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 for the 12 months preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time
of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension pursuant to the reporting requirements of 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 June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021, 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 is unaware 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.

Status. The Company and each 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.

and other than the grant of stock options described in the SEC Documents, none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company
is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental

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).


 


p. Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges
that each Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby and any statement made by each Buyer or any of its respective representatives or agents in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to each Buyer’s
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement
has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives.


 


q. No
Integrated Offering. 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 in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require
registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to each Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to each Buyer will not
be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any shareholder approval
provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.


 


r. No
Brokers; No Solicitation. Except with respect to the Placement Agent and Maxim Group LLC, both of which are FINRA registered broker-dealers,
the Company 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 any 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. No
General Solicitation; Placement Agent's Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their
behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with
the offer or sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory
fees, or brokers’ commission (other than for persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out
of the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability,
loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any
such claim for fees arising out of the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that is has engaged
Alere Financial Partners, a division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC, as its exclusive placement agent (the “Agent”) in connection
with the sale of the Securities. Other than the Agent, the Company has not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with
the sale of the Securities.


 


t. 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 2021, 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.


 


		u.	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.


 


v. 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.


 






    9 


     


    

 


w. 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 each Buyer true and correct
copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial
general liability coverage.


 


x. Internal
Accounting Controls. 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.


 


y.  Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, except where such noncompliance would not have, individually or in the aggregate,
a material adverse effect on the Company or its prospects.


 


z. Labor
Matters. The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state, local and foreign laws
and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,
except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material
adverse effect.


 


aa.   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.


 


bb.   Solvency.
The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) 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.


 


cc.   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.


 






    10 


     


    

 


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.


 


dd. Bank Holding
Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”)
and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates owns or controls, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of 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. Except as described
in Schedule 3(ff), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including “piggy-back” registration
rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the SEC or any other governmental authority that have not expired or been
satisfied or waived.


 


gg. 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 each Buyer and the Placement Agent pursuant to this
Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company
shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to each Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement
under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification),
and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to each Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.


 






    11

partnership, enterprise or other person (except in connection with the Company’s currently existing operations), (iv) any loan,
credit, or advance to any officers, directors, employees, or affiliates of the Company, or (v) in violation or contravention of any

than arrangements that are in place or disclosed in SEC Documents prior to the date of this
Agreement, so long as the Company shall have obligations under the Note which equal or exceed $250,000 in Principal Amount (as
defined in the Note) (the “Principal Amount”), the Company will not, (i) directly
or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to
purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ debt, equity, or equity equivalent securities, including without
limitation any debt, preferred shares or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and/or under any circumstances,
convertible into, exchangeable, or exercisable for Common Stock (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred
to as a “Subsequent Placement”) or (ii) enter into any definitive agreement with regard to the foregoing, in each case
unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(d).


 


(ii) The
Company shall deliver to each 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 each Buyer at least thirty percent (300%) of the securities in the
Subsequent Placement (in each case, an “Offer”).


 


(iii) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, each Buyer must deliver a written notice (the “Notice of Acceptance”) to the Company
prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Trading Day (as defined in the Note) after each Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice
(the “Offer Period”), setting forth the amount that each Buyer elects to purchase (the “Subscription Amount”).
The Company shall complete the Subsequent Placement and issue and sell the Subscription Amount to each 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 each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period of such new Offer
shall expire at the end of the fifth (5th) Trading Day after each Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.


 


(v) The
Company’s obligations under this Section 4(d) shall terminate with no further action required by the Company, the Placement
Agent, or the Buyer on the business day the Company consummates an Uplist Offering.


 


(vi) 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 each 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 each 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
each 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 each Buyer’s election.

be unreasonably withheld: (a) change the nature of its business; or (b) sell, divest, acquire, change the structure of any material
assets other than in the ordinary course of business.

hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation
whose Common Stock is listed for trading or quotation on the Principal Market, any tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock
Exchange or the NYSE MKT.


 


g. No
Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would

integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the
Company or its securities.


