requirements of the 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. The
Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that:

recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability,

Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the
listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the

eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company
is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection
with such electronic transfer.


 


(y)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in
order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar
charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including

(z)
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company
and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules

fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole
do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading.

(aa)
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly,
made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would
require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions
of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.


 


(bb)
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the

assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small
capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account
the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements
and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient
to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend
to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable
on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will
file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the
Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred
in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness
of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes
thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the
ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to

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.

Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company
is current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants which could affect the Company’s ability to perform any of its
obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

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

transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities
at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that
the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if
any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the
hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute
a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.


 


(jj)
Regulation M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly
or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of

Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided

(j)
Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying
in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgements and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions
and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.


 


(k)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser
has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed

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, 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

ARTICLE
IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1
Transfer Restrictions.


 


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


 


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


 


THIS
SECURITY HAS NOT 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 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.


 


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


 



    	 	 	26 



    


     


(c)
Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section
4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security
is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if
such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions, 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 promptly issue a legal opinion
to the Transfer Agent if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. 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 Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144, or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company
to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares 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
the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the
earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined
below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be
transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the
standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares or Warrants Shares, as the case
may be.


 



    	 	 	27 



    


     


(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 $2,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date
such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c),
$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) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from
the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”)
over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend
Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing
on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Shares (as the case may be) and ending
on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).


 


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


 


4.2
Furnishing of Information; Public Information.


 


(a)
If the Common Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof, the Company agrees
to cause the Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the 60th calendar day
following the date hereof. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired,
the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to
timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed
by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act.


 



    	 	 	28 



    


     


(b)
At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all
of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without
restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information
requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future,
and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”)
then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an
amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day
of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty
days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public
information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments
to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information
Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar
month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after
the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public
Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0%
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 Securities or that would be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require
shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing
of such subsequent transaction.


 


4.4

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

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 fifth (5th) 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 fifth (5th) 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 twenty (20) 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 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.


 



    	 	 	33 



    


     


(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 third (3rd) Business
Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such third (3rd) 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 (i) an Exempt Issuance or (ii) shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in connection with an underwritten public offering.


 


4.12
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 and this Agreement
unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents and this Agreement. For clarification
purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each
Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers
acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.


 


4.13
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 Transaction Documents and 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.


 



    	 	 	34 



    


     


4.14
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation
D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers
at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide
evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.


 


4.15
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges
that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant
Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim,
delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and
regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

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 March 22, 2017; provided, however, that such termination
will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).


 


5.2
Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed (i) to reimburse the Placement Agent for all expenses (including,
without limitation, fees and disbursements of the Placement Agent’s counsel, EGS, and all travel and other out-of-pocket
expense) incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with its engagement by the Company for an amount not to exceed a total
of $25,000; and (ii) to pay the Placement Agent the fees specified in the Engagement Letter. The Company shall deliver to each
Purchaser, prior to the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached hereto as Annex A. Except as
expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers,
counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation,
any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

5.3
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral
or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.


 


5.4
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment 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 date of transmission, if such

shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction
Document constitutes, or contains material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company
shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.


 


5.5
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written
instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least a majority in interest of the
Shares then held by the Purchasers, 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 amendment effected in accordance with accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of
Securities and the Company.


 


5.6
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.


 



    	 	 	36 



    


     


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


 


5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties
of the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.


 


5.9
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard
to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including
with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action
or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service
of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party hereto shall
commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations
of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution
of such Action or Proceeding.


 


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


 


5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other
party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.


 



    	 	 	37 



    


     


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 shares
of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate
exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares
pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored
right).


 


5.14
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances
shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities.


 


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


 



    	 	 	38 



    


     


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 hereof 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.


 


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.


 



    	 	 	39 



    


     


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


 


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