status of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


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


 


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


 


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

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


 


n.

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

has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges and agrees that neither the Buyer nor its
employee(s), member(s), beneficial owner(s), or partner(s) solicited the Company to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions
described in this Agreement.


 


s.
Permits; Compliance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties
and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there is no action pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts,
defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since
March 31, 2022, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults
or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults
or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


t.
Environmental Matters.


 


(i)
There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as
defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or
contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign
laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water,
groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes
(collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as
all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice
letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 




    	8



     


    

 


v.
Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able
to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request the Company will
provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors
and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.


 


w.
Internal Accounting Controls. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance
that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization
and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is
taken with respect to any differences.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

cc.
Manipulation of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has: (i) taken, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to cause or to result, or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased,
or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation
for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.

the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total equity of a bank or any entity
that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal Reserve. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates exercises
a controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the
Federal Reserve.


 


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


 


ff.
Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company agrees that if the Company breaches any of the representations
or warranties set forth in this Section 3 and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it
will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

    	10



     


    

 


(ii)
The Company shall deliver to
the Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, which shall
(w) identify and describe the Subsequent Placement, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or
exchanged, and the number or amount of the securities in the Subsequent Placement to be issued, sold, or exchanged and (y) offer to issue
and sell to or exchange with the Buyer at least one hundred percent (100%) of the securities in the Subsequent Placement (in each case,
an “Offer”).


 


(iii)
To accept an Offer, in whole
or in part, the Buyer must deliver a written notice (the “Notice of Acceptance”) to the Company prior to the end of the third
(3rd) Trading Day (as defined in the Note) after the Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”),
setting forth the amount that the Buyer elects to purchase (the “Subscription Amount”). The Company shall complete the Subsequent
Placement and issue and sell the Subscription Amount to the Buyer upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices
and interest rates) set forth in the Offer Notice, unless a change to such terms and conditions is agreed to in writing between the Company
and Buyer.


 


(iv)
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms or conditions of a Subsequent Placement at any time
after the Offer Notice is given to Buyer (provided, however, that such modification or amendment to the terms or conditions cannot occur
during any Offer Period), the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period of such new Offer shall expire
at the end of the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.


 


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

of any material assets other than in the ordinary course of business.

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


 


h.
Corporate Existence. The Company will, so long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, maintain its corporate existence
and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of

to the Company or its securities.


 


j.
Breach of Covenants. The Company acknowledges and agrees that if the Company materially breaches any of the covenants set forth

Compliance with 1934 Act; Public Information Failures. For so long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, Warrant, Conversion
Shares, or any Exercise Shares, the Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue
to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. During the period that the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, if the Company
shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the
current public information requirements under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i)
or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public
Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to the Buyer by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability
to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, or
at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to the Buyer an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price on each of
the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter
until the date such Public Information Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(k)
are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the

of 5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

Acknowledgement Regarding Buyer’s Trading Activity. Until the Note is fully repaid or fully converted, the Buyer shall not
effect any “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock which

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


 


o.
Piggyback Registration Rights. The Company has granted the Buyer the piggy-back registration rights set forth on Exhibit B
hereto.


 


p.
Most Favored Nation. Except with respect to any Exempt Issuance or the Equity Line, while the Note or any principal amount, interest
or fees or expenses due thereunder remain outstanding and unpaid, the Company shall not enter into any public or private offering of
its securities (including securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) with any individual or entity (an “Other Investor”)
that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such Other Investor in a manner more favorable in any material respect
to such Other Investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Buyer by this Agreement or the Note unless, in any such
case, the Buyer has been provided with such rights and benefits pursuant to a definitive written agreement or agreements between the
Company and the Buyer.


 


q.
Subsequent Variable Rate Transactions. Except with respect to any Exempt Issuance or the Equity Line, from the date hereof until

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 any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity
line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. The Buyer 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.


 


r.
[Intentionally Omitted].


 


s.

information, unless prior thereto the Buyer shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep
such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that the Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to the Buyer
without such Buyer’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, not to trade
on the basis of, such material, non- public information, provided that the Buyer shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent
that any notice provided, information provided, or any other communications made by the Company, to the Buyer, constitutes or contains
material non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice or other
material information with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition to any other remedies provided by this Agreement
or the related transaction documents, if the Company provides any material non-public information to the Buyer without their prior written
consent, and it fails to immediately (no later than that business day) file a Form 8-K disclosing this material non-public information,
it shall pay the Buyer as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty a sum equal to $3,000 per day beginning with the day the information
is disclosed to the Buyer and ending and including the day the Form 8-K disclosing this information is filed.