 


h. Breach

with 1934 Act; Public Information Failures. For so long as each Buyer beneficially owns the Note, Warrant, Conversion Shares, or any
Warrant 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 each 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,

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 each Buyer an amount in cash equal to three percent (3%) 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 earlier
of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (iii) the third
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 5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.


 


j. Exchange
Right. In addition to all other rights in this Agreement, the Company shall provide written notice to each Buyer at least three (3) business
days prior to the Company’s consummation of an offering of Common Stock (or units consisting of Common Stock and warrants to purchase

any successors to any of the foregoing) (an “Uplist Offering”), and each Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion
to exchange all or a portion of the then remaining outstanding balance of the Note for the Common Stock (or units consisting of Common
Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock) being offered in the Uplist Offering pursuant to the transaction terms of the Uplist Offering.


 






    13 


     


    

 


k. Disclosure
of Transactions and Other Material Information. By 9:00 a.m., New York time within four (4) Trading Days of this Agreement being
fully executed, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K (if required) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching this Agreement, the form of Note (the “8-K Filing”).
From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, each Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information
received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents that is not disclosed
in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and each Buyer or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall
terminate.


 


l. Legal
Counsel Opinions. Upon the request of each Buyer from to time to time, the Company shall be responsible (at its cost) for promptly
supplying to the Company’s transfer agent and each 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 Warrant Shares by each 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 Warrant 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, each 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.


 


m. Registration
Rights. The Company has granted each Buyer the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement entered into between
the Company and each Buyer on the date of this Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C.


 


n. Most
Favored Nation. 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 Buyer”) that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting
such Other Buyer in a manner more favorable in any material respect to such Other Buyer than the rights and benefits established in favor
of each Buyer by this Agreement or the Note unless, in any such case, each Buyer has been provided with such rights and benefits pursuant
to a definitive written agreement or agreements between the Company and each Buyer. The Company’s obligations under this Section 4(n) shall
terminate with no further action required by the Company, the Placement Agent or the Buyer on the Post Lock-Up Termination Date (as defined
below), so long as the Company’s common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the
NYSE American, or any other national securities exchange on the Post Lock-Up Termination Date. The “Post Lock-Up Termination Date”
shall mean the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the date that the Buyer is no longer subject to any restrictions
under the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 4(q) below). For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments that have occurred
under this Section 4(n) prior to the termination of this Section 4(n) shall remain in full force and effect at all
times, including after the Company’s obligations under this Section 4(n).


 


o. Subsequent
Variable Rate Transactions. So long as the Company shall have obligations under the Note which equal or exceed $250,000 in Principal
Amount, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement 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

p. Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide each Buyer
or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public
information, unless prior thereto each 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 each 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 each 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 each 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
each 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 each 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 each 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 each Buyer and ending and
including the day the Form 8-K disclosing this information is filed.


 


q. Market
Stand-Off Agreement. To the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, each Buyer shall not sell
or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Securities or other shares of stock of the Company then owned by such Buyer (other than to donees
or partners of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the lock-up agreement
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). The Buyer shall enter into a form of
lock-up agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company and/or the underwriter. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company
may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to each Buyer's registrable securities of the Company (and the Company shares or securities
of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.


 


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 each Buyer’s option, registered in the name of each Buyer or its nominee, upon conversion of the
Note and/or exercise of the Warrant, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, in such amounts as specified from time to time by each
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 Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act
or the date on which the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant 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 each 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 each 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 each 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 each 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) each 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 each 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 each 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.

and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to

In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, and in addition
to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement or the Note, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless each Buyer and its stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect Buyers and any of the
foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether
any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating
to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, the Note or any other
agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation
of the Company contained in this Agreement, the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes
a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement of this Agreement, the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
(ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of
the Securities, or (iii) the status of each Buyer or holder of the Securities as an Buyer in the Company pursuant to the transactions

shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable
law.


 


n. Remedies.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each 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 each 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.


 






    19 


     


    

 


o. Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the (i) Company makes a payment or payments to each 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) each
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 each 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 each 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 each 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 each 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 each Buyer existing hereunder are cumulative to,
and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