5.
Transfer Agent Instructions.
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Company’s transfer
agent to issue certificates and/or issue shares electronically at the Buyer’s option, registered in the name of the Buyer or its
nominee, upon conversion of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrant, the Conversion Shares and Exercise Shares, in such amounts as specified
from time to time by the Buyer to the Company in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).
In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such
replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including
but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserved shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount (as defined in the Note)) signed
by the successor transfer agent to the Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and/or Exercise Shares
under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and/or Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation
S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately
sold, all such certificates or book entry shares shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company
warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5 will be given
by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company
as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair,
and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Securities
to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note and/or upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrant
as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or
impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions
in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Securities issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note and/or
upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrant as and when required by the Note, Warrant, and/or this Agreement and (iv) it will
provide any required corporate resolutions and issuance approvals to its transfer agent within 6 hours of each conversion of the Note
and/or exercise of the Warrant. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth
in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the
Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Company, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the
1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant
to 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Securities,
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations
as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the
Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy
at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach
by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.


 


6.
Conditions to the Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Note to the
Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions thereto, provided
that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion:


 


a.
The Buyer shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to the Company.


 


b.
The Buyer shall have delivered the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1(b) above.

the Closing Date, as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), and the Buyer
shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this
Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.


 




    	14



     


    

 


d.
No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated
or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority

n.
Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
of this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable
herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any
other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
hereof and thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.


 


o.
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the (i) Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder, pursuant to the Note,
pursuant to the Warrant, or pursuant to any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii)
the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, pursuant to the Note, pursuant to the Warrant, or pursuant to any other agreement,
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or exercise or any part thereof (including but not limited to the sale of the Securities) are for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Buyer, or (ii) are required to be refunded,
repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation,
any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then (i) 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 and (ii) the Company shall immediately pay to the Buyer a dollar
amount equal to the amount that was for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, or disgorged by the Buyer, or (ii) required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver
or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action).


 


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


 


q.
Leak Out. The Buyer’s sale of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant, on each respective Trading Day (as defined

EXHIBIT
B


 


REGISTRATION
RIGHTS


 


All
of the Conversion Shares and Exercise Shares shall be deemed “Registrable Securities” subject to the provisions of this Exhibit
B. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit B shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase
Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.


 


1.
Piggy-Back Registration.


 


1.1
Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the date of the Closing the Company proposes to file any Registration Statement
under the 1933 Act (a “Registration Statement”) with respect to any offering of equity securities, or securities or other
obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders
of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed
in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan on Form S-8, (ii) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) in connection
with a merger or acquisition, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities
appearing on the books and records of the Company as such a holder as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before
the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included
in such Registration Statement, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters,
if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of
such number of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within three (3) days following receipt of such notice (a
“Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall
cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to
be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the
sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (with the
understanding that the Company shall file the initial prospectus covering the Buyer’s sale of the Registrable Securities at prevailing
market prices on the same date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC).


 


1.2
Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable
Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand
pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities
in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 1.5 below.


 


1.3
The Company shall notify the holders of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating to such holder’s Registrable
Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which,
the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
then existing. At the request of such holder, the Company shall also prepare, file and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of
copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
the Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.
The holders of Registrable Securities shall not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement after
receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.


 




    	21



     


    

 


1.4
The Company may request a holder of Registrable Securities to furnish the Company such information with respect to such holder and such
holder’s proposed distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement as the Company may from time
to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and such holders shall furnish
the Company with such information.


 


1.5
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Exhibit B by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether
or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence
shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s
counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the SEC, (B) with respect to filings required
to be made with any trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in compliance with applicable state securities
or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities) and (D) with respect to any filing
that may be required to be made by any broker through which a holder of Registrable Securities intends to make sales of Registrable Securities
with the FINRA, (ii) printing expenses, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company, (v) 1933 Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, (vi) fees and expenses of all other persons
or entities retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Exhibit B and (vii)
reasonable fees and disbursements of a single special counsel for the holders of Registrable Securities (selected by holders of the majority
of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration). In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses
incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries
and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall
the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any holder of Registrable Securities.


 


1.6
The Company and its successors and assigns shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, each holder of Registrable Securities, the officers,
directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person
holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each individual or entity who controls
the Buyer or any such holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act)
and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally
equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling individual
or entity (each, an “Indemnified 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 (collectively,
“Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in a Registration Statement, any related 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 such prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Exhibit
B, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the
Buyer or such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such party for use therein. The Company shall notify the Buyer
and each holder of Registrable Securities promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Exhibit B of which the Company is aware.


 


1.7
If the indemnification under Section 1.6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless
for any Losses, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the Company and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted
in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and Indemnified Party shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by,
the Company or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include
any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such
party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 1.6 was available to such
party in accordance with its terms. It is agreed that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.7
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.7, neither the Buyer nor any holder
of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds
actually received by such party from the sale of all of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or related
prospectus exceeds the amount of any damages that such party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.
